He had always considered himself more of a skeptic than a believer.Then he and his wife moved into a modest Cape Cod-style home and began noticing small things they couldn't quite explain. Shadows at the edge of their vision. Objects turning up in strange places. Motion lights activating when no one was near them.At first, he treated it all like a puzzle. His wife was less amused.The activity became harder to dismiss when the lights began turning on in sequence, almost as if someone were walking through the house. Then a casual conversation with a neighbor gave the mystery a name—and suddenly, the strange path through the home seemed to make a lot more sense.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #MotionLights #GhostChild #UnexplainedMystery #HauntedHomeLove real ghost stories?

Disclaimer: Gina tried to do something new with her audio set up and failed miserably. Please forgive her underwater sound this week. On February 10, 2009, five-year-old HaLeigh Ann-Marie Cummings vanished from her home in Satsuma, Florida — a small rural community along the St. Johns River in Putnam County. Her disappearance became one of the most heartbreaking and confounding missing child cases in Florida true crime history. In this episode of Weird True Crime, hosts Amber and Gina introduce us to HaLeigh: a curly-haired kindergartner at Browning Pearce Elementary School who loved nail polish, mac and cheese, and taking care of her baby brother. Her family called her "little mama." She was 39 pounds, five years old, and by every account, completely adored.We walk through the family background — the custody battle between her father Ronald Cummings and her mother Crystal Sheffield, the move to rural Satsuma, and the arrival of 17-year-old Misty Croslin, who had been living in the home and watching the children while Ronald worked second shift. On the night of February 9th into the early morning hours of February 10th, Ronald was at work. Misty was the only adult present. When Ronald came home at 3:25am, HaLeigh was gone. Within minutes, a 911 call went out — and within hours, investigators were already questioning whether the scene they found told the true story of what happened that night.This episode covers the initial search, the AMBER Alert, the FBI response, and the deeply troubling physical evidence: no forced entry, an undisturbed pile of laundry in front of the back door, HaLeigh's Hannah Montana shirt found in a place it shouldn't have been, and a crime scene that investigators would later describe as possibly staged. Misty Croslin's first account of the night begins to unravel almost immediately. If you're researching the HaLeigh Cummings case, Florida missing children cases, or true crime cold cases involving child disappearances, this is the episode to start with.
Disclaimer: Gina tried to do something new with her audio set up and failed miserably. Please forgive her underwater sound this week. Part two of our deep dive into the HaLeigh Cummings case picks up where the investigation gets darker — and more complicated. Within days of HaLeigh's disappearance, Misty Croslin's story had already changed multiple times. She gave different versions to law enforcement and the media, failed every polygraph she took (despite publicly claiming otherwise), and investigators received tips suggesting she may not have even been in the home when HaLeigh went missing. By August 2009 — on what would have been HaLeigh's sixth birthday — authorities made it official: they did not believe a stranger had taken her. The physical evidence contradicted Misty's account, and she, they said, held the answers.In a bizarre turn, Ronald Cummings and Misty married in March 2009 — while searches for HaLeigh were still actively underway. By October, they had divorced. Both returned to drug use, which opened the door for investigators to run a sting operation. Over two months, an undercover detective purchased thousands of dollars in oxycodone and hydrocodone from Misty, Ronald, and three others. Misty was present at every single transaction. When all five were arrested in January 2010, investigators hoped the weight of the drug trafficking charges — minimums of 25 years — would finally shake loose the truth about HaLeigh.What followed was one of the most gut-wrenching moments in this case: a detailed, disturbing confession from Misty's brother Tommy about what happened to HaLeigh — followed by a three-day river search, a recovered concrete block, and then a full retraction. Tommy admitted he had made the entire story up. Misty was sentenced to 25 years. Ronald took a plea deal for 15. And HaLeigh has never been found. A retired state investigator went on record with his theory: the child accidentally ingested drugs and someone panicked and disposed of her body. We close this episode by bringing it back to HaLeigh herself — who she was, what she looked like, and how you can still help.

What if the way you feel about your body has nothing to do with your body - and everything to do with what you learned before you were old enough to question it?Most of us can't pinpoint one moment we started hating our bodies, but understanding where it came from is one of the most powerful things you can do - for yourself, and for the little ones watching you.In this episode, I'll share:Why body image issues start earlier than you think (we're talking as young as age 3) and how they get passed down through families without anyone meaning any harmHow a mother's own body comments - not even directed at her kids - directly shape her child's relationship with their body and foodA confronting exercise to help you see your self-talk for what it really is, and why it's never okayWhy healing yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do for the next generation - whether you have kids or notHow to gentle parent yourself: the one practical shift you can make this week to start speaking to yourself differentlyWant to dive deeper into this?

