When you grow up in a family that plays with Ouija boards and forgets to say goodbye… you don't always get to choose what steps through that open door. Years later, in a “perfectly normal” newer house in Independence, Missouri, Otis thinks the worst thing he has to deal with is his little sister talking about shadow people in the hallway. The lights are on, life is busy, and the strange stories are easy to shrug off—until the night everything goes dark. What do you do when something dead looks right at you and speaks? Was it a demon using the closest “face” it could find? A spirit called in years earlier by a game that was never properly closed? Or something much worse that decided Otis was finally old enough to notice it? #ghoststory #OuijaBoard #paranormal #hauntedhouse #realghoststories #shadowpeople #truehaunting #creepyencounter #possessedobject #demonicvoice #RealGhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?

The massacre at a Hanukkah gathering at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach killed 15 people this weekend. Two gunmen opened fire on celebrations for the first night of the Jewish Festival of Lights. Australian officials quickly labeled the assault an antisemitic act of terrorism. As Geoff Bennett reports, shock and grief were matched by anger and urgent questions.

:Have you ever wondered how it feels to say goodbye to a beloved Austin institution that's been serving up classic Tex-Mex for four decades? In this heartfelt episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew kicks things off with sad news: the iconic South Congress location of El Mercado is closing its doors for good this Wednesday, December 17th – but don't worry, the Burnet Road spot lives on, and you can still grab their famous salsa at HEB! The team dives into Austin's ever-changing landscape, debating Torchy's vs. Taco Deli (you're one or the other, right?), sharing hilarious foil-eating mishaps, and reminiscing about classics like Matt's El Rancho and the "all-American taco." They also reflect on saying farewell to longtime spots like Catfish Parlor and ponder what's next for that prime SoCo real estate (condos, anyone?).Things heat up with the Story We Love: Austin City Council just greenlit Southwest Airlines' huge expansion at ABIA, bringing 2,000 new jobs with an jaw-dropping average salary of $180,000! Could this mean more direct flights, cheaper fares, and Austin-based pilots and crews? The gang breaks it all down.Then, hop in the Wayback Machine as Sandy finally dives into the legendary Mad Men – four episodes in and already hooked on Don Draper's mysterious past (is he a deserter?!), the nonstop smoking and cocktails, pointy bras, and that shocking picnic litter scene. JB raves about rewatching it endlessly, while they marvel at the 1960s office antics and unforgettable characters like Christina Hendricks.Memorable moments include: "You're going to eat a little bit of foil" from Taco Deli tacos, tales of accidentally devouring In-N-Out wrapper paper, and laughs over vintage lingerie that looked like "the Egyptian pyramids." Cold weather debates, hot chocolate rants, and Pioneer Woman's shoutout to Austin's Trail of Lights round out this fun, nostalgic ride through Austin life and pop culture.Don't miss this mix of local heartbreak, big news, and binge-worthy TV talk – tune in now before El Mercado's final day slips away! Hit play, subscribe for more daily Austin vibes, leave us a review, and share with your fellow Texans who bleed breakfast tacos and Mad Men drama.

Remembering The Miracles Of Hanukkah  Part 2: The Festival Of Lights And The Miracle Of The Oil - English only.  Why is Hanukkah called the Festival of Lights? There is an ancient legend that the Maccabees only had enough oil to light the Temple menorah for one night, yet the lamps burned for 8 nights.  Do we have evidence that this legend is true?  If not, why do still call this the Festival of Lights? Join us as we search through Jewish sources for the history of this celebration!  This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded on December 20, 2022.  This year, 2025, the eight day celebration of the Festival of Hanukkah began at sunset on Sunday, December 14, 2025.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the lights! My guest today is new author Makennah Johnston, who has just published a wonderful children's story called "The McBrights":  "Every Christmas Eve, the McBrights dazzle from the branches of the Evergreen Tree in Henbrook's town square, warming hearts with their old-fashioned glow. This year, however, something isn't quite right. The McBrights are left in their storage box for longer than usual, and when they are finally unpacked, they find themselves for sale at an antique store! They may be vintage, but their bulbs aren't burnt out yet. Bernie McBright is determined to get his family shining where they belong. Could the store's newest visitor be the spark the McBrights need to light up Christmas once more?" I also recommend another children's Christmas book called The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink. It's a charming and colorful story of how Santa's elves plant and grow one of my favorite Christmas treats - Candy canes! After that I wrap up with a few thoughts on the lights of Christmas, and what they mean to me.  Learn more about Makennah here: https://www.blueballoonbooks.com/authors/makennah-johnston  Recommended Books: The McBrights by Makennah Johnston The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink   Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #christmas #podcast #authorinterview #christmaspodcast

