Real people describe seeing family members in two places at once — and in every case, the double refused to speak, refused to answer, and then simply vanished. These are their stories. #WDRadio MARCH 15, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Violence, mayhem, even rape. Horrifying atrocities committed by the most evil of human beings – but in one case, in Culver City, California, it wasn't a man who engaged in these obscenities, but specters of the paranormal. (A Famous Case of Frightening Entities) *** We'll delve into a handful of out-of-body experience stories directly from those who lived through them – and they might change your opinion about the afterlife. (Surviving Out of Body Experiences) *** We'll look at true encounters from Redditors who claim to have come across doppelgangers – their exact duplicates, or duplicates of those they love – and it's almost always a disturbing experience. (Creepy Encounters With Real Doppelgangers)==========HOUR TWO: There are roads on Long Island that are much more than a line between two points. Some roads contain legends that travel with you on your journey. (Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Road) *** In 1981, a cabin in the woods played host to a brutal family murder. We'll look into the still unsolved murders of the Keddie killings. (The Unsolved Keddie Killings) *** Sightings of strange, pale creatures are being reported in California – and now over two decades from the first sighting, we still don't know what the Fresno Nightcrawlers truly are. (Freaky Reports of Pale Crawlers)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: During the grueling Great Northern Expedition, naturalist Georg Wilhem Steller came face-to-face with one of the sea's most mysterious creatures. Or did he? (Steller's Sea Ape) *** Weirdo family member Jamie Tyroler shares what happened to her and a few friends when they rummaged through a demolished building, only to find something still existing there. (The Ninth Street Entity) *** Weirdo family member Daniel Hagan shares how he once explored some woods on his bike and ended up pedaling for his life to escape paranormal beasts that appeared from nowhere. (Demon Dogs) *** Digging in their backyard, two brothers find what appear to be small human heads carved of stone… but the curious find turns creepy once they bring the heads into the house, resurrecting sightings of a wolf-like creature not seen in almost seventy years. (Hexam Heads and the Wolf of Allendale) *** In 1886 Chicago, one of the nation's very first serial killers would build a sadistic chamber of horrors to live out his most demented fantasies. (Murder Castle of Chicago)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“Freaky Reports of Pale Crawlers” by Brent Swancer: http://bit.ly/2O9fG6C“Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Road” by Arthur Criscione: http://bit.ly/2LXUr4K“The Unsolved Keddie Killings” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/2LYC8fK“Steller's Sea Ape” by Andrew Thaler: http://bit.ly/2XMpxDM“The Ninth Street Entity” by Weirdo Family member Jamie Tyroler“Creepy Encounters With Real Doppelgangers” by Nathan Gibson: http://bit.ly/2YkPTwL“Demon Dogs” by Daniel Hagan, submitted at https://WeirdDarkness.com/submit“Surviving Out of Body Experiences” by Audrey Webster: http://bit.ly/2M3bMKx““A Famous Case of Frightening Entities” by Brent Swancer: http://bit.ly/2M3YGg3“Hexam Heads and the Wolf of Allendale” by Neil Boothman: http://bit.ly/2Kut2Fn and http://bit.ly/2Kiufk0“Murder Castle of Chicago” by Brent Swancer (link no longer available)==========(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Link to Audio version “The Bat” is a short horror monologue recorded by Bela Lugosi, built around his spoken persona rather than a conventional plot. In it he addresses the listener directly and describes the bat as a creature of night and hush, a watcher at windows and eaves, half in the natural world and half in something older and less defined. The piece is more mood than story: a sequence of images about darkness, wings, and unease, letting pauses and emphases do most of the work.  After arriving in the United States as a stateless immigrant in 1920, Lugosi struggled with the English language, often memorising his lines phonetically. His big break came in 1927 when he was cast as the lead in the Broadway production of Dracula. His performance was so magnetic that Universal Pictures cast him in the 1931 film adaptation. Lugosi's portrayal—characterised by his slow, melodic Hungarian accent, intense gaze, and formal evening wear—transformed the vampire from a finished, rat-like monster into a seductive, sophisticated villain. This performance became the template for every vampire depiction that followed. While Dracula made him a superstar, it also trapped him. Lugosi found it nearly impossible to land roles outside of the horror genre. The Rivalry: He was frequently paired with Boris Karloff (who played Frankenstein's monster), though Karloff often received higher billing and better pay, which reportedly frustrated Lugosi. The Roles: He gave notable performances in White Zombie (1932), The Black Cat (1934), and as the broken-necked Ygor in Son of Frankenstein (1939). Health Struggles: Chronic sciatica led to a severe dependency on painkillers. As his health declined and his "classic" style of horror fell out of fashion, he found himself relegated to low-budget "B-movies." In the 1950s, Lugosi experienced a strange career coda through his friendship with cult director Ed Wood. He appeared in films now famous for being "so bad they're good," such as Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space (released posthumously). Lugosi passed away in 1956 at the age of 73. In a final tribute to the role that defined him, he was buried in his full Dracula cape at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. Despite his difficult later years, he remains one of the most recognisable and influential icons in cinema history.

