John writes "October 2025, there were a few of us sitting around the table in our off‑grid hunting shack, just enjoying each other's company. For context, we're deep in the PNW backcountry: no power, no civilization for miles, and no motorized vehicles allowed anywhere near the place. Out of nowhere we heard a thud on the side of the shack. My wife said, "There's something outside," but a friend brushed it off, saying it was probably just a piece of firewood settling in the stove. So we ignored it. A moment later, another thud, louder this time. Three of us got up, opened the door, and checked down the side of the shack where the sound came from, but there was nothing there. Convinced it was probably nothing, two of us headed back inside while the third said he needed to use the shitter (our name for the outhouse). We had barely sat down again when, just seconds later, he, let's call him "J" came sprinting back inside, not even making it to the outhouse. He blurted out, "There's something out there," and the fear on his face was real. This is a military veteran who's seen his share of things, and he said whatever it was made a deep exhale or grunt from just outside. So J, S, and I went back out. We'd only walked about 15–20 feet toward the shitter before stopping. The outhouse sits around 40–50 feet from where we stood, with no trees between us. Behind it, though, the timber tightens up. I saw it first. "What the hell is that?" I said. What I saw was a small red glowing light, pulsing faintly. A minute later J said, "What the hell is that?" he had finally locked onto it too. S still couldn't see it yet. The red light looked like a tiny, dim LED, pulsing on and off. The night was pitch‑black—so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. Whenever I stared directly at the light, it would vanish, and I'd have to move my head around, almost like searching around branches for an angle. Then it would reappear… then vanish again… then reappear somewhere slightly different. At one point, I saw three separate red lights at the same time, all at different heights but roughly eye‑level. Always single lights, never two together like eyes. That's when S finally said, "What the hell…" and he was clearly shaken. He'd been scanning the area with a thermal scope the whole time and seeing nothing until suddenly he saw what he described as a face, a circular white heat signature peeking from behind a tree or stump before disappearing again. After that, the red light on the far right appeared noticeably closer, now unobstructed by any branches. S kept saying, "Red… off… red… off… red… off…" in rhythm with the pulsing. We've had three other strange experiences over the past decade that we've never been able to explain, one was an extremely loud and heavy scream that terrified all of us, and the other involved a group of large ground nests. All of those seemed like possible Bigfoot‑related activity. Because of that history, it almost feels logical that these red lights might be connected. What I'm trying to figure out is whether you've ever come across anything like this, or if you know of any accounts describing similar red lights. I'm obsessive when it comes to researching things, but I keep running into dead ends, mostly references to red glowing eyes or floating orbs. This wasn't eye shine; there was no light source to reflect off of. And the orb stories I've found don't match what we saw either. This experience doesn't resemble anything I've come across in the short time I've been digging into it." We will also be speaking to Marissa, she writes "I've gone back and forth about writing to you because I'm not sure how relevant my experience really is but after hearing witnesses on your show describe encounters with dogman-type creatures, I can't help wondering if what we saw might fit into that category. My boyfriend, Brian, and I live full-time in a truck camper, traveling around the U.S. This happened in mid-July, when we were camped on BLM land past the Delta-09 Missile Silo, just outside Badlands National Park. It was a full-moon night, but we set up camp while there was still daylight. We made a fire, Brian cooked dinner and almost immediately after we arrived, I noticed something odd. A herd of cows in the distance suddenly came running over a hill, almost as if they were spooked. For the next several hours, as we ate and the sun went down, those cows made nonstop distressed sounds. We couldn't see them, but we could hear them, and it was eerie. One of my dogs refused to get out of the truck as well, which was extremely unusual for her. Eventually, once the moon rose, the cows went silent. The night was beautiful, so we decided to take a moonlit walk along the dirt road with our other dog. We walked maybe half a mile and then laid down to look at the stars. We'd been on the ground less than a minute when my dog gave an alert bark. We sat up, and about 60 yards ahead of us, we saw a large black figure. My first thought was that it was a cow until my eyes adjusted and I realized it had canine features. I tried to convince