But when the police investigated, no trace of him was found, and the mystery deepened when a stranger later described the very man Simone had seen.

"Why do you seek the living among the dead?" This question from the angels at Jesus' empty tomb challenges everything we assume about death, life, and how forgiveness operates. When confronted with the resurrection, we must reconsider our understanding of reconciliation and forgiveness.Our natural instinct when wronged is to establish boundaries and limits. Peter approached Jesus with this very mindset, asking, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?" He sought permission to draw a line in the sand. Jesus responded by transforming the question entirely, shifting from a limit to a lifestyle of forgiveness.The story becomes deeply personal when we consider Peter's own failure. After boldly declaring his loyalty, Peter denied Jesus three times beside a charcoal fire. Yet after resurrection, Jesus intentionally prepared another charcoal fire on the shore, creating the perfect setting for reconciliation. Before Peter even swam the hundred yards to reach him, Jesus had already set the stage for healing.This message outlines five practical ways to know if we've truly forgiven someone: Have we released their debt? Do we entrust justice to God rather than seeking vengeance? Do we wish them good rather than harm? Are we actively pursuing reconciliation? And most importantly, are we viewing them through the lens of what Christ has done for us rather than what they've done against us?Forgiveness isn't primarily about feelings but choices. Like the women who couldn't properly honor Jesus' body before the Sabbath but discovered he was already risen, we often feel our efforts at forgiveness are inadequate. Yet Jesus works in the unseen while we wait. He prepares the shore, starts the fire, and waits for us to simply come to him.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of London's most hauntingly beautiful—and paranormally charged—cemeteries: Highgate. Established in 1839, this sprawling Victorian burial ground became a resting place for some of history's greatest minds, including Karl Marx and George Eliot. But beneath its towering tombstones and weathered statues lies a far darker legend—one filled with ghostly figures, chilling whispers, and even tales of a vampire said to stalk its pathways.   Join Tony as he uncovers the strange history of Highgate Cemetery, from its days as a grand garden burial ground to its descent into ruin and rebirth as a paranormal hotspot. With firsthand accounts, historical records, and expert theories, this episode digs into whether Highgate's hauntings are the product of environmental triggers, psychological suggestion—or something far more sinister.

  Last year in episode 186, we talked about Grove Street Cemetery's pioneering role as the first planned cemetery in the country. The design of Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven in the 1790s used several of the features that became standard, like family plots and established walkways.   Today, we're going to move the clock forward and discuss the rural cemetery movement of the 19th century with Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford as a signature example.   Established in 1864, Cedar Hill Cemetery encompasses 270 acres of landscaped woodlands, waterways, and memorial grounds. The urban oasis serves as a sanctuary for Connecticut history, impressive funerary art, and natural beauty. In this episode, Host Mary Donohue interviews Beverly Lucas, Director of the Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation. The Foundation is the non-profit that raises money for the restoration of the monuments and also hosts many events and guided tours.  Be sure to follow the Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation on Facebook and Instagram to find out about upcoming programs.   ----------------------------------------------------- Wesleyan Press book offer!

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of Central City's Masonic Cemetery, a burial ground steeped in tales of the supernatural. Listeners will journey through the cemetery's origins during the Gold Rush era, uncovering stories of early settlers and the town's resilience following the devastating fire of 1874.  Tony delves into the enduring legend of the Lady in Black, a spectral figure said to appear annually at a specific gravesite, and examines other reported phenomena, including mysterious orbs and shadowy apparitions.  Through eyewitness accounts and historical records, this episode explores the intersection of history and hauntings, questioning what might be behind the persistent reports of paranormal activity in this historic Colorado town.

In folklore and fiction, ghouls and malevolent spirits often go hand-in-hand with horror literature and media. They are often depicted as monstrous, demon-like beings associated with deadly confrontations, leading to terrible results.In more contemporary reports, the witnesses detail horrific encounters with unimaginable humanoids, shapeshifters, and cryptid abominations.In some cases, these scenes are performed in the gardens of the dead. The wind whispered through the skeletal branches of ancient oaks, their gnarled roots clawing at the earth, where the veil between worlds seemed unnaturally thin, and the air hung heavy with the scent of decay and forgotten memories.I'm about to take you into that gruesome place, as I reveal real eyewitness accounts and testimonies about cemetery encounters that these experiencers simply did not expect.Hi.

Gettysburg is steeped in Civil War history, but one of its most overlooked narratives—the history of its Black community—is about to receive a long-overdue acknowledgment. This month, Lincoln Cemetery, Gettysburg’s only surviving Black burial ground, will undergo a significant transformation. Volunteers will gather to place grave markers at over 130 unmarked graves recently discovered through ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Jean Green, President of the Lincoln Cemetery Association, has been leading this effort. “The cemetery was established in 1867 as a final resting place for Gettysburg’s Black citizens,” she explains. “It is the only concrete evidence that there was a Black community here.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of WN Movie Talk Podcast, I discuss Cemetery Junction (2010), a criminally underrated coming-of-age film written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Best known for their work on The Office and Extras, Gervais and Merchant took a bold step into feature filmmaking with this poignant yet often hilarious comedy-drama, set against the backdrop of 1970s working-class Britain.I break down the film's exceptional ensemble cast, featuring Christian Cooke, Felicity Jones, Jack Doolan, Tom Hughes, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, and Matthew Goode. With a mix of rising stars and established actors, the film boasts powerhouse performances that bring depth to its themes of youthful ambition, societal expectations, and the struggle to escape small-town life.Beyond the cast, I explore how Cemetery Junction meticulously recreates the look and feel of 1970s Britain—from its soundtrack of era-defining rock classics to its depiction of blue-collar life, rigid class divisions, and changing social attitudes. This isn't just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it's a film that balances humour and heartbreak in a way that deserves far more recognition than it received upon release.And of course, I reflect on Ricky Gervais' career trajectory—how did Cemetery Junction fit within his body of work? Was it a departure from his usual comedic style, and why did it struggle to find an audience? We also discuss his later projects, from Derek and After Life to his forays into Hollywood filmmaking.If you love hidden gems, British cinema, and coming-of-age films, this episode is a must-listen!

On this episode, we visit the Mount Auburn Cemetery in nearby Cambridge and Watertown, Massachusetts. Following a suggestion by Hannah Elder, Associate Reference Librarian for Rights and Reproductions at the MHS, we investigate one connection that we have to the Cemetery: a key to Robert C. Winthrop's tomb.  Mount Auburn is the first American cemetery that purposely combined commemoration with elements of experimental gardening, picturesque landscape design, and access to nature, starting a trend across the nation in the mid-19th century that led to the creation of the first public parks in this country.

Once a bustling gold rush town, Girdwood's graveyard is home to eerie reports of ghostly apparitions, footsteps in the dark, and strange whispers.

Dan's first of two stories is centered around a school nurse who claims her encounter literally ended her career. It's very intense, and not fun to think that what she claims to have witnessed could be real.  For his second story, Dan will share the haunted lore of South Carolina's Oakwood Cemetery,  and an encounter that took place there. Lynze gives us two spoopy tales and one heart-warming story of confirmation. Her first story takes out to the woods where a bunch of kids party with the unknown. Then, someone is joined in bed by a not-so-comforting visitor. And finally, a beautiful story of a mom speaking to her son from the great beyond. Bad Magic New Merch Monday: Introducing the Scared to Death Snakes Tee featuring a prominent classic sigil icon surrounded by some serious spoopy snakes.
