When she was sixteen, her boyfriend told her something strange: a shadow man had been with him since infancy.It was unsettling, but it was also his story—not hers.Until she woke one night and found a dark figure at the foot of her bed. When she told her boyfriend what she'd seen, his response was even more disturbing than the encounter itself. He knew exactly what it was. In fact, he claimed he'd sent it to watch over her.And according to him, there was no sending it back. Long after their relationship ended, she continued catching glimpses of the figure. Then another woman who dated him began seeing a shadow man too.Was this really some kind of supernatural protector attached to him? And if it was, why didn't it treat everyone it followed the same way?#ShadowMan #ShadowPeople #ShadowPerson #ParanormalAttachment #UnseenPresence #GhostlyEncounter #ParanormalEncounter #DarkEntity #SupernaturalEncounter #Haunting #ParanormalActivity #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

For a while, neither of them said anything. They both saw things in their home. They both heard things. But each quietly wondered whether it was better to keep those experiences to themselves.Then something happened in the kitchen that neither could explain away.That moment opened the door to everything they had been avoiding: the shadowy woman moving from room to room, footsteps where no one was walking, unexplained objects appearing, and encounters that became far more personal than either of them wanted.Eventually, they called in a paranormal investigation team hoping for answers. Instead, the investigation suggested there might be more than one presence in the house—and one of them seemed to have been waiting in the basement all along.#HauntedHouse #MultipleSpirits #GhostWoman #BasementGhost #ParanormalInvestigation #EVP #SpiritActivity #GhostEncounter #HauntedHome #TrueGhostStories #RealGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

When his parents left town, he expected a few quiet days at home with his wife and young son. Instead, someone began knocking on their bedroom door.The three knocks were so familiar that, half asleep, he automatically called out, “Come in”—forgetting that no one else was home. Soon, they were hearing footsteps cross the old wooden floors and stop outside their room.Then things involving their son became much harder to dismiss.The family eventually wondered whether the presence might have been his grandfather, who had passed away around the time the baby was born and never got the chance to meet him.But if it really was Grandpa, why did the activity feel increasingly frightening? And if it wasn't him...who had they invited in?#ThreeKnocks #PhantomFootsteps #GhostlyKnocking #UnseenPresence #ParanormalMimic #SpiritVisitation #FamilyHaunting #HauntedHouse #GhostEncounter #ParanormalActivity #TrueGhostStories #RealGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

For nearly a year, his little sister had an imaginary friend who seemed perfectly real to her. She talked to him, played with him on the upstairs landing, and knew oddly specific things about what he liked, what frightened him, and where he was allowed to go. The family mostly treated it as something she would eventually outgrow.Then another child spent the night.The next morning, without knowing any of the stories, she asked a simple question about the little boy she had seen standing in the bedroom.Years later, his sister still remembers her childhood friend.And what she remembers most clearly is that when the family finally moved away, he couldn't come with them. Because, according to her, that house was where he lived. #RealGhostStories #ImaginaryFriend #GhostChild #Paranormal #TrueGhostStories #ChildhoodHaunting #HauntedHouse #GhostStories #Unexplained #ParanormalEncounterLove real ghost stories?

After moving into a small apartment with her two young sons, she began noticing things she couldn't quite explain.A figure crossed the hallway when both children were asleep. A closet door she was certain she had closed kept standing open again by morning. Then her sons casually told her why.A boy named Jerry lived in the closet. At first, she assumed he was an imaginary friend.Then one frightening night, something happened that made Jerry impossible to ignore. She finally told him he had to leave, and from that moment on, the activity stopped completely.But it was what she learned afterward that made her wonder whether Jerry had ever been imaginary at all.#RealGhostStories #GhostChild #ImaginaryFriend #HauntedApartment #Paranormal #TrueGhostStories #ChildGhost #Unexplained #GhostStories #ParanormalEncounterLove real ghost stories?

