She had always seen things others didn't—figures that vanished when she focused, animals that didn't belong, the quiet appearance of a man who had died days earlier, standing in a doorway just long enough to say goodbye. Those moments never frightened her. They felt brief. Complete. Finished.That changed after she survived something violent at seventeen. Years later, in a new apartment, a different presence made itself known—not by appearing, but by watching. Doors opened without drafts. Objects shifted subtly. A heaviness settled in her chest at night, cold and intentional. Worse than fear was the sense that whatever lingered was aware of her awareness.Her sister felt it too. The dead she'd seen as a child had never noticed her back. This did. She stopped trying to explain it. She stopped giving it attention. And slowly, what watched from the edges began to retreat.

Some hauntings don't begin with footsteps or shadows—they begin inside the mind.In this chilling true paranormal story, a family watches helplessly as a once-familiar man spirals into addiction, paranoia, and terror. What starts as heavy drinking and emotional distance escalates into something far more disturbing: voices issuing deadly ultimatums, violent nocturnal attacks, and a growing sense that something unseen has latched onto his weakest moments.Lights flicker. Doors open on their own. A child senses something watching. Then comes the confession—an entity name that surfaces repeatedly in his thoughts. A name tied to ancient scripture. A name spoken with fear.After a pastor prays with him, the activity intensifies. Within hours, he claims something grabbed his ankles and dragged him from the bed.As the family struggles to understand what they're witnessing, one question refuses to fade: are they dealing with a severe mental health crisis… or something far darker hiding behind it?#TrueGhostStory #DemonicAttachment #ParanormalPodcast #RealHaunting #PossessionStory #DarkParanormal #UnexplainedEncounters #TrueParanormal #SpiritualWarfare #CreepyTrueStories Love real ghost stories?

Living alone in an old rental house in northern Michigan can mess with your nerves—especially when you're pregnant, isolated at night, and already uneasy about the walls around you. At first, it's just a feeling. A subtle sense that something is off, something is watching.Then the house begins to react.Lights flicker at strange moments. The atmosphere shifts when emotions run high. And gradually, an unspoken presence makes itself known—not with fear, but with an almost quiet awareness. It doesn't feel threatening. If anything, it feels… attentive.As tensions inside the home escalate and nights grow heavier, something unseen seems to take notice. Doors behave strangely. Sounds don't line up with logic. And in the middle of a moment that could have ended very differently, an invisible line is drawn—one that cannot be crossed.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #ProtectiveSpirit #HauntedMichigan #GuardianSpirit #UnseenPresence #ParanormalEncounter #MotherAndChild #HauntedHouse #EerieButComforting #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?

A personal, living case study on becoming the woman I always talk about helping others become || We're flipping the script today and sharing an interview where the beautiful Louise of the “Healing Honeys”  podcast hosted Monica to hear all about HER personal healing, business journey, and feminine embodiment path—not just the highlight reel of how she got to where she is today, but the real nitty gritty she hasn't shared anywhere else. If you've ever looked at Monica's life and thought “must be nice,” this is your reminder that even in the mess, the “wtf” moments, the rebuild, and the unknown—it's all happening FOR you. And, honestly, this is what the path of true feminine leadership and nervous system healing really looks like. INSIDE THE EPISODE:

