The spirit had vowed to put John Bell in his grave, and on a December morning in 1820 a coma, a smoky vial of black poison, and a dead barn cat proved she meant every word.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/bellwitchfinallaughREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yfpsnbfwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did a malevolent spirit cause the death of John Bell, or was it something else that brought his demise?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021Weird Darkness gathers four accounts of the inexplicable across this episode — a frontier farmer poisoned by a spirit, a midnight keyboard played by no one, the worldwide superstitions surrounding human skulls, and a hidden reading of the Watergate burglary.It opens with the death of John Bell, the Tennessee gentleman farmer remembered as the only man ever murdered by a spirit. For nearly four years the entity known as the Bell Witch had tormented his household with attacks, flying objects, and a disembodied voice, singling out Bell and his daughter Elizabeth, called Betsy, for the worst of it. On the morning of December 19, 1820, Bell could not be roused from a deep stupor, and his son John Jr. found the cupboard of prescribed medicines emptied and replaced by a smoky-looking vial holding a dark, nearly black liquid. The witch laughed over his bed and admitted she had dosed "Old Jack" the night before; when Alex Gunn brought in a barn cat and a straw of the liquid was drawn across its tongue, the animal screeched, whirled, and dropped dead. Dr. Hopson confirmed Bell had swallowed the contents, Frank Miles hurled the vial into the fire where it flared blue up the chimney, and Bell died early on December 20, 1820, never having woken.From there the episode turns to a quieter haunting, recounted by a father awakened at 1:14 a.m. on March 9, 2018 by a few composed notes from his twelve-year-old son's electronic keyboard. He found the boy sound asleep and the cat sitting upright on the bed, staring at the instrument, and when he pressed the keys himself no sound came because the power was switched off. The next morning he woke his son for school and recognized the boy's shirt, worn for the first time, as one that had belonged to his late brother, who died suddenly in 2015 and whose lifelong dream had been to play in his band, called Ghost Of. The shirt read "Rock Isn't Dead… it's just played by Ghost Of," and the brothers had shared a love of ghost stories and a standing joke that he would return to visit after death.Next comes a survey of the human skull as an object of dread and reverence stretching back through cultures on every continent, rooted in the old belief that the head housed the soul and offered a channel to the Other World. The segment weighs the disputed Celtic "Cult of the Head," with historian Ronald Hutton arguing the recurring head motif on Celtic metalwork reflects artistic fashion rather than worship, and moves through the 1612 trial of Lancashire witch Anne Chattox, hanged after she was accused of robbing graves for skulls and teeth. It gathers the screaming-skull legends of England, including Anne Griffiths of Burton Agnes Hall in Yorkshire, whose exhumed head was bricked into a staircase wall to quiet the slamming and crashing, and the skull at Bettiscombe Manor in Dorset, said to belong to an enslaved man brought from Nevis by the Pinney family and denied his promised burial in the Caribbean.The episode closes with a long, skeptical reexamination of Watergate that treats the official account as a fabrication. It returns to the June 17, 1972 arrest of five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee offices and the address book linking E. Howard Hunt to Nixon's White House, then argues, following journalist Jim Hougan's 1984 book Secret Agenda, that the men never actually bugged the building at all. James McCord, a senior figure in the CIA's Office of Security rather than the low-level technician he claimed, rented a line-of-sight surveillance room facing the wrong side of the complex, paid an employee to transcribe conversations from nonexistent wiretaps, and twice taped the stairwell locks horizontally across the door face so guards could not miss them. A key found on burglar Eugenio Martinez fit the desk of DNC secretary Ida Wells and pointed toward a suspected call-girl ring run out of the adjacent Columbia Plaza apartments, raising the possibility that Hunt and McCord, both career CIA men who lied about a decade-long association, sabotaged the break-in to shield a clandestine operation, to topple a president who had sidelined the agency, or both, taking the full truth with them to their graves.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destin, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes, racontées par Andréa Brusque. Cette semaine, plongez dans l'incroyable épopée de Narcisse Pelletier. Né au milieu du 19e siècle, ce jeune mousse engagé sur plusieurs navires marchands, se retrouve naufragé à l'autre bout de chez lui alors qu'il est âgé de seulement 14 ans. Seul sur une terre qu'il ne connaît pas, il va être recueilli et adopté par ceux que l'on surnomme alors à l'époque “des sauvages”. De son naufrage en Australie, où il sera abandonné et livré à lui-même à son retour en France, découvrez son fabuleux destin.  Le retour du “sauvage blanc”  Narcisse est désormais à bord du John Bell, un navire anglais qui navigue vers la colonie britannique la plus proche, Somerset. À bord, les marins s'empressent de donner à Narcisse des vêtements, qu'il n'avait plus porté pendant 17 ans. Ils sont profondément choqués de voir ce jeune homme blanc nu, portant un coquillage dans la cloison du nez et des cicatrices profondes sur le corps. Il est très anxieux sur le bateau et ne comprend pas un traître mot de ce qu'on lui dit. Les marins ont peur qu'il ne s'attaque à eux, mais veulent à tout prix le ramener à la civilisation. Le capitaine lui explique qu'ils ne sont pas venus pour lui faire du mal, mais au contraire pour lui sauver la vie. L'équipage va tout faire pour ramener Narcisse à sa famille… Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Mary-Lou Oeconomou Production : Bababam (montage Gilles Bawulak) Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