myself it was a coyote, even though it was far too big. We aimed our flashlights at it, and that's when everything turned strange. It had no eye shine at all. I've lived in the woods most of my life; every animal I've ever seen at night reflects light. But this thing's eyes were just… black holes. The entire body almost seemed to absorb the light rather than reflect it. No matter how many times we shone our beams on it, no more detail appeared. It just stayed this pitch-black shape, panting loudly far louder than you'd expect from that distance. I had the unsettling feeling that it was staring directly into my eyes and that it was intelligent, more so than any wild animal I've encountered. We yelled at it, but it didn't flinch or move. A normal coyote would've bolted. I told Brian, "I don't want that thing behind me," which is not how I react to coyotes at all. We started heading back to camp me walking forward, Brian walking backward to keep an eye on it. Later, when we talked it through, things got even stranger. There were two of them. I had been so fixated on the one in front of us that I completely missed a second creature off to our right closer, and according to Brian, noticeably larger. Brian isn't someone who believes in Bigfoot, dogmen, skinwalkers, or anything of that nature, but he said it felt like the one farther away the one I was staring at was in control of the closer one, almost like an owner and a dog. He also said its legs looked blurry or formless when the light hit them, which matched what I felt but didn't say out loud. As he kept watch, both creatures followed us for about a quarter mile, staying just far enough back, until they finally slipped into the hills. Almost immediately after they disappeared, the cows started up again with the same panicked cries from earlier. We've gone over this experience so many times, and we always land in the same place: those were not coyotes. They were something neither of us can explain. So I'm reaching out to ask have you heard other reports of canine-like creatures with jet-black eyes and no eye shine? Does this sound more like something people attribute to a skinwalker, or is a dogman encounter a possibility? I know humans lack eye shine, but these things were absolutely not human. I haven't been able to find anything online that matches, other than a general trend of strange reports from the Badlands. I'd really love to hear your thoughts on what we might've seen."

Join me as I review The Search for Power edited by Margaret Weis live! Share your thoughts on this second Tales of the War of Souls anthology, released by Wizards of the Coast on April 4, 2004. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4pq15AC  https://youtube.com/live/BWdlgmkHRnc About The Search for Power The latest Dragonlance anthology, featuring an introduction by Margaret Weis. This newest anthology focuses on the lives and ways of dragons in the era following the end of the New York Times best-selling War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Edited by Margaret Weis and filled with a dozen stories from both well-known Dragonlance authors and a few newcomers, this is the first anthology to feature stories that take place in the current Dragonlance time period. Review Osuin's Treasure by Mark Sehestedt Subcommander Maros, Knight of the Lily Uthun, Knight of Takhisis Aithan, squire to Sil Euric of Solanthus Djerid, Nerakan Barbarian, guide, scout Illus Goiar Sir Isurlak, Order of the Skull Toras Cloram Baren, Lord Osuin's son, Sable's dragon spawn This is a great way to start an anthology! What a good story. It's filled with tension and fear, nearly palpable! We pick up with a Dark Knight company who came across a Solamnic knight company, and defeated them. One wagon went over a cliff as they were traveling toward Sanction. The manifest stated something about Lord Osuin't Treasure, but there was nothing in the wagon. Only a squire of a Solamnic Knight survived, and he wasn't speaking. They found a dying Knight who, when they told him the cage in the back of the wagon was empty, replied they would all die. But no one would say what the treasure was. Subcommander Maros took a finger from the squire, but he only repeated the oath. They began to travel toward Sanction and the Treasure caught up to them and started killing. Again, the tension of this unseen creature was great, and as men started dying, it only escalated. The creature wiped out the entire Dark Knight company. When Maros came to, he was being wanted by the squire. The treasure was Lord Osuin's son, taken by Sable the Black Dragon Overlord and turned into one of its Dragon Spawn. It left the squire alive for the kindnesses the squire showed it while transporting it. But Maros was dying, so the squire told him what and who the treasure was. This was well worth a read and I just love horror stories like this one. Loyalty by Richard A. Knaak Captain Salvas, minotaur captain, silver dragon Shield Commander Drako Jek, first mate, minotaur Volcanus, red dragon Oh man, this was great! A minotaur ship was scouring