He begins by celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the enduring call for peace found in the Gospel of Luke, setting the tone for a morning of remembrance and reflection. The episode revisits the Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I, when tens of thousands of British and German soldiers laid down their weapons, crossed no man's land, sang carols, shared food, cut each other's hair, and even played soccer. Bryan recounts firsthand accounts from soldiers who witnessed this spontaneous peace, as well as the outrage of generals who later ordered the fighting to resume. Bryan then shares a lesser-known but deeply moving story from Christmas Eve 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. In a small cabin in the Hürtgen Forest, a German mother sheltered wounded American soldiers and later welcomed lost German troops, insisting on peace, prayer, and compassion inside her home. Decades later, her son's search for the Americans she saved leads to a reunion that confirms her courage preserved life and left a lasting legacy of goodwill. The episode closes with a reminder that even amid war, humanity, faith, and moral courage can still shine, offering listeners a powerful reflection on what Christmas truly means.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32     Keywords: Christmas Day episode, Wright Report Christmas, Christmas Truce 1914, World War I Christmas, World War II Christmas Eve 1944, Battle of the Bulge, Hürtgen Forest cabin, goodwill toward men, faith and history, Bryan Dean Wright Christmas message

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard that bit about how men's sexual value increases over time, while women's sexual value decreases over time. That's indeed a cynical trope, but how much truth is there to it? For sure, a 25-year-old guy is less likely to find a 55-year-old woman attractive, but is "sexual value" that simple? How is it that couples can remain happy and apparently in love for half a century, or more? Is it all just a ruse for the sake of "keeping up appearances"? Or could it be that attraction is still very real for them? What drives that kind of sustained attractiveness to each other for decades? Well, this brief episode contains all the answers...and the hard truth that goes along with it. Get in on the VAMANOS app and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

This week's guest, Brian Webster, shares how Christian Science helped him through a tumultuous time in his family, and how prayer healed their rifts.

Despite his deep and long-standing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, billionaire Les Wexner remains an almost untouchable figure in Columbus, Ohio—revered as a philanthropic titan and regional kingmaker. Wexner, the founder of L Brands and the man behind Victoria's Secret, has wielded enormous influence over the city's economic and cultural landscape for decades. From hospitals to art centers to Ohio State University, his name is etched into nearly every major institution, with donations totaling hundreds of millions. This civic dominance has insulated him from the level of scrutiny other Epstein-linked figures have received. In Columbus, Wexner is not just a businessman—he's a legacy, a power broker whose wealth and prestige have bought loyalty, silence, or both.But beneath the surface, that reverence is increasingly uncomfortable. Epstein once held power of attorney over Wexner's finances, lived in a Wexner-owned mansion, and was given an unusual level of control over Wexner's personal and professional affairs—facts that have raised serious questions about just how much Wexner knew and when. Yet in Columbus, public officials and institutional leaders rarely speak of it. The media coverage is polite, the criticism muted, and the donor gratitude eternal. It's as if the city made a conscious choice to separate Wexner the benefactor from Wexner the enabler, ignoring the fact that his empowerment of Epstein may have been a central piece of the larger abuse machinery. In any other city, he might be scrutinized. In Columbus, he's still the king.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.columbusmonthly.com/story/lifestyle/features/2022/10/25/what-jeffrey-epstein-scandal-means-to-columbus-and-les-wexner/69589703007/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A struggling writer's obsession with forbidden knowledge leads him to a discovery no human mind was meant to grasp. One reckless act opens a doorway to something vast, unseen, and utterly indifferent to human life. The Shambler From The Stars by Robert Bloch. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Haven't mentioned Rise lately, the all in one wellness drink and the only product I have ever found to get rid of diabetic neuropathy pain.

If it didn't work for me, I wouldn't recommend it. One scoop a day, with over 50 natural ingredients, helps me stay energized, focused, and pain free and when you are almost 67, like I am that isn't easy.