For years, strange things happened in his father's townhouse that were easy enough to explain away individually.A strange feeling when someone walked into a room. The sense that something had just moved out of sight. Objects falling for no obvious reason. Nothing that absolutely proved anything.Then one afternoon, while he was home alone studying, something started moving around upstairs.At first, it sounded small enough to be an animal. Then it sounded like a child running across the floor. Eventually, it sounded unmistakably like an adult.Frustrated and unnerved, he finally shouted upstairs for whatever was making the noise to stop. It did.And then the footsteps moved directly toward him.#RealGhostStories #HauntedTownhouse #GhostStories #Paranormal #Footsteps #TrueGhostStories #HauntedHouse #Unexplained #ParanormalActivity #IntelligentHauntingLove real ghost stories?

In Tooele, Utah, there's a haunted attraction that never had to pretend it was an abandoned hospital...because it actually was one. Asylum 49 occupies the former Tooele Valley Hospital, built on land that had previously served as the county poor farm. For years, its full-contact haunted house operated on one side of a wall while elderly residents lived in an active care facility on the other. But employees soon began reporting things no actor was responsible for: slamming doors, shadow figures, children in empty hospital rooms, and a little girl in a white nightgown who supposedly frightened the people hired to frighten everyone else. Tonight, we explore the history and legends of Asylum 49—and the bizarre complications that arise when a commercial haunted house claims its most convincing performers aren't actually on the payroll.

In 50 States Of Fear: California Part 2, we leave the haunted landscapes of Part One behind and meet some of the people who made California terrifying. First, there's Peg Entwistle, the talented young actress whose tragic death at the Hollywoodland sign became one of Hollywood's most enduring ghost stories. Then we descend into Synanon, a pioneering drug-rehabilitation program that transformed into an abusive cult complete with forced lifestyle changes, its own armed “Imperial Marines,” and an attempted murder involving a rattlesnake hidden inside a mailbox. Finally, we visit the seemingly sweet Sacramento boarding-house owner Dorothea Puente, who welcomed elderly and vulnerable tenants into her home, poisoned them, stole their Social Security checks, and buried their bodies beneath her garden.

It's been said that great speeches aren't written; they're re-written. Today Darren and Mark learn the ins and outs of great writing from author/speaker/minister Vince Antonucci. His techniques are simple and practical, and when applied well, they will help you to become UNFORGETTABLE. SNIPPETS: • Be clear; clarity counts • Simplicity and clarity are genius • Avoid speaking in abstractions • Never assume that your audience knows anything • Avoid the curse of knowledge • Be concrete instead of abstract • Write the way you speak • GHOST writing is really COLLABORATIVE writing • The first chapter, sentence, and line are most important • Edit at the word level • Simplify, simplify, simplify • Rehearse out loud • Apply the 10 Phases of Speech Writing
Deep in the most heavily forested county in Ohio, a brick tunnel stands alone in the woods with a dead town's name still carved above it — and a lantern that swings in the dark for trains that stopped running decades ago. This is the true history of the Moonville Tunnel, the ghosts of the vanished coal town that surround it, and the operating order a real railroad reportedly issued in 1981 telling engineers to look right at the phantom light and pretend it wasn't there. Then stay for an original horror story set inside the tunnel — because the legend has one thing backwards about what that lantern is really trying to do.
In the heart of Madrid stands the magnificent Palacio de Linares, a nineteenth-century palace with a reputation for scandal, tragedy and one of Spain's most famous ghost stories.According to legend, the palace was home to José de Murga and Raimunda de Osorio, an aristocratic couple whose marriage was said to hide a shocking secret: they were allegedly half-brother and half-sister. The story claims that after appealing to the Pope, they were allowed to remain married only if they lived chastely. But when a child was supposedly born, the scandal deepened, and that child became known as Raimundita.Was she murdered to protect the family name?Was her body hidden somewhere inside the palace?And could her ghost still be wandering the rooms, calling for her mother?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the chilling paranormal claims linked to the Palacio de Linares, including ghostly apparitions, unexplained music, moving doors, dramatic temperature drops, strange photographs and the infamous psychophonies, or EVP recordings, that appeared to capture voices saying “Mamá”, “murderers” and even the name Raimunda.We also look at the paranormal investigations carried out inside the palace, the media frenzy that followed, the hundreds of people who reportedly descended on the building looking for ghosts, and the growing doubts surrounding some of the most famous evidence.But this case becomes even stranger when the historical records are examined.Did Raimundita ever exist?Was the incest story true?Did a Pope really intervene in José and Raimunda's marriage?And how did a haunted palace, a real goddaughter named Raimunda, paranormal investigators and sensational media coverage combine to create one of Madrid's most enduring supernatural legends?The Palacio de Linares is more than a ghost story. It is a fascinating case study in how folklore, paranormal investigation, family history and media attention can collide until nobody is quite sure where the truth ends and the haunting begins.Join Anne and Renata as they unravel the ghosts, the scandal and the legend of Raimundita in one of Spain's strangest paranormal cases.True Hauntings Podcast explores real haunted locations, famous ghost stories, paranormal investigations, historical mysteries, psychical research and the evidence behind some of the world's most enduring supernatural claims.Find us here:True Hauntings: https://truehauntings.com.au Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenata Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneandrenata/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435#TrueHauntings #PalacioDeLinares #Raimundita #HauntedMadrid #MadridGhosts #SpanishGhostStories #HauntedSpain #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation #EVP #Psychophony #HauntedPalace #SupernaturalMystery #DarkHistory Hosted on Acast.