the seas looking for rebels and defectors, and arrived at an island as a storm set in. As the minotaurs were disembarking their captain, Salvas, left ahead of the others and found a cave with a massive dragon totem in it. He transformed into his true form, a silver dragon named Shield. He had been looking for the skull of his mate, killed by a red dragon named Volcanus, who was also killed by Malystrix. Shield could feel the death of Malys somehow, but when he went to destroy the totem, the spirit of Volcanus appeared. He would let Shield's mate's spirit leave the totem, if Shield let Volcanus' spirit in him as a new body. He refused and he was wounded by the awesome power of the spirit of Volcanus. Then his crew arrived, as he quickly shifted into minotaur form again. They took him to camp at the shore where he was pounded and healed for days. Then they knocked him out and he awoke under a net. They realised he was a dragon and they believed he was going to kill him. When Shield explained what he was doing and why, he told them all to leave so he could free his mates soul. They left on their longboats and Shield returned to succumb to Volcanus. But when he began to enter Shields’ body, he said he would not let his mates go free. Shield struggled, then suddenly the minotaurs all rushed in and started attacking the totem. They lost many of their crew, but the totem was destroyed and Shields’ mate was rescued in death. Shield woke to his first mate who explained the outcome and left the skull for him. They fought for the loyalty of their captain. It was such a moving story about brotherhood and loyalty. It reminded me of being in the military, and what any true friend would do, and I loved it all. Knaak knocks yet another story out of the park. The Dragon's Child by Nancy Varian Berberick Raven Thorn Inferno, red dragon What a fun story. Raven, a human thief, was scouring the mountains around Sanction for a dragon’s den to steal egg shells to sell. Since the return of the gods and magic, they were a premium with wizards for spell components. As he went in he saw the eggs all smashed and draconians entered. He ran from them, with his dragon egg shell, but they were taken by a kapak as he fled in the tunnels that are beneath Sanction. The great red dragon Inferno was returning to her lair when she noticed her eggs destroyed, and decided to try to cut off any escape by entering the tunnels near the lords of doom, but most were collapsed except for the volcanoes themselves. Raven continued to flee the Draconians, running into even more before running into a wyrmling. Apparently one of the dragon’s eggs hatched and the wyrmling followed him. He gave it water and hid it when the draconians got close. Eventually he came out of the tunnels into a massive cavern with treasure and the draconians were there, and started fighting when Inferno arrived and destroyed the draconians. The wyrmling told inferno the human was helping it, and the dragon offered a boon to the human, giving him some treasure and told him the way out. It was a great little tale and now I want a wyrmling. Four Ends by John Helfers Threxellex, red dragon Relk, sivak Gul, minotaur bandit L'Arth, pirate This was a quick tale about revenge. A woman and her son were taken by a red dragon's minion and brought to him. He believed two of his pirates were stealing from him, so he held the son and had the women lie to each of them in turn, convincing them to kill the dragon and each other for the treasure, and to rescue her son. They both agreed separately, greed convincing them of the act. When they got to the cave, the dragon killed them. Then the woman was brought back to the dragon, but she told him that her children were killed and the two pirates had killed them and wronged her. Now it was this dragon’s turn. The sivak and the child turned into silver dragons and killed the red with the woman watching. It was a nice little story that showed even dragons can be tricked, and more, good dragons are willing to work with humans when they are allowed to hunt down and kill evil dragons. I really liked the idea, and the idea of pirate towns in Dragonlance. I don't feel like we have enough of them. At the Water's Edge by Jamie Chambers Anar Sovralian, Qualinesti Elf Ebon Nightshadow, Black Dragon Kerasina, elf Ealthan, elf This was a great story, and I am not sure if it was a dream or not. The Elf Anar was trailing elves, and saw them talk with an individual. He went to the man and cast a charm spell on him to get information about where the elves had gone. With the information he traveled to the former lair of Ebon Nightshadow, a black dragon and former servant of Beryl. He was then caught by elves. He saw his wife, the reason he was searching for the elves, and pleaded with her to leave with him, but she refused. Convinced these elves abducted her, he fought them, only to once again be subdued. She told him that after their son died fighting to allow them to live in the dwarven tunnels, she came out and wanted to fight to reclaim their homeland of Quialinesti. But