Five prisoners are kept awake for fifteen days in a sealed chamber — and what the researchers find when they open the door no longer wants to be set free. A blockbuster film series trails a string of real-life deaths its cast can't explain. On the back roads of Maryland, a half-goat figure waits for teenagers who wander too far. And one ordinary night in El Paso, a couple walks out of their home — dishes still in the sink, cat unfed — and is never seen again.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/russiansleepexperiment/READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3rr9mhjxFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Russian Sleep Experiment *** The Poltergeist Film Curse *** The Goat-Man of Maryland *** The Patterson Family Disappearance *** The Legend of the LeprechaunCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:06.939 = Show Open00:01:55.409 = The Poltergeist Curse00:06:21.074 = The Goatman of Prince George's County00:14:07.417 = The Lore of the Leprechaun ***00:16:55.345 = Vanishing of the Pattersons00:27:39.437 = The Russian Sleep Experiment ***00:43:05.653 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 22, 2018Weird Darkness travels from a cursed Hollywood film set to a Maryland goat-monster, the cobbler-fairies of Irish legend, a vanished El Paso couple, and a blood-soaked Soviet sleep laboratory where the test subjects no longer wanted to be set free.It opens with the deaths that shadow the Poltergeist films, beginning with Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne Freeling from the original 1982 release through both sequels and died at twelve in San Diego in February 1986 during surgery for a bowel obstruction later traced to a congenital intestinal flaw. Dominique Dunne, who played older sister Dana Freeling, was strangled in 1982 by John Sweeney outside her Hollywood home, and Sweeney served just three years and seven months. Julian Beck, the gaunt preacher Kane of Poltergeist II, died of stomach cancer in 1983, and Will Sampson, who played the shaman Taylor, died after a heart-lung transplant — four deaths that fed a curse legend later thickened by JoBeth Williams' claim that Steven Spielberg used real human skeletons as cheaper props and by Sampson's own ritual cleansing of the set.From there the episode crosses into Prince George's County, Maryland, where the Goatman has stalked local legend for decades. One origin story sets him at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a half-man, half-goat creature born from a USDA experiment gone wrong; another makes him a herdsman driven mad after teenagers slaughtered his flock. University of Maryland folklorist Barry Pearson traces his heyday to the 1970s and the 1971 decapitation of a puppy named Ginger in Bowie, an incident the Washington Post covered and locals pinned on the creature haunting Fletchertown and Lottsford roads, while Beltsville spokesperson Kim Kaplan dryly wonders whether a goatman that old would be collecting Social Security by now.Next the show turns to Irish folklore and the leprechaun, the solitary fairy whose name traces to a Gaelic root for a small body or a shoemaker. Standing two to three feet tall in a green or red coat and buckled shoes, he works as a fairy cobbler who stitches only a single shoe and never a pair, guards a hidden pot of gold, and trades three wishes for his freedom when a human manages to catch him. He lives in cave networks reached through rabbit holes and the hollow trunks of fairy trees, and damaging one of those trees is said to draw a lifetime of bad luck.From the green hills of Ireland the episode moves to El Paso, Texas, where William and Margaret Patterson left their home at 3000 Piedmont Drive on March 5, 1957 and were never seen again, dinner dishes still in the sink and their cat Tommy left without food. The owners of Patterson Photo Supply vanished without packing a suitcase, their associate Doyle Kirkland turned up driving William's Cadillac with a thin story about a vacation, and a telegram from Dallas signed with the wrong middle initial named Kirkland as William's replacement at the store. Decades on, caretaker Reinaldo Nangre claimed he had cleaned blood from the garage and found a piece of scalp on the boat propeller before dying in a car crash, and Sheriff Leo Samaniego floated the theory that the couple were Soviet spies photographing Fort Bliss, leaving a disappearance that was declared a death in 1964 and has never been solved.The episode closes in the late 1940s, when Soviet researchers sealed five political prisoners in a chamber and kept them awake for fifteen days with an experimental gas-based stimulant, promising freedom in exchange for thirty sleepless days. Paranoia set in after five days, screaming after nine, and when the chamber was opened on the fifteenth the soldiers found four men still alive amid their own torn-out organs, having eaten their own flesh and blocked the floor drain with it, fighting any attempt to remove them and begging for the gas rather than sleep. One subject, pinned for surgery without anesthetic, wrote only the words "keep cutting," and as the last of them was shot through the heart he claimed to be the madness that lurks in every sleeping mind, choking out that he was so nearly free.

