JD writes "I was 17 years old. Heading into my senior year in high school. Life was good. This was in 2001, over summer break. On a blue sky summer day, my friend and I decided to go out for a drive and walk around a park, known as Shevlin Park. Now, back in 2002 you could go out to places in and around Bend and it wouldn't be overcrowded by tourists. Shevlin Park was on the outskirts of town with trails along Tumalo Creek that backed up to nothing but nature. Of course today there's houses and it feels more like a park surrounded by residential housing. I included a photo to help understand my encounter. In the photo, the red dot is where my friend and I parked. The yellow dot is where we had our encounter and the direction this creature went. That day we got lucky as there was nobody else around. We decided to take a walk over to Tumalo Creek. Within minutes of walking I noticed in front of me a large pine tree that had fallen over. The tree was resting up on its stump and it had fallen over into a thick growth patch of pine trees and aspens and your random shrubs. I got the immediate idea to hop up onto the tree and attempt to balance my way along the fallen tree. Now this tree, resting on the stump and the top of the tree now resting in a thicket of trees, there was probably about 3 feet of space from the tree parallel to the ground. I was about 5ft 11inches so I figured once I was up on the tree walking along it I would have been close to 9ft. My friend stayed on the ground and walked along the side as I walked my way on the fallen tree. Now I had only been up on this fallen tree for a matter of seconds and as I started to walk on the fallen tree I suddenly started hearing what sounded like branches breaking, shrubs being smashed, basically, trees being disturbed by something. I glance up towards the sound and all I can see is this black mass at the end of the tree behind the thicket of trees and shrubs. This black mass starts to rise and my first thought is, "oh shit, we just woke up a bear!". Only problem was this black mass kept rising and rising and rising. I froze, not knowing that I was seeing. I knew there were no animals known to Central Oregon that were that big. I had no idea what to think. And that's when this black mass steps out from the thicket of trees and shrubs into full view. My eyes could not believe what I was seeing. Frozen in fear, hair standing up on the back of my neck, here was this huge dark brown bipedal creature that I would estimate to be maybe 2 feet taller than me. The head rested right on the body as if there was no neck at all. The shoulders on this thing had a massive width. And the arms seemed to be long, which would place the hands right around the knees. At the time I was experiencing mostly fear, but I know a small part of me was also amazed. I was seeing something that wasn't supposed to exist. I had heard about the legendary bigfoot and seen the Patterson footage. But I never thought much on the subject. When this creature stepped out, it was clear as day what I was witnessing and when I try to describe what I saw, this thing literally looked like the creature from the Patterson footage, except the hair seemed a bit shorter and cleaner. As this creature walked off into the woods, it never looked back. My friend and I only saw the back of this creature. I think it was possible we woke it up. In Shevlin Park there is a pond (the green dot in the photo) that was usually stocked with fish. I could only think that it might have come down in the night, had some fish, and decided to sleep a little longer than planned. As this creature walked off into the woods every step sounded like if you took a brick and threw it on the dirt and heard that thud. We watched this creature walk away for about 20 seconds until it was no longer in sight. This whole experience from it rising in the thicket to stepping out into view and walking off probably lasted around a minute. But during this encounter it felt like time almost stopped and my friend and I were frozen in fear for an hour. After the creature was no longer in view I turned to hear and all I could say was "what the heck was that!". She couldn't respond, still being confused about what she had just witnessed. We headed back to the car and when we both got in the car, I turned to hear and said, "I think we just saw bigfoot." From that day nature has never been the same. I still have a huge passion for the outdoors but since that encounter, I always catch myself scanning the tree line or taking a moment to pause and listen, wondering if I would run into this creature again. I remember being excited to share the experience with my mom once she got home from work. First thing she asked me was if I had been smoking anything. She found the whole thing funny and she listened to my whole encounter but I could tell she did not believe me. It turned into a joke, a laughing matter, that to this day, I still get laughed at if I bring it up. It was the same way when I shared my encounter with my friends. That was a huge blow realizing that nobody believed me. I realized that this was