Did the dead ironworkers return to work after dark? Can an ironworks itself be haunted? And what would you make of the sound of machinery coming to life when the works should have been silent? In this episode of the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast, we travel back to Victorian Merthyr Tydfil and one of the strangest industrial ghost stories. In 1881, a "remarkable account" emerged from Cyfarthfa, once one of the great industrial powerhouses of Wales. A witness claimed that, after the works had fallen silent, the huge wheels began to turn, the machinery sprang into motion and the sounds of production filled the darkness. There were no workers. No obvious source of power. Just the sounds of a working ironworks where the machinery should have been still. And the story doesn't end there. Another local witness claimed to have heard the same mysterious sounds, while an elderly woman offered her own explanation involving the Crawshay family and their deep attachment to the works. Was this a supernatural haunting, an echo of Cyfarthfa's industrial past, or something more easily explained? And what does it mean for a place to become haunted not by a ghostly figure, but by the work itself? Expect Victorian ghost stories, industrial folklore, Cyfarthfa Ironworks, Merthyr Tydfil, supernatural encounters, the Crawshay dynasty and one very strange tale of machinery that seemingly refused to stay silent. Tune in now... if you dare.

When you look back at the Australian artists who've made their mark internationally, Savage Garden are right up there. Two guys from Brisbane who went Number 1 around the world, cracked the notoriously tough U.S. market and sold nearly 30 million albums with hits like 'I Want You', 'To The Moon And Back', and 'Truly Madly Deeply'. They may have only been together for two albums, but the legacy of their pop breakthrough continues, as does frontman Darren Hayes' incredible story.While he was sailing the highs of global fame, behind the scenes, Darren was dealing with a fractured band relationship, battling depression, and in the closet, unable to be truly himself. As a now proudly out gay man, he continues to sing his stories as a solo artist, but the road hasn't always been smooth sailing. Growing up in Logan, Queensland, the youngest of three in a home shadowed by severe domestic violence, who could have predicted that this sensitive kid who loved to sing would one day stand on the world's biggest stages?Darren's story is extraordinary: 250 rejection letters before anyone would sign Savage Garden, a manager who mortgaged his home to make it happen, and a partnership with Daniel Jones that produced some of the most iconic pop of the '90s before it all came crashing down. There have been plenty of lows too; being told by his own record company to hide who he was, the sudden loss of his mother, and a terrifying accident that shattered his jaw and nearly ended his singing career for good. But Darren Hayes is back, and he's got stories.This episode was captured at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, which was the building originally built by Charlie Chaplin, later home to A&M Records, and the exact room where "We Are the World" was recorded (Quincy Jones directing Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, and a room full of legends).