he believed the Dark Knight and Goblin hoards were too much, so he pleaded with her to leave with him. After she refused he started fighting the elves again, and they beat him down. His wife held him as he passed out and awoke in an alley, as if from a dream. I think this is a great story but the idea of a wife abandoning her husband for nationalism actually bothers me more than anything else. I understand wanting to fight for your homeland, but what then? Who will you share it with? Did you ever love your partner in the first place if you so willingly abandon them? It's tough to think about. Lake of Death by Dan Willis. Tendek, former Knight of Neraka Wylinger, kender Donnala, Tendek's twin sister, former Knight of Neraka I thought this story was going somewhere but I was completely wrong. Twins and former Knights of Neraka were traveling through Qualinesti after treasure seeking in the Plains of Dust with the kinder Wylinger, they came across a band of goblins and a donkey. They were tired of hauling this cart full of loot themselves, so they attacked the goblins, running them off, and took the Donkey. Wylinger named her Lesie, and they continued north. They eventually came to a massive lake with the name of Lake of Death, this is of course former Qualinost. They decided to make camp when they saw a boat, and decided to take it across the lake. Lesie was very difficult to get in the boat as she was afraid of the lake, and it turned out, with cause. The lake was haunted by the spirits of the dead. This freaked out the donkey who kicked the two former Dark Knight sin to the water, refusing to let them on board. As they continued through the lake, the kender convinced the donkey to let them aboard by promising to share their treasure with her. Then once on the other side of the lake, they disembarked and traveled to the green valley beyond. This story had a number of oddities in it. First, the kender got scared from the ghosts in the Lake of Death, but kender are supposed to be fearless, unless they are an afflicted kender, but Wylinger didn't show any signs of being afflicted. Then the donkey being able to understand the kender and humans, even making deals with them was nonsensical. I get that donkeys are known to be stubborn, but promising them food and treasure as if they understand it is ridiculous. Then to end it so abruptly, I wonder what the true purpose of this story was meant to be. The Dragonslayers by Douglas W. Clark Skerrith Dragonslayer Ragweed Pollenflower, kender Ruby Columbine, barmaid Targe, patron Borstan Dunnerth, mayer of Trader's Lot Grot, rancher A dragonslayer named Skerrith came to town and started boasting about his exploits in a tavern. The kender was awestruck and asked for more and more stories as the mayor appeared. He mentioned that the town was suffering over a dragon who had been killing the ranchers’ livestock. They offered the dragonslayer the opportunity to kill the dragon and save the town, for a price of course. THe dragonslayer said he would do it in the morgan and the barmaid backed him up when the patrons all said there were hours of light left to the day. That night the false dragonslayer tried to sneak out of the inn, but was interrupted by someone claiming the dragon had just struck. They all tried to once again get him to go out that night, but he refused and in the morning found his fake Dragonlance gone with the kender. The barmaid insisted ion going with him to find the kender and kill the dragon. As they searched they split up with storm clouds gathering. The dragonslayer found the kender who was making a cage and they heard a scream as they ran toward it, they saw the dragon resting in mud with a claw holding the barmaid down. As lightning flashed, the dragon got up and flew away, with the lightning reflecting off its copper scales. They returned to the inn with the dragon gone, the barmaid and dragonslayer married and took over the inn, and the kender told tales of how he slayed the dragon, with help, every night. It wa sa fun story, about the copper dragon, but I almost would rather have the Dragonslayer be outed, then make a deal with the copper dragon, thereby seeming to be a hero. But it was a fun story none-the-less. Inventory by Jean Rabe Gaspar, Hylar Dwarf Skarn Ironskyll, Niedar Dwarf A red dragon had snatched two dwarves from a mountain and brought them to her hoard. She had taken the hoard from a dead dragon and wanted it inventoried in context with a black dragon. The dwarves worked day and night cataloging the items, terrified of the red dragon, then one day a dwarf brought a magical mirror to the red and it vanished inside of it. The dwarves filled their pockets with as much treasure as they could carry and left to go to their respective town, when they were snatched up again by the black dragon the red was competing with. He thought they were random dwarves as he was scouring the trail the red had found them on. It was a fun little tale about dragons wanting to know exactly what is in their hoard, and its funny to consider they compete with literal