When he was five or six years old, a simple trip to the bathroom turned into an experience he has never forgotten.While visiting a neighboring business in a small town in Mexico, he suddenly found himself standing in a room filled with an impossibly bright white light. Standing within it was a young girl dressed in old-fashioned clothing, silently motioning for him to come closer.He could see her clearly. No one else could.What happened next terrified both him and his mother, and years later, questions about the property's history only made the encounter more difficult to explain.More than two decades later, he can still describe her perfectly. And he still wonders what she was trying to tell him. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ChildhoodParanormal #Apparition #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHistory #ParanormalEncounter #GhostChild #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

Little Girl Lost by Brittany Mishler Brittanymishwrites.com https://www.amazon.com/Little-Girl-Lost-Brittany-Mishler/dp/1804394688 In this thought-provoking lyrical tragedy, Brittany Mishler carves out an unfortunate childhood of a little girl that has had to experience her growing years held in the clutches of pain, abuse, and loss. Growing up, sadly, has been no different. It is a reality not uncommon and often spoken of yet is just as heart-wrenching for every individual. From a little girl shrunken by the beatings from an excuse of a father to a grown woman fighting off the demons and stuck in a cycle of abuse, she wonders how the man who now claims to have found God tended to forget He exists when her life has become a big question of why she was never good enough to make him change his ways.
Dwyane sits down with his mom and she’s not holding back. She opens up about writing her book, Conquering Me, and why she had to revisit the painful parts of her past to truly understand herself. Dwyane connects it to something he knows well, watching the bad tape. As a player, the real lessons never came from the highlights. They came from the losses.

Hello to you listening in Rabat, Capital of Morocco! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. As the story goes I refused to transition from toddler diapers to toddler big girl pull ups the traditional way. No matter what they promised I was not going to sit on the Little Human pot. I wanted to sit on the Big Human's porcelain throne. Maybe my mother saw genius in my independence or maybe she was just harried with more babies coming along behind me every 18 months or so. She gave in. I did potty training my way. But doing it “my way” didn't happen nearly as often as the story seems to foretell. That little girl's voice got shut down and ignored in the din of other voices, voices of authority, duty, church, obligation, and responsibility. And yet, her voice wasn't gone; it was just gone missing. In time she went looking for it. Named it and claimed it as her own voice. Now she helps professional women change their narrative so they are seen, heard, understood, and listened to. Story Prompt: Somewhere in the long ago you realized that there is no other voice like yours. When did you choose to use it? How did you decide to do it your way, with your voice. Write that story and share it out loud!

Ghosts of all kinds – wandering spirits, water ghosts looking for substitutes, mountain demons, and many more; welcome to the strange supernatural world of Taiwan. Eryk and John, fortified with protective amulets and holy mantras, bravely step into the murky shadowlands of Taiwanese ghost lore and modern supernatural encounters. For this episode, they draw heavily on anthropologist Lin Mei-rong's collection of more than 150 ghost stories from across Taiwan. You've probably heard of water ghosts. But have you heard of the mysterious “Little Girl in Red” who lures hikers deep into the mountains? Or paper funeral dolls that come alive? How about “Yin” temples dedicated not to gods, but to wandering spirits? Lock your doors and windows, light some incense, and prepare to be spooked (and amused).
If you've noticed the men in your life repeating talking points from Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, you're likely seeing the real-world impact of the ‘manosphere’. Research suggests these digital echo chambers are doing genuine damage to the lives of boys and men, but how do we combat an algorithm? Today, we are joined by Australia’s first-ever Special Envoy for Men’s Health, Dan Repacholi. The Labor MP and five-time Olympian is heading off on a national listening tour to tackle the crisis in men’s mental health, respect, and the rising tide of online misogyny. We investigate what it actually takes for men to stay well and why the solution has to start with men talking to men.

A mum messaged Opinions Matter after her autistic daughter was left heartbroken when she couldn't attend a joint birthday party in a trampoline centre that wasn't “sensory friendly” — even though the venue runs sensory sessions. Should the parents have planned the party around one child's needs… or is it unfair to expect everyone else to change their child's big day? Adrian and Jeremy row over whether the invite was “inclusion” or “a dud invite”, with callers split right down the middle — including autism parents and an autistic caller who says exclusion like this still happens. Plus, a kids' play centre owner rings in with a surprising offer to make it up to the little girl.

