Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. The first of a series of six episodes recorded during the pilgrimage ‘In the Footsteps of the Buddha’, this instalment was made in Varanasi, India, in February 2026. In this opening episode, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino are joined by Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to discuss the importance of understanding the Buddha as a fully human being; a boat journey on the sacred Ganges river at sunrise, from which it was possible to witness cremation and devotion; teachings on death and impermanence as daily practice; the importance of living in the present moment; and much more.The speakers also share personal experiences and reflections on their spiritual journeys, the role played by the community, and the continuation of the Buddha’s teachings through their own lives and practice.About the pilgrimage: In 1988, Shantum Seth was invited by Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) to organize a pilgrimage to the sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life across India. Subsequently, Thay encouraged Shantum to continue guiding such journeys each year, offering pilgrimage itself as a mindfulness practice—one that the Buddha had suggested. Shantum has been leading these transformative journeys ever since, offering people from around the world the opportunity to follow In the Footsteps of the Buddha with awareness and insight. After 15 years at the United Nations, Shantum left to volunteer with the Ahimsa Trust, which represents Thay's work in India and promotes the practice of “peace in oneself and peace in the world”. Through Buddhapath, his expression of Right Livelihood, Shantum continues to guide pilgrimages and share the wisdom and culture of the places he visits in India and across Buddhist Asia, cultivating community through these deeply meaningful journeys.To learn more about upcoming pilgrimages, visit www.buddhapath.com, or follow Shantum on Facebook and Instagram at @eleven_directions. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition.

Every breath is an offering.” “The transformation is both individual and collective – and not just right now; it is something which seeps into our understanding and informs our life. The real journey begins when you get home. When you see your familiar surroundings with these pilgrimage lenses, those are very, very important moments. When you see your familiar surroundings slightly differently, and you see what brings you suffering, what brings you joy, what brings a sense of ease, then you can tweak your life.” “Siddhartha always says, ‘I’m on this path not for power, not for leadership, but to find liberation within us.' And that means we have to be ready to let go of all of the ideology that we have received from our ancestors, not from just us, but from the lineage of our whole ancestors and society.” “We can be free amidst the suffering. We can still find our calm, our peace with every storm that arises, that manifests. We find a way to understand it, to embrace it even, because we see that that storm is a part of us.” “In the Mahaparinirvāṇa Sutta, the Buddha said, ‘Go to the places where I was born, died, where the first teachings were given, where I awakened.' But I think he’s saying, ‘Leave your familiar surroundings and explore, and you’ll find different seeds in your consciousness being touched, which are not touched when you go every day to work or in your familiar surroundings.' And that is the learning of yourself. It’s an interior journey on this exterior part.” “In India, your path to God is through your guru – but in the Buddha Dharma, the guru shows you the path, and you walk it. In the classic example of the Buddha pointing to the moon, he says, ‘Don’t get caught looking at my finger; look at the moon.'” “Somebody once asked Thay, ‘What happens when we die?' He said, ‘I don’t know, but I can tell you what happens when we’re alive.'” “The only ingredient that you have any control about for the future is the present. We can only act in the present. As you know, the past is gone, the future is an idea – but all these situations that arise in our lives, how do we respond appropriately? With ethics, with a sense of calm, with a sense of love, how can we respond appropriately to each situation? Because that is the ingredient for the future.” “The Buddha is saying, ‘Stay open, stay alive. This is the most precious moment. This is a gift. And when we die, we’ll have no control over it.'” “In Indian philosophy, we don't have only yes or no. We say, yes, no, neither yes or no, both yes and no. So it’s the idea that I am the same person, I’m a different person, I’m neither the same or a different person, and both the same person and the different person. That’s the Buddha Dharma’s understanding of continuity, birth and death, and in that we don’t get caught.” “Awakening is a collective awakening.” “The Buddha was teaching us how to be a human being, how to take both the joy and the happiness of being a human being, but also to understand the suffering of a human being, and then take suffering as a noble truth. But it’s a noble truth only because we can transform it – otherwise it’s just plain old suffering. Use suffering as the compost for liberation. Looking at the cause, knowing the path to overcome suffering. And that’s key in Buddha. Otherwise, death is suffering, loss is suffering. The Buddha is saying, ‘Take that and look at it deeply, transform it, and live your life today as if it’s your last moment, your first moment, your present moment, our present moment.'” “Secular in India means different from secular in the West. Secular in India means respecting all religions. It doesn’t mean non-religious. I was brought up in a household like that, where we had Hindu icons, Christian icons, Islamic icons, everything. And we would go to midnight mass or go to a mosque or go to a temple, but we were not religious. It was just respecting people like that. And we had friends from every religion.”