Christmas is filled with familiar traditions—songs, decorations, and images of angels—but what if we've missed the heart of their message? In this message, Minister Alex Ehly explores the four angel encounters of Christmas and reveals how their repeated words, “do not be afraid,” still speak directly to our fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion today.Walking through the stories of Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds, this message reminds us that angels were never meant to be admired—their role was to deliver good news to tired believers, ordinary people, disrupted plans, and the forgotten. When fear rises and control feels out of reach, Christmas doesn't call us to perform better or fix ourselves. It invites us to rest, because God is already at work. This message offers hope for anyone wrestling with anxiety, doubt, disappointment, or the feeling that their faith has grown weary.

The Miracle of the Hidden Lights. Zos Chanukah - Fabreingen, (5779)

Chanuka Explained: The Hidden 36 Lights Revealed.

How can the ancient Hebrew language unlock a deeper way of listening to Christ with our whole heart, soul, and might?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott Brandley and guest co-host Emily Hemmert sit down with Dr. Trina Boice—university professor, longtime author, avid scripture educator, and Hebrew enthusiast—to explore the “Via Dolorosa,” more commonly known as the sorrowful path Christ walked from condemnation to crucifixion. Dr. Trina shares what it's like to trace the traditional stations through Jerusalem, why this journey can reframe the Atonement as more than a single moment, and how sacred spaces (even outside our own faith tradition) can invite powerful spiritual reflection. Together, these experiences point to a discipleship that is not only believed, but lived through both body and spirit.And, as we look ahead to the 2026 "Come, Follow Me" study of the Old Testament, Trina introduces a foundational Hebrew word, “Shema,” and how its layers of meaning (to hear, to hearken, to obey) can transform the way we approach scripture study and prayer. Along the way, she shares moving experiences from the Western Wall, insights into Jewish worship and devotion, and a renewed invitation to find Jesus Christ woven throughout the Old Testament.Ultimately, this conversation invites us to move beyond simply reading the scriptures to truly living them. Through language, history, and lived experience, Dr. Trina reminds us that discipleship is not passive, but a wholehearted response to the Savior's voice in every season of our lives.*** Please SHARE Dr. Trina's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/ZsmC_RzdGeg-----To LEARN MORE about Dr. Trina, visit: https://www.TrinaBoice.comTo LEARN MORE about Dr. Trina's author coaching services, visit: https://www.frombook2business.com/To READ Dr. Trina's book, "The Language of Heaven," visit: https://a.co/d/4j5b4kXTo READ Dr. Trina's book, "Via Dolorosa," visit: https://www.cedarfort.com/products/via-dolorosa-christs-path-to-the-cross?srsltid=AfmBOoriQlGGDu7ngEuLrfu0GN38cg1FUe-z7ovPv7bYXO6i-NCc9pD6To LISTEN to Dr. Trina's podcast, "Daily Inspirational Quote," visit: https://open.spotify.com/show/17RPUlzByZQVu4zmqktoZ0?si=86c6033495a048f1To WATCH Dr. Trina's movie reviews, visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/MovieReviewMom 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.

We are approaching the shortest day of the year- it's next Sunday when the Winter Solstice will happen at three minutes past three on December 21st. So that, plus the fact that today is the start of the Festival of Hannukah- the Jewish festival of Lights, got us thinking about the part light plays in all our lives, and especially for those of faith. Audrey is joined by Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick, Dr Tina Beattie and Dr Leon Litvak. We also talk to Father Carlos Ferrero from the Holy Family Church in Gaza City about how they are planning to celebrate Christmas this year and also whether things have improved since the Ceasefire. And finally we talk to Paul Davies, a renowned physicist and professor at Arizona State University. His new book Quantum 2.0 finishes with the words 'to be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of the physical universe and our place within it.'

