Podcasts about encounters

Fae, duendes, and similar "little beings" are supernatural, often nature-based creatures found in folklore and mythology across the globe. They can be seen as nature spirits, helpers, or even tricksters, with variations in their descriptions and powers depending on the specific tradition.The term "Fae" broadly refers to a collective of supernatural beings, including fairies, elves, gnomes, sprites, and other nature spirits. The Faerie Folk are believed to be ancient beings that inhabited the Earth before the Celts or Anglo-Saxons.Duendes, in particular, are small, human-like beings often associated with mischievous acts or even malevolent, but can also be benevolent. Their origins are part of the Hispanic culture and folklore.In essence, "little beings" are a diverse and fascinating group of creatures that have captivated human imagination for centuries, reflecting our deep connection to nature and the supernatural.Hi.

She joins Nicole to talk about dating a record number of canceled UCB comedians, surviving a nightmare marriage, and only realizing she was unhappy after it ended (plus how to spot signs of abuse in your own relationship). Jackie shares how therapy—and a witch's spell—helped her find true love.

They're trained to handle life-or-death emergencies, but what happens when the emergency defies all logic? In this chilling episode, first responders—EMTs, firefighters, police officers, and 911 dispatchers—share their real-life encounters with the unexplained.  What's Haunting This Episode? A firefighter's encounters in a historic firehouse haunted by the playful ghosts of its former inhabitants. An emergency line operator in Australia dispatches EMS for a medical alarm call, to what turns out to be an empty house… A critically injured person recalls being comforted by an EMT at the scene of an accident—only to later learn no such EMT was ever there After Hurricane Katrina, a first responder follows a mysterious infant's cry and has a shocking discovery. From life saving specters to eerie voices on emergency calls, these are the kinds of paranormal stories that can't be dismissed.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the mysterious Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where moonshine and monsters collide in a story that spans generations. Join us as we unravel the tale of Jim, a master moonshiner whose knowledge of the mountains led to prosperity—and ultimately, his mysterious disappearance in 1972. This haunting narrative, told from the perspective of his grandson, explores how Jim used the feared presence of Sasquatch creatures to keep revenue agents and competitors away from his illegal stills in an area locals called "Booger Holler." But as we'll discover, nature always collects its debts, and some territories should never be trespassed—no matter how profitable they might be.This haunting tale explores themes of territory, respect for nature, and the price of hubris. The Appalachian Mountains have long been home to tales of strange creatures and unexplained phenomena, with "Booger" being a common mountain term for ghost or monster. While science may not acknowledge the existence of Sasquatch, many mountain communities have their own stories of encounters with something not quite human that protects the deepest, most isolated hollows.Moonshining itself has a rich history in the Appalachians, where distilling skills were passed down through generations and became both an economic necessity and a point of cultural pride for many families. The tension between moonshiners and "revenuers" (federal agents) created a perfect environment for legends to thrive—especially those that kept strangers away from secret still locations.Listener DiscretionThis episode contains descriptions of implied violence and intense situations that may not be suitable for younger listeners. While not graphically depicted, the story suggests the fate of those who venture too far into territories they aren't welcome in.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, we explore the spiritual landscape of the early church and its approach to demons, darkness, and deliverance. While Jesus's ministry was marked by frequent and visible power encounters with demonic forces, the New Testament Church took a noticeably different approach—rooted in truth, identity, and bold obedience.We'll examine how Jesus's authority shaped the early church's understanding of spiritual warfare, why the apostles didn't obsess over the demonic, and what they focused on instead. We'll also confront the modern church's tendency to over-spiritualize hardship and ask: Are we responding like the early church did—with prayer, boldness, and clarity of mission?Whether you're navigating spiritual pressure, teaching on spiritual warfare, or simply looking to root your theology in New Testament truth, this conversation will bring balance, depth, and direction.