I want to talk about the next story on the podcast—not today's episode, but the one that follows.When this story was first published, readers flooded the magazine with letters of protest. They called the author cold. They called the story cruel. They argued it should never have been written the way it was.Decades later, that same story is considered a cornerstone of hard science fiction. It's taught, debated, and regularly included on lists of the most important science-fiction stories ever written.You don't want to miss this one.Robert Bloch returns today with a story that first appeared on page 368 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1935, The Shambler From The Stars by Robert Bloch.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A routine emergency mission becomes an unforgiving test of physics, law, and human conscience.

A preliminary American Heart Association (AHA) study linked long-term melatonin use to increased heart failure risk, but a closer analysis shows serious flaws, including lack of peer review and failure to account for confounding variables The study found melatonin users had 90% higher heart failure rates, but data mixed together prescription-only countries with over-the-counter markets, misclassifying many actual users as non-users Moreover, the study failed to account for insomnia severity, psychiatric conditions, other medications, and dosing details, making it impossible to determine if melatonin caused the observed outcomes Decades of peer-reviewed research demonstrates melatonin's cardioprotective effects, including reducing blood pressure, protecting heart tissue, and mitigating oxidative damage, contradicting the study's alarming headlines While supplementation is unlikely to pose serious risks, there are natural ways to optimize your melatonin production, such as getting morning sunlight exposure, keeping a consistent sleep schedule, limiting evening blue light, eating earlier, and practicing stress-reduction techniques

514-40 Years of Broken Trust to Safety & Celebration: A Christmas Miracle (Laura's Story) There is a kind of marriage pain that does not look dramatic.It's not an outward struggle.Just a quiet ache.A marriage that functions but does not feel alive. Laura lived in that space for decades. From the outside, her life looked good. Forty years of marriage. Seven children. A faithful husband. A stable home. A shared faith. Everything a good Christian marriage is supposed to be. And yet, beneath the surface, something was missing. Emotional Safety.Real connection.Being fully seen. For a long time, she told herself she had nothing to complain about. Her husband was faithful. He wasn't an alcoholic. He never abused her. He provided well for his family. But inside, Laura carried a question she barely allowed herself to ask: "Is this really all there is?" The Hidden Cycle That Brought Broken Trust Even with her husband's steadiness and Laura's determination to be grateful, there was a painful habit that entered their marriage early on that would consistently rear its ugly head. Her husband was addicted to porn. This was their cycle for many years:-Her husband would confess porn use.-There would be repentance and renewed effort.-Then, pressure would follow. Laura would put the blame on herself, thinking, "If I did better, this would not happen." She read tons and tons of books, trying to better herself.She kept respect for her husband.She pursued intimacy, knowing it was important to him. And still, the cycle kept returning. So, she did what many wives do–she minimized her pain.She told herself others had it worse. After all, he worked hard. He stayed. He was a good man. Why complain? But the heart does not heal simply because we silence it. And this belief that Laura had that it was on her was not only a lie… but it was heavy and destructive. Decades of "Just Okay" Laura kept carrying the weight of keeping the peace and enduring that vicious cycle of porn use. So, she poured herself lovingly into family life. She homeschooled their children.She kept their home while he went to work, the way they were taught to do. And yet, beneath the surface, she felt emotionally disconnected. Alongside that, she felt there was no safe place to process her pain.No one equipped to walk with her.Even when reaching out to a Christian counselor, it wasn't quite enough. So, she pushed her own pain down...for decades. But pain does not disappear because it is ignored.It simply goes underground.And it shows up as numbness, distance, or quiet resignation. Eventually, Laura realized something had to change. She could not continue living like this. She told her husband he needed help for his porn addiction and that if he did not, they may need to consider divorce. Her husband obliged, and they tried counseling together, which helped some. But it wasn't until he entered the work privately through the Coaching program that something different happened. When Safety Was Introduced Into Her Marriage Though Laura didn't know he was taking a marriage course (He shared he was taking an online class), she started to notice a difference in the way he showed up to their marriage. He did not try to fix her or pressure her.He did not demand that she change. He began bringing home flowers, letting her know she was beautiful just the way she was, planning dates.He became emotionally present.Humble.Gentle.Safe. He changed. For the first time in their marriage, Laura began to feel celebrated for who she already was instead of feeling like he wished she were different. She no longer felt like she had to earn love. She felt cherished, emotionally safe, and truly loved–just the way she was. And it changed everything. From Feeling Skeptical to Feeling Hopeful After having heard a DYM podcast episode several years before these changes, Laura had closed herself off to the thought of DYM. But then, upon hearing an episode that we created for wives, she began to see the full picture more clearly and open herself up to the program. She decided to try it herself, even though she was still a bit skeptical. She realized that what made the difference was not only the content, but the context.She was no longer alone.She had community.She had a specific place to ask her specific questions about her marriage. For the first time, Laura had a safe place to speak honestly and to process pain without being blamed. She learned she could have a voice in her marriage. She could ask for help.She learned intimacy did not have to be driven by pressure.She learned she could say no to certain requests without any fear. Most importantly, she learned she mattered. 40 Years of Marriage–And Hoping For Many More "In short, it's better than it has ever been." Our hearts filled up when she shared this with us. Her husband is more in tune to what she needs and will go out of his way to bring in "delights"–if it's planning something special, bringing her flowers, or going along with Laura's spontaneous plans (even though he is the planner in the relationship!) Also in the past few years, her husband has kicked his porn addiction for good and has remained in community through Delight Your Marriage, which has helped keep him accountable and growing.  As for Laura, you can hear the joy and peace in her voice as she shares, "I never expected that it would be this good." Praise God. There is no person too far gone and no situation too desperate for the Lord. He is a God that heals and redeems–hearts, habits, marriages, and so much more–because He cares for us. And it is true for you too. As we enter the last few weeks of the year, including celebrating the birth of our Savior, we invite you to remember what God has done and how much He loves you. Enough to send His son for you, as a defenseless child, to live a perfect life and one day die to pay the debt we could never have paid.  And then to send His Holy Spirit–to counsel us and guide us.  And even now, He is available to us to redeem and save the lost, heal our hearts, and be near to his children. He loves us.He loves you. We hope you will keep this truth near to you these next few weeks and remember once again that He sent His son to redeem everything.