A Journey Through the Clouds: Reflections on Humanity's PathIn a world where the skyline meets the clouds, two souls find themselves pondering the mysteries of existence. As they ascend to the 86th floor, the view of New York City sprawls beneath them, a testament to human achievement and the complexities of life. But what happens when the streets below are empty, and the world seems to have paused?The View from Above: Michael and Eve's journey to the observation deck is more than just a physical ascent; it's a metaphorical rise above the chaos of everyday life. From this vantage point, the city is a tapestry of stories, each building a chapter in the book of humanity. Yet, as they gaze upon the vastness, a sense of solitude creeps in, prompting questions about the nature of existence and the fate of mankind.A World Paused: The narrative takes a turn as the couple realizes the streets are eerily silent. The absence of people and the stillness of the cityscape evoke a sense of unease. Is this a temporary pause, or has something more profound occurred? The silence becomes a canvas for introspection, as they contemplate the possibility of being the last remnants of humanity.Reflections on Creation and Destruction: Eve's musings on the creation of life and the potential for its end are both haunting and thought-provoking. Her reflections challenge the reader to consider the delicate balance between creation and destruction, and the role of a higher power in the grand scheme of things. Could it be that the world has been reset, leaving only a few to start anew? As the sun sets and darkness envelops the city, Michael and Eve are left with more questions than answers. Their journey is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment. In a world where the future is uncertain, their story serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action for humanity to strive for a better tomorrow.Subscribe Now: Join us on this journey of discovery and reflection.

Imagine snapping awake in a silent college apartment, the air thick and unmoving… only to watch a shape gather itself out of the darkness—mist folding into shoulders, height, weight, intention. Every night, the figure stepped out of the open closet and claimed the doorway, towering, motionless, watching. Not attacking. Not speaking. Just choosing you. Lights did nothing. Sleep did nothing. Logic failed. And the apartment—boring, beige, aggressively average—suddenly felt like something had been waiting there long before the lease was signed. What do you do when the symptoms feel physical, the dread feels personal, and every instinct tells you you're being observed? You explain it away. Stress. Fatigue. Maybe even madness… until the day someone else admits they saw him too. This wasn't sleep paralysis. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't imagined. It was a presence—and it wanted one person in particular.

For her, the paranormal wasn't a surprise; it was an inheritance. She was born into a bloodline where intuition ran deeper than memory, where sensing the unseen wasn't unusual—it was expected. But nothing could have prepared her for how intimately the spirits would weave themselves into her life. From the moment a six-year-old girl saw a shadowy figure wearing her brother's Halloween mask, the line between the physical world and the one just beyond it began to blur. No matter where the family moved—new house, old house, even a pristine suburban home—the activity followed. Footsteps in empty rooms. Lights flicking with intention. Whispers threading themselves through the dark. And later, the unmistakable weight of phantom animals curling at her feet as if she were their chosen guardian. But not all presences came softly. Some watched her more closely. Some learned her rhythms. Some seemed to be waiting. Now, standing between curiosity and caution, she realizes something profound: the spirits aren't just haunting her life— they're trying to welcome her into theirs. #ParanormalLife #GrowingUpHaunted #GenerationalSensitivity #SpiritEncounters #HauntedHomes #ShadowFigures #Medium #GhostStories #RealParanormal #Ghosts Love real ghost stories?

But nothing could have prepared her for how intimately the spirits would weave themselves into her life. From the moment a six-year-old girl saw a shadowy figure wearing her brother's Halloween mask, the line between the physical world and the one just beyond it began to blur. No matter where the family moved—new house, old house, even a pristine suburban home—the activity followed. Footsteps in empty rooms. Lights flicking with intention. Whispers threading themselves through the dark. And later, the unmistakable weight of phantom animals curling at her feet as if she were their chosen guardian. But not all presences came softly. Some watched her more closely. Some learned her rhythms. Some seemed to be waiting. Now, standing between curiosity and caution, she realizes something profound: the spirits aren't just haunting her life— they're trying to welcome her into theirs. #ParanormalLife #GrowingUpHaunted #GenerationalSensitivity #SpiritEncounters #HauntedHomes #ShadowFigures #Medium #GhostStories #RealParanormal #Ghosts Love real ghost stories?