lists of items between each other. I enjoyed the tale. Special Delivery by Jeff Grubb Edgar nunce Manifew, Gnome Raeja of the Crimson Sails, Minotaur Pirate Lord Toede What a great story! We get Lord Toede back, and he is in fact alive post War of Souls. The city of Flotsam has turned into a pirate town, led and controlled by Raeja, a minotaur, at the supposed behest of Lord Toede. The tax collector Edgar has learned of Gnomes who want to deliver music boxes to the town, but he knows the town wouldn't want any loud bangs and explosions that are customary with Gnome inventions, so he goes to investigate the goods himself. He discovers they actually work and are quite lovely, so he brings the gnome and his machines to the council, and Toede allows him entry to deliver goods, but Raeja speaks out against it. He demands the gnomes stay over a hundred feet away from the town at all times, except for deliveries, and Toede agrees, so do the gnomes. So when the first shipment comes, it’s pushed down the hill and crashes into the gates, destroying them, followed by many more wagons full of music devices, which all crash in turn. The gnomes are ordered to not use the gates anymore and to keep away from town, so they begin to catapult the deliveries. This infuriates Raeja who goes to collect a militia to eradicate the gnomes, but Edgar asks Toede if he can warn the gnomes. Toede agrees, and when he arrives at their quarry, they seem elated that the minotaurs and pirates are gathering to confront them, he brings Edgar into the town house,which itself catapults up into the air over flotsam where they drop more deliveries onto the minotaur and pirates heads, then crashes into the hillside. They all leave and it turns out Toede was tired of the pirates and used the gnomes to get rid of them. That toede is one sneaky hobgoblin, even in his advanced age. Marine Skies by Lucien Soulban Brysis, Female Dargonesti elf Veloxua, Female Dargonesti elf Quayseen, Male Dargonesti elf Minnow-Tyrant, Dolphin The World Gash This was another great underwater story. It featured three Dargonesti sea elves as they explore and map the deadly Desolation waters. Something is poisoning the corals, killing them, forcing sea life to abandon the area and sharks to move in searching for remnant food sources. They narrowly escape one shark and continue mapping the sea floor on their dolphin scout, Minnow-Tyrant's back. They discover a more salty portion of water in an area known as the World Gash, where the sea floor has dropped out of sight. They go to explore it only to discover it has a cloud of acidic water poisoning the area that they have to swim through. On the other side, they soon witness a volcanic eruption and even more of the sea floor above them crumbles, trapping one of them below, while the other two swim up to freedom. They need to report back to Watermere and Istar to warn the other sea elves of the rapid changes their sea is experiencing, and how it will affect all life underwater. I really love how the sea is another world altogether, but it is affected just as the surface is by the Dragon Overlords, or their sudden absence as in the post War of Souls era. Let's hope we get more of these wonderful stories in the future. Wyrm's Claw inn by Miranda Horner Tam Ceary, council member Argus Thornton, innkeep Elthan, cleric of kiri-jolith Brell, housekeeper Radley This was an unexpected tale. Tam Ceary ordered an exorcism for the inn owned by Argus Thornton. This closed the inn for a while, though Argus believes it was less about the mild nuisance of the ghost that did haunt the inn than the tab he demanded Tam to pay. When the cleric arrived they heard commotion in the kitchen to discover Tam near death with weapons sticking out of him. His wife was tired of his drinking and hitting her afterward, so it appeared she finished him before he could finish her. Then they hear a commotion upstairs. There were two ghosts now that were messing in the master’s room, yelling get out. The new housekeeper, Brell, pulled a ring off a necklace, claiming it was a wish ring and wished the ghosts to leave. Suddenly all was quiet, but that was enough for the innkeeper. He and the cleric left, leaving Brell with the inn. Then it was revealed that the ring was her wedding ring, and the two ghosts were her husband and daughter. She had gone after the dark knights that killed them, and killed them. Then returned to claim her old home. It was a great story that makes me want to run yet another one shot about a haunting. Coin of Adament by Kevin T. Stein Brek, Scout Wulfbunde, black wolf Bundesphar, wolf soldiers Captain Arana, scout, follows white lady Canus Another one of the Wulfbunde and Bundesphar stories. These disciples of the Dark Queen are created by Canus, who never explains who it is. But the other Bundesphar have started following Mishakal in the post War of Souls era as Takhisis is dead, but Brek and his wulfbunde refuse. They chase a chaos demon only to be nearly destroyed by it, and Mishakal shows up herself to offer them help. Instead they pick themselves