something that I couldn't just share with people. So I kept it locked away. I figured, although terrifying, what an awesome experience to get to see something that most people think doesn't even exist. I moved on with my life after that encounter figuring that was a once in a lifetime encounter. Odds of something like that happening again, yeah right. Which brings me to my second encounter. Encounter #2 In Bend there wasn't much back to do on a weekend when I was in my early 20's. You could go to the bars, or find a house party, or take off into the woods and have yourself a nice bonfire party with friends. Those were very popular back in my day. Now I cannot remember the specific year this took place. Maybe 2004. It was summer. My group of guy friends and I were always looking for the next best place to have a bonfire party so we would cruise the forest roads, or even unmarked roads, looking for the perfect spot. In the photo I included you'll see the yellow dot is where we had found this perfect little cul de sac at the end of a dirt road. This was just south of Bend so it didn't take long to get there either. It was perfect and became our go to spot for just us guys. The cul de sac had a huge manzanita field growing next to it. In the photo you'll see the manzanita is the light green area and we were also nestled up next to the lava flow. However the end of this dirt road was lined with fresh pine trees that ranged in heights of just 1ft to around 20 ft. They basically created a wall to where you couldn't really see the field unless you pushed through the wall of trees to the other side. So, one night my friends and I head out to our spot. It's a normal night of relaxing, having a very laid back time. At one point during the night, out of nowhere, we heard this scream/howl off in the distance. In the photo the red dot on the other side of the lava flow is where I would have guessed this sound came from. This scream/howl lasted for maybe 10 seconds. We all got real quiet wondering what that was. And of course, after the encounter I had a few years prior, I immediately said, "That is bigfoot!" I of course received plenty of laughter from my friends but I told them again, "I know it's crazy but that is legit a bigfoot. That's what they sound like." After my first encounter I dove into my research and listened to recordings of howls, read up what research was available at the time. They kept poking fun and eventually I just brushed it off. I was reminded that it didn't matter that I had an encounter. I knew they would never believe me anyways unless they experienced it for themselves. So I brushed it off and we continued through our night. Now I would guess around an hour and a half to maybe 2 hours later, there we are, chatting it up. It's nice and quiet. The fire is going strong. The sky is filled with stars. And then it happened... Out of nowhere, the loudest scream, growl, howl, which seemed all combined into one poured into our little cul de sac area. It sounded like a monster. That's the only way I can put it. And whatever this thing was, was directly right behind the wall of trees. It had to have been maybe 15 to 20 feet from us. I'll never forget, when I play the event over in my head, the feeling I had in my chest. It's like I could feel this animal's growl/scream/howl inside my chest. It felt like I had been stunned. All I know is when this vocalization hit me, it knocked me over in my camping chair. My friend to the left of me also was knocked over. But my friends that had their backs to the wall of trees, they lunged forward out of their seats unbelievably fast. Myself and my friend who had also been knocked backwards in our chairs got up from the dirt at lightning speed. I think myself and my 4 friends were in my car, doors locked, in a matter of seconds. In the photo, as mentioned, the yellow dot was where our site was, and the red dot next to it, is where I believe this creature was. My friends and I sat in the car for over an hour debating on who was going to get out and put the fire out. None of us wanted to exit the car after hearing this beastly roar. I could see in my friends faces they were scared, as was I. I kept thinking, that could only have been a bigfoot. But instead of hearing one of these vocalizations from far away like others have heard, we had front row seats. Only difference was that this creature sounded mad. The vocalization gave the feeling that this thing wanted us out of there. Eventually we all agreed to get out together and put the fire out. I had never seen my friends move so cautiously and on the ready for retreat in case this creature was still around. In the end, we got the fire out and left. And after that night, we never went back to that spot. The car ride back into town was quiet. I could tell none of us wanted to talk about what had just happened. And after that night, we didn't speak of it again. We all knew we experienced something that night that scared the toughness out of all of us. Almost like the feeling of being a little kid scared of a monster. And I hope to never hear a noise like that again in my life."

