Some children talk to imaginary friends. She talked to a man who didn't exist for anyone else. At five years old, she pointed to empty space in a crowded living room and calmly explained she could see through him. No one laughed. No one played along. The room went silent — and something changed. Years later, after a sudden death in the family, the presence returned with force. Closet doors slammed. Air rushed through sealed rooms. Lights began turning on by themselves — not randomly, but before something went wrong. Again. And again. They named him Frikkie, not to invite him closer, but because ignoring him didn't work anymore. Guests felt him sit on beds. Blankets shifted in the night. The house seemed to wake up, alert, as if bracing for impact. This isn't a haunted house story about jump scares or monsters. It's about patterns. About warnings that arrive quietly. About a presence that doesn't harm — but announces. #TrueStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #Unexplained #CreepyTrueStory #RealParanormal #GhostStory #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

Tonight's guest is Fred, calling in from Sweden. He's the researcher and writer behind the book Northern Lights: High Strangeness in Sweden. Fred walks us through a series of his experiences scattered across Sweden and Norway, a violent interaction with an invisible force on a bridge in Stockholm, a shadow figure leaning out from behind a tree no person could hide behind, a perfect circle of ground light in Märsta, and the haunting footsteps that circled a cabin in a Norwegian valley that scared Fred before dawn. He also shares stories of the odd little man who appeared during his youth, in the forest, along the roadside, and even in a shop, always looking at him, never speaking.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-366-high-strangeness-in-sweden/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

How does Jesus reach for us when we're convinced we can never return back to Him?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Tyler Christen—a returned soldier and lifelong Latter-Day Saint who spent years in and out of the Church—shares his raw, unfiltered journey through addiction, isolation, spiritual darkness, and repeated attempts to walk away from the Gospel.From battling the temptations of pornography and party culture in the military, surviving serious car accidents, grieving a miscarriage, and experiencing terrifying demonic encounters and sleep paralysis, Tyler describes what it felt like to believe he was beyond forgiveness... Until the night he finally gave in and cried out the name of Jesus Christ.From then on, doors began to open as Tyler found himself guided through dreams, spiritual impressions, and moments of unmistakable divine intervention that led him back to the scriptures, the temple, and a renewed sense of purpose in the Gospel. In this episode, Tyler talks about learning to recognize the Savior's voice and his realization of being a dream interpreter—all while discovering that the gifts of the Spirit are real.If you've ever questioned whether Jesus can still use you, Tyler's story is a bold reminder that Christ's grace can reach into the darkest places and turn a "lost cause" into a disciple on fire.*** Please SHARE Tyler's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/P9csAvu5PFw -----To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

As the glow of Christmas fades and the decorations come down, Scripture invites us to consider a deeper question: what if Christmas was never meant to end? In Matthew 2:1–12, the Magi model a faith that refuses to dim after the celebration. They searched diligently, followed the light they were given, worshiped wholeheartedly, and left changed by an encounter with Christ. Their journey reminds us that the incarnation is not a moment to rush past, but a mystery to live within. It is better to live in contemplation of the depth of Christ coming near than to live only in anticipation of a climactic celebration. Christmas isn’t just a day, or even a season—it’s a way of life shaped by worship, obedience, and persistent devotion. In this sermon, we’ll explore how to keep the lights on all year long, carrying the spirit of Christmas into our daily walk with Jesus.