# How I Made It Through Podcast## Episode: Finding Strength Through Sensitivity — A Conversation with Karen Hall**Host:** Bernadette Thompson**Guest:** Karen Hall — Publicist, Publisher, Producer at Momentum Media; Editor-in-Chief of *Global Women's Journal* and *Spanish Journal* (partnered with the *Los Angeles Tribune*); Emotional Intelligence Leadership Coach; Host of *The Hero Within* podcast---## Episode SummaryIn this deeply moving conversation, Bernadette sits down with Karen Hall to explore how early trauma, lifelong sensitivity, and a passion for storytelling shaped a career dedicated to elevating the voices of others. Born two and a half months premature, Karen spent her earliest days in an incubator — an experience that left her with preverbal trauma and an unusually sensitive nervous system. Rather than letting those challenges define her, Karen turned them into fuel for a life of writing, coaching, publishing, and connecting people to their own stories.From selling newspapers as a nine-year-old to coaching Fortune-level CEOs, from writing her first book at eleven to producing global broadcasts with hundreds of speakers, Karen's journey is a testament to what becomes possible when we learn to regulate our nervous systems, reframe our limiting beliefs, and meet ourselves with compassion.---## What You'll Hear in This Episode- How being born prematurely shaped Karen's lifelong journey with anxiety, sensitivity, and the drive to understand the nervous system- Why Karen started writing at age nine — and how journalism became her first path to healing through storytelling- The surprising way her podcast, *The Hero Within*, reached the top 3% globally within three months with no advertising- How Karen went from terrified-to-speak to a TED-style stage in New York with no notes — and what that moment taught her about authentic connection- The accidental birth of her coaching business when sales colleagues started asking, "How are you not afraid to cold call?"- Why every limiting belief, no matter how it shows up, traces back to a wound from the past- How emotional intelligence and co-regulation changed the way she coaches CEOs (one client called her a "CEO whisperer")- The launch of *Global Women's Journal* and the Spanish-language *Latin Journal* — and why creating platforms for underrepresented voices matters- The spiritual dimension of the work: Marianne Williamson's influence, ancestral connection, and seeing ourselves as beings of love- Why Karen reframed "it took me too long to learn this" into "now I have the empathy to help others"---## Key Takeaways**On trauma and the nervous system:** Karen shares how understanding preverbal trauma — trauma that happens before we have words — helped her make sense of why her brain defaulted so easily to fear. Learning to regulate her nervous system became a lifelong practice, and eventually the foundation of her coaching work.**On sensitivity as a strength:** Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and an empath is genetic and real — and it's a gift, not a flaw. The work is learning to channel that sensitivity outward in service of others rather than letting it pull us inward.**On the universal struggle:** Whether someone is a CEO, a first-time author, or a parent, the same question surfaces when we hit a wall: *What's wrong with me?* Karen teaches that nothing is wrong — the amygdala has simply hijacked the prefrontal cortex, and the way back is through self-compassion.**On storytelling:** Everyone has a story, and someone out there needs to hear yours. Platforms, podcasts, and publications matter because they break isolation and remind people they are not alone.**On the spiritual dimension:** When we see ourselves — and others — as beings of love with unmet needs, compassion and forgiveness become natural. Unloving behavior is simply a forgetting.---## Memorable Moments- Karen's mother role-playing newspaper sales pitches with her at age nine — a practice Karen still uses today with her husband and kids before big talks- The New York stage moment where Karen threw away her notes and spoke from the heart for the first time- Being nicknamed "the queen of empathy" by her coaching clients- The realization that her nervous system work gives her something polished coaches without lived experience can't offer: authentic empathy for how long healing actually takes- Bernadette and Karen's shared reflection on ancestors visiting them during their most transformative seasons---## About the GuestKaren Hall is an emotional intelligence leadership coach, publisher, and broadcast producer who has built her life's work around elevating women's voices and helping leaders regulate their nervous systems so they can lead with connection instead of control. She is the host of *The Hero Within* podcast, Editor-in-Chief of *Global Women's Journal* and the Spanish-language *Latin Journal* (in partnership with the *Los Angeles Tribune*), and a mentor to speakers, authors, and CEOs. She has also served for a decade in volunteer ministry work with Native American communities on the Fort Apache and Navajo reservations in Arizona.---## Connect with Karen Hall- **LinkedIn:** Search for "Karen Hall — Queen of Empathy" (a title given to her by her clients)- Karen welcomes connection and would love to hear your story---## Connect with the HostBernadette Thompson is the host of the *How I Made It Through* podcast, an author, and a guide who helps people explore their ancestry and intergenerational stories as part of their healing journey. After losing her husband to alcoholism eight years ago, Bernadette reinvented herself and now helps others navigate grief, transformation, and the spiritual dimensions of coming home to who they truly are. www.tellmeourstory.com---## A Closing Thought*"When you hear stories like Bernadette's guests, you gain hope — because you know: I can make it through too.