Please follow us on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Links for the Show: Fondazione FS Italiane National Railway Museum Strada dell'Olio DOP Umbria  Via di Linari In this episode, Kimberly Holcombe and Tommaso share insights from their friends who recently traveled to Italy during the Christmas holiday. They discuss historical train routes, exciting activities like driving a Ferrari through Tuscany, and adventurous hiking and biking options. Join us in this episode for unique ways to experience Italy beyond the typical tourist paths. Key Points: Christmas in Italy: Venice was less crowded than Rome during the holidays. Italian locals gather in Rome for Christmas, making it more crowded. Venice had crowds during specific events like the Santa Claus gondolier parade. Uber Black in Rome: Friends used Uber Black successfully in Rome, despite previous reliability concerns with standard Uber. Uber Black offers larger, luxury vehicles with professional drivers. Historical Exploration: Friends regretted not researching the history of Italian landmarks before their trip. Tommaso suggests spending ample time before the trip researching historical facts so they are better prepared once there. New Travel Options for 2026: Historical Train Journeys: Italy's historic railways, managed by La Fondazione FS Italiane. Binari Sensa Tempo (Timeless Tracks): Offers dozens of itineraries across the country. The National Railway Museum is in Pietrasara, outside Naples. The Christmas Market Train (Treno de Mercantini di Natale) runs from Sulmona to Roccaraso in Abruzzo. A day-long excursion from Torino to Canelli offers wine tastings in Piemonte. The train features Centoporte (100 Doors) carriages from the 1920s to the 1980s. Sommeliers offer tastings of regional wines like Barolos. Olive Mill Trains: Frantoi Aperti (Open Olive Mills) trains run every weekend through mid-November. Organized by Strada dell'Olio DOP Umbria (The Olive Oil Road). Visitors can taste fresh extra virgin olive oil and learn about production. Guided tastings led by professional tasters are available on board. The route runs from Arezzo to other Umbrian towns like Spoleto and Assisi. Promotes mindful travel and reduces carbon emissions. Luxury Driving: Drive a Ferrari through the hills of Tuscany. Prices are around 4,000 euros per day, or 2,000 euros per person for two. Multi-day excursions include high-end hotels. Adventure Hiking: Via Di Linari: An ancient 93-mile trail through medieval monasteries, abbeys, and a national park. The trail snakes through Emilia-Romagna and the Apennine Mountains into Tuscany. Best hiked in spring or fall, taking about nine days to complete. Sections are no more than 12 miles long. The website Camini Emilia Romagna provides detailed itineraries and accommodation options. Monasteri Aperti: Monks open their doors to hikers for hot meals on certain autumn weekends. Biking Expeditions: Flat, scenic rides connecting food capitals like Parma and Bologna to Venice. Explore historic sites like Ferrara, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sardinia: Features rugged coastlines and routes for all levels.

Isola di Levanzo is ideal for mountain bikers. Isola di Favignana has paved roads and gravel paths. Isola Marettimo is for serious mountain bikers, featuring a small idyllic village.

onight we pour a tall glass of rediscovered desire:Beth – The Unretired Slut A freshly divorced mom digs out her old slutty wardrobe, hits the bars with live music, and ends up getting railed raw in the cramped back seat of her tiny Ford Fiesta by a drummer young enough to crown her an official cougar. Finger stamina may have changed instruments, but the hunger is louder than ever.Paul – The Cracked Door at the Lake House A weekend of harmless group flirting turns electric when Paul accidentally walks in on his best friend's wife Samantha touching herself… while moaning his name. One shushing finger, one mutual masturbation session, and one shared secret later, the line between friends and forbidden is forever blurred.Sandra – The Strip-Club Bet A playful wager with her boyfriend over real vs. fake breasts leads to a private lap dance from a gorgeous French dancer. Grinding turns into art, jeans stay on, and Sandra experiences a mortifyingly intense, hands-free orgasm while her boyfriend watches—and pays. Sometimes the hottest messes are the ones you don't have to clean up.A dimly lit hotel suite. A trail of discarded clothes. A dominant stranger named Lucas who spanks, commands, and fucks Nikky senseless on silk sheets—while a trusted shadow watches every thrust, every scream, every eye-locked climax from behind a cracked door.

