Exploring the Concept of Future Ghosts In this week's Ghost Report, Lisa Morton delves into the intriguing question of why we don't see dinosaur ghosts and expands the discussion to whether ghosts might exist outside conventional concepts of time and space. She explores the concept of 'fetch,' or the ghost of a living person, and contemplates encountering ghosts from the future. Lisa also references a classic ghost story, 'The Philosophy of Relative Existences' by Frank R. Stockton, which explores the idea of future hauntings. #futureghosts #fetch #ghosts

Tonight, we'll read the story “The Clocks of Rondaine” adapted by Snoozecast and originally found in the compilation “Fanciful Tales” compiled by Frank R. Stockton and published in 1894. A clock or chronometer is a device that measures and displays time. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

On today's podcast, people are not visiting Mali because of conflict; companies experiment with unusual-tasting foods; advice on increasing your vocabulary, part two; Then, ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?' by Frank R. Stockton on American Stories.

Ron's Amazing Stories is home to a variety of thrilling and thought-provoking tales. In this episode, we have an extended segment of These Are Your Stories, where listeners share their own eerie and unexplained experiences. First up, Belinda takes us on a tour of one of Hollywood's most famous hotels, known for its haunted history and eerie atmosphere. She recounts tales of strange noises, and ghostly encounters that have cemented the hotel's reputation as a paranormal hotspot. Next, an anonymous listener shares her chilling encounter with black eyed kids—mysterious children with large, black eyes that have been reported in various parts of the world. She describes her terrifying experience with these eerie entities, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats. Finally, Jessica takes us on a wild ride with her incredible tale that unfolded during a drama class. Following that segment, we have a classic double feature in store. The first story, A Thing That Glistened, written by Frank R. Stockton in 1891, transports us to the early age of deep sea diving. Despite its age, the story has a timeless quality and remains captivating with its imaginative storytelling. To conclude the show, we end with a humorous and tongue-in-cheek story called Navy Day by Harry Harrison (One of Ron's favorite authors). This lighthearted tale from 1954 offers a satirical take on the future of technology and the military, leaving listeners with a chuckle and a thought-provoking message. Featured Story -  A Thing That Glistened Our featured story comes from a book called Eleven Possible Cases published by Cassell and Company in 1891. This is an anthology composed of eleven short stories from eleven different authors. Our story is titled A Thing That Glistened and it was written by Frank R. Stockton. It was suggested to me by Jamar Linkous from New York. He first read this story as a kid and it stuck with him. Jamar decided to track it down and found it on .  It is a unique story and one that doesn't  really sound like something that was written in 1891. Stories Include - The Machine Factory Murder, Hollywood Roosevelt, BEK & Halloween, Under The Desk, A Thing That Glistened, and Navy Day Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at .

Books assigned in school evoke strong feelings. You either love em' or you hate em.' In this episode, Marlon and Jake discuss the books they wished they were assigned in school and the ones they suffered through. Accompanying the books taught in school, there are, of course, the teachers who taught them. A teacher can make or break a book read in school. As a literature teacher (as well as Booker prize winning author), Marlon acknowledges there are some novels assigned in school that you have to work to understand that are really good, but sometimes those novels are not good and if it weren't for being assigned in school, we wouldn't still be reading it.Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The Republic by Plato Jude the Obscure by Thomas HardyTess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey ChaucerInfinite Jest by David Foster Wallace Tom Jones by Henry Fielding Middlemarch by George Eliot Call of the Wild by Jack London Bleak House by Charles Dickens Great Expectations by Charles Dickens The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens David Copperfield by Charles Dickens The Warden by Anthony TrollopeWashington Square by Henry James The Turn of the Screw by Henry James The Aspern Papers byHenry James The Ambassadors by Henry James Daisy Miller by Henry James Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain The Bondsman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts Guerillas by VS Naipaul Miguel Street by VS Naipaul A Bend in the River by VS NaipaulA House for Mr. Biswas by VS NaipaulDog Soldiers by Robert Stone The Godfather by Mario PuzoShogun by James ClavellTia-pan by James ClavellKing Rat by James ClavellWhirlwind by James ClavellJulius Caesar by William ShakespeareKing Lear by William Shakespeare The Tempest by William Shakespeare King Solomon's Mines by H.

The following collection, first published in 1921, features stories which have a strong comical or satirical focus. In the introduction the anthologist notes: The modern spook is possessed not only of humor but of a caustic satire as well. His jest is likely to have more than one point to it, and he can haunt so insidiously, can make himself so at home in his host's study or bedroom that a man actually welcomes a chat with him—only to find out too late that his human foibles have been mercilessly flayed. 1.