In this week's Ag Tribes Report, host Vance Crowe is joined by dairy farmer and Bitcoiner JR Burdick for a fast-paced tour through the biggest stories shaping agriculture. They unpack President Trump's viral post urging ranchers to lower beef prices and the backlash from cattle producers who point to low herd size, packer settlements, and market volatility driven by political posts. Then they dig into the looming SNAP crunch amid the government shutdown, how an AWS outage jammed up harvest logistics and farmgate payments, and the partial reopening of FSA offices to process $3B in producer payments—plus the real-world cash flow pinch for beginning farmers. JR also delivers the Bitcoin Land Price Report, shares why he's bullish on both land and Bitcoin, and explains practical resiliency lessons from a payments outage. We close with his Peter Thiel paradox—Gen Z's push to rebuild rural “place” over “career”—and a candid look at rebuilding community, selling raw milk and pastured pork, and accepting Bitcoin on the farm.

You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes!Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria.There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils.You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels. Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day!If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods:1. Fast food fries and fried chicken 2. Deep-fried restaurant foods 3. Chips/crisps/corn chips4. Doughnuts and pastries5. Sweetened drinks 6. Frozen breaded foods 7. Commercial salad dressing and mayo8.

Russian assets abroad were frozen almost as soon as the country launched its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The idea of seizing those assets and transferring them to Ukraine has been discussed in Western capitals for more than three years, but no significant action has been taken because the assets are protected by sovereign immunity and the West is officially not at war with Russia. Now, with a new administration in the United States and the war of attrition in Ukraine dragging on, European leaders find themselves between a rock—the need to show unwavering support for Ukraine—and a hard place: growing public discontent at having to fund this war from European pockets, when there are billions of euros in Russian money sitting in Western bank accounts.What would the procedure be for embarking on such a complex legal matter? What would setting such a precedent mean for the EU, the euro, and the dollar, and for the countries looking to deposit their reserves in the EU? And does Europe have a plan B if internal divisions can't be overcome?

Before there were luxury boxes and retractable roofs, there was Lambeau where the turf is frozen, the cheese is sacred, and the fans never sit down. In this episode, we take a walk through the history of the oldest stadium in the NFL. From Curly to Lombardi, ice bowls to beer brats, this is the story of how a small-town team built a legendary home right in the middle of someone's neighborhood.And yes, as a Lions fan, I can admit it… Lambeau is kinda magical. Annoying, but magical.
There's a kind of silence in old houses that feels alive, as if the walls themselves are holding their breath. Sixteen-year-old Sammy knew that silence well. He roamed his family's Portland home at night, never afraid of the dark — until the dark started answering back. It began with a phantom scream in the kitchen — sharp, ragged, and close enough to freeze him in his tracks. No one else heard it. Weeks later, he glimpsed the blur of a boy-sized shadow darting past the kitchen wall… only to find his brother walking calmly down the hall. But nothing prepared him for what formed one late night while he sat at his computer: a pale green mist gathering in his bedroom doorway, stretching upward until it shaped shoulders, a tilted head, even the suggestion of a long ponytail. The figure didn't move. It just stood there, watching — not angry, not kind, simply measuring him in silence. Frozen with dread, Sammy finally turned away, too terrified to look again. By morning, the doorway was empty, but the memory of that unearthly presence stayed. This true ghost story isn't about rattling chains or slamming doors. It's about the haunting quiet of a spirit that seemed almost human — intelligent enough to retreat when it sensed the living weren't ready. Was it a restless soul tied to the old Portland house? A stranger who died long ago? Or a spirit patiently waiting to finish a conversation it never got to start? Watch now and step into the eerie silence that still lingers between a glowing monitor and a darkened hall. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedHouse #PortlandGhostStory #MistApparition #TeenSeesGhost #CreepyDoorway #UnexplainedPhenomena #ParanormalActivity #RestlessSpirit Love real ghost stories?