This week on That Tech Pod, we sit down with Sebastian Wernicke, a globally recognized expert on data and AI strategy whose TED Talks have been viewed more than five million times. Sebastian argues that successful AI adoption has far less to do with choosing the right tools and far more to do with building the right culture.We explore why "data-driven" organizations often struggle to make better decisions, and why Sebastian prefers the idea of being "data-inspired" instead. He explains how leaders can create cultures built on evidence, curiosity, and better questions rather than dashboards and reports. The conversation also takes a fresh look at Shadow AI. Rather than treating employees' use of unauthorized AI tools as simply a security problem, Sebastian explains why it can be a signal that workers are frustrated by broken processes, inefficient workflows, and organizational bottlenecks. We also tackle the growing debate around whether AI is entering bubble territory, what executives misunderstand about AI demand, and how massive investments like Kirkland & Ellis's reported $500 million AI initiative could reshape competition across industries. Will AI become a game where only the largest organizations can afford to compete, or will smaller companies find new ways to stay ahead? Finally, Sebastian shares examples from his book Data Inspired that show how organizations can unlock the value of data not through technology purchases, but through culture, leadership, and better decision-making habits. If you're trying to separate AI hype from business reality, this episode offers a practical roadmap for what actually drives transformation.A leading expert in data and AI strategy, Sebastian Wernicke believes that the key to unlocking data's power lies not in technology, but in leaders fostering a culture of evidence and inquiry. For over 20 years, Sebastian has guided organizations around the world to harness the power of data and AI to achieve breakthrough transformation. Sebastian's ability to make complex topics around data accessible, engaging, and actionable has made him a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. His three acclaimed TED Talks have reached over 5 million viewers.

Feliks Banel's guests on this ENCORE EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY are a panel of expert local historians, researchers and authors who have been collaborating on a search for evidence of Peter Kirk's long-ago steel mill on Rose Hill, east of downtown Kirkland near the Costco. Matt McCauley, Kent Sullivan, Saundra Middleton (who is a descendant of Peter Kirk) and Michael Donnelly have been studying archives, maps, photos and other materials to paint a vivid picture of the partial construction of the mill in the 1890s, the specific whereabouts of various buildings and structures, as well as the ultimate fate of the site (and of Kirk's venture) in the early 20th century. We also played some vintage audio honoring Tony Ventrella, the beloved local broadcaster who passed away on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at age 80.

In this episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence welcome Melissa Kalka, Partner at Kirkland & Ellis, for an insightful conversation exploring the intersection of digital infrastructure, finance, law, and artificial intelligence. From her unconventional career path to her front-row seat to some of the industry's most transformative transactions, Melissa shares valuable perspectives on what it takes to navigate one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world.Melissa reflects on her journey from commercial real estate banking during the 2008 financial crisis to becoming a trusted advisor on complex digital infrastructure investments. While many view law as rigid and procedural, Melissa reveals the creativity and problem-solving that drew her to the profession and continue to fuel her passion today:"I truly love what I do and I always have. The hours that I work and how much I pour into this — you have to be having fun, otherwise it's not worth it. On the M&A and private equity side, you really get to step into that advisor role and be creative and bounce ideas off of people."As the conversation unfolds, Melissa explains how the rapid rise of AI has transformed data centers from a niche asset class into critical infrastructure supporting the digital economy. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at how investors evaluate opportunities, what risks matter most, and why today's projects require unprecedented collaboration between legal, financial, operational, power, and regulatory experts.At the center of her work is helping clients understand and navigate risk in an environment where billions of dollars are being invested into assets that continue to evolve in real time:"My job first and foremost is to identify the risk, identify the leakage, and help my client understand that. If I understand what their priorities are, I can structure things however I need to. But understanding that timeline on a crisp level — from getting control of the land to permitting, power, financing, and technology — is incredibly important."Melissa also shares her perspective on artificial intelligence and how it is already reshaping the legal profession. Rather than replacing expertise, she sees AI as a powerful tool that can enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and allow professionals to spend more time focusing on strategy and business outcomes. The discussion explores both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with adopting these technologies as the industry continues to evolve.Looking toward the future, Melissa remains energized by the pace of innovation and the opportunities emerging across the digital infrastructure landscape. From AI workloads and advanced chip technology to new financing models and evolving legal frameworks, she believes the industry is still in its early chapters:"It's an incredibly exciting place to be right now. I can't think of a more dynamic industry. I've worked on pharma, energy, and traditional infrastructure, and this is the most dynamic and exciting thing. I still feel like we're in the second inning of this, and there's still a lot of white space that we haven't even talked about."Whether you're interested in digital infrastructure, law, finance, technology, or leadership, this episode offers a compelling look at the people, partnerships, and innovation driving the future of our connected world.To learn more about Melissa Kalka, connect with her on LinkedIn.