My heart was full of deep hate for my husband - I had years of built-up unforgiveness and pain for all of the ways I felt he had hurt and abandoned me...I was deeply depressed and suicidal from the pain of the marriage. I constantly saw death as the only way to be free of this hole that I had dug for myself...Emotionally, I am a completely different person. My heart is full of love and joy over my marriage and gratitude to the Lord for the way He has grown me. The Lord literally pulled me out of the darkness and also has shown me how much I was negatively contributing to the marriage...This is the first time in the almost 3 years of marriage that I haven't wanted to leave. I see so much beauty in my marriage and my husband."

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports NORAD continues a decades-long tradition of tracking Santa's trip around the world.

Courthouses already carry a strange kind of energy—anxious, heavy, full of people waiting for decisions that can change everything. Donna had been only twelve when she sat in one of those rooms, surrounded by strangers, tension, and the low hum of a long November morning in Washington, D.C. Nothing about that day felt supernatural at first. Yet something shifted in the air, subtle but undeniable—an uneasiness she noticed before anything actually happened. A moment later, the space behind her seemed to come alive with a presence she couldn't explain. Someone was there. Someone who shouldn't have been. Decades later, Donna could still picture the figure, the movement, and the silence that followed—and how everyone around her acted as though nothing at all had happened. But something had. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CourthouseGhost #Apparition #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedEncounter #GhostSighting #CreepyMoments #ParanormalPodcast  Love real ghost stories?

