Podcasts about Massachusetts

Across centuries and continents, documented cases reveal supernatural forces that escalated beyond typical paranormal activity — resulting in physical harm, unexplained deaths, and encounters that defy conventional explanations.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: Many ghost stories are frightening but leave the person encountering them shaken, but no more worse for wear. Perhaps a light touch on the shoulder, the moving of an object, a whisper in the ear, or a cold chill for the more intense cases. But then there are those hauntings that leave the person hysterical… or physically hurt… or even dead. We'll look at some of the most violent ghosts and hauntings of all time. (History's Most Violent Ghosts) *** Dixon, Illinois needed a bridge – Mr. L.E. Truesdell was an expert bridge builder. But people had doubts as to whether what he was being asked to do could be accomplished. The naysayers were ignored – and tragedy arrived, (The Truesdell Bridge Disaster) *** The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were horrid… the trials in Europe even more so. Now, imagine being a soldier tried as a witch because you returned with supernatural knowledge imparted to you after you were abducted by extraterrestrials. It sounds like the makings of a terrible novel and an even worse movie… but it's the true story of Major Thomas Weir. (The True Story of the Alien Abduction Witch Trial) *** He's believed to have killed over 50 women inside his soundproof torture trailer – which he called his “toy box.” We'll look at the case of serial killer David Parker Ray. (Evils of the Toybox Killer) *** Our criminal justice system tries to be the most fair in the world – considering the accused “innocent until proven guilty.” And while our system is not perfect, for the most part it does its job well. But because it is not perfect, once in a while a murderer walks… or even worse, an innocent defendant goes to prison. And in some cases, that innocent person is convicted and imprisoned based on one thing – they confessed to the crime that they didn't commit. Why would someone do that? (Why Do Innocent People Confess?) *** Port St. Lucie, Florida is full of disturbing urban legends – some true, many false – as urban legends go. But somehow, most all of these terrifying stories tie back to a single oak tree in a neighborhood park, and Florida's first serial killer. (The Devil Tree Hauntings)ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Did Justice Sotomayor just outfox the Trump DOJ by sending out an “invitation” to a Massachusetts federal judge to find a way to circumvent a recent Supreme Court ruling to make sure that deportees obtain due process before being sent to countries like South Sudan or Libya? Michael Popok takes a close look at Sotomayor's dissent, the next steps taken by Judge Murphy to tell the Trump Administration that the Court's ruling doesn't stop his other “remedial” orders, and Trump's DOJ rushing to the Court and asking for a “clarification” because the Judge is being mean and “defiant.” For their buy 1 get 1 50% off deal, head to https://3DayBlinds.com/LEGALAF Subscribe:  @LegalAFMTN  Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Our guest on this week's episode is Mark Baxa, president & CEO of The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, also known as CSCMP. Earlier this week the supply chain industry lost an icon. Fred Smith was the founder of FedEx – a company that has literally revolutionized the delivery business. Our guest discusses how Fred Smith's vision and business savvy has left lasting impacts on the supply chain industry.  Autonomous vehicles continue to see wider adoption while fostering more debates on their safety. Most uses are for robotaxis, with some limited applications for hauling freight. However, this week we saw a rally by Teamsters Union members who lobbied legislators in Massachusetts to pass a state law to require human drivers inside these vehicles. That was a reaction to plans by Waymo — the self-driving car company that is a unit of Google's parent company Alphabet — to start deploying its cars in Massachusetts. Senior Editor Victoria Kickham was in Salt Lake City this week at the SMC3 Connections conference. That's a trucking and supply chain event that takes place each year and draws a crowd of about 500. The conference covered a range of issues, but she says two things really stood out - tariffs/trade and AI. She dives into these two topics in her report.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #625 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, kalimba, acoustic guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Today's show was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in June of 2025 and begins with the stately, solemn “Wake Up To All That You See”. Mariam's powerful vocal and lyrical Native flute, Craig's heartbeat drum and Bob's imaginative, restless piano make this track compelling and varied. “Make The Best Of Where You Are” is a jazzy, dynamic song with a fine rock vocal from Mariam and “Finish What You Started” is a beautiful, mysterious ballad led by Mariam's bittersweet Gypsy acoustic guitar work. Mariam strums her shimmering 8-string ukulele for the pretty, delicate “Sail Into The Realms Of Pure Love”, a gorgeous, 50's-inflected song with a gorgeous vocal and luxurious floating clouds of piano. “Dance Along The River Of Life” is a spacious, unhurried ballad built on Bob's Eastern European harmonic scheme and featuring a fine vocal-and-flute conversation from Mariam. “Ryalia” is a finely composed, clever piece made evocative with Mariam's defining, ringing mandolin and fine vocal and “Open Every Day” is an energized blues with racing congas and fiery piano from Bob that gradually coalesces into a stately, inspired gospel ballad. We close today with the mysterious “Let's Write The Story Again”, a lovely piece with a fine vocal from Mariam above ukulele, heartbeat Native drum and racing, circular piano.  Learn more about Mariam here: http://www.mariammassaro.com