Becoming the man God created you to be does not happen by accident. It requires intention, surrender, and a willingness to be formed. In this episode, John welcomes Fr. John Burns back to the pew to talk about what real formation looks like for men and why so many settle for comfort instead of transformation.

Jenny grew up in a house where strange things were simply part of life. Footsteps upstairs, movement in empty rooms, and the constant feeling that someone else might be in the house. Over time, it became something the family learned to live with.Years later, when Jenny moved back into the home as an adult, the activity still seemed to linger in small ways. Nothing that felt dangerous—just the occasional reminder that the house might not be as empty as it seemed.But one night, after everyone else had gone to sleep, Jenny heard something moving through the kitchen.At first she assumed it was her young son. Then the sound kept coming… closer and closer.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalExperience #GhostStories #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #HauntedHome #Unexplained #ParanormalPodcastLove real ghost stories?

The Church was never meant to thrive on priesthood alone. In this episode, John sits down with Fr. John Burns to talk about a part of the Church many people rarely think about until it is missing: consecrated women and religious life. Fr. John shares his own vocation story and the moment God redirected his life from pursuing success to becoming a priest. He shares the heart behind Friends of the Bridegroom, the apostolate he founded to help renew the Church by renewing consecrated life. Together, he and John discuss why the presence of sisters is essential to the life of the Church, what happens when that spiritual motherhood disappears, and how every Catholic has a role in helping restore it.

The Catholic boarding school had been built in the 1920s, when silence was considered part of discipline. By the time she arrived at sixteen, the nuns were gone — but the building still carried their rhythm.After lights-out, the fourth-floor corridor never felt entirely empty. Footsteps moved with deliberate pace. Doors seemed to be acknowledged as they were passed. And one night, in the middle of a whispered conversation, a firm voice spoke from inside her dorm room.Not angry. Not loud. Corrective. No one was in the hallway.Years later, after the school closed and the stone façade was polished into luxury apartments, she returned to the same floor. Renovated walls. Softer lighting. New tenants. But the expectation in the air felt unchanged.

Time Between Times PodcastEpisode: The Black Nun of LlangrannogOn this episode of Time Between Times, Owen takes you back to the windswept cliffs of west Wales… and to a childhood memory that still sends a shiver down the spine.As a boy in the 1980s, Owen travelled to the great Welsh youth camp at Urdd Gobaith Cymru Llangrannog Centre, a place of laughter, adventure, and independence for generations of young people through Urdd Gobaith Cymru.But when darkness fell, the dormitories told a different story.Whispers moved from bed to bed…Footsteps seemed to echo in the corridors…And somewhere in the shadows walked a figure dressed entirely in black.The Black Nun.In this deeply personal and atmospheric episode, Owen shares his own childhood terror of the mysterious figure said to haunt the camp. Where did the legend come from? Is it simply a story passed between generations of children… or does the land above Cardigan Bay remember something far older?Expect wind off the sea, creaking corridors, childhood fears, and a haunting figure who may still walk the halls long after lights out.So settle in, turn the lights down low… and join Owen as we return to Llangrannog, where the line between memory and myth grows wonderfully thin.
In this episode of the T&D World Line Life Podcast, Host Amy Fischbach interviews Zane Stephenson, a student in the lineman training program at Metropolitan Community College–Kansas City.