When eight-year-old Amy Erdman Farrell moved with her family to Akron, Ohio, in 1972, she found herself adrift in a sea of taunting boys and mean girls. Shy by nature, she dreaded her long, unhappy days at school. But a few years later, Farrell found an escape from bullying, the promise of sisterhood, a rising sense of confidence, adventure, and—best of all—lifelong friendship when she joined a Girl Scout troop. Decades later, award-winning author Dr. Farrell returns to those formative experiences to explore the complicated and surprising history of the Girl Scouts of the USA.Drawing from extensive archival research, visits to iconic Girl Scout sites around the world, and vivid personal reflections, in Intrepid Girls: The Complicated History of the Girl Scouts of the USA (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) Dr. Farrell uncovers the Girl Scouts intricate history, revealing how the organization has shaped the lives of more than 50 million girls and women since its founding in 1912. With Dr. Farrell as our own intrepid guide, we travel to American Indian boarding schools, Japanese American incarceration centers, segregated African American communities, middle-class white neighborhoods, and outposts throughout the globe. Intrepid Girls unpacks how the Girl Scouts navigated tensions over feminism, race, class, and political differences, carving out extraordinary opportunities for girls and women—even as it participated in the very discrimination it promised to transcend.For anyone who has ever worn a uniform or wondered about the hidden history behind this iconic American institution, Intrepid Girls will surprise, inspire, and challenge what we think we know about the Girl Scouts. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In 1979, Dale Earnhardt scored the biggest opportunity of his budding career to run in the NASCAR Cup Series full-time for upcoming car owner Rod Osterlund. While there are remnants of that season's events preserved through television and radio broadcasts, as well as other memorabilia, Dale's older sister Kaye did what any supportive sibling in the 70s would do: she started scrapbooking. Within these scrapbook pages lie a comprehensive picture of what the 1979 NASCAR season was like from the perspective of the rookie Kannapolis driver. Decades later, it was these very scrapbooks that inspired Dale Earnhardt Jr. to create a new podcast series documenting the monumental season and his father's rapid, meteoric rise to stock car stardom.In episode one of Becoming Earnhardt, listeners will gain a better understanding of what the world was like in 1979, not only in motorsports but the world as a whole. The landscape of NASCAR in the late ‘70s is unpacked, and the cast of characters who would set out to compete for the season crown of ‘79 are introduced. We also learn how 28-year-old Dale Earnhardt drove his way through the dirt short track ranks of the Charlotte area to land one of the most coveted opportunities in the NASCAR Cup garage, chauffeuring the number-2 blue and yellow stock cars for Osterlund Racing.FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

All in the Family is a sitcom created by Norman Lear that aired on CBS from 1971 to 1979. The show centers on Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), a loud, stubborn, working-class man whose beliefs are constantly challenged by his son-in-law and daughter. What set the show apart was its ability to use comedy to put taboo subjects like racism, sexism, politics, and religion front and center. Initially divisive, All in the Family quickly became both a massive ratings hit and a cultural lightning rod. Critics recognized it as bold, as it trusted audiences to laugh while being uncomfortable. The series spent five consecutive seasons as the number-one show on television. Decades later, it remains one of the most influential comedies ever made. Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Meet The Bunkers". Starring: Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers, Rob Reiner, & Mike Evans www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

When eight-year-old Amy Erdman Farrell moved with her family to Akron, Ohio, in 1972, she found herself adrift in a sea of taunting boys and mean girls. Shy by nature, she dreaded her long, unhappy days at school. But a few years later, Farrell found an escape from bullying, the promise of sisterhood, a rising sense of confidence, adventure, and—best of all—lifelong friendship when she joined a Girl Scout troop. Decades later, award-winning author Dr. Farrell returns to those formative experiences to explore the complicated and surprising history of the Girl Scouts of the USA.Drawing from extensive archival research, visits to iconic Girl Scout sites around the world, and vivid personal reflections, in Intrepid Girls: The Complicated History of the Girl Scouts of the USA (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) Dr. Farrell uncovers the Girl Scouts intricate history, revealing how the organization has shaped the lives of more than 50 million girls and women since its founding in 1912.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken Murders are solved: the decades-old mass murder in Texas is now considered closed after investigators identify the final person involved, even though no arrest will ever be made. The man once labeled a person of interest in last week’s acid attack on a woman in Savannah, Georgia, has now been ruled out, as new reward money pours in to help find the real attacker.

In Episode 371 (Rebroadcast of EP 294), we tell you about a slow-rolling SHTF scenario that's happening now: “de-dollar-ification.” That's the process by which foreign countries are no longer using US dollars to conduct international trade.