This episode Steve Martin, President and CEO of Natural Encounters, Inc., discusses training on a continuum by moving away from coercion and towards genuine choice. Steve starts the episode by giving a review of the concepts of choice and… control with some practical examples.  The discussion then turns to breaking down behavioral degrees of freedom, genuine choice, and coercion with many more great practical examples. The episode ends with Steve outlining that real-world animal training requires us to train on the continuum but always striving towards providing genuine choice in order to enhance an animal's welfare.  Stay tuned in for Steve's motivation and emotional "Training Tale" about a trainer from a show at the Singapore Zoo.  For questions or suggestions about the podcast email ⁠abc@theabma.org⁠ and to contact Steve email s.martin@naturalencounters.com⁠ Let's talk some training and banter about behavior!3:45 Introduction to Steve Martin 9:25 Review of Choice and… Control 18:55 Degrees of Behavioral Freedom28:20 Free Choice30:35 Genuine Choice44:05 Coercion 56:15 Training on the Continuum1:04:15 “Training Tales”

Despite overcoming many challenges as well as mental and physical hurdles during her voyage, Zara highlights the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the power of support from loved ones.About Zara LachlanZara Lachlan is a 21-year-old physics student at Loughborough University who is joining the army in September 2025 as a technical officer. She has competed internationally in cycling and rowing which she started at 16 at Welbeck, the Army's 6th Form College. Zara heard about ocean rowing when she was much younger but only decided to take on this challenge last summer, and the first time she ever saw an ocean rowing boat was in August.Two and a half months of intensive training later, she was fully prepared to row across the Atlantic solo.Zara faced extreme weather leading to a capsize, orcas and sharks, and a near miss with a large ship, yet still describes her expedition as the most enjoyable and rewarding experience she has come across so far. Zara set out to encourage others to find a fun way to keep fit and healthy and gain the confidence needed to try something new. None of her crossing would have been possible without the support she got from the charity Team Forces and all her sponsors.Connect with Zara Lachlan via Instagram Key Quotes"I didn't have a big reason to row across an ocean, I just thought it would be fun.""Some days, I rowed for 21 hours, and it still wasn't enough. That was a hard lesson in learning to accept what's out of my control.""For almost 60 days, I had no music, no distractions, just the ocean, the wildlife, and my own thoughts.""The hardest part wasn't the physical challenge. It was waking up every day knowing I had 3,000 miles left to go.""Nine times out of ten, you're stronger than you think you are. The only way to find out is to go for it."Connect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeProducer: Sue Stockdale   Sound Editor: Matias De Ezcurra Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.

Fans And Followers | Encounters | Week 7 by Elevate Church

Nestled in the redwood forests of Sonoma County, California, Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre private campground owned by the Bohemian Club, an elite, all-male social club founded in San Francisco in 1872. Every July, it hosts a two-week encampment that draws some of the world's most influential men—think presidents, CEOs, military leaders, and artists. The retreat is shrouded in secrecy, fueling both fascination and wild speculation.

In this episode, Fred shares harrowing tales from law enforcement professional Tim and a villager named Aggie. Tim recounts a terrifying encounter with an enormous creature while patrolling Alaskan wilderness, initially dismissed as a bear but later believed to be a Bigfoot. As the hunt for the creature becomes more intense, Tim faces skepticism from his partner and deals with the psychological impact of his experience. Next, Aggie, a resident from a remote Alaskan village, describes her childhood encounter with a 'Hairy Man' while supervising younger children. She details the strange behavior of the creature and the local legends surrounding the mysterious being, including the disappearance of her uncle. Both stories underscore the eerie, yet fascinating, folklore and unexplained phenomena in Alaska.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM00:00 Introduction and Tim's Background 01:11 Tim's First Encounter: The Hunters' Story 04:02 The Mysterious Creature Revealed 07:18 Tim's Return and the Aftermath 22:27 Aggie's Story: A Childhood Encounter 32:21 The Harry Man: Village Legends and Warnings 33:43 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Joining us for this cosmic adventure is George from Shortbox Summary, who brings his signature wit and deep knowledge of pop culture to the discussion. Together, we'll explore what makes Encounters in Space stand out among Gundam games, share our favorite moments from its sprawling story modes, and maybe even speculate about Zeon's questionable interior design choices. Strap in—it's going to be a bumpy ride through the stars! Learn such things as: Did George really say starting with SD Gundam is a viable option for me?