children were playing and joyously shouting.Sr: Чинило се да је Новогодишња магија испуњавала ваздух.En: It seemed that New Year's magic filled the air.Sr: Анци, Бојану и Милошу, трима вредним ученицима, претио је рок за зимски пројекат.En: Anci, Bojanu, and Milosu, three hard-working students, faced a deadline for their winter project.Sr: Њихова школа је организовала фестивал, и на њему је њихов задатак био да представе најбољи пројекат са зимском тематиком.En: Their school had organized a festival, and their task was to present the best winter-themed project.Sr: Анца је била амбициозна и маштовита.En: Anca was ambitious and imaginative.Sr: Желела је да њихов пројекат буде најбољи, али била је забринута јер се Бојан и Милош нису усредсређивали на рад.En: She wanted their project to be the best, but she was worried because Bojan and Milos were not focused on work.Sr: Бојан је био друштвен и шармантан, али често је остављао све за последњи тренутак.En: Bojan was sociable and charming, but often left everything to the last minute.Sr: Милош, тих и аналитичан, водио је рачуна о свим детаљима, али је страховао да ће изневерити своје пријатеље.En: Milos, quiet and analytical, took care of all the details, but feared he would let his friends down.Sr: Док је Анца гледала како се деца смеју и бацају грудве, одлучила је да преузме ствари у своје руке.En: While Anca watched the children laughing and throwing snowballs, she decided to take matters into her own hands.Sr: Позвала је Бојана и Милоша на хитан састанак у парку.En: She called Bojan and Milos to an urgent meeting in the park.Sr: Хтела је да размотре све идеје и коначно одлуче шта ће радити.En: She wanted to discuss all the ideas and finally decide what they would do.Sr: „Морам да вас питам“, рекла је Анца чврстим гласом, „да ли схватате озбиљност ситуације?En: "I need to ask you," said Anca firmly, "do you realize the seriousness of the situation?Sr: Имамо само неколико дана до фестивала.En: We have only a few days until the festival.Sr: Морамо заједно радити.En: We need to work together."Sr: “Бојан се засмејао и рекао: „Ајде, па свет неће стати ако мало каснимо!En: Bojan laughed and said, "Come on, the world won't stop if we're a little late!Sr: Али хајде да размислимо шта можемо да урадимо.En: But let's think about what we can do."Sr: “Милош је климнуо главом, желео је да помогне и ослободи се притиска.En: Milos nodded, wanting to help and relieve the pressure.Sr: Седећи на клупама прекривеним снегом, почели су да размишљају.En: Sitting on benches covered in snow, they began to brainstorm.Sr: Али убрзо је почела да се развија спонтана грудва.En: But soon, a spontaneous snowball fight began.Sr: Сви су почели да се смеју и трче по снегу, заборављајући бар на тренутак на свој пројекат.En: Everyone started laughing and running through the snow, forgetting their project, at least for the moment.Sr: Изненада су добили инспирацију.En: Suddenly, they got inspired.Sr: Док су се гађали грудвама, Бојан је узвикнуо: „Шта ако направимо представу!En: As they were throwing snowballs, Bojan exclaimed, "What if we create a play!Sr: Представу о зимским чудима, али праву и живу.En: A play about winter wonders, but real and live."Sr: “Сви су стали.En: They all stopped.Sr: Идеја им се допала.En: They liked the idea.Sr: Видели су да та разонода може постати нешто посебно.En: They saw that this pastime could become something special.Sr: Одлучили су да направе представу пуну прича о зимским магионичарима и чудима.En: They decided to create a show full of stories about winter wizards and wonders.Sr: Анца је осмислила сценарио, Бојан је радио на забавању публике, а Милош је бринуо о техничким детаљима.En: Anca developed the script, Bojan worked on entertaining the audience, and Milos took care of the technical details.Sr: Када је дошао дан фестивала, њихова представа је била хит.En: When the day of the festival arrived, their play was a hit.Sr: Анца је осетила понос док су учитељи и ученици аплаудирали.En: Anca felt proud as the teachers and students applauded.Sr: Сви троје су се загрлили, срећни што су успели.En: The three of them hugged, happy with their success.Sr: Анца је научила да је тимски рад кључан, а инспирација може доћи сасвим изненада.En: Anca learned that teamwork is crucial, and inspiration can come quite unexpectedly.Sr: Бојан, Милош и она су се зближили и разумели своје снаге и слабости.En: Bojan, Milos, and she grew closer and understood each other's strengths and weaknesses.Sr: Зимска магија их је поново подстакла да верују једни у друге.En: Winter magic once again prompted them to believe in one another.Sr: Калемегдан је наставио да блиста под снегом, али сада је био место нове приче о пријатељству и успеху.En: Калемегдан continued to shine under the snow, but now it was the place of a new story about friendship and success.

