The USS Batfish, a decorated World War II submarine credited with sinking three enemy subs in just 76 hours, is now permanently docked in Muskogee, Oklahoma as a museum piece. But visitors say the steel vessel carries more than history within its hull — it carries something darker. During an October 2016 paranormal investigation under a full moon, a small team joined a local ghost-hunting group to explore the sub. At first, the EVP sessions were quiet. Then, deep in the torpedo compartment, the temperature dropped, the air grew heavy and suffocating, and the ghost box began to spit out a strange guttural voice. Hoping to clear their heads, the group stepped outside onto the lawn under the bright moonlight. That's when the ghost box erupted again — this time with haunting screams, the word “fire,” and cries of agony that sounded like echoes of sailors lost in battle. They've never returned to the Batfish — convinced it's a magnet for dark energy and a graveyard of restless voices. #HauntedSubmarine #USSBatfish #WWIIHaunting #GhostBoxVoices #DemonicPresence #HauntedOklahoma #ParanormalInvestigation #EVPsession #HistoricHauntings #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Wearing the CMO+ hat rewires the role. You pick up a second lane, your calendar tightens, and perceptions shift from “just the marketer,” a label no one should wear, to business leader.

In this episode, Drew sits down with Sandy Ono, EVP and CMO at OpenText, who leads global marketing across ten business units while also owning partnerships and alliances. She treats both as one go-to-market, aligning partners and the field around a single story, running the forecast together, and keeping a steady rhythm so co-selling and co-marketing stay aimed at the same targets. Three Actions Behind Sandy's CMO+ Success: Mindset: Claim growth as the job and step closer to revenue through partnerships Skillset: Learn forecasting, deal construction, and the weekly rigor of partner sales Toolset: Build the operating rhythm that connects co-selling, co-marketing, and accountability at scale Plus: How to choose a plus that aligns with company growth priorities How to juggle both roles with capacity planning and clear priorities How to protect brand integrity while telling a shared story with partners How to measure progress with sourced pipeline, influenced revenue, retention, and feedback loops into product Weighing a plus or already living one? You'll find proven moves here. If you're a B2B CMO, you can meet Sandy and another 100 incredible marketing leaders at the CMO Super Huddle in Palo Alto, California on November 6th and 7th.

Patricia Frost, EVP and CHRO of Seagate, is one of the most fascinating and highest-performing CHROs we've met. Patricia has decades of experience as a US Army military leader, most recently as Director of Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Information Operations. How does her extensive military, warfare, and leadership experience pay off? As you'll hear, Patricia is a hands-on leader, ready to make decisions and challenge dogma in dozens of important ways. In many ways she exemplifies the future leadership model for all C-level leaders, especially the CHRO. Patricia shares how she is navigating the opportunities presented by AI, reshaping talent strategies, and fostering a culture of innovation. Her background as a senior military leader prepared her to build on the team available today, supporting employee mobility, agility, and HR capabilities. Notable Quotes “You go to combat with the team you have, not necessarily the team you want. You can't just hire in someone and say I want to bring you in my team and put you in close combat. Your team is your team. And you build that team. You build on their skill sets. We do a lot of upskilling in the military. It's your team. You know everyone's strengths and weaknesses.” “Middle managers are really the powerhouse of any company. And I don't know that we spend enough time on our managers, probably our frontline managers, and then the middle management. How well do they understand their teams and the skills within their teams and understand also what people are passionate about? Where would they like to go? What opportunities can be open to them?” “I am front and center. I think every CHRO needs to be front and center in the AI conversation. They need to be leading. They need to be talking about, will AI take away certain functions within HR? First, we had to take the anxiety down from our workforce. So my approach this year is leave no one behind. I am going to give everyone the opportunity. We're going to give everyone the same set of tools and training, and I will help you get there. Everyone has a choice.” Like this podcast?

As AI becomes more fluent, empathetic, and embedded in communication workflows, healthcare's relationship with voice, empathy, and trust is being redefined. In this episode, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith explore the coming shift where technology mediates the patient experience itself, interpreting emotions, intent, and tone.They discuss: The Signals – Why early pilots in AI-driven communication are signaling a shift from automation to authorship, and what it means when AI can shape the tone of care. The Scenarios – Three futures for healthcare: The Empathic Mediator, where AI bridges patients and systems; The Voice Overload, where empathy fatigue sets in; and The Ethical Frontier, where transparency becomes healthcare's new trust currency. The Brand Voice Paradox – How AI as both author and amplifier challenges traditional notions of authenticity, and why marketers must move from managing tone consistency to ensuring voice integrity. In the expert interview, Stephanie Wierwille, EVP of Engagement at BPD Healthcare, shares her perspective on how AI will reshape creativity, communication, and the psychology of trust, and why healthcare marketers must lead this next transformation.