Send us Fan MailVideo version HEREA forgotten 1889 haunting… a violent poltergeist… and a voice that claimed to be the Devil.In this episode of Into the Fog, I uncover one of the most disturbing and little-known paranormal cases in Canadian history: The Dagg Farm Haunting.After finding a long-lost book and cross-checking it with historical records, I've pieced together a chilling story of a rural family in Clarendon, Quebec, whose quiet farmhouse became the centre of terrifying supernatural activity.We're not just talking about moving objects or strange noises.This case includes: • Spontaneous fires • Windows shattering with no cause • Objects flying violently through the air • Human waste mysteriously appearing across the house • A young girl physically attacked… her hair torn from her scalp • And most disturbing of all… a disembodied voice speaking obscene and threatening wordsMultiple witnesses, including a visiting investigator, heard the voice for themselves. It claimed to be the Devil… and said it had been sent to torment the family.But was this a genuine supernatural haunting… a hoax… or an invasion of some kind of demonic force. I don't say this often, but I'm tempted to say this one is demonic. After listening all the way through, you'll understand why. And after tracking down the original location and speaking with current property owners, I ask the question: Did whatever haunted the Dagg family truly leave… or has it lingered?Voice WorkJames Andrews - Percy WoodcockShelley Hodgkinson - Mrs DaggGrace Mirza - Susan DaggElyse Rowe (@littlefluffballsandbigcraf7630) - Mary DaggKaye Salter - Dinah McLeanDemon - Peter LawsFor more on Peter Laws check out:www.patreon.com/peterlawsor www.peterlaws.co.uk

"In addition to the easy convenience of bathing two children together, or three children together, there are other motivations of bathing them together. Parents are less aware that there is an excitement in seeing the children naked - although convenience is what's stated first, I think other things do go into it. Through development reactions to the genital difference and nudity will change, and I believe that being aware of those changes is very useful for parents to make decisions about what they want to do in their family, about family nudity, toileting, bathing, running around naked." Episode Description: Ilene demonstrates the many influences on mothers' engagements with their daughters which include their own remembered and forgotten pasts, cultural influences and their unique imaginations. She mentions the startling messaging in the famous movie "Gigi", "Thank heaven for little girls...so helpless and appealing, without them what would little boys do." We discuss the power of girls wishing to be like their mothers and how that at times conflicts with their wishes to also individuate from their mothers. The book demonstrates differences among new parents around the blue/pink choices for boys and girls, and she also discusses the many feelings parents have associated with family nudity. A special distinction is made between a three-year-old asking 'Do I look pretty?' vs 'Am I pretty' - each having very different meanings to the child and to her parents. We touch upon 'whining', self-stimulation, and what being a 'girly-girl' means to parents. We close with Ilene sharing with us how real her granddaughters found this work to be. Our Guest: Ilene Lefcourt established the Sackler Lefcourt Center for Child Development in 1982. She was the Director, led the Mother-Baby-Toddler Groups, and provided Developmental Consultation to parents for over 35 years. She taught Child Psychiatry Residents and Parent-Infant Psychotherapy Trainees about her work. She has been a faculty member at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research since 1995. Ms. Lefcourt is currently in private practice in New York City. She is the author of Parenting and Childhood Memories: A Psychoanalytic Approach to Reverberating Ghosts and Magic, Mother-Baby-Toddler Group Guide: A Psychodynamic Approach, When Mothers Talk: Magical Moments and Everyday Challenges, and Mothers and Daughters: The First Three Years.

For a percentage of you, this might turn out to be your favourite TYP episode. It won't be for everyone, but for some it will be like finding an oasis in the dessert. 'The Weird Little Girl Who Talked to Ghosts' is the name of Chezzi Denyer's new book, it's fantastic, people are raving about it and it's selling like bog rolls in a pandemic. I won't say too much but there's definitely something special about Chezzi's energy, insight and story and I f***ing loved our conversation - which is why it went for almost ninety minutes (and could have gone way longer). *Note: Unfortunately we didn't have a great internet connection, so l apologise for that but please tough it out. I doubt you'll regret it. Enjoy. chezzidenyer.com.auBooktopiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After his divorce, he moved in with his brother while trying to rebuild his life. He was working night shifts at the time — sleeping during the day, awake at odd hours, constantly exhausted. At first, he blamed that for what he was seeing.A little blonde girl standing in the closet doorway. A child running past the kitchen. Shadows stretching across the wall behind him when no one was there. He told himself it was stress. Lack of sleep. His mind playing tricks on him.Until his son pointed down the hallway and said the girl was playing peekaboo from the bedroom door.The final night, he woke up to find her standing beside his bed — pale, silent, and staring. The eyes weren't glowing.They were empty. What makes it harder to explain is that his brother and his girlfriend saw her too.