Weeks later, he glimpsed the blur of a boy-sized shadow darting past the kitchen wall… only to find his brother walking calmly down the hall. But nothing prepared him for what formed one late night while he sat at his computer: a pale green mist gathering in his bedroom doorway, stretching upward until it shaped shoulders, a tilted head, even the suggestion of a long ponytail. The figure didn't move. It just stood there, watching — not angry, not kind, simply measuring him in silence. Frozen with dread, Sammy finally turned away, too terrified to look again. By morning, the doorway was empty, but the memory of that unearthly presence stayed. This true ghost story isn't about rattling chains or slamming doors. It's about the haunting quiet of a spirit that seemed almost human — intelligent enough to retreat when it sensed the living weren't ready. Was it a restless soul tied to the old Portland house? A stranger who died long ago? Or a spirit patiently waiting to finish a conversation it never got to start? Watch now and step into the eerie silence that still lingers between a glowing monitor and a darkened hall. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedHouse #PortlandGhostStory #MistApparition #TeenSeesGhost #CreepyDoorway #UnexplainedPhenomena #ParanormalActivity #RestlessSpirit Love real ghost stories?

It's the “Shutdown Showdown,” starring President Trump in the role only he could make iconic: The guy who can freeze more taxpayer money than Elsa in ‘Frozen.' Democrats threaten to “shut down” the government, and Trump's response? “That's cute, watch this.” When Trump froze $2.1 billion for Chicago because of DEI non-compliance, even Brandon Johnson had to find a white man to read him the fine print. Meanwhile, California burns $6.5 billion a year on healthcare for illegals, but the moment Trump tightens the purse strings, they act like he's stolen all the Girl Scout cookies in Sacramento.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest place on Earth. It's a frozen continent at the bottom of the world, covered almost entirely by ice. Even though people don't live there permanently, scientists travel to Antarctica to study its wildlife, glaciers, and weather. Penguins, seals, and whales survive in this extreme environment, showing how life can adapt to the harshest conditions. This video explores the icy landscapes of Antarctica, what makes it so important for Earth's climate, and why protecting this frozen world helps scientists understand our planet's future.

Filmmakers Dennis Cahlo and Bethany Watson join Adam and Joe to discuss the making of their new series THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA (now streaming on Screambox). From meeting on a podcast and getting together romantically… to making the decision to leave previously established careers and become full time filmmakers… to making short films together before putting together a mock trailer to sell their vision for THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA… to pulling off the feat of shooting their 6 episode series with extremely limited resources, a tiny crew and only 19 days… to the casting of their fully non-union cast and the careful planning that went into making each day of filming… to working with Screambox and the pressure they put on themselves wanting to make sure that the platform's first original series was a success… to the ins and outs of co-directing and co-producing effectively as a couple… to the hurdles of working with practical effects when there is often only one take to get it right, Dennis and Bethany's accomplishment with TESSA is one that will surely inspire other filmmakers to find their own way to make big things happen.

Shoulder pain may show up as bursitis, rotator cuff issues, arthritis, or frozen shoulder—but what if the deeper driver is how much you're carrying for everyone else? In this episode, Heather McKean reframes shoulder symptoms through a Mind Change lens: the shoulders as the “seat of responsibility,” where unexamined roles, people-pleasing, control, suppressed anger, resentment, guilt, and fear of saying no can harden into pain and even immobility. You'll hear a powerful case study (“Elena”) that maps childhood roots of over-responsibility into adult patterns, a practical medical overview, and how left vs. right shoulder messages can differ. Heather then offers clear next steps—rewiring subconscious scripts, practicing loving “no's,” auditing which responsibilities are truly yours, and using forgiveness to release resentment—so your body can stop protesting and start recovering.What we covered in this episode:

