Podcasts about encounters

From upright-walking apes to goatmen and beasts that resemble werewolves, our world seems rife with a host of frightening forms that occasionally cross paths with everyday people. Known as cryptids, these mysterious creatures may defy scientific explanation, yet they have been reported by countless credible witnesses who stand behind their experience.Joining me to share some of the first hand encounters included in his latest book is Lyle Blackburn and we discuss some of the terrifying stories shared with him in this collection of cryptid chaos.

Are you being set up? In this week of our series, "Encounters with Jesus," we dive into Matthew 4 to look at the infamous showdown between Jesus and the devil in the wilderness. Often, we think temptation is just about breaking rules—but it's actually a calculated attack on our identity. When you are hungry, tired, and isolated, you become a sitting duck for the enemy. Through the three specific traps laid for Jesus, we discover the exact blueprint the enemy uses against us today: the temptation to be satisfied, the temptation to be awesome, and the temptation to be powerful.If the enemy wanted to catch you, what bait would he use? Watch to learn how to identify the triggers, illusions, and rationalizations of temptation, and how to stand firm on the truth of God's Word.

They also talk about some rather inventive ways to potentially avoid those run-ins that you just know will lead to awkward and potentially long conversations. Teacher burnout is real, and our panel explores why even brief encounters outside of the classroom can lead to overstimulation. From there the conversation gets even wilder as our teachers get into a discussion about all the ways they used to cheat in school and how kids these days just don't measure up. Plus there's some great back and forth about the future of education, the laughability of putting robots in the classroom, and what to make of AI in general.

Encounters with Jesus: Part 2 - Dear Weary Soul - Pastor Andrew DamazioThis week, Pastor Andrew walked through Jesus' encounter with the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5:1–15, reminding us that Jesus meets us in our weariness, disappointment, and longing for change. Through this powerful story, we see that God's greatest work in our lives is not simply changing our circumstances, but drawing us into deeper faith and trust in Him.Want to connect more with Rose Church?

Nevena, Macca and Paul are joined live on air by Josh Cox, an Olive Albino Python and a Barking Owl. Josh's philosophy is simple. ‘As a a society we are disconnected from nature. The advent of technology has changed the way we live, it has changed the way we interact, and it has jammed a wedge between us and nature'. ‘Children, from the time they are born, are now inundated with technology. It has gone well beyond the 30 minutes of watching Playschool that was the norm a generation ago. As we've become increasingly disconnected from our world and nature, the state of the planet has declined at quite a rapid rate. The threat of climate change is at our door. We are on the precipice of a mass extinction. If as a society we are disconnected from nature, we are not going to have the impetus to want to protect the planet'. Josh goes on to say, ‘I started Reptile Encounters because I want to give students the chance to connect with nature. I believe that people need to have that ‘inspire' moment to be able to make the connection for themselves. By meeting animals in the flesh we engender a respect for our environment and equip students to make a difference!' Open to the public by appointment ONLY! Reptile Encounters was founded in 2007 and is now in its 17th year of operation. Founder Josh Cox has had a lifelong love of Australian wildlife and was keen to have his own business and share his passion with the public. Initially, Reptile Encounters began with Josh as the sole presenter of reptile shows and a small collection of animals. He operated from home, and the majority of his business was weekend birthday parties. However it wasn't long before schools began enquiring and the focus of the business has gradually shifted. Josh quit his pharmaceutical sales job in 2009 to run Reptile Encounters full time and is now offering reptile parties for kids, corporate events & team building activities.

Indonesia has the highest number of crocodile attacks on people in the world. However, experts do not see the cause solely in the behavior of reptiles. As a result of the progressive destruction of mangrove forests and wetlands for mining projects and palm oil plantations, many animals are losing their natural habitat. The result: Encounters between humans and crocodiles are increasing — often with fatal consequences. The conflict shows how closely environmental destruction, biodiversity loss and population security are linked. - Indonesien verzeichnet weltweit die höchste Zahl von Krokodilangriffen auf Menschen. Experten sehen die Ursache jedoch nicht allein im Verhalten der Reptilien. Durch die fortschreitende Zerstörung von Mangrovenwäldern und Feuchtgebieten für Bergbauprojekte und Palmölplantagen verlieren viele Tiere ihren natürlichen Lebensraum. Die Folge: Begegnungen zwischen Menschen und Krokodilen nehmen zu – oft mit tödlichem Ausgang. Der Konflikt verdeutlicht, wie eng Umweltzerstörung, Artenverlust und die Sicherheit der Bevölkerung miteinander verbunden sind.