From the time he was a child, he knew something wasn't right in his room. The darkness felt heavier there. Shapes lingered at the window. Whispers never quite formed into words, but they were enough to make him cry, enough to make him beg to sleep somewhere else. As he got older, the activity didn't stop — it changed. A candle flickered and burned without ever being lit. Scratching echoed from inside the walls. Voices began calling his name from empty rooms, sometimes sounding exactly like the people he trusted most. Late at night, lights snapped on, doors rattled, and something moved through the apartment when no one should have been awake. What made it worse was the silence around it. When he asked questions, he was told to stop talking. When he was afraid, he was dismissed. And when someone else finally saw something watching him sleep, the truth didn't bring relief — it brought more questions. Years later, a single conversation revealed that this hadn't started with him at all. That whatever followed him had been known… and deliberately ignored.  #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #HauntedApartment #ShadowFigure #VoicesInTheDark #RealHaunting #ParanormalPodcast #UnexplainedActivity #SupernaturalEncounters #TrueParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

When Anthony Christopher and his wife bought Pine Lawn Manor in Sumner, Illinois, they didn't just acquire an old building—it seems they acquired a building full of restless spirits. Once rated the worst nursing home in the state, this former hotel and care facility harbored untold stories of abuse, neglect, and despair. Now, it's become one of the most active paranormal hotspots in the Midwest. Many investigators have reported chilling encounters with shadow figures, disembodied voices, and a ghostly nurse named Ed who may still roam the halls. Objects seem to materialize out of nowhere. Lights flash without electricity.  Some buildings don't forget. Some spirits never leave. And some places like Pine Lawn Manor were never meant to be silent. Today, on The Grave Talks, we go behind the manor's aging walls with owner Anthony Christopher. For more information, search Haunted Pine Lawn Manor and Rehab Center on Facebook.

Kato - Turn The Lights Down - Joe Nardi Epic Banger by NAW-T-BOY

The wrapping paper is in the bin, the "new" has worn off the gifts, and the holiday hype is behind us. But what if the story isn't over?

I used to hate mornings. I was a morning DJ starting at 18. Up at 4 am every day. Hated it so much I quit. Then I met Joy. She gets up at 5:30 am every single morning like it's programmed in her DNA. Lights on, radio on, house awake. Didn't matter if I was sleeping. Her mindless persistence drove me bonkers. But I couldn't change her. So I had to find my own way. Turns out there's one question that makes mornings work: What's the most important thing I can do today that will make everything else possible? Some mornings it's the gym. Some mornings it's writing. Some mornings it's getting out of my wife's way. Featured Story Eighteen years ago I met Joy. It didn't take long to notice something. She got up at 5:30am every single morning. When she got out of bed, the house was going to be awake. Lights on. Radio on. Everything happening. I'm still sleeping? Didn't matter. I wasn't fond of it. Not at all. As a wildly creative, spontaneous, go-for-it kind of guy, Joy's mindless persistence drives me bonkers. She just does what works for her. Forever. Never thinks about it again. I had no choice but to find my way. And after working with tens of thousands of successful people, I can't deny that simple consistency and a simple morning routine is where success is born. So I figured out my own version. Important Points The early bird does get the worm, but instead of following someone else's morning routine rules, ask yourself one question that cuts through all the noise. What's the most important thing you can do first thing in the morning that will make everything else possible? The answer hits you like a brick to the forehead. When you take care of what's most important to you first thing, there isn't much else left to worry about for the rest of your day. Memorable Quotes "What's the most important thing I can do today that will make everything else possible?" "Unlike most folks in the world who are caught up in the drama of life, she operates on figure out what works, keep doing it forever, never think about it again mindset." "Here's my number one value. I boiled down all my values and everything in a very simple thing. I tried to do the right thing. And if I mess up, I'll say I'm sorry. And I'll try again until I get it right." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop trying to follow everyone else's morning routine rules and instead ask yourself what's the most important thing you need to do first that changes everything else. Accept that the answer might be different tomorrow, and that's okay, because flexibility beats rigid routines when you're a creative, spontaneous person. Make the decision the night before when you can, but don't beat yourself up if you figure it out when your feet hit the floor in the morning. Chapter Notes 1:13 - Why Scott hated mornings as a DJ 1:35 - Meeting Joy and her 5:30am DNA programming 3:42 - The mindless persistence that drove him crazy 5:09 - The one question that changes everything 6:05 - Anti-routine revealed: it depends on the day 7:45 - What if you did the most important thing first?