In the heart of Louisiana's swamps, ancient curses, ghostly hitchhikers, and bloodthirsty cryptids rise from the mist – proving the bayou's darkest legends might be terrifyingly true.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/LouisianaSwampsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/muer7xd4FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Welcome to a DARKIVE episode from May, 2022! *** We look into the creepy swamps of Louisiana, where gators and snakes are the least of your worries as compared to the paranormal. (Swamp Legends of Louisiana) *** From building fake cities, to creating ghost army bases, to playing stupid in front of the enemy, we'll look at some of the most cleverly deceptive tactics that have been used in war throughout history. (Brilliant Wartime Deceptions) *** Chung Ling Soo was one of the greatest magicians of his time – so much so the he was able to not only conceal items up his sleeves, but conceal his true identity. (The Magician Who Lived a Double Life) *** In 1974 five little girls disappeared in a span of just three months – two were later found deceased, but the remaining three have never been found. And the kidnapper and murderer has never been brought to justice… nor do we have any idea who it was. (The Jacksonville Kidnappings) *** Photographs of strange orblike objects are more common than any other photos purported to be ghosts, aliens, or cryptids. But what exactly are these orbs? A trick of the light… or could they be alive? (Could Ghost Orbs Be Living Energy Beings?) *** In the mountains of Jackson County in North Carolina lies a large mysterious rock covered in petroglyphs that have yet to be deciphered. For the Cherokee Indians, the rock and surrounding area is a sacred site where ceremonies used to take place. Indeed, Judaculla Rock is surrounded by rumors and legends, including strange sounds and UFO sightings during the night. (The Indecipherable Judaculla Rock) *** In 1971 children from all over the United States were being rushed into hospital emergency rooms with a very strange symptom… what was causing otherwise healthy children to create pink poop?

When someone seems genuinely into what you offer then suddenly disappears, it hits you right in the gut. You replay the interaction, wondering what you missed or if you somehow pushed too hard. That silence feels personal, even though deep down you know people get busy, overwhelmed, or distracted. Still, it stings when you're left hanging after what felt like real momentum. In this Q&A Wednesday episode, Omar and Nicole dig into a question sent in by Mandy, who's dealing with that exact situation. You'll hear why a quiet prospect isn't automatically a lost cause, what might actually be going on behind the scenes, and how you can respond in a way that keeps things human and helpful. There's a surprising pattern behind why people ghost, and understanding it can shift how you handle these moments moving forward. If you're ready to stop guessing and start approaching those silent leads with confidence, click play at the top of the page and learn how to navigate those ghosting moments so you can turn interest into real movement again.

She was washing dishes when her four-year-old daughter calmly walked into the kitchen and said there was a man in her bedroom.There shouldn't have been. No one else was in the house, and anyone entering would have had to pass through the kitchen first. Still, her daughter wasn't frightened. She simply described a dark figure standing quietly in the room, watching her play.The moment stayed with her, but eventually life moved on.Three years later, during her first visit with a spiritual reader, the conversation unexpectedly turned toward someone who had passed before her daughter was born. Then came a detail she had never expected to hear—an apology for frightening a little girl in her bedroom.Had her daughter known exactly who was visiting long before anyone else did?#GhostlyGrandfather #FamilySpirit #SpiritVisitation #ChildSeesGhosts #AfterDeathCommunication #GhostEncounter #ParanormalChild #FamilyGhostStory #TrueGhostStories #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Working alone at the end of a quiet hallway on a college campus, she occasionally had the feeling that something else was there. Then one afternoon, she heard heels clicking toward her office and watched a shadow pass the window in her door.Instead of leaving through the nearby exit, it came back. And peeked through her window.Eventually, she did the only thing she could think of: she told whatever was there that it could stay as long as it stopped frightening her. Surprisingly, things quieted down.Years later, she was moved to another building and left that office behind. She assumed whatever had been haunting the hallway would stay there too.Then the woman who inherited her old desk sent her a message: “Come over. I have some questions.”#ShadowPerson #ShadowPeople #HauntedOffice #CollegeHaunting #GhostEncounter #ParanormalEncounter #SpiritActivity #HauntedFurniture #ParanormalActivity #Unexplained #TrueGhostStory #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