This week, we're pulling off the road. The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip takes a short break so I can open the inbox and share five Sasquatch encounters sent to me by listeners from five different states, spanning more than twenty-five years.A deer hunter in Michigan's Upper Peninsula gets paced through the dark in November of nineteen ninety-four by something that matches his footsteps and then corrects him with one extra step. A woman living alone in Oregon's Coast Range in two thousand eight tracks her dog's strange refusals on a kitchen calendar until the night something looks through the top of a seven-foot window.Two brothers running trotlines on an Oklahoma river in nineteen eighty-seven watch something cross knee-deep through a hole they wade waist-deep, then hear a second scream answer from their own bank. A pipeline surveyor working alone in the West Virginia hollows in twenty fifteen finds his survey stakes extracted, his wooden lath twisted like a wrung-out rag, and finally locks eyes with what's been undoing his work.And a father and son at a remote Maine ice fishing camp in February of two thousand one listen through one inch of spruce planking as something lifts the cinder block off their fish box and sets it down gently. Five witnesses who don't know each other, most of whom asked me to hide their names, all carrying stories they held onto for years before telling a stranger. If you have an encounter of your own, send it to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com.

John Maytham speaks to Mary Beard | Author, about a book that is as much about curiosity and wonder as it is about history itself. From childhood museum encounters to the enduring political use—and misuse—of Greece and Rome, Beard reflects on why the ancient world still speaks to us in unexpected ways, and why it refuses to sit quietly in the past.

Some listener questions come in and just HAVE to be answered. This was the case with a question that came in from longtime friend of the show, Dr. DM himself, Jason. His son's school D&D club was planning a seriously epic finale to multiple campaign tables in a stupendous one-shot. Everything was gong well until the head DM brought their BBEG… we'll let Jason tell you the rest.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to discuss what makes a good finale, a good BBEG, and best practices for collaborating with multiple DMs. Not surprisingly, it always comes down to communication. 1:50 Dr. DM's question about an insane BBEG for his son's school D&D Club Finale.7:00 The concept of the finale game sounds AWESOME! But if you're doing a collaboration, you have to collaborate.8:45 Benchmarking when creating homebrewed monsters.10:00 The BBEG should matter in each of the separate campaigns storylines.11:05 In our Curse of Strahd finale, the players mowed through 2000 hit points in a session… that's still 128,000 to go.14:25 Monsters aren't just bags of hit points to soak up damage.20:30 With collaborative storytelling, keep lines of communication open. 22:15 Encounters and finales are meant to be challenging and epic… not impossible. Make it so that they have to really think their way through the encounter, not just swing their biggest attack every time.30:05 In the end, it's always about communication around the table and behind the screen.31:55 What is the theme and story for the finale?34:15 “Appropriately-Sized Encounters.” If there is no win condition, then you're just whipping on your players.37:35 A finale, even if it spans different worlds, should matter to the players in each of their individual campaigns as well.40:15 A campaign that wipes in a TPK isn't necessarily as cool as you think it might be.43:00 Final Thoughts.