up and wander away. Then Mishakal says that ‘Krynn's secrets are coming to destroy us, and they need the bundesphar. Is this in reference to the remnant Chaos minions, Mina, or some other threat that was never explored? We will never really know, but I am glad this set of stories is done. I like the premise of a wolf bound pair, but it needs to be fleshed out more, and extrapolated on to make complete sense. The Box by Paul B. Thompson Dunnar Bolly Agaran Umram the Chiseler Hundel, dwarf Zetan Sleeps W Well, I did not expect this. The story begins as an old man and his dog are leading a wagon through a town, when three thieves catch sight of him. They help him past a rut in the road then stalk him as he goes into the tavern. They look at his cart which has a sealed box in the back. THey try to pick it only to reveal a led-filled lock. They go into the tavern, and two of the thieves go to get horses so they can follow this man and his cart and rob him of it. They are certain it contains something valuable. They catch up to the man, stab him and take the box. They go into the wilderness and break it open to find another box, with no means of opening it. They deliver it to a fence who eventually builds a bonfire to melt its forged hinges, and the side reveals a phrase ‘Zetan sleeps within'. They leave the fire till morning when they return to it open and the smith dead. Soon men start going missing or are found dead and the thieves realize the box contained an egg that must have hatched. Now a dragonling was running around killing the keep’s residents. THe fence locks the thieves in the tower as the dragonling slowly stalks, then kills everyone. It leaves the thieves for last. When the deed was done the old man and his dog rode through the keep, explaining to the reader that they are curated to distribute a dragon’s young in this manner for trying to steal its treasure. This is their punishment. The story does a great job of setting up the horror of being stalked and hearing death all around you, it was really great. The Albino by Douglas Niles Dagger, Diamond, Albino,  This was an interesting first person narrated story about a black dragon during the dragon purge. She found a secret lair in a volcano and was raising her brood there. One of her hatchlings was a n albino and it was quickly shunned and brutalized by everyone. It took to crafting blocks of stone with its acid breath alone. One day it snuck off and the mother went after it. It was near a random Knight of the Rose when the mother caught it, killed the knight and his horses and punished the albino.This behavior would repeat regularly, and one day she went after the albino as it tried to fly. It was seen by a great red dragon that was going after it, and the mother hid and ambushed the bigger red. It was a difficult fight, but the mother black won, and once again, punished the albino. When they were all healed, it took all the brood to test flying and the albino took off into the sky. The mother gave chase and Malystryx flew out of the clouds after the mother. She fled as best she could but Malys found her wyrmlings and killed them all, then came after her again. She went into an underwater cavern she knew of and once inside, fighting for aid, she got to the end to find it blocked by square blocks her albino was forging. There the story ended, with her suffocating and ambushed by the very wyrmling she took care of. This is a great way of showcasing how brutalising children leads to brutal children. It made me think of the film The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin. This was a really good anthology of stories, while they are not all gold, they are really good, and much better than the preceding anthology in my opinion. If you are a fan of dragons, or dragonlance, you should read this anthology.

In this sermon we consider Paul’s exhortation that each one be fully convinced in his own mind as we wrestle through disputed matters. As much as this was a problem in the early church, we know that it is still something we must watch today. It is easier to lost sight of the weightier matter of loving one another and welcoming one another as the Lord has welcomed us, instead of quarrelling and demanding our way.

**Contains story of a young male suicide**Out of the devastation of the English Civil Wars, a radical new religious movement was born. The early Quakers, led by fiery and charismatic preachers, believed they had been chosen by God to save souls and purify a corrupt world. But the origins of Quakerism were far darker and more complex than the peaceful faith we know today. Convinced of divine purpose, Quakers performed failed miracles, disrupted services, defied the law, and faced imprisonment, all in pursuit of what they saw as God's truth.Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Erica Canela to uncover how religious zeal, fear, and desperation drove ordinary men and women to extraordinary, and sometimes terrifying, acts.MOREVoices of Thunder: Radical Women of the 17th CenturyListen on AppleListen on SpotifyHeretic or Martyr?