He never considered himself overly sensitive to the paranormal. But after his mother—who once practiced Santeria and later darker forms of spiritual work—passed away, unusual things began happening in his life.Footsteps in empty rooms. A presence felt in multiple homes. A window that violently flew across a room with no wind to explain it. His daughter seeing a woman in black. Cats reacting to something unseen. And no matter how many times they moved, the activity seemed to move with them.After visits to historic locations like Fort Mifflin and Burlington County Prison, the experiences only deepened, raising a troubling question: was something brought home… or had it always been there?When unexplained events follow you from house to house, at what point do you stop blaming the address and start looking at the attachment?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHomes #ShadowFigure #Santeria #BlackMagic #ParanormalActivity #HauntedFamily #SpiritAttachment #FollowedHome #TrueGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Lent is not about checking a box or proving how disciplined you can be. It is about bringing your whole heart back to God. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on what real conversion looks like and why simply giving something up is not the same as returning to the Lord. Drawing from Joel's call to “rend your hearts, not your garments,” they challenge listeners to move beyond surface-level sacrifices and into true interior change. If you have ever treated Lent as routine or felt unsure how to make it meaningful, this conversation is an invitation to start again. Return with your whole heart, and let God do more than adjust your habits. Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John

He worked the night shift in an old Colorado school, cleaning long after the final bell rang. From the first day, he was warned the building had a reputation.At night, the hallways felt occupied. Footsteps trailed behind him when he knew every exterior door was locked. Something once ran down the corridor, turned the corner near his office, then ran back—just out of sight.He learned to keep music playing. Silence made the school louder. One evening, he set up his phone to record in the main office. He didn't see anything. But later, tiny rocks appeared in the lobby—and his boss wanted to know where they came from.He no longer works there.

After relocating from Arizona to a small house in St. Ann, Missouri, she expected an adjustment period. What she didn't expect was the feeling that something in the house refused to settle.The basement light wouldn't stay off. Footsteps echoed down the hallway when no one was there. A familiar squeak at the front door announced an arrival—yet the entry remained empty. Then her friend saw it. A tall black figure in what looked like a long trench coat, standing just behind the door.Years later, she would experience something entirely different—proof that not every presence carries the same intention.Some encounters drive you out.

... Continuation of "Heaven is Shaking the Bear" series
When she was little, her grandmother told her she had ESP.She didn't think much of it. Years later—after two battles with cancer and more than one brush with death—she began to wonder if some people simply stand closer to the veil than others.A radio that turned on by itself. A sinister laugh in an empty house. Footsteps when no one was home. A dark mass at the foot of her bed that moved when she commanded it to leave. A brother who never entered the room she saw him in. And finally, a house where something seemed to prefer standing in doorways… watching.She doesn't consider herself overly sensitive. She doesn't jump to conclusions. But after enough moments that refuse to explain themselves, denial starts to feel less logical than possibility.#ESPExperiences #ShadowFigure #ParanormalEncounters #DoorwayApparition #NearDeathConnection #HauntedHome #UnexplainedActivity #SpiritualSensitivity #GhostStories #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

For years, Cosette had heard the stories about “Charlie” — the entity her friend's mom claimed haunted the house she grew up in. Chains in the basement. Footsteps on the stairs. A presence that never quite left.Cosette always assumed those stories were tied to that old, abandoned house.Then one afternoon, while hanging out in her friend's bedroom, she glanced toward the open closet and saw a tall, slouched shadow standing there. It didn't move. It didn't approach. It simply watched.The air felt thick. Aware. Trying to stay calm, she texted her friend's mom and described exactly what she was seeing. The response she got wasn't disbelief — it was recognition.And one small detail in that reply made her realize something unsettling: Maybe Charlie had never been tied to the house at all.

Often enough, medicine evolves not through the accumulation of answers, but instead by posing annoying questions. The thing about learning, it usually carries an element of disruption. In this conversation with Peter Eckman we follow him in his journey of sleuthing out where JR Worsley learned his medicine. But, it's not just a story of where Worsley got his stuff, to set the stage we have to go back to the shaman practitioners of a time before history. Then come forward through the pantheon of Chinese doctors of the past, and then into the modern age where colonialism opens the door to acupuncture making its way into the West. Peter's book, In the Footsteps of the Yellow Emperor details a story that goes from East to West and back to the East with a new Chinese language edition. What better place for a discussion like this than in a History Series conversation?

Captured in Libya, imprisoned in Italy, and twice an escapee: historian Malcolm Gaskill's great-uncle Ralph's experiences of the Second World War were certainly dramatic. Yet he left behind little more than a few photos, a wartime memoir, and a few stories filtered through family legend. But through years of research, travel and a unique partnership with an Italian historian, Gaskill has pieced together a story of quiet courage and unexpected connections. Here, in conversation with Elinor Evans, he discusses the resulting book, The Glass Mountain, and the challenges of telling such histories. Learn more about your ad choices.