She and her best friend had grown up with the same music, the same inside jokes, and one song that always seemed to belong to the two of them.After her friend died unexpectedly, hearing that The Chicks were touring brought everything back. She knew she had to go, even though she also knew it would hurt.The concert was emotional, but one song nearly broke her.Later, after dropping off the friend who had gone with her, she found herself alone in the car, talking out loud to the person she wished had been there all night.She told her how much she missed her. She told her how hard their song had been.

For years, strange things happened in his father's townhouse that were easy enough to explain away individually.A strange feeling when someone walked into a room. The sense that something had just moved out of sight. Objects falling for no obvious reason. Nothing that absolutely proved anything.Then one afternoon, while he was home alone studying, something started moving around upstairs.At first, it sounded small enough to be an animal. Then it sounded like a child running across the floor. Eventually, it sounded unmistakably like an adult.Frustrated and unnerved, he finally shouted upstairs for whatever was making the noise to stop. It did.And then the footsteps moved directly toward him.#RealGhostStories #HauntedTownhouse #GhostStories #Paranormal #Footsteps #TrueGhostStories #HauntedHouse #Unexplained #ParanormalActivity #IntelligentHauntingLove real ghost stories?

“On my headstone, it would say: I was always right. I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” — Paulina Borsook A quarter of a century ago, the tech journalist Paulina Borsook published Cyberselfish, one of the earliest critiques of Silicon Valley's libertarian culture. While the heretical book got widely reviewed, it not only didn't sell but cursed her writing career, Borsook claiming she couldn't get published again on any subject. Used copies of Cyberselfish could be had for a few dollars and she became just another forgotten tech dissenter. Then, last year, Borsook was magically resurrected. The New York Times (re)discovered her as “the writer who dared criticize Silicon Valley” and the price of secondhand copies of Cyberselfish jumped to over a thousand dollars. The world caught up with her tech scepticism. Like an AI startup, Borsook is now hot. So hot, in fact, that the original Cyberselfish is now being republished not only in the US and UK, but also in France. So hot, that we now have a new word: “Borsookian,” to describe Silicon Valley libertarianism. The funny thing is that nothing much has changed over the last quarter century since Borsook's original book came out. Not tech's libertarian hostility to government. Not the Silicon Valley boys-only club. And certainly not Paulina Borsook, who retains what the Grateful Dead lyricist and digital utopian John Perry Barlow half-lovingly called her “dyspeptic” manner. “On my headstone, it would say: I was always right,” Paulina Borsook confides with dyspeptic glee. “I never lied, and no one paid any attention to me.” How delicious to be so fully resurrected. What fun for the heretic to help transform the original orthodoxy into the new heresy. Five Takeaways • Back from the Dead. The resurrection required no publicist: used copies of Cyberselfish drifted from $4 toward $1,000; graduate students begged her for copies she couldn't supply; a stranger she's never met posted on LinkedIn that she'd gotten everything right and been forgotten — and it went viral. That led to Gil Duran, whose furious Bluesky post (after a Wired mea-culpa writer interviewed him about her for forty-five minutes and cited neither of them) alerted The New York Times, whose November feature — “The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley” — brought her agent's immortal email: “we always knew you were right.” Tin House is reissuing the book on September 15 with a Duran foreword and her new afterword, changing not a word. Younger readers, she's told, like that it doesn't read like a TED Talk. Her headstone joke covers the whole arc: always right, never lied, no one paid attention.