What if pilgrimage is not primarily about reaching a destination, but about learning how to be addressed by reality again? In this episode of Lectern Dialogues, John Vervaeke speaks with Ish Peregrino, a practitioner, facilitator, and pilgrim whose very chosen name carries the meaning of pilgrimage. John met Ish during his own pilgrimage in Spain, and their conversation returns to the question of what pilgrimage makes possible: spiritually, psychologically, relationally, and culturally. Ish begins by describing his background in contemplative practice, community work, Latin American and Asian contexts, and his long apprenticeship under a teacher who exposed him to Hindu, Buddhist, Zen, ecological, and indigenous traditions. This opens into a discussion of the "beyond human": the sacred, the more-than-human world, distributed intelligence in community, and the goodness that calls a person toward transformation. The heart of the conversation is pilgrimage. John proposes pilgrimage as a meta-practice: a living practice that places one's whole ecology of practices under a kind of positive stress test. Ish extends this by describing how pilgrimage changes one's environment, identity, pace, attention, and relationship to grief. It is not merely a practice added to life, but a passage that can reshape the life to which one returns. The conversation then contrasts the pilgrim with the tourist and the explorer. Tourism seeks experience and pleasure; exploration seeks conquest, achievement, and control. Pilgrimage, by contrast, is marked by participation, willingness, availability, receptivity, reverence, and deep listening. It is not just movement through space, but a transformation in the way the world is allowed to speak. Toward the end, John and Ish explore pilgrimage's relationship to God, sacredness, memory, dreams, community, and integration. Ish offers one of the conversation's most memorable images: after pilgrimage, the path was still walking him in his dreams. The episode closes with the claim that pilgrimage is not only for the Camino or other famous routes. It is a way of relating differently to what is already around us: with attention, reverence, openness, and love. Key Insights Pilgrimage can function as a meta-practice that renews and tests an ecology of practices. Transformative experiences require humility, discernment, grounding, community, and integration. Tourism, exploration, and pilgrimage represent different forms of attention and agency. The pilgrim is moved less by will than by willingness, availability, and receptivity. Pilgrimage can awaken a deeper relationship to God, sacredness, land, grief, and community. The return from pilgrimage is not an afterthought; integration is central to whether revelation becomes transformation. Pilgrimage can be practiced locally through reverence, attention, threshold-crossing, and renewed relationship.

For more than 22 years, he has worked across Latin America, the United States, Spain, and Greece in universities, executive programs, organizations, and liminal spaces where real transformation tends to happen.

“This huge thing was standing in the road. It had to be at least seven or 8 feet tall, and the arms were so long they were down to its knees.  You couldn't see the face because there was hair all over it. It was actually running toward our car. It was awful.” – from Terrifying Encounters by Lyle BlackburnNo one knows more about the strange creatures that lurk the backroads, swamps and forests of America than Lyle Blackburn. You probably know him from his appearances on “Astonishing Legends”, “Finding Bigfoot” and “The UnXplained with William Shatner”. Ever since seeing The Legend of Boggy Creek as a small child, Lyle has been obsessed with unknown creatures -- and he grew up to be the world's foremost expert on the Fouke Monster, the beast featured in the movie.Lyle has written numerous books about monsters in America and “Terrifying Encounters” is his latest. It's the first in a series and it features fascinating and truly terrifying first-hand accounts of encounters with creatures that shouldn't exist -- but somehow do.Our conversation covers everything from Dogmen to Goatmen, to the differences between a Devil Monkey and an Anomalous Ape, to his own terrifying encounter in the backwoods of Arkansas -- to whether Bigfoot will ever finally be captured.Notes & Links:Buy Terrifying Encounters and all of Lyle Blackburn's books here http://www.lyleblackburn.com/bio.htmSupport RHPB on Patreon here! https://patreon.com/RichardHatem?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkCelebrate 2026 with 26% off all RHPB merch with offer code RHPB26!

You all asked for this paranormal fever dream, and we're delivering. This episode is packed with haunted New Orleans encounters that will make you want to book a flight and immediately cleanse your suitcase afterward. We're talking ghostly figures caught in cemetery photos, possible time slips in the French Quarter, voodoo museums with seriously heavy energy, a Rougarou sighting, haunted hotels, and the very real fear that something paranormal might hitch a ride home with you after a weekend in the Big Easy. NOLA encounters include: A visit to a New Orleans voodoo museum is followed by a terrifying late night encounter with a towering horned entity standing beside a listener's bed. A cemetery tour photo captures what looks like a ghostly woman charging straight toward the crowd. Two friends experience what feels like a time slip after getting mysteriously transported nearly an hour away while walking through the French Quarter. A possible Rougarou sighting leaves one listener convinced something with glowing red eyes was stalking her from the shadows. A haunted French Quarter school becomes the setting for repeated encounters with the ghost of a floating little girl. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