Heaven is Shaking the Bear Iran in Prophecy This Week: The Bear Prince Dobiel and the Scroll Once again, as I'm gathering information and assembling Scripture for such a time as this, there is just enough time to prepare notes for the Shabbat lesson, but not enough time to edit a full newsletter teaching. Perhaps when it is complete, we can put together a transcript for those of you who prefer to read rather than listen. This Shabbat podcasr will be the next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear in which I plan to explain the pattern of the sky-scroll in Isaiah and Revelation along with a specific power awarded to Dobiel in the symbolic scroll...that could now be broken depending upon the outcome of the current conflict.
This is a Real Ghost Stories CLASSIC EPISODE!Rupert thought he was moving into a quiet bungalow in Yorkshire — nothing dramatic, nothing historic, just a fresh start in a peaceful neighborhood.Within days, that sense of calm began to unravel.A shadow slipping into the next room when no one was there. A violent crash in the kitchen that left something deeply unsettling scattered across the floor. Footsteps in the hallway at 3 a.m. — followed by the sight of someone who should have been asleep.There were only two people in the house. So who — or what — was the third presence moving through the rooms? And why did everything stop the moment the home was blessed?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHouse #MimicSpirit #ParanormalActivity #DoppelgangerEncounter #UKGhostStory #TrueParanormal #BlessingStoppedIt #HauntedBungalow #UnexplainedEvents #GhostEncounter #SpiritImitation Love real ghost stories?

On the morning of February 9th, 1855, the residents of Devon woke to a nightmare pressed into the snow. A single-file line of cloven hoof-prints, stretching over miles of frozen English countryside. Across thirty towns. In six hours. Made by something walking upright, one foot precisely in front of the other. The prints didn't go around obstacles. They went through them. Over fourteen-foot walls without disturbing the snow at the base. Across a two-mile river with no mark at either shore. Across rooftops while families slept below. The explanations that followed were creative. None of them quite fit the evidence. Then, in 2009, a woman in North Devon walked out to her garden after a fresh snowfall. Same prints. Same single-file line. Starting at a window. Vanishing without explanation on the other side of the yard. One hundred and fifty-four years between events. Same county. No answers. Haunted Talks tells the story of the Mystery of the Devil's Footprints. If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like: Episode 188 – Something in the Air: What Happened in Mattoon, Illinois?

This month's Listener Special is one of those episodes that reminds us why your stories are at the very heart of Paranormal Activity.First, we head to Holland Hall Hotel in Lancashire, where Naomi shares an unforgettable experience from the eve of her wedding.A 17th-century hall known for its hidden priest holes becomes the backdrop for a shared sighting she and her bridesmaid still can't explain.A hooded monk-like figure standing silently at the end of their corridor.Was it connected to the building's recusant history… or something far older embedded in the walls?Then Gemma sends in a chilling photograph taken in the 1970s, a Christmas tree glowing softly in the window… and a face staring back from the glass.When the negative was checked, the figure was still there.Family members believe it's her late grandfather.Is this a classic case of spirit photography, or something imprinted in film at the moment of development?From there, Georgia takes us to a quiet residential street in Leeds where reality itself seemed to unravel.Footsteps echoing out of sync.The same parked van appearing again and again.A road that refused to end.Time passing, but not passing.Was she briefly caught in something that didn't want her to leave?We also hear from Ellie in Lanarkshire, who stepped onto an empty football pitch at dusk only to find the environment reacting as though a match was still being played so nets moving, lines bending, grass shifting under unseen feet.Had she crossed into another moment still unfolding?And finally, Emily recounts a deeply unsettling night shift at a small regional zoo.Animals standing frozen in unison.A rhythmic tapping just beyond the enclosure.The unmistakable sense of something large moving, unseen, just out of sight… and the chilling realisation that the animals knew exactly where it was.Five stories.Five very different encounters.Shared sightings, photographic mysteries, looping streets, overlapping moments in time, and something pacing in the dark beyond the fence.As always, you decide what you believe.Welcome to February's Listener Special.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Sooner or later, every believer runs into a collision between what we hoped God would do and what He is actually doing. In this episode, John continues his reflection on grief and adversity by diving into one of the hardest realities of faith: wrestling with God when trust clashes with fear and our need for control. If you are in a season that feels confusing, unfair, or out of your control, this episode is an invitation to stay in relationship, pray honestly, release control, and let the struggle refine you. Wrestling with God is not the end of faith. It may be the beginning of deeper trust. Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John
For years, the strange moments were easy to dismiss. A laugh where no one stood. A sound from a clock that hadn't worked in decades. Footsteps that passed through empty rooms and never left a trace behind. Each incident could be explained away on its own—at least, that's what everyone insisted.What made it harder to ignore was how often it followed. Different houses. Different countries. Different stages of life. Wherever she stayed for long enough, the same patterns returned: movement without a source, sounds with intention, the unmistakable feeling of being noticed.Friends heard it too. Animals reacted. Doors moved. Drawers rattled. And then one night, someone stood beside the bed and spoke as if they already knew her.No threats. No violence. Just presence.Whether it was something tied to family, place, or the person herself remains unclear. What lingers is the question she's been left with ever since—why does it keep finding her?#RealGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #UnexplainedFootsteps #CreepyEncounters #GhostStory #SpiritActivity #UnseenPresence #TrueParanormal #SomethingFollowedHerLove real ghost stories?