It's a twisted story, filled with conspiracy, lies, partial truths, affairs, and maybe even some reasonable doubt!   Along the way, we find out that no one loves mechanical bulls more than Italian people, that even spending time at a lake house can come with some stress, and that you can't lie to everyone, all the time, and get away with it!!   New episodes every Wednesday & Friday nights!   Donate at patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder, Crime In Sports & Your Stupid Opinions!   Follow us on... instagram.com/smalltownmurder facebook.com/smalltownpod   Alos, check out James & Jimmie's others, Crime In Sports & Your Stupid Opinions on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or whever you listen to podcasts!!

Cape Cod, Massachusetts in the summertime is nothing short of picturesque, however in this episode, it's the backdrop for no less than four murders, one attempted murder of a cop and countless arsons.

Will he get his comeuppance in the end, and will the last enduring mystery ever be solved? Sources:1. Brennan, George.

October 19, 2001. Leverett's Chapel, Texas. After leaving her house to go for a walk on a nearby trail, 15-year old Jessica Sadler never returns home and her body is discovered underneath a trash pile at a dumpsite in a wooded area four days later. Jessica's cause of death is determined to be blunt force trauma and suspicion is directed towards her 18-year old friend, Curtis DeWayne Howard, who confesses to having had sex with Jessica on the day she disappeared. Since Jessica was underage, Curtis is charged with sexual assault, but winds up being acquitted at trial and there is not enough evidence to link him or anyone else to Jessica's death. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the tragic unsolved murder of Jessica Sadler, which has remained unsolved for over two decades.

Inside the Sandra Birchmore Cover-Up: Grooming, Power, and a Staged Suicide  Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and living alone when she was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. The initial ruling? Suicide. But now—thanks to a federal indictment—that story is unraveling fast. In this episode, we break down the disturbing case of Sandra Birchmore, who prosecutors say was groomed and exploited for years by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell. Farwell met Sandra through a police youth mentorship program when she was just 13. By 15, he was in a sexual relationship with her. By 23, she was pregnant with a child she believed was his. Then she turned up dead. Prosecutors allege Farwell strangled her to keep her quiet, then staged the scene to look like a suicide. Years passed before the FBI stepped in—exposing what many believe to be a shocking abuse of power. And Farwell isn't the only name caught in the fallout. Other officers allegedly had ties to Sandra, yet walked away uncharged. Some resigned. Some let their police certifications quietly expire. And all the while, Sandra's family was left to fight for the truth. We unpack the federal case, the DNA twist that shattered everything Sandra believed, the silence of those around her, and the ugly reality of what happens when predators wear badges. This isn't just about one murder. It's about a system that let it happen—and almost let it disappear. Subscribe and listen as we ask the hard questions.

Global Partners is a 4th generation Massachusetts based company that is one of the Northeast's largest independent owners, suppliers, and operators of gasoline stations and convenience stores.

They reflect on how meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and small acts of kindness can ripple through communities and change lives. They share personal stories about love and legacy, the power of music in community bonding, and the value of long-form conversations in understanding complex ideas. The discussion also touches on overcoming fear, embracing change, and the significance of intentional conversations in fostering connections. Keep up with Sam on his webpage!