• Why Are They So Mad? The book's core observation remains undefeated: “no sector of society has benefited more and suffered less from the government than people in Silicon Valley. So why are they acting like this, and why are they so mad?” “Libertarian” was simply her shorthand for a subculture violently anti-government, totally anti-regulation, and drunk on Ayn Rand — or, in the book's reframe, the mind-set of adolescents craving total rampaging autonomy while someone else does the laundry. She wrote it from inside: a Wired freelancer under Louis Rossetto (who handed new writers The New Journalism), perpetually paired point-counterpoint against John Perry Barlow, whose Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace made her snort and whose “dyspeptic” label she wears as a compliment. Kevin Kelly, she insists, is not Sam Altman — they almost never agreed, but she doesn't demonize — “except that they have a belief in everything that tech wants to do is fine.” The book, she says now, is a Guide for the Perplexed: the metaphors and framing to decode everything the current crop is spewing.• That Damn Book. She calls it TDB — That Damn Book — because it wrecked her. A strong media arc and worldwide reviews, then no sales and a career that “came to a crashing halt”: for twenty-five years she could not get published again, on tech or anything else; a finalist for four fellowships, winner of none; no one — blacklist theorists, gender theorists — could ever explain it. “I have PTSD from twenty-five years of never being able to be published again.” The lost years: seven of nasty elder care, an eviction that put everything she owned in storage, six years as an Airbnb superhost in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the art project My Life as a Ghost — about the traumatic brain injury she's carried since a friend accidentally shot her with a Colt 45 at fourteen. She resists the redemptive reading that the TBI explains her outsider eye (“I'm a package deal”), and values tech precisely as the utility — word processing, BBSs for the housebound — that made a writing life possible. Using is not worshiping.• AI Is the Inevitable Result of Cyberselfishness. “Was anybody asking for this? Not really.” AI, on her reading, is the financial play the culture was always building toward — there's little real innovation left, “except for surveillance capitalism” and, in her Shakespearean phrase, the current crop “borrowing the robes of the tech culture of another era.” Her oldest fascination has become the newest: since ELIZA in the sixties, people have preferred confessing to machines over talking to humans — AI boyfriends included — and “it gets so much stuff wrong that people wanna rely on this” bewilders her still. Andrew's question about Anthropic's calls for regulation drew the hour's driest line: “isn't that just sort of the lipstick on a pig issue? I'll believe it when I see it” — nobody, she notes, will do anything that touches the stock price. Her counter-example is the late Peter Neumann, the computer scientist who gave $4 million to the San Francisco Symphony's chorus: “we will not see his like again.”• The Blue of Tahoe. Asked what freedom means, she calls the word too abused to define — a card-carrying ACLU member since high school who believes just as firmly in regulation, and whose answer to Sergey Brin's California-as-Soviet-Union hissy fit is the episode's keeper: “what do you think keeps the water of Tahoe so very blue except for government regulation and environmental scientists? Who do you think regulates the use of the term organic?” The regulation-freedom dynamic, she argues, is healthy — it's the worship that isn't. Her San Francisco test: The Crucible, the beloved East Bay institution that taught Burning Man its metalwork, gets nothing from the boom, while art nonprofits die weekly and the winners insist they owe nothing because they pay taxes — “which they try very much not to do.” Burning Man itself she reads via Brave New World: the violent passion surrogate, a scheduled space for disorder before returning to lives spent “creating nonsense and ruining a lot of things that we hold dear.” A California writer to the end — and, per Glengarry Glen Ross, always be closing.