The Haunting Power of Imagination: A Journey into the Mind of a WriterThis story explores the themes of creativity, the struggle of an author to write horror stories, the conception of evil, and the psychological implications of bringing a monster to life through thought. It delves into the author's mental state as he grapples with his fears and the consequences of his imagination.In the dim glow of a solitary lamp, a writer sits, wrestling with the shadows of his own creation. The room is filled with an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of paper and the soft murmur of a voice, speaking to no one but himself. This is the world of "Lights Out," a series that delves into the unusual and the unsettling, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.The protagonist, a writer himself, finds his mind a battleground of ideas and fears. "I just don't know what to write about," he confesses, caught between the horrors of the world outside and the demons within. His struggle is not just with words, but with the very essence of creation. As he conjures monsters and tales of terror, he questions the morality of his craft—men are dying in foxholes, and here he is, weaving stories of ghosts and groans.Yet, it is this very act of creation that becomes his salvation and his curse. The writer's mind, a fertile ground for the seeds of imagination, gives life to a creature born of his darkest thoughts. "A tremendous force of fiendishness and inhumanity," he muses, as the lines between his fiction and reality begin to dissolve. The monster, a manifestation of his fears and guilt, becomes all too real, a testament to the power of thought and the dangers of dwelling too long in the shadows.As the story unfolds, we are reminded of the delicate balance between creativity and madness. The writer's journey is a cautionary tale, a reminder that our thoughts have the power to shape our reality, for better or worse. In the end, it is not the monsters we create that haunt us, but the realization that they are born from within.Subscribe now to explore more tales that challenge the boundaries of imagination and reality.TakeawaysThe stories told are not for the faint-hearted.Creativity can be a struggle, especially in horror.The author feels a deep connection to the characters he creates.Evil can manifest from one's own thoughts and fears.The act of writing can lead to psychological turmoil.The concept of a monster can symbolize inner demons.Mental health plays a crucial role in creative processes.The line between reality and imagination can blur in storytelling.The importance of belief in one's own narrative.Plot development often reflects personal experiences and fears.unusual stories, creativity, evil, monster, mental state, plot development, horror, radio drama, storytelling, psychological themes

On today's Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie our topic is: Keep the Lights Up!

After her grandfather passed away, she kept one object that mattered deeply to her. Not long after, subtle things began happening in the places she lived. Faint music drifting through an empty apartment. A voice answering her from downstairs when she knew she was home alone. Shadows in the hallway that vanished when she tried to focus on them. None of it felt violent. None of it demanded immediate fear. But the quiet never felt empty again. As the years went on and the houses changed, the experiences followed in different forms. Lights turning on by themselves. The feeling of being watched. A presence that never announced itself, but never fully left either. And just when she began to question whether it was all coincidence… someone else saw something she couldn't explain. Even years later, after the activity faded into the background of adulthood, the past resurfaced in an unexpected way—through a message from someone living in one of her former homes, asking a question she hadn't thought about in years.