CHROs today face a pressing mandate: how to build cultures of clarity and belonging while navigating hybrid work, rising employee expectations, and the disruptive pace of AI. The risk of drifting into transactional cultures is real, yet so is the opportunity to shape organizations where culture drives performance and technology enables growth. The question for CHROs is, how do you create alignment while preparing your workforce for what's next? In this episode, Paulo Pisano, EVP and CHRO at Booking Holdings—and the leader shaping the Future of Work for 24,000 employees—shares how culture and AI intersect to redefine leadership. He explains why culture is ultimately about how people get things done, why clarity is the cornerstone of inclusion, and what it means to bring your “whole professional self” to work. Paulo also addresses polarizing topics at work, the trade-offs of remote versus office culture, and how employee sentiment, trust in leadership, and decision effectiveness can be measured as cultural indicators. Finally, he offers a forward-looking view on how generative and agentic AI—through both HR applications and customer-facing tools—are accelerating productivity and experimentation, and what this means for reskilling and the future role of HR in shaping culture. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Once a lively gathering spot filled with music, laughter, and late-night crowds, the roadhouse has become just as well-known for the spirits that never seemed to leave as it is for its long and colorful past. In this week's episode of the *222 Paranormal Podcast*, we dive headfirst into the chilling lore, eerie encounters, and paranormal investigations that surround this mysterious landmark. What makes the Rock Island Roadhouse stand out isn't just its vintage character or storied history—it's the countless reports of unexplained activity that continue to this day. For decades, patrons and staff alike have shared unsettling tales: phantom footsteps echoing across empty rooms, strange cold drafts sweeping through hallways, doors slamming shut on their own, and even full-bodied apparitions appearing in the shadows. Some guests report hearing disembodied voices whispering their names, while others claim to have felt unseen hands brush against their arms. Many investigators have walked into the building expecting just another ghost hunt, only to leave with bone-chilling stories of their own. But what is it about this location that stirs up so much spiritual energy? Some believe it is tied to the building's long history of music, bar fights, and tragedy—emotions forever imprinted on the walls. Others think the land itself carries an energy that amplifies paranormal activity. The Roadhouse has stood through the passage of time, hosting generations of locals, travelers, and performers, each leaving behind a piece of themselves. Perhaps some of those pieces never fully departed. During our conversation, we share firsthand accounts of investigations inside the Roadhouse, including startling EVP recordings, strange temperature drops, and unexplained flashes of light caught on camera. We also explore the stories of those who claim to have had life-changing encounters while visiting. Did they meet the spirit of a former bartender? A lost patron who never found their way home? Or perhaps something older, something darker, that predates the roadhouse altogether? As always, we look at the balance between folklore and fact. Every haunted building carries its legends, but when the same stories are repeated time and time again by unrelated witnesses, we have to wonder—could this be proof that the Rock Island Roadhouse truly is a hotspot for supernatural activity? Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who just loves a good ghost story, this episode is packed with chilling details and thought-provoking questions. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and join us as we unlock the mysteries of the **Rock Island Roadhouse**, one of the Midwest's most haunted establishments.

What begins as family superstition (her nan and grandad who “felt” things) turns into something far darker: a series of chilling encounters inside a modern, five-year-old house that make her question reality. First, it's a quilt that lifts as if someone crawled into bed, then a red-hooded figure standing at the foot of the mattress. Later came crushing sleep paralysis episodes, phantom footsteps up the stairs, and an omnipresent sensation of being watched — gone as soon as she leaves the front door. Jules confides in Mark, her boyfriend, who felt the pressure on his legs once, but she's the one targeted night after night. This is not your typical haunted house tale — it's a real haunting inside a brand-new build, where residual energy, a possible attachment, or something far more sinister follows her into the dark. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be trapped between disbelief and terror, this true story will land like a cold hand on your shoulder. No cameras caught it, no EVP session proved it — just convincing, personal testimony that feeds into the question: when something watches you every time you turn on a light, what choice do you have?

