Some think him to be a centuries old vampire. Others believe him to be a time traveler. And still others believe the whole thing to be a complete fraud.

(History's Most Daring Prison Breaks) *** What would you do if you discovered that the church you attend every Sunday has a dark past that involves hauntings and supernatural phenomena? We'll look at some of the most haunted churches in the United States – perhaps you attend one of them and don't even realize it!

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from an immortal vampire said to haunt two centuries of high society, through history's most audacious prison escapes, into the bloody rise of a Las Vegas gambling kingpin, and ends among the haunted pews of America's churches.It opens in London in the early 1740s, where a man known as the Count of St. Germain charmed the upper classes with flawless violin playing, fluency in several languages, and a habit of handing out diamonds, prompting Horace Walpole — son of Prime Minister Robert Walpole — to describe him in a letter as odd and mad before the Count was arrested on suspicion of spying and released without charge. He surfaced next in Paris as a regular guest of Louis XV, working in a commissioned laboratory on fabric dyes and carrying out discreet missions, while gossip held that he could turn ordinary stones into jewels and had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, even claiming presence at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. After reported appearances aiding Catherine the Great in Russia and a friendship with Prince Charles of Hesse-Cassel in Germany, where he was said to die in 1784, the story jumps to early-1900s New Orleans and a wealthy newcomer named Jacques St. Germain, who threw lavish parties yet never ate or drank, claimed descent from the Count, and bore an uncanny resemblance to him. The account turns dark when a woman leapt from his balcony into the street, telling police he had bitten her neck; St. Germain vanished overnight, leaving his belongings behind and several open bottles that proved to hold a mixture of wine and blood.From there the episode trades immortality for ingenuity, walking through the boldest jailbreaks on record. It runs from the 2016 Orange County escape, where Jonathan Tieu, Bac Duong, and Hossein Nayeri cut through walls and rappelled to a sixteen-hour head start, to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán slipping out of Altiplano through a mile-long lighted tunnel in 2015, and Clinton Correctional inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt crawling through a steam pipe with tools handed over by prison worker Joyce Mitchell. Ted Bundy jumped from a Colorado courthouse library window, John Dillinger bluffed his way out of an Indiana jail with a wooden pistol painted in shoe polish, and yoga master Choi Gap Bok greased himself and squeezed through a six-by-eighteen-inch food slot in thirty-four seconds. The larger breakouts carry heavier counts: three men vanished from Alcatraz in 1962 on a raft of raincoats, more than 480 Taliban prisoners filed out of Kandahar's Sarpoza Prison through a thousand-foot tunnel in 2011, over a thousand Japanese prisoners stormed the wire at Australia's Cowra camp in 1944, and inmates at the Nazi death camp Sobibor killed eleven SS guards with homemade knives before running for the treeline.Next the episode settles in Dallas and then Las Vegas with Lester Ben "Benny" Binion, the cowboy-hatted racketeer who founded the World Series of Poker and shot rival bootlegger Frank Bolding in the neck in 1931, walking away with a two-year suspended sentence and the nickname the Cowboy. He killed gambling competitor Ben Frieden in 1936 and beat the charge after witnesses vanished, ran dice games and bookies out of Dallas hotels for high rollers like Howard Hughes and H.L. Hunt, then moved to Las Vegas in 1946 and turned the Eldorado into the no-limit Horseshoe, laying down the first carpet in a Vegas casino. His feud with Dallas gambler Herbert "the Cat" Noble ran through eleven attempts on Noble's life and killed Noble's wife Mildred with a car bomb before a mailbox blast ended Noble in 1951. Binion died on Christmas Day 1989 and was carried to the cemetery behind six black horses, while his son Ted was found dead in 1998 in a case that convicted Sandy Murphy and Rick Tabish of burglary but acquitted them of the slaying, with the missing silver bullion never recovered.The episode closes inside America's churches, where worship shares the building with the dead. At Most Holy Trinity in Brooklyn, built over a former cemetery, parishioners report the spirit of clerk George Stelz, murdered in 1897, alongside bells that ring on their own and a bloody handprint in the bell tower stairway. The Washington National Cathedral carries the echo of Woodrow Wilson's cane and charred figures from a 1946 fire, while New Orleans' St. Louis Cathedral is tied to voodoo queen Marie Laveau, socialite Delphine Lalaurie, and six men executed on its grounds. At St. Mark's Episcopal in Cheyenne, a Swedish immigrant is said to have sealed his dead coworker inside the unfinished bell tower wall to avoid deportation, and at St. Paul's Chapel in New York — where George Washington prayed on his inauguration day — the spirit of actor George Frederick Cooke is said to wander still, his actual skull having traveled from a Philadelphia medical library and, by lore, onto the stage as a prop in Hamlet.