Our latest Anchoring Truths Podcast episode centers on a 2026 case in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, covering New York City. This case presented a fascinating opportunity to discuss the intersection of Natural Law, international law, and contract law. Petersen Energia Inversora v. YPF (2nd Cir. opinion here) concerns how Argentina raised more than a billion dollars from American investors on the New York Stock Exchange with ironclad anti-nationalization guarantees—only to seize YPF in 2012 and, according to the plaintiffs, stiff minority shareholders out of $16 billion.We are thrilled to discuss this case in light of those larger considerations with one of the lawyers for Petersen, our old friend and returning podcast guest Mike Fragoso. Mike is a partner at Torridon Law PLLC and counsel for Petersen Energia Inversora in one of the most important corporate-governance cases in a decade. Before entering private practice, Michael served as Chief Counsel to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, where he advised on judicial nominations, legislation, and high-stakes oversight. He previously held senior roles on the Senate Judiciary Committee, served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy, clerked for Judge Diane Sykes on the Seventh Circuit, and began his career as a litigator at Kirkland & Ellis. A Notre Dame Law graduate (where he was a student of JWI's co-director Gerry Bradley) and Princeton alum (where he was a student of our friend Robert George), his writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and elsewhere. We hope you enjoy the program.Read Fragoso's assessment of the Second Circuit ruling in City Journal.

Needle-Free Peptides, US Manufacturing, BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, GLP-1s, Microneedle Patches, and How to Avoid Contaminated Peptides Peptides are one of the most powerful tools in biohacking and anti-aging medicine, and until now, most people couldn't access them safely, legally, or without a needle. This episode changes that. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Go to Aminoinnovations.com and use “asprey20” for a discount through the next 7 days Host Dave Asprey sits down with Justin Kirkland, a longevity medicine expert with over 30 years in drug development and pharmaceutical innovation. Kirkland holds multiple drug synthesis and formulation patents, has founded multiple pharmaceutical companies, and is one of the few people in the world manufacturing peptides entirely on US soil, controlling every step of the synthesis process from raw amino acids to finished product. If you want to understand what is really inside your peptides and why it matters for your longevity and human performance, he is the person to listen to. Dave and Justin go deep on why most peptides on the gray market contain dangerous residual compounds that can spike liver enzymes and cause real harm, why Chinese-sourced APIs are not always what they claim to be, and how a new generation of needle-free delivery systems including microneedle patches and auto-injectors is making peptide therapy accessible to anyone serious about longevity and human performance. They also cover how AI and functional medicine are converging to make peptide protocols personalized based on genetics and microbiome status, why the thymus gland is one of the most overlooked anti-aging targets in the body, and what the suppression of peptide research reveals about who really controls your access to health tools. You Will Learn: Why many gray market peptides contain toxic residual acids that damage the liver and how to identify clean products How microneedle patches and auto-injectors are replacing traditional injections for peptide delivery Which peptides are most effective for longevity, immune system repair, and human performance including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, and growth hormone secretagogues Why your genetics and gut microbiome determine whether a peptide will work for you at all How the thymus gland controls your immune system and why it disappears by your mid-20s What the suppression of peptide research tells you about Big Pharma's control over your supplement and nootropics access Why US-manufactured peptides represent a new standard for safety and quality in biohacking How AI is transforming personalized peptide protocols in functional medicine Which peptides are overhyped and which ones actually move the needle on anti-aging and recovery How to store, mix, and dose peptides correctly to avoid the mistakes most people using them are making right now Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave - Fatty15 is on a mission to support Healthy Aging for All, including all ages and stages of life.