Last week, millions of people watched one of our own stand behind a podium on Jeopardy! — and win. Toronto lawyer James Hirsh, co-host of The CJN's long-running Menschwarmers podcast, became the latest Canadian contestant to compete and succeed on the iconic American game show. Hirsh says it was “the thrill of a lifetime” to be selected, to fly down to the Alex Trebek studio at Sony Pictures in Culver City, near Hollywood, where he taped several episodes of Jeopardy! It all happened about three weeks ago, but he's had to keep quiet about how he fared. Until now, as the episodes started airing this week on millions of television screens across North America. Hirsh had decades of practice to prepare for his small-screen debut: as a teenager, he was reigning champion at his summer camp's version of the game show, over four seasons. The prize money back then was enough to buy some beers. This time, his actual Jeopardy! winnings will help the father-of-three pay off his family's mortgage. He also won a custom Jeopardy! hat and a tote bag, but he says the best prize is a coveted tagline to his bio: he can now say “I was on Jeopardy!” On today's rebroadcast of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner chats with James Hirsh about what it was like under the bright lights, what questions stumped him and how he regrets wearing the wrong shoes.

What happens when a university mascot gets more than just a costume upgrade? In this episode of Talking Tactics, we unpack how a strategic mascot rebrand can fuel enrollment marketing, drive retail revenue, and build real campus tradition. From trademark governance to ESPN-level exposure, this isn't fluff — it's brand strategy with fur. If you think mascots are just for game day, think again. Guest Names:  Megan Nash Milligan, Brand Marketing Strategist, Loyola Marymount University  Stephanie Teresi, Associate Director, Trademarks, Licensing, and Promotional Assets, Loyola Marymount University Guest Socials:  Megan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-nash-milligan/ Stephanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/snwert/ Guest Bios: Megan Nash Milligan is the Brand Marketing Strategist at LMU, where she leads integrated marketing planning and cross-functional rollout of key brand initiatives. A proud LMU alum, she earned her M.A. in Educational Studies while competing as a beach volleyball student-athlete & leading the team to their first conference championship. Before returning to LMU, Megan managed marketing and operations in the real estate industry, overseeing full-scale campaigns and a company rebrand. Originally from Toronto, Megan now calls Los Angeles home—where she tries new food across the city, plays beach volleyball, and spends too much time with her two dogs! Steph Teresi runs LMU's trademark licensing game—protecting, promoting, and powering up the university brand across merch, apparel, and swag. As LMU's first full-time licensing lead, she's built policies and partnerships with the goal to boost LMU pride and make our gear easier to find (and love). Pre-LMU, Steph repped over 100 East Coast schools at Campus Stop and designed store displays at Anthropologie. A proud University of Delaware grad with a BFA in visual communications (go Blue Hens!), she now calls Culver City home—where she cheers on the Eagles, spoils two bernedoodles, and paints watercolor masterpieces at the kitchen table. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Safaniya Stevensonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Talking Tactics is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Earlier this week, millions of people watched one of our own stand behind a podium on "Jeopardy!" — and win. Toronto lawyer James Hirsh, co-host of The CJN's long-running "Menschwarmers" podcast, became the latest Canadian contestant to compete and succeed on the iconic American game show. He's got three wins now and will keep going next week. Hirsh says it was "the thrill of a lifetime" to be selected, to fly down to the Alex Trebek studio at Sony Pictures in Culver City, near Hollywood, where he taped several episodes of Jeopardy. It all happened about three weeks ago, but he's had to keep quiet about how he fared. Until now, as the episodes began to air this week on millions of television screens across North America.