How to Know If You've Earned Your Next Big Move I'm about to share something I never thought I'd say out loud. After nearly a decade of launching Digital Course Academy, I've decided to retire the program. That's right. I am no longer launching a product that has helped over 28,000 business owners and earned my business $54 million. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story behind this pivot, the moment I knew it was time, and the framework I used to decide whether this big move was the right one. If you've ever felt pulled toward something new but weren't sure if it was premature excitement or intuition, this conversation is for you. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Not All Pivots Are Created Equal – There's a big difference between an impulse pivot and an earned elevation. One comes from boredom or comparison. The other comes from putting in the reps, building something solid, and feeling genuinely called forward. 2️⃣ The Right Pivot Requires Hard Questions – Before making a move, you have to ask yourself if you're willing to make less money for a season, sit in uncertainty, look inexperienced, and let go of good in pursuit of great. If you can't honestly answer yes, it's not time yet. 3️⃣ Earning Your Elevation Is About Experience, Not Worth – You don't earn your worth. You earn your readiness. When you've stayed in your lane, done the work, learned the lessons, and built something real, you're allowed to grow, evolve, and want more.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Growing up, Bryan spent countless hours at his grandmother's home… a place where the spirits were as familiar as the furniture. Apparitions appeared without warning. Doors opened on their own. Voices echoed through rooms long after everyone was accounted for. And no matter where Bryan's grandmother lived, the activity followed.What makes this story truly unsettling is how normal it all became. These weren't isolated incidents or moments brushed off as imagination—they were shared experiences, witnessed by multiple family members, accepted as part of daily life.Those early encounters planted the seeds for Bryan's future path into paranormal investigation. This episode explores what it's like to grow up knowing the dead are real—and how living alongside them can shape the rest of your life.

She grew up terrified of the dark—but not in the way most children are. Certain rooms in her childhood home felt wrong. Footsteps echoed on the stairs when no one was there. Doors opened on their own. A wardrobe creaked open again and again, as if something inside refused to stay hidden. The house, built in the mid-1800s near Lake Erie, carried a history no one talked about. Years later, she learned it had once been an undertaker's home—bodies stored in the basement before burial. When the house mysteriously burned down on Christmas morning, she felt an unexpected sense of relief. But distance didn't bring peace. During college, terrifying episodes of sleep paralysis began—episodes where she heard three distinct voices mocking her regrets, laughing at her fear, and pressing down on her body as if something physical had taken hold. One voice felt familiar. Almost comforting. Until she told it to leave.

What happens when a long pastoral calling ends, friendships fade, and the church faces cultural fracture? Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer (42 years in ministry at Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA) joins Mark Labberton for a searching conversation about retirement from pastoral ministry, loneliness, leadership, and the meaning of credible witness in the Black church today. "Ministry can be a lonely business." In this episode, Bishop Ulmer reflects on the stepping away after four decades of pastoral leadership, navigating aloneness, disrupted rhythms, and the spiritual costs of transition. Together they discuss pastoral loneliness, friendship and grief, retirement and identity, church leadership after elections, authenticity versus attraction, political division in congregations, and whether the church still centers Jesus. Episode Highlights "Ministry can be a lonely business." "[Boy, pointing to a church] Is God in there? [Pastor] Sometimes I wonder." "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." "Jesus is the answer for the world today." About Kenneth C. Ulmer Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer is Bishop Emeritus of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, where he served as senior pastor for more than four decades. A nationally respected preacher, civic leader, and mentor, Ulmer played a significant role in the spiritual and economic life of Los Angeles, including the preservation of the Forum as a major community asset. He has been a prominent voice in conversations about the Black church, urban ministry, and faithful Christian leadership amid cultural and political change. Ulmer continues to teach, preach, and advise leaders while reflecting publicly on vocation, aging, and wisdom in ministry.

Absence of trusted friends exposing a deep relational void Final sermon titled "I Did My Best," echoing 2 Timothy imagery and the words on Kenneth Ulmer's father's grave "I fought a good fight" as closing vocational reflection Disrupted spiritual rhythm after forty-one years of weekly preaching "My rhythm is off." Identity shaped by Sunday coming "every seven days" Question of where and how to worship after stepping away Public recognition colliding with uncertainty about purpose Therapy as a faithful response to grief and transition Energy and health without a clear channel for vocation Question of "what do you do now?" after leadership ends Seeing farther than you will go as a leadership reality Deuteronomy 34 and Moses viewing the Promised Land "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." Passing vision to a Joshua who will go farther than he can see Grief of cheering from the sidelines while no longer on the field Wrestling with authenticity versus attraction in church leadership John 12:32 and the tension of lifting up Jesus to draw others "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." Fear of entertainment, production, and celebrity eclipsing Christ Question of whether churches are built on preaching or personality Political polarization dividing congregations and pulpits Question pastors must ask: "Who am I going to be after this ballot?" Kingdom identity beyond donkey or elephant, only the Lamb "Holding up the bloodstained banner" as faithful witness Doors of the church open—how wide are they, and for whom? Concern for credibility after the benediction and after the election Civic engagement without surrendering theological center Preserving community good beyond church walls and buildings Forum purchase as economic stewardship, not church expansion Question of whether God is still "in that house" How much of the God inside gets outside into the neighborhood? Jesus as the enduring answer amid cultural confusion Worship song, "We Offer Jesus" "Jesus in the morning, Jesus at noonday, Jesus in the midnight hour." Call to be the extended incarnation in ordinary life: "You are the temple."