Navigating Ethical Boundaries in Legal Practice: Rules of Professional ResponsibilityIn this episode, we explore the complex landscape of legal ethics, focusing on how lawyers can ethically acquire and maintain clients while respecting core principles like truthfulness, client independence, and supervisory responsibility. Given the evolving technological environment, understanding these boundaries has never been more crucial.Most legal ethics rulings are designed to prevent one thing: the abuse of power. But what happens when the game shifts from humans to AI at the speed of light? If you think ethics rules are straightforward, think again—particularly when it comes to client acquisition, courtroom communication, and supervising your entire firm. This episode pulls back the curtain on the complex, high-stakes world of legal professional responsibility, revealing the precise rules that guard against manipulation, deception, and overreach—and what happens when they're tested by emerging technology.We start with the foundational question: what's the difference between advertising and solicitation—and why does it matter? You'll discover how courts have fluctuated over the years, struggling to balance First Amendment rights with the need to shield vulnerable clients from high-pressure tactics. Through concrete examples—like billboard claims of million-dollar verdicts and high-stakes hospital visits—you'll see how subtle omissions or the context of a message can turn truthful claims into ethical violations.Navigate the labyrinth of rules governing communication—Rule 7.1's strict honesty, Rule 7.2's regulated advertising channels, and Rule 7.3's targeted, live, electronic solicitation—and learn how to identify when a practice crosses the line. We break down hot-button issues like "reply all" in email threads, the use of social media, and even AI-driven client outreach—highlighting real cases, from the famous Orlik ambulance chaser to the Supreme Court's anti-solicitation rulings. How do you ethically approach a distressed client, or a potential plaintiff found through social media? Find out.Crucially, we reveal the immense responsibility that supervisory lawyers bear under Rules 5.1 to 5.3. Learn how systemic failures—like neglecting conflict checks or ignoring misconduct—can lead to disbarment, even if you didn't directly commit the violation. We analyze the stark reality that reporting misconduct or stopping unethical acts often comes at great personal cost, as seen in landmark cases like BoHatch v. Butler and Binion. Your ethical duties aren't just about compliance—they're about safeguarding the integrity of the profession itself.Finally, we peer into the future: what happens when law firms deploy autonomous AI to identify clients and initiate contact at lightning speed? Could the core principles of protecting clients and maintaining honesty withstand the rapid evolution of legal technology? This episode offers a sharp, insightful blueprint to understand where the law stands now—and what you'll need to navigate the uncharted waters ahead.Perfect for law students, young attorneys, or anyone serious about the ethics that underpin the legal system—this isn't just exam prep, it's your guide to building a principled, resilient legal practice in a world that's changing faster than ever.

A Cry For Revival | When God Comes Down | Abundant Life Church | Pastor David Binion
Send a textLas Vegas wasn't built by saints.It was built by gamblers.In this episode, we dive deep into the life of Benny Binion — the Texas-born gambling boss who fled murder rumors and federal heat, arrived in the Nevada desert, and helped shape modern Las Vegas.Born in rural Pilot Grove, Texas, Binion left school early and learned odds at livestock auctions instead of in classrooms. By the 1930s, he was running powerful illegal gambling operations in Dallas, shadowed by allegations of violence and gangland-style rivalries.In 1946, under mounting legal pressure, he packed up his family and headed west — to a young Las Vegas still finding its identity.What followed was a career that would define downtown Vegas:A deadly rivalry with Herbert “The Cat” Noble that led to car bombings and bloodshedThe loss of his Nevada gaming licenseA five-year federal prison sentence for tax evasionThe bold creation of Binion's Horseshoe, where gamblers could truly “bet the limit”And the founding of the World Series of Poker, transforming a backroom game into a global phenomenonBut the story doesn't end with Benny.We explore the shifting landscape of 1970s Las Vegas, the violent undercurrent of the era, the murder of G. William Coulthard, and the unraveling of the Binion dynasty — culminating in the shocking 1998 death of Ted Binion and the buried silver fortune that stunned the nation.This is not just the story of one man.It's the story of how risk built a city — and how time eventually collects its debts.
The 2014 unsolved murder of D'Lisa Kelley has raised serious questions about investigative decisions and accountability.In this episode, I explore the timeline of her case and the concerns surrounding the law enforcement response. The investigation draws additional scrutiny due to the involvement of a Dallas police sergeant who was later connected to the controversial 2016 death of Tony Timpa, a man who died while restrained by officers during a call for help. The overlap between these cases raises difficult but necessary questions about oversight, responsibility, and how repeated controversies can impact public trust and justice outcomes.If you have any information about the murder of D'Lisa Kelley, you can call the North Texas Crime Commission at 877-373-8477 or visit their website to submit a tip at www.ntcc.crimestoppersweb.comConnect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Tragedy with a View:Hosted by Kayla, Tragedy with a View is an outdoor lover's podcast for those who love true tales of tragic loss and unbelievable survival involving the wilderness, wildlife and weather.