Pastor Jordan continues the "Encounters with Jesus" message series – exploring the powerful moment when Jesus extended eternal grace to a dying thief. Discover how one criminal's faith on a cross reveals the heart of the Gospel and reminds us it's never too late for salvation.

This message, based on John 19:28, explores the final moments of Jesus' life and the deeply personal nature of the crucifixion. Far from being just a historical event, the cross invites a response from every heart. Through the lens of four key encounters—Pilate's rejection, the soldiers' indifference, the sorrow of the women and John, and the boldness of Joseph and Nicodemus—we see how different people responded to Jesus in His suffering. The message challenges us to examine our own response to Christ today, reminding us that neutrality or indifference is a response in itself. Rooted in the Gospel—the fulfillment of God's promises in Jesus—it calls us to personally engage with the Savior who thirsted for our redemption.

During my many years as a Fortean researcher & investigator, I have focused on creatures that most people would say belong on the pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, or maybe in animated films & cartoons. There are also tales of ancient dog-headed men who are unique to myth and legend.But, in more recent times, there are also accounts of human-like canines that are said to live and prosper among us. They are seen in many forms, both biped or quadruped. But the overwhelming question is, "What are they, and why do they exist?"Try to visualize what I'm about to describe to you.

This week's astrology focuses on how we can reclaim parts of ourselves that have been disowned or distorted via unconscious processes. There is a strong theme of action, enthusiasm, expression, and also strong activation. This week's astrology includes:- Mercury moves into Aries (and will conjunct Neptune in Pisces & sextile Pluto in Aquarius): Quick thinking, inspired talks, rapid insights, a shift in your perception around issues that have been uncertain or ambiguous for the past month or two. Watch for changes in your dreams, thoughts, & daydreams - and what they may be saying to you now.- Mars moves into Leo (and will oppose Pluto in Aquarius & trine Neptune in Aries): Excitement! Enthusiasm to act, share, express, and be creative in ways that are deeply meaningful to you. Possibly compelled to get something off your chest. Connecting to your power, vitality, courage, and desire to fight for what's important to you.- Sun moves into Taurus: Conscious focus on rooting in, developing and stabilizing. Finding meaningful experiences via the material and sensory world.- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: This is a dynamic, energizing, and enlivening combo! It may be quite activating and spur you into action or bring up strong emotions. Possibility for unconscious patterns to arise around power, manipulation, shame, or control. Notice what activates you and give your feelings space to exist. Also symbolizes things like occultism, deep emotional healing, and underworld journeys that bring you closer to your true self.- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Emotional connection to the deeper more intimate parts of yourself and your authentic nature. Deciding what you want to focus on now that is most important to you.- Juno Asteroid (retrograde) moves back into Scorpio: Reconnecting with your inner resilience - especially around issues of intimacy, bonding deeply with other people, and how you move through the varied challenges of long-term commitments. Juno in Scorpio is about the dance between distance and closeness in relationships; and how we can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and depend on others.Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

In this gripping episode, best-selling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel sits down with Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley to unpack his most personal and provocative project yet—Seeing the Supernatural: Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-Death Encounters, and Other Mysteries of the Unseen World. Strobel, known for The Case for Christ, brings his legal mind and journalistic rigor to topics many believers shy away from—yet are desperate to understand.Why do so many people, even nonbelievers, report deathbed visions, angelic encounters, or near-death experiences that eerily align with biblical truths? Strobel shares riveting, documented accounts—from blind individuals gaining sight during clinical death to children describing angels with surprising biblical accuracy. And in a culture fascinated by the paranormal but increasingly distant from faith, Strobel explains how the supernatural may be the bridge to a deeper spiritual awakening.Jen shares her own awe and urgency, pointing to Scriptures many churches gloss over and reminding listeners that signs, wonders, and miracles aren't just relics of the past—they're promises for every believer today. Billy draws attention to the cultural irony: Hollywood embraces the demonic, while parts of the Church shy away from talking about the spiritual realm at all.From skepticism to belief, from Sunday school stories to peer-reviewed evidence, this conversation will challenge you to reevaluate what you believe about the invisible world—and why it matters for your walk with God today. Whether you're a doubter, a seeker, or a sold-out believer, this episode will stir your soul and ignite your imagination.