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  By mid-century, more than 80 million Americans will be over the age of 65.  By any prevailing definition, the United States will be a country full of older adults.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity! I'm your host, Ken Stern. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging—and inspiring new ways we can live our supersized lives. Today: Margaret Cho. She is a Korean-American comedian, actress, musician, advocate, and entrepreneur. Most of us know her from her stand-up, where she pokes fun at topics like race, sexuality, body positivity, and politics. Decades after her network debut, she's still using comedy as activism.

In the year 2000, the estate of children's author Theodor Geisel, better known by his pen name Dr. Seuss, sold the live-action movie rights to one of the writer's most beloved works. Decades earlier, an animated television special brought to life, via the voice of Boris Karloff and the talents of Chuck Jones, the cranky green curmudgeon known simply as The Grinch. With a plot to steal Christmas from the irrepressibly cheerful Whos of Whoville, the Grinch and his dog Max discover the true meaning of the holiday in this perennial holiday viewing favorite. After a rocky production, director Ron Howard reimagined the cartoon in living color with Jim Carrey donning yellow contact lenses and a dyed-green yak fur suit as The Grinch. The movie, despite mixed reviews, was box office gold, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year and taking home an Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. But will our hosts' hearts grow three sizes today? Or will we be the mean ones to say that the How the Grinch Stole Christmas ruined Christmas?

RFK Jr., Junk Science, and the Dangerous War on Public Health | Karel Cast A headline from The Hill claims “the war on saturated fat was never based on good science.” That claim is false — and dangerous. Decades of peer-reviewed research link high saturated fat intake to heart disease and serious health outcomes. Yet RFK Jr. is pushing this narrative anyway. Since entering office, RFK Jr. has systematically dismantled public-health safeguards — from vaccines to nutrition policy — gutting the CDC and undermining trust in science. So the real question becomes: why is he willing to gamble with Americans' lives? On today's episode of The Karel Cast, we break down how misinformation around food and health becomes policy — and who pays the price. Plus: how much does each state actually contribute to the U.S. GDP? The numbers are shocking, and they completely undercut MAGA talking points about “who carries the country.” And finally: Hollywood's “woke” reputation vs. reality. Over 90% of what Americans watch is created by white people, with nearly 80% by white men. Is this just demographics — or a full-scale regression to old power structures? This episode connects health, economics, media, and power — and why all of it matters right now. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

Some encounters with the unknown announce themselves with a single dramatic moment. Others begin quietly, as a feeling you can't name — one that follows you from room to room, from childhood into adulthood, until the pattern becomes impossible to dismiss. We explore a lifetime of shadow-person encounters that began in the unlikeliest place: a bright, ordinary childhood bedroom in a safe Maryland suburb. What started as a vague sense of being watched evolved into visions, apparitions, and moments of paralysis that stretched across multiple homes, states, and stages of life. From silent figures lingering in doorways to a top-hatted entity emerging from a blinding white void, her story reveals how some presences don't simply haunt a location — they follow a person. Years later, a stranger would share an eerily similar vision, suggesting these beings may be more organized, more intelligent, and more purposeful than she ever imagined. #Ghosts #ShadowPeople #ParanormalEncounters #LifelongHaunting #TopHatMan #SupernaturalExperiences #ShadowFigures #TrueGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #UnseenPresence Love real ghost stories?