Hello, everyone. Once again, as I'm gathering information and assembling Scripture for such a time as this, there is just enough time to prepare notes for you this week, but not enough time to edit a full newsletter teaching. Scriptural numbers and dates are lining up with significance to the current situation in Iran faster than I can record and sort them. In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear I plan to explain the pattern of the the Prince of Persia within Daniel and John's visions of the Beast Kingdom.
In Romans 4, Paul looks to Abraham to show that righteousness has never been earned—it has always been credited through faith. “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” This message reminds us that we are not justified by works, ritual, or performance, but by trusting God. A true walk of faith rests in forgiveness and lives in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Storms have a way of exposing the questions we are often afraid to ask out loud. In this episode, John reflects on grief, suffering, and the moments when life feels like it is taking on water, leading many of us to quietly wonder, “Does God even care?” If you are walking through adversity, grief, or uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that God is not indifferent to your suffering. He sees you, He is present, and He is leading you to the other side. Stay in the boat. Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John
Their home was brand new. A master-planned community, freshly built, and never lived in before. When they moved in, she was pregnant, and within months they were settling into life with a newborn. At first, the strange moments were easy to dismiss—lights turning on and off, sounds in the hallway, a device responding when no one had spoken.As time passed, the activity became harder to ignore. A guest room light flickered in deliberate patterns. A ceiling fan turned on after a verbal request for it to stop. Footsteps thundered through the house while both pets sat calmly at their feet. A voice was heard soothing the dog when no one was home.The baby monitor raised the most questions. What began as constant movement on the screen slowly faded until only one shape appeared—briefly, occasionally, and clearly. Then one afternoon, while they worked nearby, their son's bouncer began moving on its own. When they asked aloud for it to stop, it did.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueParanormal #HauntedHome #NewBuildHaunting #BabyMonitor #UnexplainedActivity #ParanormalWitness #FamilyEncounters #GhostStories #UnseenPresence Love real ghost stories?

She learned early that not all silence is empty.From a woman in black and white sitting in a cemetery, to a nun who vanished mid-stride on a familiar street, her life has been marked by quiet encounters that never behaved like traditional hauntings. Cats appeared after death. Footsteps echoed where no one stood. Shadows moved, then retreated when noticed.What unsettled her most wasn't the activity — it was how selective it was.Some moments felt gentle. Familiar. Almost polite. Others carried weight, warning her without words to keep her distance. Over time, she realized the experiences didn't affect everyone the same way. Her sister recoiled in fear.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIn the early 1900s, Boyd was a thriving rural town, home to more than 500 residents. Today, fewer than 200 remain—and one house continues to draw attention for reasons that can't be explained.

Footsteps, voices, and unexplained activity suggest the home may not have fully let go of its past.Our guest, Jill Shelley, has spent years investigating the unexplained with St. Croix Paranormal. In 2018, she purchased the Boyd House, intentionally stepping into a lifelong goal of owning a haunted property.