Catholics trace their cemetery history all the way back to the first disciple being buried. They chose to bury their lost close to their churches in anticipation of the resurrection of believers. These early churchyards were referred to as "dormitories" of rest. Catholic cemeteries were open for burial to only Catholics and since they were considered consecrated ground, Catholics who didn't meet the mark couldn't be buried in them, like criminals. Holy ​Cross ​Cemetery ​is located ​in ​Culver ​City, ​California and there are many celebrities who made this their final place of rest from Bing Crosby to Rita Hayworth to Bela Lugosi to John Candy and Catherine O'Hara.

Ende 2014 in Culver City bei Los Angeles. Die Mitarbeiter von Sony Pictures Entertainment - einem der großen Filmstudios der Traumfabrik Hollywood - stehen vor einem Problem: keine Zugangs-Karte, kein Drucker, kein Computer funktioniert mehr. Ein Großteil der Server ist lahmgelegt. Stattdessen findet sich nur eine kryptische Nachricht auf den Bildschirmen, die sie sich nicht erklären können. Erst nach und nach wird deutlich, in welchem Albtraum sich die Mitarbeiter und der gesamte Konzern befinden – und warum sie Ziel eines der größten Hacks der Geschichte geworden sind. Die mutmaßlichen Drahtzieher ist ein Land, das damals sehr wenige auf dem Schirm hatten, das aber spätestens seit dem Jahr 2014 auf dem Radar der Geheimdienste vieler Länder steht: Nordkorea. Wie kann es sein, dass ein Staat, dessen Bevölkerung kaum Zugang zum Internet hat, eine Cyber-Großmacht geworden ist? Welche Ziele hat Nordkorea? Und warum greift es nicht nur Filmstudios, sondern auch Banken und Krypto-Plätze an? Wenn ihr mehr darüber erfahren wollt, welche Geheimdienste es in Nordkorea gibt und wie weit sie gehen, dann hört die begleitende Hintergrundfolge „Wie gefährlich sind Nordkoreas Geheimdienste?” „Dark Matters – Geheimnisse der Geheimdienste“ erzählt die Geschichte einer Hackergruppe, die geduldig, clever und skrupellos vorgeht und sich dabei immer wieder neu erfinden muss. Aber auch die Gegner rüsten auf und wehren sich. Und das ist „Dark Matters”: Eva-Maria Lemke öffnet im Podcast die Tür zu einer Welt, die eigentlich im Verborgenen bleiben soll – Woche für Woche mit einer neuen Geschichte, die zeigt, wie Nachrichtendienste arbeiten. In der vierten Staffel geht es um eine neue Zeit, in der alte Fragen von Krieg und Frieden, von Verbündeten und Feinden nicht mehr eindeutig zu beantworten sind. Wie stellen sich Staaten, Dienste und Agenten darauf ein? Die ARD-Geheimdienstexperten Michael Götschenberg und Holger Schmidt geben Antworten. Eine neue Folge „Dark Matters – Geheimnisse der Geheimdienste” gibt es mittwochs – immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek. Und noch ein Tipp zum Weiterhören: „Tod nach der Disco – Der Eiskeller-Fall“ heißt die neue Folge von ARD Crime Time. In diesem Fall aus Aschau im bayerischen Chiemgau wird ein junger Mann zunächst wegen Mordes verurteilt, aber Jahre später wieder freigelassen und für unschuldig erklärt. ARD Crime Time rekonstruiert die Ermittlungen und Gerichtsprozesse und es geht um das, was bleibt nach dem endgültigen Urteil Ende 2025. Den Podcast gibt es werbefrei in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/eiskeller