If you've ever said, “There's no way I can get up early to work out,” this episode is going to encourage you in the best way. The fitness world often pushes early mornings as the “gold standard,” but for many Christian women, especially in seasons of pregnancy, postpartum, burnout, illness, or simply carrying a heavy mental load, early mornings are not the most faithful or realistic option. In this episode, Shaela breaks down the myth that workouts only count if they're early and shows you how to build a routine that honors your actual life, energy, and calling. Whether you've been searching for how to find time to work out, home workouts for busy moms, Christian workout motivation, or realistic fitness routines, you'll learn how to create sustainable rhythms that don't rely on perfection or hype. You'll hear: Why waking up early is not a requirement for discipline How to discern what rhythm God is asking of you in this season Why motivation and external accountability can't be your foundation What real, grace-filled consistency looks like for moms How to make home workouts work — even with kids and interruptions Practical examples of workout times that actually count Your workout doesn't need to be quiet, aesthetic, or perfect. It simply needs to be done in obedience and stewardship — in the time of day that truly fits your season. Want Support? Here's Where to Start The Simple Fitness Habits Community This free community is the place for real-life conversation, weekly encouragement, and practical help for creating healthy rhythms.

At our first Testimony and Thanksgiving Service of 2026, Pastor Femi Paul delivered a prophetic word titled “Opportunity to go from Obscurity into Reckoning and Renown.” Anchored on Revelation 3:8, we were reminded that God is the Author of divine doors. Doors are that open not by human strength, but by obedience, faithfulness, and steadfast commitment to His Name. Though we may appear small in strength, heaven has taken full account of our walk, and God has responded decisively by opening doors that no man can shut. This is proof that divine recognition is not driven by noise, but by covenant. The word for us is clear. 2026 is our year of great and amazing opportunities. It is these God given opportunities that move His people from obscurity into reckoning and renown, into visibility backed by substance, recognition based on proven importance, and honour that cannot be denied. What was lacking before was not care, effort, or faith, it was opportunity. That season has ended. This year, amazing doors are standing wide open, ushering us into relevance, respect, and God ordained prominence. As God has spoken, the Church boldly responds in faith, Amen. Confession: Father, I receive my opportunity to move from obscurity into reckoning and renown. Doors no man can shut are opening before me. I step into divine recognition and honour in 2026, in Jesus' name. Amen.

From childhood, she knew something wasn't right—but it wasn't tied to a single haunted house. Wherever she went, the activity followed. Shadows moved without a source. Voices whispered in empty rooms. A little girl's laughter echoed down hallways where no one stood. What began as fear inside a family home slowly became something far more disturbing—a real haunting that reacted to her presence. She saw apparitions others couldn't explain: a Civil War soldier, a silent man in overalls, and a glowing figure that walked straight through walls. Objects moved on their own. Doors closed. A doll was violently thrown from a shelf after she demanded proof. And one night, a dark figure with red eyes sat on her bed. As she grew older, the phenomenon didn't fade—it spread. Jobs became haunted. Coworkers saw figures she never described. Friends' homes changed after she arrived. Even her boyfriend's family began seeing the same ghostly child. Was it a ghost? Something darker? Or a haunting tied to her alone? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedLife #ShadowFigure #ParanormalExperience #GhostChild #HauntedHouse #SleepParalysis #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ScaryStories  Love real ghost stories?