The FT's John Burn-Murdoch stands in for Amol, joined this week by the immunologist and geneticist Professor Sir John Bell. After talking about the radical change being ushered in by successive medical breakthroughs on the main podcast, Sir John takes your questions on implications of this profound change. Will we see only wealthy people being able to benefit from these revolutionary treatments? What impact will the Trump administration have on the advance of medical science? And just how close are we to effectively curing cancer? * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.uk Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Monday and Thursday.

To close out NZ Music Month, The Swap Meet went deep into the local crate for a full show of Aotearoa sounds - new, old, and a few things nobody's heard yet. We had exclusive pre-release listens from some killer upcoming records: The Lahaar, Nathan Haines & The Illusions, The Circling Sun, and a stunning ensemble session featuring Paul Dyne, Julien Dyne, Joe Kaptein, Isaac Aesilli, Lucien Johnson, Ruby Walsh, John Bell, Finn Scholes, and Harrison Choi - music that's due out soon and well worth the wait. Alongside those, the record bag was full of finds from a year of digging through dusty bins - everything from Kevin Field and Clear Path Ensemble to Gold Matter, Leonard Charles, Emcee Lucia, and a few real oddities that don't fit any neat category. Dujon Cullingford took over for a 30-minute mix focused on the yacht rock and AOR side of Aotearoa's 70s and 80s with Malcolm McCallum, Kim Hart, Rock Candy, Merv Owen and friends, all getting their moment.  The rest of the show kept moving through jazz, beats, soul: SPDRTWNBBY live at 95bFM, Alan Broadbent, Louisa Williamson, Wave Infinity Junction live, and closing things out with the Commodores' Cebu: RIP Ronald LaPread.

This week, John Burn-Murdoch sits in for Amol to speak to Professor Sir John Bell, one of Britain's leading medical scientists, about the huge (and often undiscussed) medical breakthroughs changing how we live, age and die. Medical advances have already added 12 years to average life expectancy in the UK in the last 50 years. But the next revolution may be even more radical: earlier cancer detection, personalised vaccines, obesity drugs, AI-driven prevention and treatments that could keep us healthier for longer. But with the science and technology moving this fast, can the health service, the economy, and the public keep up?GET IN TOUCH    WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  Email: radical@bbc.co.uk  Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

"Als ik niet naar de maan kijk, is hij er dan wel?" Het klinkt als een filosofische hersenkraker, maar voor kwantumfysicus Ronald Hanson is dit bittere ernst. In deze aflevering slopen we het fundament van de klassieke natuurkunde. Hanson vertelt hoe deeltjes op meerdere plekken tegelijk kunnen zijn (superpositie) en hoe twee deeltjes aan de andere kant van het universum 'verstrengeld' kunnen raken. Wat je hier doet, beïnvloedt direct wat daar gebeurt. Einstein noemde het "spookachtige actie op afstand" en weigerde het te geloven. Maar Hanson leverde het onomstotelijke bewijs met zijn wereldberoemde Loophole-free Bell test.