Living Local: Spotlight on Plymouth, MA — A Town Steeped in History and Full of Heart At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe that real estate is more than just buying and selling homes—it's about finding a lifestyle, a community, and a place to call home. That's why our Talk Real Estate Roundtable often features our “Living Local” series, where we highlight the unique towns south of Boston. In our latest episode, hosts Melissa Wallace and Kristen Howlett turned their focus to one of Massachusetts' most iconic coastal towns: Plymouth. America's Hometown—Past and Present Often referred to as "America's Hometown," Plymouth holds a storied place in American history. Founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, it's one of the oldest municipalities in the United States and was the site of the first Thanksgiving feast. It served as the capital of Plymouth Colony until 1691 and was originally home to the Wampanoag village of Patuxet. Today, Plymouth remains a vibrant community where history and modern living blend seamlessly. From the famed Plymouth Rock to the beautifully restored Mayflower II and historic homes, the town offers a unique window into our nation's beginnings. Geography That Inspires Plymouth is massive in terms of land area—spanning over 96 square miles of land and 134 square miles including water. It encompasses various neighborhoods and geographical sections like Cedarville, Manomet, and Plymouth Center. Its coastline stretches along Cape Cod Bay and features nine public beaches, with Plymouth Beach being the largest and most ecologically significant. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the town's numerous ponds, forested areas, and conservation lands. Miles Standish State Forest and Camp Cachalot offer camping, hiking, and exploration right in your backyard. A Culinary Destination One of the most-loved aspects of Plymouth, according to listener feedback, is its dining scene. From seafood shacks to upscale restaurants, there's something for everyone. Kristen and Melissa shared local favorites, including spots like the Pillory Pub, Tavern on the Wharf, and many more that offer everything from casual bites to waterfront views and live acoustic music. Whether it's a cozy brunch or a night out, Plymouth has a restaurant for every occasion—and the best part is, you can often get a table without a reservation! Community and Lifestyle For those considering a move, Plymouth offers more than just historical charm and natural beauty. It's a place where you can feel connected. Kristen noted that many clients—especially those looking to downsize—are drawn to Plymouth for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, sense of community, and access to amenities. Plymouth offers a variety of housing options, from historic homes to new construction, making it appealing to everyone from first-time homebuyers to retirees. Real Estate With Heart At Boston Connect Real Estate, we're not just helping clients buy and sell homes—we're helping them find where they truly belong.

Since then, Gary has authored other acclaimed works like Your Immortal Reality and Love Has Forgotten No One, earned the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award, and has spoken in 44 U.S. states and over 30 countries.

In this comprehensive Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle complex tax strategies focusing heavily on 1031 exchanges and business deductions. They explain why fix-and-flip properties cannot use 1031 exchanges since they're considered inventory rather than investments, and suggest using C-corps or S-corps for tax savings instead. The attorneys dive deep into 1031 exchange mechanics, covering depreciation carryover basis, cost segregation complications, and state clawback rules in California, Oregon, Montana, and Massachusetts. In other topics, they discuss the heavy SUV deduction for vehicles over 6,000 pounds, explaining how to maximize depreciation through Section 179, bonus depreciation, and MACRS while requiring material participation. Other tips include strategic use of management C-corps for rental property mileage deductions through accountable plans, qualifying for 0% capital gains rates, handling Ponzi scheme losses through IRS safe harbor provisions, tax implications of timeshare deed-in-lieu transactions, and expatriation exit taxes for high-net-worth individuals renouncing US citizenship. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com   Highlights/Topics: "I own an LLC that I use to purchase a single-family house to fix and flip. Can I use a 1031 exchange to save on taxes while I look for my next property?" - No, fix-and-flip properties are inventory, not qualifying investments. "I have five years left of depreciation on rental property. I was looking into a 1031 exchange but didn't realize that the depreciation schedule remains. Can I do a 1031 to defer some capital gains but no longer depreciate and/or buy another property and get new depreciation schedule for that one?" - You get carryover basis plus new excess basis depreciation. "What are some of the rules regarding a 1031 exchange when selling a rental home in one state, but purchasing the replacement property in another state?" - Allowed, but watch for clawback rules in four states. "If I buy a car with a weight more than 6,000 pounds for my newly incorporated business and have not earned any income in the first year of business, can I use it to reduce taxes against my spouse's W2 income?" - Yes, through S-corp with material participation and 50% business use. "I own a rental house and a management corporation, which is a C corp. How do I deduct mileage for my rental activity?" - Use accountable plan reimbursements from C-corp for tax-free money. "How does one qualify for 0% capital gains?" - Single filers need taxable income of $48,350 or less. "I invested in an ATM syndication. It was a Ponzi scheme and all investment was lost. The K-1s I received for previous years were fraudulent. How do I file my taxes for those years that I received a fraudulent K-1?" - Use IRS safe harbor provision for 75-95% ordinary loss deduction. "What are the tax implications of doing a deed in lieu for a timeshare?" - Creates cancellation of debt income taxed at ordinary rates. "What happens to your real estate if when you move outside of the country, is it deemed disposition?" - Only if expatriating citizenship, then exit tax applies.