Claire grew up in a multi-faith household that often looked beyond traditional beliefs for solutions. At 17, everything changed when her mother discovered that Claire was speaking to “dead people.” Convinced it was ungodly, her mother turned to both a medium and her charismatic Christian sect for guidance, asking priests to intervene so that Waswa, Claire's twin brother who had died at birth, would no longer appear. Soon after, the dreams that had been Claire's source of comfort vanished, leaving her lonely and confused. Searching for help, Claire eventually encountered a spiritual teacher who introduced her to a path blending African spiritualism and Christianity. Through this, she began to find her voice and discovered others with similar experiences. She is now feeling less alone in her new spiritual community.

In this video, I share the story of my father's final days, the lessons he passed on, and how those lessons pushed me to retire earlier than planned and build a very different life in this next chapter. My dad struggled with alcoholism, but he also gave me three core principles that shaped everything: work hard, play hard, and help people who are less fortunate. Those words guided my entire career, and they guided me again when it became clear that staying in a job I no longer loved was not how I wanted to spend the rest of my life. You will hear how I made the decision to leave work behind, how I brought those three principles into my retirement years, and why purpose, love, and connection matter more now than ever. I also talk about what my father never received from his own parents, how that shaped him, and how it shaped the way I try to show up for my kids and for the people I love. If you are thinking about retiring early, if you lost a parent young, or if you are wrestling with the messages you inherited from your family about work, success, and duty, this video will give you perspective and a clear way forward.

Cotard's delusion, also known as Cotard's syndrome, is an extremely rare condition where the patient believes that they are actually dead. For the bestselling author Esmé Weijun Wang, Cotard's came along after she had already been traveling a difficult road that involved schizoaffective disorder along with a host of other mental health issues. While experiencing Cotard's, Esmé urgently told her husband that he was dead too and so was their dog. She believed, was certain, that the life she was experiencing was kind of a simulation where she had to prove herself worthy of a second chance and not an eternity in Hell. We also hear about the shocking way Yale handled Esmé's mental health and about the trauma very early in childhood that she thinks led to the complex PTSD that fueled a lot of her mental health challenges.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in his book The Great Divorce “Grumbling is the death of love.”~Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992), German-American actress “Bless you, prison! Bless you for being in my life. For there I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity, as we are used to thinking, but the soul's work.”~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2007), Russian writer of his time in a Soviet gulag “Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.”~Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808-1890), French critic and novelist “Let us be ashamed of our slowness in thanking God when He gives, and of our quickness in grumbling at Him when He takes away.”~Nikolaj Velimirovic (1880-1956), Servian Orthodox prelate, imprisoned by the Nazis “Let me clear up something...God is not against you having things. He's against things having you.”~Voddie Baucham (1969-2025), pastor and writer “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.”~John Henry Jowett (1863-1923), British minister and preacher “What the Lord wants is that you shall go about the business to which He sets you, not asking for an easy post, nor grumbling at a hard one.”~Catherine Booth (1829-1890), co-founder of The Salvation Army “Thankfulness is a flower which will never bloom well except upon a root of deep humility.”~J.C. Ryle (1816-1900), Anglican bishop of Liverpool “Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacherSERMON PASSAGEPhilippians 2:12-18 (ESV)Philippians 2 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. Philippians 1 12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. 27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.

A strategic acquirer is a company buying to advance its own roadmap, distribution, or capabilities—unlike financial buyers (private equity, family offices) who buy primarily for cash flow. To a strategic, value may sit in what you've built, not what you've earned.  Chris Hutchins' story makes the point. He co-founded Milk, acquired by Google, and later founded Grove, acquired by Wealthfront. Both saw assets they could plug in—product, team, IP—even when revenue and EBITDA weren't impressive.  If you want a strategic acquirer to pay for what you've built rather than how much money you make, this episode of Built to Sell Radio is for you. You'll discover how to:  • Define and prioritize the assets a strategic may value now (team, product, customer list, roadmap, even your lease) • Reframe your pitch so a distribution-rich buyer may see an immediate lift from your assets • Run a fast, momentum-led process that invites quick noes and surfaces real interest • Split assets across buyers when it improves the overall outcome • Protect employees and customers while you move quickly toward a decision  If a strategic exit is on your radar, this playbook helps you create options when EBITDA won't carry the deal.