The 2004 encounter between U.S. Navy aviators and a mysterious TIC TAC shaped craft off the coast of Southern California was perhaps the most consequential UFO incident in history, but it wasn't just a one-off. Turns out, classic designs such as the SR-71, the Corvette Sting Ray, or a pair of Wayfarers never go out of style. Whoever was piloting TIC TACs back in 2004 is apparently still cruising the waters off SoCal. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George unveil a never-before-seen video recorded by crew members of the USS Jackson in February 2023. Witnesses say they saw four of the TIC TAC objects flying in formation. At least one of the self-illuminated craft was seen as it emerged from the ocean. Two of them were recorded by astonished crew members inside the ship's command center. Who is flying these odd objects and why was this incident not reported up the chain of command or to AARO? Check out the exclusive video and additional info about the encounter.

Poltergeists. Reptilians. Shadow people. Ghosts. For two decades, Julie lived in fear — but what if it wasn't just one of these, but all of them? Or was it something else entirely?Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: If you've listened to Weird Darkness for any length of time, you know that I will often suggest someone who has had a paranormal disturbance in their home or life, reach out to a pastor or priest for guidance. But what exactly happens when the Catholic Church starts investigating the paranormal? (When The Catholic Church Goes Ghost Hunting) *** Many states around America say they have the most haunted road in the country. And while the words “most haunted” are somewhat subjective, it's hard not to see why people outside of Chicago consider Archer Avenue not only the top spooky street in America, but the most haunted on the planet. (The Anguish Of Archer Avenue) *** After allegedly murdering her husband in 1960, Sharon Kinne shot her lover's pregnant wife. Then, she evaded justice and escaped to Mexico only to kill again — before vanishing without a trace. (The American Murderess Who Disappeared in 1969) *** Modern courtrooms aren't equipped or knowledgable enough to determine whether or not ghosts are real, but that hasn't stopped ghosts from appearing in several court cases! (Court Cases Involving Ghosts) *** When you hear of a two-headed creature you typically think of two heads side-by-side growing from the neck and shoulders area. But have you ever heard of a creature growing another head on the very top of it's other head? It happened… and not to just any creature. It was a human boy who lived much longer than anyone expected. (The Bengal Boy With Two Heads) *** Buried alive inside the castle walls, the Finnish Maiden immured still haunts the medieval building of Olavinlinna Castle. (The Maiden of Olavinlinna Castle) *** The case of “Julie” from Carlisle in the United Kingdom is an intriguing one not only because it unfolded over many years, but because it appears to straddle the line between apparent reptilian entities and paranormal activity.

"My whole body is shaking. I'm full-blown sobbing. I run out of the church, leaving my mom, son, and girlfriend flipping out because they know that I just saw something in church." ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here. While recording episode 357, I had no idea how deeply it would affect listeners. One of them, my friend, Doug George, had to stop listening—it hit too close to home. Like Tom, Doug saw his deceased father… in church, bathed in light. In that moment, he felt it all—closure, forgiveness, love. Doug shares his journey of growing up with a unpredictable dad, caring for him during his final months with dementia, and finally experiencing healing in that holy encounter. Both Doug and Tom found peace in church—a reminder that healing flows from the heart of the Church, and through Jesus, we come to know not only our Heavenly Father… but our earthly ones too. ---------- Come with us to Medjugorje:  https://www.ctscentral.net/travel-tours/60th-anniversary-pilgrimage-to-medugorje  ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

Our pets do more than keep us company—they protect us from unseen forces, deliver messages from the beyond, and sometimes reveal a little too much about the paranormal world.