The dream of light rail to Ballard just took a big hit. The Sound Transit Board voted last week on how to move forward with expanding the system and how to cover a $34 billion dollar budget shortfall over the next two decades. After a marathon voting session, the board moved forward with several major projects. Those include: finishing rail to Everett and Tacoma, building a West Seattle extension, adding a new station at Graham Street, and making a new line between Issaquah and Kirkland (though, the delivery target is now 2050). You may have heard the board did not, however, prioritize getting light rail to Ballard. Instead, under the new plan, the line will stop at Seattle Center.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Byron Kirkland for a wide-ranging conversation about culture, business, creativity, faith, family, and the unexpected paths that can shape a career. Byron has spent years building relationships, creating opportunities, and working behind the scenes in spaces that connect music, branding, lifestyle, and entrepreneurship. What comes through in this conversation is his ability to move between industries while staying grounded in the values that matter most to him.The discussion explores Byron's journey from being connected to the world of hip-hop and entertainment to building something entirely his own through Masterpiece. Along the way, he shares lessons learned from working around influential artists, brands, and decision-makers, while also explaining why long-term thinking often beats chasing quick wins. For creatives trying to build sustainable careers, Byron offers a refreshing perspective on patience, consistency, and staying focused on the bigger picture.A major theme throughout the episode is the relationship between identity and opportunity. Byron talks about how personal values can shape business decisions and why understanding who you are can be one of the biggest advantages in any industry. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, freelancer, or business owner, the conversation highlights the importance of building genuine connections instead of treating every interaction like a transaction.Luis and Byron also discuss the role of faith and family in entrepreneurship. Success is often presented as a solo journey, but Byron shares how the people around us can influence the direction of our lives and careers. The conversation digs into responsibility, leadership, and the challenge of balancing ambition with the relationships that matter most. These moments give the episode a deeper and more personal feel beyond traditional business advice.Another fascinating part of the discussion centers around Byron's experiences within music culture and his connections to artists such as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Cordae. Rather than focusing on celebrity stories alone, Byron explains what he learned from observing talented people operate at a high level. The lessons apply far beyond entertainment and offer valuable insight into preparation, professionalism, and maintaining strong relationships over time.The conversation also explores Byron's connection to the golf industry, a space that has opened new doors and created unexpected opportunities. What might seem like a completely different world from music actually shares many of the same principles: networking, branding, community, and trust. Byron explains how understanding culture and people can help bridge seemingly unrelated industries and create unique business opportunities.Throughout the episode, listeners will hear practical insights about building a brand, navigating career transitions, developing authentic relationships, and creating opportunities through consistency. Byron's story is a reminder that success is rarely a straight line and that some of the most meaningful opportunities come from being prepared when the right moment arrives.Whether you're building a personal brand, launching a business, pursuing a creative career, or simply looking for inspiration from someone who has successfully navigated multiple industries, this conversation is packed with ideas that can help you think differently about success and the path it takes to get there.

The University of Arizona recognized Friday roughly 70 Native American graduates with a special celebration. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, an Indigenous actor was the event's keynote speaker. Dallas Goldtooth (Diné and Mdewakanton Dakota) is arguably best known for his role in the Peabody Award-winning FX series, “Reservation Dogs”. Goldtooth plays a comedic spiritual guide to a teen living in an Oklahoma rez town. He co-founded the 1491s, an all-Native sketch comedy group that uses humor as a way to tackle stereotypes of Indigenous people and complex social issues. Native Americans make up about 4% of the university's student body. Ice is seen held in place on the Kuskokwim River downriver from Aniak on May 8, 2026. (Photo: Samantha Watson / KYUK) The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs says it is distributing $20 million in emergency funding to more than a dozen Alaska Native communities in response to shortages of essential supplies and urgent infrastructure needs. As KYUK's Evan Erickson reports, the lion's share of the funding, $16 million, is going to the Kuskokwim Delta coastal village of Chefornak to address the impacts of severe erosion, permafrost thaw, and failing infrastructure. According to a press release, the funds are intended to restore damaged wetlands, address unsafe structures, relocate at-risk homes, and reconstruct the community's barge landing. Chefornak and 15 other communities spread across a vast swath of the state will also receive a portion of an additional $4 million that the federal government is using to purchase thousands of gallons of heating fuel, along with potable water supplies, and firewood. The press release says delayed spring barge deliveries, restricted water systems, and extreme winter conditions led to supply shortages in the communities receiving assistance. The announcement comes after Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Billy Kirkland was in Alaska to meet with tribal leaders. Kirkland appeared alongside U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in Anchorage and Bethel as part of hearings of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on federal disaster support and the question of climate-driven village relocation.