In 2005, Channel 4 and Endemol staged the most ambitious TV hoax in British history, tricking contestants into believing they had been launched into orbit. Hosted by Johnny Vaughan, the show combined fake cosmonaut training, a shuttle simulator, and an elaborate Ipswich “Russian base” to sell the illusion. Nearly twenty years later, we unpack how Space Cadets blurred entertainment and deception, why it remains reality TV's strangest moment, and how contestants truly believed they were in space.

Lane Kiffin is the hottest name in what is already one of the wildest coaching carousels in college football history. But Tony ‘Mr. College Football' Barnhart wouldn't be surprised to see Kiffin stick around at Ole Miss. Kiffin, the fastest Ole Miss coach to 50 wins in history, is a leading candidate for openings at both Florida and LSU. Sources indicate Florida is far and away the biggest threat of the two. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is the betting favorite for the Florida job, according to Bet Online. Tulane's Jon Sumrall is the betting favorite for LSU.However, Barnhart told Ole Miss Spirit contributor Brad Logan that Kiffin's decision may be tougher than most realize given the unique situation he's built in Oxford.No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) hosts South Carolina (3-5, 1-5) Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN. Kiffin isn't the only coach in the game dealing with silly-season rumors.Logan is also joined by Grayson Weir of BroBile to talk all things Ole Miss and SEC football.Our Sponsors:* Check out Underdog Fantasy and use my code CHAMPIONS for a great deal: https://underdogfantasy.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It began with an unsettling presence in the upstairs bathroom. Every time the storyteller showered, she sensed a young girl with long black hair clutching a knife silently standing beside the tub. The girl never moved, only appeared when the storyteller's eyes were closed — a vision so vivid she showered with the curtain half-open, terrified to turn her back. The entire house carried a heavy, anxious energy. Footsteps pounded up and down the stairs at night. Shadows darted across doorways and stood in the open closet. An old man's apparition was often seen leaning over her baby brother's crib, waking him with terrified screams. The most unforgettable encounter happened one afternoon while sitting at the family computer: a female voice drifted from the stairs asking, “Are you dead yet?” Convinced she was alone, she grabbed her things and fled outside, sobbing as she called her mother. Decades later, the memories remain: the haunted bathroom, the voices, the faceless figures in the hall. Was it the land, the house itself, or something tied to her family's troubled past? #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #SouthCarolinaHaunting #KnifeHoldingGhost #AreYouDeadYet #CreepyVoices #RealParanormalStory #HauntedBathroom #GhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalExperience Love real ghost stories?

On a cold December evening in Surrey, England, two separate callers reported the same terrifying sight: headlights swerving off the busy A3 road and disappearing into the trees. Convinced they'd just witnessed a crash, police raced to the scene — but the road was empty, the barriers intact, and no fresh tire marks scarred the embankment. Still, the officers pressed on. Venturing deep into the undergrowth, they uncovered a nightmare: a badly wrecked car, hidden from view and overgrown by brush. The vehicle's battery was long dead, its headlights impossible to ignite. And nearby, they made a darker discovery — the decomposed skeletal remains of a man. The car belonged to a Londoner reported missing nearly a year earlier, in July of 2002. Dental records confirmed the bones were his. Pathologists estimated he'd been dead for months, killed in what looked like a crash no one had ever seen… until that December night. But how could members of the public report headlights veering off the road that very evening, when the man and his vehicle had been lost for almost a year? Did they witness a ghostly replay — a spectral “residual haunting” of the fatal crash, replaying itself to demand discovery? Or was it a strange twist of fate, coincidence aligning the living with the dead? #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedUK #GhostlyReplay #PhantomCrash #PoliceMystery #CreepyStories #UnsolvedMystery #GhostStoriesOnline #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?