A tour of the notoriously haunted SK Pierce Mansion ends with strange energy shifts, payment glitches, and a chilling face appearing in a window photo. From the infamous Sally House, a recorder plays back an eerie little girl's singing while the house was empty. Security footage from a Pennsylvania shop shows unexplained glowing shapes floating through the room like ghostly fish. We laughed, we screamed, and we realized ghosts might be better at selfies than we are. Get tickets to the October 8th live show here. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE In the heart of rural America, hidden among the fields of Blue Hill, Nebraska, stands a farmhouse with a chilling past. For over 120 years, it held its secrets—until one man made a discovery that would change everything. Deep in the cellar, the new homeowner unearthed a mysterious old wooden box. Inside were strange and unsettling items: part of a cryptic book, a piece of coal, and a doll unlike anything he had ever seen. Unsure of what he had stumbled upon, he reached out to paranormal investigators Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan. What followed would become the chilling documentary A Haunting in Blue Hill. The film chronicles their investigation into the box and the house itself, as the team—joined by Anna Meyer Evans and Madison Flewelling—uncovers disturbing connections between the objects and restless spirits. EVP sessions, unexplained movements, and encounters with energies tied not only to the items but to the very land itself unfold on camera. Was the box a ritual object? A cursed collection? Or simply a forgotten relic that carried with it the energy of tragedy and despair? The answers, revealed through the haunting investigation, leave more questions than they resolve. Join us as we sit down with the filmmakers and investigators to discuss A Haunting in Blue Hill—a true story of discovery, mystery, and contact with the other side. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This unsettling true ghost story follows one person's long, escalating encounters with a presence that moved through cities and old houses, refusing to be rationalized away. What begins as the creaks and drafts of an aging Philadelphia rowhouse soon becomes something far darker: utensils sliding, toys placed with intent, lights that explode in bright shrapnel, and a bathtub that runs for hours with no explanation. Listeners who crave haunted house accounts, real hauntings, and first-person paranormal testimony will find this episode impossible to ignore. The narrator chronicles how small, uncanny details stacked into undeniable patterns—dog toys balanced on windowsills, shadows seen in mirrors, and a named presence they jokingly called “Charlie.” Technology fails to comfort: motion cameras capture overexposed flares, fogged frames, and EM surges where electricians find nothing wrong. Friends and roommates become witnesses; a local paranormal researcher records unexplained spikes but offers no tidy answers. This episode is as much about the psychological toll as it is about the spectacle of hauntings: sleepless nights, panic attacks, grounding techniques, and the rituals people cling to for safety. It explores whether the phenomenon is tied to place or person, and what it means when a dead relative's voice starts delivering impossible truths in dreams. For fans of EVP, shadow figures, and haunting investigations, this is a cinematic, hair-raising account of living with a presence that won't leave. Subscribe and listen closely—because sometimes the scariest thing isn't the house, it's what follows you home. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealHaunting #Paranormal #EVP #ShadowPerson #HomeHaunting #NightTerrors #UrbanLegend #GhostEncounter #HauntedRowhouse #GhostlyPresence Love real ghost stories?

In this episode of TECHtonic, TSIA's Executive Director and EVP, Thomas Lah, sits down with Srikrishnan Ganesan, Co-founder and CEO of Rocketlane, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping professional services, customer onboarding, and the broader technology landscape.From Salesforce replacing thousands of support roles with AI agents, to Rocketlane's own AI-powered documentation and project delivery tools, Ganesan shares how the next generation of platforms will help companies not just manage work—but do the work. Together, they discuss:Why onboarding is really a customer's “second sale.”How AI can shrink service project timelines from months to weeks—while unlocking new revenue opportunities.The blurring lines between professional services, customer success, and product adoption.Why the future of services won't disappear but will pivot toward business outcomes, value realization, and AI-enabled scale.Tune in for a forward-looking conversation on whether software eats services—or whether AI is creating a bold, new services era.
Grief can make the world feel uncanny — and sometimes the uncanny feels like comfort. In this episode we hear from multiple listeners whose lives were changed by strange coincidences and possible messages from the other side. One woman flies across the country after her father dies and begins seeing small, specific signs: the Breakfast Club song playing at impossible moments, a yellow balloon that bursts on the exact anniversary, a mysterious phone ring that shouldn't have connected — and recurring dreams where Dad insists, “I'm not dead… I faked my death.” Are these comforting visitations, or our minds searching for connection? We also debate memorial choices: cremation keepsakes and urn jewelry that let families carry a piece of a loved one, and whether that matters to the departed. Then we shift to other eerie submissions — a college Christmas with a Polaroid that keeps ending up in the trash, an EVP capture that sounds like a chilling whisper, and a man who kept seeing the synchronicity number 11:11 during a terrifying medical scare. When a tiny cross gifted by a sister shows up at the exact moment of difficult biopsy news, coincidence becomes consolation. Are these supernatural signs, psychological comfort, or meaningful synchronicities? We don't have definitive answers — only the real, moving stories people send in when they want to know if they're still being watched over. Tune in for comfort, goosebumps, and the tender strangeness that shows up after loss. #SignsFromBeyond #GriefStories #Synchronicity #11_11 #EVP #TrueGhostStories #CremationJewelry #RealHauntings #ComfortFromBeyond #RealGhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?

What does it really take to lead one of the world's largest organizations through massive disruption and into the future? When the business collapsed overnight during the pandemic, CHRO and EVP of Global Operations Services Ty Breland helped steer Marriott through the crisis while reshaping how leaders think about resilience and growth. In this episode, he offers a blueprint for balancing authenticity, technology, and human connection in times of change. We explore how Marriott navigated the crisis and built resilience for the future. Ty stresses that well-being must expand beyond physical health to include financial and mental dimensions, and that leaders need to move from annual surveys to real-time listening so employees feel genuinely heard. On technology, his philosophy is clear: be “tech-enabled but human-centered,” which means to automate repetitive tasks but protect space for authentic human connection. He also reframes change management as “change acceleration,” built on alignment over consensus and fueled by healthy debate. To prepare for what's ahead, Ty emphasizes developing workforces that are curious, courageous, and collaborative—equipped to treat change as a constant and ready to adapt through agile scenario planning. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