UFO disclosure and government transparency collide when a Daily Mail investigation exposing the CIA's secret Office of Global Access is quietly scrubbed from the internet. Investigative journalist Matt Ford reveals how a human—not an algorithm—likely deleted the story, breaking down the mechanics of institutional silencing and what it tells us about pentagon secrecy in the age of "transparency" on UFOs and aliens.  When whistleblower protection fails, journalism becomes the last line of defense.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-trouble-show-unidentified-flying-objects-ufo-disclosure--5808897/support.JOIN US:  https://www.thegoodtroubleshow.com

In this episode, Brian sits down with author and researcher Norman Solie for the first half of their conversation, focused entirely on the encounters and experiences that pulled Norman into the world of Sasquatch research.Norman traces his fascination back to childhood, when he first saw the Patterson-Gimlin film while growing up in Washington. That early impression stayed with him, but it was a solo backpacking trip in 1980 to a remote lake in the Cascade Mountains that would leave him with questions he could not easily dismiss.During that trip, Norman heard a chilling wail in the night, discovered a large muddy footprint near his tent, and was overcome by an urgent, unexplainable feeling that he needed to leave immediately. As he made his way out, the sound of breaking branches behind him only deepened the mystery.After stepping away from the subject in the mid-1980s, Norman's interest was reignited years later during a 2006 retreat in Illinois, where he witnessed a small, black, fuzzy-edged figure watching people from a distance.What first seemed strange and difficult to explain would later lead him to consider the possibility that he had seen a juvenile Sasquatch.Norman also shares a series of unusual experiences from Alaska and Massachusetts, including the feeling of being watched, possible structures, tracks, scat, tree breaks, strange vocalizations, possible eye shine, and unexplained knocks both near his home and along trails around his remote cabin. This is Part 1 of Brian's conversation with Norman Solie, centered on Norman's personal encounters and field experiences. Part 2 airs this Sunday and will focus on Norman's book, Before Patty Volume One: Patrick The Sasquatch/Human Hybrid & Our Genetic Inheritance.

We went all in on the spooky this week with listener encounters that seriously tested our bravery, diving into stories of possession, demons and exorcisms. These experiences had everything that keeps us up at night, like eerie 3:33 a.m. wakeups, haunted mirrors, sleepwalking trances, years long demonic attachments, physical injuries from paranormal attacks and so much more. Plus, rare moments where protective forces intervene. A listener wakes at 3:33 a.m. to a blood-curdling scream, is pulled into a trance and faces a chained, monstrous entity in an antique mirror. One listener performed multiple exorcisms as a teen, and battled demonic forces that caused objects to levitate and people to speak in unknown languages. Strange astral experiences lead one person to unknowingly cross into a dangerous space, after which both she and her sister experience physical and emotional attacks. Another listener details a lifelong attachment from a high-ranking demon that appeared in dreams, sent smaller entities to torment her, and threatened to claim her soul. A terrifying pattern of sleepwalking and astral projection leads one storyteller to open the wrong “door,” inviting something dark that begins targeting both her and her sister.

We are diving into spine-tingling listener encounters where beloved pets become unexpected guardians, mediums and witnesses to the unknown, blending cozy fur-baby nostalgia with genuine terror. These psychic cats, ghostly farmhands and supernatural guard dogs remind us that animals sense far more than we ever could. And sometimes they're the only thing standing between us and whatever is watching. Stories include: A cat refuses to let his owner leave the house, only for her to later discover she narrowly avoided a fatal car accident at the exact time she would have been on the road. A friendly, ghostly farmhand named Fred rattles stall doors, tidies hay, and quietly watches over horses and barn cats like a paranormal stable manager. A pet sitter describes staying in centuries-old homes where unseen entities slam doors, mimic entire kitchens in motion, and even sit on the bed beside her. A listener explains how multiple animals in one home locked their gaze on the same invisible presence, leaving her as the only one unable to see what was there. One listener shares growing up with a protective dog named Holly who barked at a dark presence that eventually escalated to physically pulling her from the bed. Watch the video version here.