Special Guest: George Rivera   https://buybacktimeformula.com Welcome back to the Profits Unleashed Podcast — where podcasting meets purpose and profit. In this powerful episode, I sat down with George Rivera, a father, founder, executive coach, and creator of the Buyback Time Formula. And honestly? This is one conversation every founder needs to hear. George has spent over 30 years in direct response marketing, e-commerce, and real estate coaching. From the outside, his success looked impressive — multi–seven figure businesses, scale, momentum. But behind the scenes, the cost was high: his health, his energy, and most importantly, his time with family. What really moved me was the story that sparked George's pivot. As a child, his father — a successful medical doctor — missed nearly all of his basketball games. Decades later, shortly before his father passed away, George received a simple but life-altering message: “Don't miss Leo's games.” That moment forced George to confront a hard truth — he was repeating the same pattern in his own life. Despite growing his business to $20M, George found himself trapped as the bottleneck, working 60–90 hour weeks, exhausted, resentful, and stuck in what he now calls “founder prison.” That breaking point led him to redesign his role, his team, and his systems — not to slow growth, but to accelerate it. The result? A business that scaled to nearly $50M while he reclaimed his time, worked fewer hours, and became fully present as a father. In this episode, we dive deep into the mindset shifts, delegation frameworks, and practical systems that allow founders to step out of the weeds and lead from their zone of genius — without guilt or fear. George doesn't sugarcoat it. Buying back time isn't magic. It's intentional, structured, and deeply personal. If you've built something powerful but feel trapped inside it, this conversation might just change everything. Key Takeaways (From My Perspective as Host): I learned that burnout isn't a badge of honor — it's a warning sign I saw how poor delegation creates bottlenecks, not protection I was reminded that 80% done by the right person often beats 100% done by me I realized time audits reveal freedom opportunities hiding in plain sight I believe scaling doesn't require sacrifice — it requires systems I'm convinced that buying back time is one of the highest ROI decisions a founder can make

Minnesota folklorist and musician Ellen Stekert has released a new album for the first time in decades. But the songs on “Go Ahead Around Songs, Vol. 1” are not new recordings.They were cut years ago in the 1950s and 1960s and were never formally released. With the help of artificial intelligence, those archival recordings have now been restored and assembled into a collection.In addition to her music, Stekert is a pioneering scholar in folklore studies. She taught for many years at the University of Minnesota and became Minnesota's first state folklorist in 1976. Stekert joined MPR News host Nina Moini along with Ross Wylde, who helped produce the album.

In April 1988, the quiet lakeside community of Lakeway, Texas was shaken when 45-year-old Betty Ann Thomas vanished from her home on Cold Water Lane. A violent scene inside the residence suggested a targeted attack, and two days later, Betty was found in the trunk of her Jaguar outside an Austin hotel, bound, gagged, and executed. Her murder became the first, and still the only, homicide in Lakeway's history.As detectives uncovered Betty's life story and examined her home for clues, an eerie parallel emerged: her father-in-law had been murdered in a similarly cold-blooded fashion eight years earlier. Though investigators explored every possibility, including motives involving money and past associations, the case ultimately went cold.Decades later, advancements in forensics, including an unidentified male DNA profile and recent fingerprint matches, have reignited the investigation. Nearly forty years on, Betty's family and the Lakeway community continue to wait for justice.If you have any information about the murder of Betty Ann Thomas, please call the Lakeway Police Department at (512) 261-2800.Sources: The Austin American-Statesman, The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise, The San Antonio Express-News, The Houston Chronicle, The Clinton Eye, The Clinton Daily Democrat, The Lawrence Journal-WorldYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Constance grew up believing she shared the same father as her siblings, though she always sensed something was off. Decades later, an AncestryDNA test and unexpected messages from strangers unraveled the truth—leading her to her biological father living just 20 minutes away. Their emotional first meeting, the highs and lows of building a relationship at midlife, and Constance's journey toward grace, understanding, and identity make this a deeply meaningful NPE story.Constance can be reached via email constancethenpe@gmail.comNPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories

When Kayla was sixteen, moving into an old Arkansas farmhouse felt like stepping into a quiet, simple life—high on a hill, wrapped in a porch, with a stream running beside it. But it didn't take long to realize the house had a life of its own. What began as melodic whistling no one could trace soon escalated into cabinet doors slamming on their own, nighttime knocks on windows, and the unsettling sense that something unseen was moving through the rooms. The experiences didn't belong to Kayla alone. Friends witnessed them. Pets reacted to them. And one night, Kayla and a friend saw something in the backyard neither could rationalize—a small, fast, troll-like figure that left them scrambling backward in fear. Decades later, the memories remain as vivid as ever. #HauntedFarmhouse #ArkansasHaunting #RealGhostStories #ParanormalExperiences #UnexplainedEncounters #BackyardApparition #HauntedLife #GhostlyWhistling #ParanormalPodcast #SpiritActivity #TrueHaunting  Love real ghost stories?