25 Frozen, 1 Thawed: Murder and Mayhem in the Midwest takes readers deep into the heart of unsolved mysteries and chilling crimes that have haunted communities across the Midwest.From small towns shattered by sudden disappearances to cities rocked by violent acts, each chapter brings a different story—twenty-five cases left frozen in time, still waiting for justice. The book explores murders that stunned neighborhoods, kidnappings that tore families apart, and mysteries that investigators chased for years. In these pages, the quiet streets of Missouri, Illinois, and beyond become the backdrop for secrets, heartbreak, and unanswered questions.But not every case remains locked in ice. One story breaks free—the “thawed” case—where persistence and detail uncovered the truth and shows that even the coldest mysteries can sometimes find resolution.With a journalist's eye for fact and a storyteller's gift for detail, Cyphers presents the lives lost, the families still searching for answers, and the investigators who refused to give up. Rather than sensationalizing tragedy, the book restores humanity to the victims while revealing the lasting impact of crime on entire communities.25 Frozen, 1 Thawed is a testament to memory, resilience, and the hope that justice may yet be found—even decades later. 25 FROZEN, 1 THAWED: Murder and Mayhem in the Midwest—Bob Cyphers

In October of 1991, a young mother in San Diego thought she was just surviving the aftermath of a divorce, raising her infant daughter, and working long hours. But what happened in her home that month became one of the most chilling true haunted house stories you'll ever hear. It began with a sound — moaning in the night — and the sight of a phantom arm, clothed in a jacket sleeve yet transparent. Her baby cried from a room turned ice cold, though it was a warm California night. That was only the beginning. The next night brought terror. Frozen in bed, unable to move, she felt a crushing weight on her chest. Panic rose until a massive glowing orb ripped itself off her body, vibrating and fluttering before shooting through mirrored closet doors and vanishing into the night like a UFO. At 3:00 AM, two nights in a row, she fought back — screaming, praying, demanding, “God's my Savior, you cannot have me or my daughter.” Her child cried again in the freezing nursery, though her sitter dismissed her fears. Even her grandfather — a no-nonsense Navy engineer and skeptic — began experiencing strange phenomena: lights crawling up walls and the apparition of a man in a cap silently standing by his chair. Was it sleep paralysis, a demonic attack, or something darker tied to the home's energy? Whatever it was, it left scars of fear, faith, and survival. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealHauntings #DemonicEncounter #SanDiegoHaunting #RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalStories #3AMHaunting #SleepParalysisOrSpirit #TheGraveTalks Love real ghost stories?

Imagine living across from a graveyard for forty-three years — and slowly realizing your home has become a mirror image of The Amityville Horror. That's the reality Katie faced in Oyster Bay, Long Island, in a story so terrifying it left her with PTSD. At first, the haunting was subtle. Certain rooms in the house carried an oppressive heaviness, so overwhelming that Katie, an empath, could barely enter them without running out. Then came the footsteps — heavy, deliberate, pacing the upstairs hallway night after night. She thought it was her father. He thought it was her. Neither of them were moving. Soon, things escalated. Unplugged electronics. Doors opening. Nights spent downstairs while footsteps thundered up and down the staircase with no one there. But nothing could prepare Katie for the night it revealed itself. After turning off her TV, she rolled over and saw a massive black figure standing in her room — tall, thin, something like a Slender Man cloaked in shadow. Frozen in fear, she cried herself to sleep, only to wake to its growling voice: “GET OUT. I'M GOING TO HURT YOUR SISTER.” Moments later, she heard her sister screaming from the room next door. Paralyzed, unable to scream for help, Katie whispered for her stepmother — a former cop — but no sound came. The terror left her in a trance until she collapsed back into sleep. In the morning, she learned the family dog had been defecating in her room out of fear, and her stepmother admitted she'd seen the same dark figure entering Katie's bedroom for years. This is Oyster Bay's real haunting. A story of shadow men, family terror, and a presence that refused to leave. #Amityville #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowMan #OysterBay #RealGhostStories #ParanormalActivity #DemonicEncounter Love real ghost stories?