Mayor Karen Bass is in the literal hotseat. The fire after-action report is out, and she whitewashed it, altering and softening the report in a bid to suggest everything was under control during the disastrous LA wildfires of January 2025. She’s now denied the media’s access to her and the fire chief in a bid to control the narrative. The Monks & Merrill Show hits airwaves next week! How long do your hangovers last? Do you lose a day like so many of us? Merrill likes to go home and have what he calls a jigger, which usually involves a single malt of whisky. You think you’re living in a town that’s safe, but not if that town is... Culver City. Attorney General Pam Bondi thinks it’s one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in LA. Spoiler: It’s not. Listener Talkbacks largely disagree with AG Bondi’s summation of Culver City as dangerous. What’s with the darkness spreading in LA? Apparently organized crime is behind the streetlights being stripped of copper wire, so we’re getting a taskforce to speed up repairs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are happy to welcome back Jaime Porras for this episode! Jaime Porras is the District Vice President for Fusion Academy, overseeing nine campuses across Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. With more than two decades in education (including fourteen years at Fusion), he has held roles from teacher to Head of School and is passionate about fostering student-centered, relationship-driven learning environments. He holds an MA in Education with a focus on Social Justice from Antioch University Los Angeles and a BA in English from Ohio State University. A proud Buckeye and Culver City resident, Jaime enjoys sports, travel, literature, and discovering the best tacos in L.A., where he lives with his wife and daughter. Jaime joins us for this episode to discuss how the 1:1 learning model at Fusion Academy has become increasingly important in recent years as students have faced growing challenges with anxiety and depression, and disengagement. He explains that the pandemic drastically worsened many students' struggles with executive functioning and social anxiety but how, in a 1:1 setting, Fusion is able to provide a safe, supportive space where students can rebuild their confidence and reconnect with learning. By removing the pressure and comparison of a traditional classroom, students feel safer to take risks, make mistakes, and grow. Jaime highlights the importance of building a strong mentor-student relationship in which the teacher can truly understand and cater to each individual's unique needs, interests, and learning style, a personalized approach that also helps address issues around executive functioning, as Fusion teachers break down assignments into manageable steps while also explicitly modeling positive behaviors and social-emotional skills. Jaime notes that the 1:1 environment allows students the space to process feelings of failure in a healthy way without judgment from their peers. At the same time, Fusion works to build a sense of community and belonging via shared social spaces and activities, although the focus remains on creating an environment customized for each student's needs. Jaime believes that this model will only become more important in the years ahead as schools grapple with the lasting impacts of the pandemic on student mental health and engagement. Our conversation highlights how the 1:1 approach at Fusion Academy empowers students to rebuild their confidence and reconnect with their strengths even in the face of significant challenges. As the education landscape continues to evolve, this model may serve as an important blueprint for supporting the diverse needs of today's learners! Show Notes: [2:27] - Jaime describes how post-pandemic isolation worsened student anxiety and depression while boosting demand for 1:1 learning.

[19:41] - Fusion removes traditional school obstacles, focusing on individualized support without judgment. [22:37] - 1:1 learning suits kids who need safety, personalization, and emotional comfort. [23:08] - Jaime highlights Fusion's flexibility to adjust instantly for each student's needs. [25:21] - Jaime compares Fusion's structure to private lessons that separate focused learning from broader social experiences. [27:46] - Small-group environments let students more easily build real friendships and resolve conflicts. [29:48] - Jaime criticizes traditional schools for pressuring kids into activities that adults rarely pursue. [31:53] - Hear Jaime share a student's gradual growth from isolation to leadership, proving that patience and personalization can lead to confidence.

SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1]  Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd.  In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts.  He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads.  In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy. In 1996, he wrote the book SCTV: Behind the Scenes (McClelland & Stewart, publishers). From 1999–2002, he voiced various roles on the animated series Mission Hill. Thomas co-starred in the Paramount feature Rat Race. As of 2001, Thomas has been the Executive Creative Director of Animax Entertainment, an animation studio based officially in Culver City, California. In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4]  Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes.  In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5]  In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7]  In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters.  Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8]  In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.

For Tim Cummings, growing up with a brother who lived with epilepsy often felt like there was a mysterious presence in their shared childhood room. Seizures would often affect his brother Matthew in the middle of the night, a terrifying experience for young Tim to witness. It felt like there was a doorway or a portal opening, connecting Matthew to an unseen realm. This feeling would haunt Tim well into adulthood, particularly after the tragic loss of his brother when Tim was 24. After 40 years as a professional actor, Tim knew he had his own stories to tell. He went back to school, getting his masters in writing, and recently released a new novel inspired by his childhood experiences with Matthew. In The Lightening People Play, fourteen-year-old Kirby writes and produces a play to raise money for a seizure-alert dog for his younger brother Baxter. This production opens a portal through which mysterious figures and symbols appear. This story allows Tim to reckon with his past, immortalizing his brother while allowing for a more uplifting end to his brother's story. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Tim recounts the personal history that inspired his new novel, reflecting on how his brother's epilepsy impacted their lives. We discuss the creation of The Lightening People Play and the ways in which chronic illness can affect not only the lives of those living through health challenges, but the lives of their loved ones. Learn more about The Lightening People Play on Tim's website: https://www.timcummings.ink/ Join Tim for an event on 10/26 at The Village Well in Culver City with two stars from the TV show GRIMM, called Spooky Magic in Storytelling.

Security cameras have captured footage of pale, stilt-legged beings moving through the darkness — creatures so bizarre that even experts can't explain what they are.==========HOUR ONE: There are roads on Long Island that are much more than a line between two points. Some roads contain legends that travel with you on your journey. (Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Road) *** In 1981, a cabin in the woods played host to a brutal family murder. We'll look into the still unsolved murders of the Keddie killings. (The Unsolved Keddie Killings) *** Sightings of strange, pale creatures are being reported in California – and now over two decades from the first sighting, we still don't know what the Fresno Nightcrawlers truly are. (Freaky Reports of Pale Crawlers)==========HOUR TWO: Violence, mayhem, even rape. Horrifying atrocities committed by the most evil of human beings – but in one case, in Culver City, California, it wasn't a man who engaged in these obscenities, but specters of the paranormal. (A Famous Case of Frightening Entities) *** We'll delve into a handful of out-of-body experience stories directly from those who lived through them – and they might change your opinion about the afterlife. (Surviving Out of Body Experiences) *** We'll look at true encounters from Redditors who claim to have come across doppelgangers – their exact duplicates, or duplicates of those they love – and it's almost always a disturbing experience. (Creepy Encounters With Real Doppelgangers)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: During the grueling Great Northern Expedition, naturalist Georg Wilhem Steller came face-to-face with one of the sea's most mysterious creatures. Or did he? (Steller's Sea Ape) *** Weirdo family member Jamie Tyroler shares what happened to her and a few friends when they rummaged through a demolished building, only to find something still existing there. (The Ninth Street Entity) *** Weirdo family member Daniel Hagan shares how he once explored some woods on his bike and ended up pedaling for his life to escape paranormal beasts that appeared from nowhere. (Demon Dogs) *** Digging in their backyard, two brothers find what appear to be small human heads carved of stone… but the curious find turns creepy once they bring the heads into the house, resurrecting sightings of a wolf-like creature not seen in almost seventy years. (Hexam Heads and the Wolf of Allendale) *** In 1886 Chicago, one of the nation's very first serial killers would build a sadistic chamber of horrors to live out his most demented fantasies.