Kenneth didn't believe the house was haunted—at least not at first. The place was temporary, under renovation, and far from ideal, but he was caught up in the excitement of a new relationship. Still, the moment he stepped inside, something felt wrong. The air felt heavier. The mood shifted. Late one night, as the house fell silent, the ceiling fan began to move on its own—slowly, unnaturally—despite being turned off. It stopped… then started spinning the opposite direction. By morning, the unease hadn't faded. Over the next few days, the house escalated. Violent bangs shook the walls. Doors slammed without explanation. Locked spaces showed signs of movement that couldn't be traced. Electronics shrieked with static and distortion. Cold air appeared in one exact spot, like something unseen was standing there. This wasn't a typical haunting. Nothing announced itself. It watched. It reacted. And it didn't want them there. #RealGhostStories #TrueHaunting #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounter #Unexplained #TrueScaryStories #GhostActivity #DemonicWhispers #HauntingExperience #ParanormalPodcast #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

The part your nervous system plays in getting the "more" you say you want || In this nugget episode, Monica asks one of the most important and powerful questions you'll face on your feminine leadership journey: “How am I being my own bottleneck?” ... aka how am I holding myself back from what I want? If you're feeling any sort of resistance in your business, your healing, your relationship, or your expansion… this one could change everything. INSIDE THE EPISODE:

Tucked away in the heart of Springfield, Missouri, stands a towering limestone fortress with a past as layered and mysterious as its walls, the Pythian Castle. Built in 1913 by the secretive Knights of Pythias, it was never meant for rituals or brotherhood meetings. Instead, it was a home for aging members nearing life's end and orphaned children left behind by tragedy. But that was only the beginning. During World War II, the U.S. military took over, transforming the castle into a rehabilitation center and a holding site for prisoners of war. Rumors of confinement, hidden tunnels, and unspoken wartime horrors still linger in the basement shadows. More than a century later, the castle still stands—and, it seems, so do its former residents. Disembodied voices ripple through the marble lobby. Doors slam where no one walks. Children's laughter echoes in its halls, as does a woman's greeting, but who, and where, is she? Today, we step inside the haunted Pythian Castle with Melissa Thuro —where history never rests, and it seems, neither do the spirits.

The woman who announced Alex Murdaugh's guilty verdict is now wearing handcuffs herself. In one of the most shocking reversals in recent courtroom history, former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill has been charged with obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, and perjury—casting a dark cloud over one of America's most watched murder trials. In this explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks how Hill allegedly allowed sealed trial evidence to be photographed, violated multiple court orders, and used her powerful role in the Murdaugh trial to promote her own book, Behind the Doors of Justice. Prosecutors say she lied under oath about leaking evidence. Investigators say she broke the rules she was sworn to uphold. And Murdaugh's defense says this validates everything they've been arguing for a year: the trial wasn't fair. But that's only half the story. Murdaugh's 132-page appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court claims his double-murder trial was fundamentally compromised—citing Hill's alleged juror influence, flawed forensics, and the admission of six days of unrelated financial-crimes testimony. The defense also points to newly discovered text messages from Curtis “Eddie” Smith that were never turned over. Hill's arrest doesn't prove jury tampering — but it raises enough questions to destabilize confidence in the verdict. The State insists that while Hill's actions were inappropriate, they don't warrant a new trial. The defense says the integrity of the justice system is already shattered. Oral arguments could come this fall, but a ruling may not land until 2026. One thing is certain: Becky Hill's arrest didn't just ignite a scandal—it may have opened the door for Alex Murdaugh's last and most powerful shot at a retrial. #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughAppeal #TrueCrimeNews #CourtroomDrama #ObstructionOfJustice #LegalScandal #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Some people grow up believing haunted houses are the problem. Others eventually realize something far more unsettling — the activity follows them. From childhood moments that feel easy to dismiss, to patterns that only become clear years later, this listener slowly begins to recognize a truth that's impossible to ignore. Doors don't knock on their own. Footsteps don't appear without explanation. And shadows don't linger unless they have a reason. As the experiences escalate, fear gives way to recognition — not of a single spirit, but of a lifelong connection to something unseen. This isn't a story about one haunting. It's about realizing you may be the common thread in every one of them. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueParanormal #HauntedExperiences #ShadowPeople #UnexplainedEncounters #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalActivity #GhostStories #RealHauntings Love real ghost stories?