I walk my dogs three times a day. Same times. Every single day. It started once. Now it's a tradition. My dogs look at me like it's the law. Traditions aren't just for holidays. They're the secret sauce that makes life special all year long. But somebody has to make them. My neighbor Janice spends weeks decorating her house for Christmas. She's not just doing it for herself. She's making Christmas for everyone in the neighborhood. Think about it. How many people are making traditions for you right now? And how many are you making for others? Featured Story My wife and I were walking the dogs when we stopped at Janice's house. She was finishing up her Christmas decorations. Everything perfectly placed. Lights everywhere. The kind of display that makes you wonder where she stores it all. I told her it looked like a lot of work. She said yeah, it takes a couple weeks. But it's her tradition. She loves doing it. Then I said something that caught her off guard: "Thank you for making Christmas for the rest of us." She didn't know what to say. She was out there doing what she loves, creating this tradition for her family. She wasn't thinking about the neighborhood waiting for her lights to go up. But that's exactly what we do. Important Points Traditions are the secret sauce that makes life easier and creates emotional connections, not just during holidays but throughout the entire year. Somebody has to make the tradition, and the makers are the ones who create special moments for everyone around them without even realizing it. Traditions are just like habits and rituals, they make our lives more fulfilling, but you have to decide to be the person who creates them. Memorable Quotes "Traditions are a secret sauce. And it's not just the holidays, you had traditions in almost everything." "Thank you for making Christmas for the rest of us." "Whether it's Christmas or New Year's or any other time of the year, traditions are the same as habits and rituals. They make our lives more fulfilling, but always remember somebody has to make that tradition." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice who's making traditions for you right now and actually thank them for it, because most people don't realize they're creating something special for everyone around them. Decide to be a maker yourself and create traditions throughout the year, not just holidays, because that's where the real spice of life lives. Understand that one time becomes all the time, so start something worth repeating and let it become the fabric of your life.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has brought joy and sparkle to Midtown Manhattan since the early 1930s. The annual festivities may seem steady and timeless but this holiday icon actually has a surprisingly dramatic history. Millions tune in each year to watch the tree lighting in a music-filled ceremony on NBC, and tens of thousands more will crowd around the tree's massive branches during the holiday season, adjusting their phones for that perfect holiday selfie. But the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is more than just decor. The tree has reflected the mood of the United States itself — through good times and bad. The first tree at this site in 1931 became a symbol of hope during the Great Depression. With the dedication of the first official Christmas tree two years later, the lighting ceremony was considered a stroke of marketing genius for the grand new “city within a city” funded by JD Rockefeller Jr. The tree has also been an enduring television star — from the early years in the 1950s with Howdy Doody to its upgrade to prime time in the 1990s. Join Greg Young for this festive holiday history featuring kaleidoscopic lighting displays, painted branches, whirling snowflakes, reindeer and a very tiny owl. ** This episode originally aired in December 2021.

Step into the shadows of Lilian Place, the oldest—and most haunted—house in Daytona Beach. Built in 1884, this Victorian landmark is more than just a museum—it's a dwelling for the dead. Behind its creaking doors and flickering lights are whispers of tragedy, mystery, and spirits that refuse to move on. Locals speak of Lucy, a woman in white who drifts silently through the halls. Children's laughter echoes when no children are present. Doors open on their own. Lights turn on without reason. And in one bedroom, visitors have reported seeing a man resembling writer Stephen Crane, who once recovered there after a near-fatal shipwreck—perhaps he left more behind than just a story. Is Lilian Place a historic treasure, or a gathering place for the dead? Join us as we uncover the eerie past—and restless present—of Daytona's most infamous haunted home. Today on the Grave Talks, The Ghosts of Lilian Place, a conversation with John Dillard, president of the Heritage Preservation Trust. This is Part Two of our conversation. #LilianPlace #HauntedFlorida #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #VictorianHaunting #HistoricHauntings #GhostsOfFlorida #HauntedMuseum #UnexplainedPhenomena #RealGhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?