Together, they wander through Boston's oldest neighbourhoods, tracing the story of this harbour city from its pre-colonial roots, through Puritan settlement, to its rise as a major port and administrative centre of the British Atlantic world.

Long before horror movies or ghost-hunting shows, there was the Bell Witch — a real-life haunting so terrifying it became part of American folklore. In the early 1800s, the Bell family of Adams, Tennessee, were tormented by something unseen. It started with knocking on walls and grew into full-blown attacks — sheets ripped off, voices mocking them in the dark, and violent assaults on their daughter, Betsy. The spirit called itself Kate, but locals knew it as the Bell Witch. Even future president Andrew Jackson came to witness the haunting — and left convinced it was real. The witch claimed responsibility for John Bell's death… then promised to return every seven years — and again after a hundred. To this day, people near the Bell Witch Cave say they still hear whispers, see shadows, and feel the air turn cold around Halloween night. Was it a curse, a vengeful spirit, or something darker that still walks the land of Tennessee? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #BellWitch #HauntedTennessee #TrueGhostStory #AmericanHauntings #HalloweenSpecial #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #CursedGround #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?

En 1858, un jeune mousse français de 14 ans, Narcisse Pelletier, embarque à bord du Saint-Paul, un navire parti de Marseille vers l'Extrême-Orient. L'expédition transporte des marchandises et des émigrants italiens, mais au large de la Papouasie, le voyage tourne au drame. Le navire s'échoue sur les récifs de la côte nord-est de l'Australie, dans une zone aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de cap York, l'une des régions les plus isolées du continent.Les survivants, dont Narcisse, tentent d'atteindre la terre ferme à bord d'une chaloupe. Après plusieurs jours d'errance, épuisés et affamés, ils trouvent un point d'eau. Le capitaine, parti chercher de l'aide avec quelques hommes, ordonne au jeune garçon de monter la garde… mais ne revient jamais. Seul, abandonné sur une plage australienne, Narcisse Pelletier est convaincu qu'il va mourir.C'est alors qu'un groupe d'Aborigènes Uutaalnganu, peuple du nord du Queensland, le découvre. Loin de l'hostilité que craignait le jeune Français, ils le recueillent, le nourrissent et finissent par l'adopter. Ils le baptisent Amglo, et il devient, au fil des années, l'un des leurs.Narcisse apprend à chasser, à pêcher, à fabriquer des outils en pierre et en bois. Il se couvre de peinture rituelle, participe aux cérémonies, parle la langue locale, et épouse les coutumes du clan. Pendant dix-sept ans, il vit totalement intégré à cette communauté, oubliant jusqu'à ses origines européennes. Il n'est plus un marin perdu : il est un homme du bush.Mais en 1875, son destin bascule une seconde fois. Un navire britannique, le John Bell, longe la côte. Les marins remarquent un homme nu, à la peau claire, vivant parmi les autochtones. Narcisse est “retrouvé” et conduit à Sydney. Là, les autorités françaises apprennent son identité : le garçon disparu dix-sept ans plus tôt a survécu. Pourtant, le retour à la “civilisation” est un choc terrible. Il ne parle presque plus français, fuit la foule et le bruit des villes.Revenu à son port natal de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Narcisse Pelletier mène une existence discrète, hanté par le souvenir de son autre famille. Jusqu'à sa mort, en 1894, il restera tiraillé entre deux mondes — celui qu'il avait quitté et celui qu'il avait aimé. Son histoire, à mi-chemin entre le naufrage et la renaissance, demeure l'un des récits les plus émouvants de l'aventure humaine. Hébergé par Acast.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the German physicist who, at the age of 23 and while still a student, effectively created quantum mechanics for which he later won the Nobel Prize. Werner Heisenberg made this breakthrough in a paper in 1925 when, rather than starting with an idea of where atomic particles were at any one time, he worked backwards from what he observed of atoms and their particles and the light they emitted, doing away with the idea of their continuous orbit of the nucleus and replacing this with equations. This was momentous and from this flowed what's known as his Uncertainty Principle, the idea that, for example, you can accurately measure the position of an atomic particle or its momentum, but not both.