For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Dick Keyes Part of the Summer 2025 Theme Weekend A Hall of Portraits: Imitating Christ by Imitating the Saints. For many today, heroism or the very idea of imitating another person is suspect because it can constrict us as well as blind us to our own story. But if our imaginations don't connect with aspiration for people in our future lives, we can become bored and boring. The imitation of Christ brings a different perspective if we are open to grow through following Jesus' quality of life, along with learning from those who have been Christlike in their own ways since then.

Karen Read Trial Aftermath: Breaking Down Albert's & Proctor's ABC Interviews Description: In this episode, we unpack two pivotal ABC 20/20 interviews that unfolded in the immediate aftermath of Karen Read's acquittal on second-degree murder charges for the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Firstly, crime scene host Matt Gutman sits down with Michael Proctor — the now-disgraced former Massachusetts State Trooper who led the original investigation and was later dismissed after a string of shocking, misogynistic text messages about Read were made public. Proctor candidly addresses every major controversy: from the crudeness of his private texts to the explosive accusations that he may have tampered with evidence—such as the taillight of Read's vehicle. He refutes all conspiratorial claims, insisting there was “no conspiracy” and that his investigative methods followed protocol, even conceding that perhaps “we could have looked at other people's cars just to say we did it” to avoid the conspiracy narrative. Secondly, we break down an insightful interview with Brian Albert, whose suburban Canton home was the scene of that tragic night when O'Keefe's body was found in the snow. Albert weighs in on the defensive theory that O'Keefe was injured inside the house—possibly during a physical altercation or dog attack—and then staged to implicate Read. His ABC segment adds emotional depth and scrutiny as he voices lingering concerns over jurors' doubt and calls the verdict “a devastating miscarriage of justice” . Through extensive analysis, this episode contrasts Proctor's steadfast defense of his legitimacy with Albert's heartfelt challenge to the acquittal. We proceed chronologically: evaluating the strongest rebuttals Proctor issues, the live reactions from both the investigator and the victim's inner circle, and how these interviews shape public and legal discourse around the case. We also assess the broader implications—how Proctor's firing and testimony may impact police accountability reforms, and whether Albert's spotlight will pressure the ongoing civil lawsuit filed by O'Keefe's family. Listeners will come away with a nuanced understanding of the emotions, contradictions, and lasting tensions that persist after one of Massachusetts' most divisive trials. This is more than a post-trial recap—it's a layered examination of power, perception, and the pursuit of justice.

A listener writes “I was working as an HVAC Tech but was still learning the ropes and was being introduced into what being on call was like- long story short a coworker picked me up one night and we went up towards northern western Massachusetts for a no heat call. After spending some time in the basement with the hatchway doors open, my coworker went outside to use the bathroom and I followed him out to catch some fresh air and get something from the van. He goes out maybe 30/40 yards so the home owner doesn't see so he's pretty far from me. A few minutes pass by and as I'm sitting in the van (on my phone) I hear something walk up towards the van. After this thing had come up to the van with be sitting in it for over 10 minutes, there was a crack in the back door of the van so it wasn't open completely but you could see through about 3-4 inches. This thing made eye contact with me with 1 eye. Stood there for about 10-15 seconds and then blinked. After a few more seconds this thing took off incredibly fast after hearing some noise come from the open basement door.”