Officials say dry spring conditions and warming temperatures are increasing wildfire risks in rural communities across the state. The Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection says many Alaska wildfires are caused by human activity, including escaped burn piles, campfires, and sparks from equipment or vehicles. Officials are urging residents to prepare emergency kits, create evacuation plans, and clear brush and other flammable materials away from homes and buildings. Alaska Native organizations are also working with communities on climate adaptation, emergency preparedness, and public health planning efforts tied to wildfire smoke and extreme weather. Meanwhile, tribal leaders in western Alaska are calling for stronger tribally led disaster response systems as communities face increasing wildfire and environmental threats. Some rural communities are also concerned about how major wildfires could impact subsistence activities, travel routes, and deliveries of food, fuel, and other critical supplies during the summer months. Fire officials say even a single spark can quickly ignite dry grass during spring conditions.  Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Photo: Artwork featured as part of the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition’s installation and community gathering at City Hall, May 4, 2026. (Courtesy The Ottawa Mission / Facebook) Across Canada this week, communities commemorated Red Dress Day with ceremonies. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, the annual day on May 5 has become a national day of awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). On Parliament Hill in Ottawa and cities and towns across the country, people gathered for the fifteenth anniversary of Red Dress Day. They come to heal, to remember, and to honour the Indigenous people who were murdered or who have disappeared. Mary Daoust is the co-chair of the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition. “Their voices can no longer be heard, but they can be heard through us. And that's why we're here today, is to speak and honour, and respect the ones that didn't have those voices and the ones that went missing, and the ones that aren't coming home. That we are still here and we have not forgotten them.” People took part in ceremonies and educational exhibits – and created activities to honour the lives the legacies of Indigenous people. The events also included drum groups and throat singers, a sacred fire and honour songs, and, of course, people wearing a red dress. Jenny Sawanohk is an Indigenous healer and member of the Cree First Nation. “I've seen violence. I've been in communities that have been impacted by this directly. I've had family members that have been victims of violence. A lot of us are in mourning. And we will be in mourning until this gets properly addressed. And we needed this day to really bring awareness and attention to it.” Vigils and marches were also held across the country. This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of the national inquiry into MMIP. That resulted in an action plan with 231 calls for justice. According to the federal government, Indigenous women are twelve times more likely than non-Indigenous women to be murdered or end up missing. Billy Kirkland in Anchorage, Alaska. (Courtesy U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs / X) May is when the federal VIP season in Alaska really gets going – when high ranking federal officials tour the state to roll out new policies, hand out grants, or just simply listen to what people have to say. The Department of Interior sent some of its top people to Anchorage Tuesday for a closed-door meeting on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). As Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports, they acknowledged that the number of Alaska cases has reached a crisis point. In the Cook Inlet Tribal Council's meeting room, more than two dozen Alaska Native and government leaders looked across tables at each other. U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) led the discussion. “The two top guys in America on these issues are here in this room right now.” Those top guys were Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Billy Kirkland (Navajo) and Bryan Mercier (Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon), the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). They came to announce the re-introduction of Operation Lady Justice, launched by Tara Sweeney (Iñupiaq) during President Donald Trump's first administration. The initiative created a task force that brought law enforcement, data collection and justice teams together, an effort that led to a Missing and Murdered Unit within the BIA. “All of our law enforcement are working collectively on an issue not being in silos.” This renewed federal push comes through an executive order from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Kirkland says it expands efforts to solve new and cold cases and emphasizes prevention. “It's great that we're focused on these cases that haven't been solved. You know, what would be even better is that we didn't even have to solve these cases in the first place.” A crisis U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) says needs to be addressed with urgency. “I would suggest to you that that is a crisis.” Some of the Native leaders and MMIP advocates at the meeting, like Charlene Apok (Iñupiaq) with Data for Indigenous Justice, say hope now hinges on whether funding follows — and if tribes are empowered to lead the work. “We're hoping that we see the return on investments and that it trickles down to real changes. But I also know that no matter what, tribes in Alaska are going to keep working on this. And that gives me a lot of hope.” The gathering and the Interior Secretary's Executive order was timed to coincide with a national day of awareness for MMIP.