Random Vegas There are an average of 315 weddings per day in Vegas (@vegas_only) TwitPic of the week It's a glorious sign that is given depth and size when you see people standing next to it, shared by @Vegas_Visual. The Mint sign, one of the all-time great neon signs in Las Vegas. It runs a close second of the Dune turret marquee as those most missed from the landscape. The Mint was absorbed into Binion's Horseshoe in 1989. A part of the sign still exists to this day, viewable from the staircase up to Whiskey Liquor up. Unfortunately, the Neon Museum wasn't established until 1996 so it wasn't saved for posterity. News 360 Vegas Book Out Backstreet Boys Sphere Residency Flamingo New Go Pool Plans Alexxa @Paris

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/29/2024): 3:05pm- Jurors have begun deliberation in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial. Could we get a verdict before the end of the day? Trump has been charged with having concealed payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounts to falsified business records which ultimately influenced the 2016 election. 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Andrew C. McCarthy explained the bizarre instructions Judge Juan Merchan gave to the jury prior to deliberation—in order to convict former President Donald Trump, the jury is not required to agree on which crime was committed. And in a piece he wrote for National Review, McCarthy explained, Judge Merchan “effectively concealed what should have been fatal holes in [the prosecution's] case.” 3:40pm- Dr. Ben Carson—Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development & a Retired Neurosurgeon and Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University—joins The Rich Zeoli and reacts to Joe Biden's appearance at Girard College in Philadelphia on Wednesday, where the president attempted to appeal to black voters. Dr. Carson argues that it'll take more than one trip to Philadelphia to stifle the enormous progress Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made with black voters. Dr. Carson's new book— “The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family”—which he co-authored with his wife Candy Carson, is available here: https://a.co/d/5RggqEs 3:55pm- While speaking from Girard College in Philadelphia on Wednesday, President Joe Biden asked, “what do you think Trump would have done on January 6 if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?...This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder.” He went on to compare former President Donald Trump to a “landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin.” 4:05pm- Jurors began deliberation in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial on Wednesday—they were dismissed for the day after several hours and will resume at 9:30am on Thursday. Trump has been charged with having concealed payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounts to falsified business records which ultimately influenced the 2016 election. 4:20pm- Before entering court on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump told members of the press that “Mother Theresa could not beat those charges,” questioning Judge Juan Merchan's impartiality. 4:30pm- Billy Binion of Reason.com writes, “the Sixth Amendment was originally seen as vital to preserving liberty. Yet it has been consistently watered down” and that “Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch rebuked one such way today: the use of six-member juries, as opposed to the historical practice of 12-person panels” in his opinion for Cunningham v. Florida. You can read Binion's full article here: https://reason.com/2024/05/28/an-embarrassing-mistake-neil-gorsuch-rails-into-floridas-use-of-6-person-juries/ 4:40pm- According to a new report, Florida has had more unprovoked shark attacks since 1837 than any other state—with 928! Plus, would you rather be bit by a shark or become a movie star? How is this even a question?!?! 5:05pm- In a new Wall Street Journal editorial, Libertarian Walter E. Block argues that Libertarian voters in swing states should cast their ballots for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump—not Libertarian presidential candidate Chase Oliver. You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/libertarians-should-vote-for-trump-4ef84994?mod=opinion_lead_pos8 5:15pm- Jurors began deliberation in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial on Wednesday—they were dismissed for the day after several hours and will resume at 9:30am on Thursday. Trump has been charged with having concealed payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounts to falsified business records which ultimately influenced the 2016 election. 5:30pm- Donald Trump spoke to the press after leaving court on Wednesday—and explained that the trial would have been over by now if he had a “fair judge.” 5:40pm- While appearing on Fox News, Andrew C. McCarthy explained the bizarre instructions Judge Juan Merchan gave to the jury prior to deliberation—in order to convict former President Donald Trump, the jury is not required to agree on which crime was committed. And in a piece he wrote for National Review, McCarthy explained, Judge Merchan “effectively concealed what should have been fatal holes in [the prosecution's] case.” 6:05pm- The New York Times has targeted Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for flying an American flag upside down in response to a confrontation with a neighbor displaying a political message with an expletive. It was flown by Alito's wife—a sign of distress following the conflict. Additionally, Alito has been criticized by the left for having flown an “Appeal to Heaven” flag from his shore house in New Jersey—with the left arguing it's an insurrectionist symbol. However, the flag is associated with George Washington and John Locke and remains the official maritime flag of Massachusetts. 6:30pm- While appearing on The View, First Lady DOCTOR Jill Biden said that if Donald Trump were to appoint one more Justice to the Supreme Court, Americans would “lose all our rights!” 6:45pm- Christopher Cadelago, Sally Goldenberg, and Elena Schneider write that Democrats are in a full-blown freakout over the 2024 election cycle—specifically Joe Biden's potential performance at the top of the ticket. “A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden's reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/28/democrats-freakout-over-biden-00160047
