In August of 1966, two men were found dead on a hillside in Niterói, Brazil. They wore matching suits, raincoats… and homemade lead masks that covered their eyes. Next to them: two towels, an empty bottle, and a single cryptic note— “16:30 be at the specified location. 18:30 ingest capsules. After effect, protect metals. Await signal. Mask.” No sign of struggle. No cause of death. No explanation.What were they waiting for? A message from beyond? A UFO? God? Or just the lethal consequences of their own experiment? This week, Brohio dives deep into The Lead Masks Case—a story of science, spirituality, and the terrifying edge between faith and madness.

In Green Pond, nights fall so still you can hear a dog bark from three streets over… and sometimes things you wish you couldn't. This true paranormal story follows one man's decades-long battle with an unseen presence that seemed to know his name. After losing his first wife, he often visited her grave under a lone streetlight, whispering prayers into the dark. But grief wasn't all that followed him home. One night, he woke to a powerful yank on his arm as if someone tried to drag him off the bed — even though he was alone. When he remarried and moved into a quiet subdivision, the disturbances escalated. Footsteps measured the hallway at dawn. Doors slammed as though in warning. A woman's cheerful “Hi” drifted from an empty kitchen. Worst of all, the entity learned to borrow their faces: it spoke to his wife in his voice while he was miles away at work, and more than once she saw herself walk past the bedroom door while still sitting on the bed. The most terrifying moment came late at night when the doppelgänger stood at the foot of their bed. His wife said a single, commanding phrase — “Not here.” The creature's head seemed to scramble like a broken video signal before it recoiled and vanished. This gripping account blends faith, fear, and resilience in the face of real haunting phenomena that prove sometimes the thing in your house isn't tied to the walls — it's tied to you.  #TrueGhostStory #GreenPondHaunting #RealHaunting #ParanormalActivity #ShapeShiftingEntity #CreepyTrueStory #UnseenVoices #SupernaturalEncounters #HauntedSmallTown #FaithVsFear #UnexplainedPhenomena #DoppelgängerHaunting Love real ghost stories?

Nurses Out Loud with Jodi O'Malley MSN, RN – Hospitals across the country demand staff “take the shot or wear the mask,” but what appears as safety is really compliance theater. Kristen Meghan exposes how these mandates ignore OSHA standards, suppress autonomy, and prioritize optics over evidence. True protection starts with informed consent, engineering controls, and courage to challenge misguided healthcare policies...

Hey, so, I wanted to pull an episode from the archive this week because it's relevant to the big movie hitting theaters this weekend: Black Phone 2 follows up the surprise 2022 hit, The Black Phone, resurrecting The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) and his iconic mask. Back before that movie came out, I talked to Jason Baker of Callosum FX Studios about helping design the mask for that movie (as well as for WWE stars and the band, Slipknot) and his work with the legendary Tom Savini. We also discussed Jason's documentary about Savini, Smoke and Mirrors, which you can rent for just 99 cents from Apple (or buy for just $1.99) or stream for free on Tubi. And if you enjoyed this re-run, please share it with a friend!

In this raw and challenging episode, David Mehler speaks directly to the men who have built walls instead of bridges—men whose success hides a deeper struggle with feeling unseen and unmet.With unfiltered intensity and brotherly compassion, David confronts the facades of strength and leadership, revealing how we sacrifice authenticity for approval.This episode is a call to stop hiding, start telling the truth, and invite healing by embracing your deepest wounds. If you've ever felt the weight of staying strong for everyone but yourself, this conversation will hit home.Key Takeaways:- ~[01:05] The masculine drive for performance and “getting things done” is often a mask hiding a need for validation.- ~[04:15] Shame and fear of disappointment push men to wear emotional armor, blocking intimacy and real connection.- ~[08:00] Suffering in silence is not heroic—“being the strong one” creates loneliness that erodes your sense of self-worth.- ~[11:45] Vulnerability is not weakness; it's the entry point to true leadership and authentic impact.- ~[15:20] Healing begins when you confront the pain you've buried—freedom comes from telling the truth about who you are, not who you perform to be.- ~[19:10] The challenge: Will you drop the mask, step into uncertainty, and let yourself be seen for the man you truly are?

Join us as we take a trip down the staircase to brush fingers with an enigmatic Lady in Silver, catch the eye of an enamoured Man in Mask and clutch our pearls at the sight of a scandalously bedazzled ankle.After spending the day redecorating with Colin, we'll be grabbing our binoculars and maps to join a search party with a rather reluctant sibling. Thought your days of tracking down mysterious ladies were behind you, El? Think again, dear sister. And once the paint has dried at Featherington House, we'll be masking up and stepping back into the ballroom to celebrate the return of everyone's favourite Cheese Man and his bug-loving wife. Hold onto your banisters, everyone.

They also debate whether the film leans more toward horror or psychological thriller, discuss the twisted serial killer inspirations behind it, and speculate on where The Black Phone 2 might take the story next.Highlights Breakdown: - The Ethan Hawke Deep-Dive: Analysing his career-resurging performance as The Grabber and how he masterfully portrays four distinct, terrifying personalities. - Mask & Lore Analysis: The significance of the four iconic masks, designed by horror legend Tom Savini, and the film's clever nods to real-life serial killers. - Genre Debate: Is The Black Phone a straight horror film, or is it more of a psychological thriller in the vein of The Silence of the Lambs? - Sequel & Preamble Speculation: Our first impressions of The Black Phone 2, why we're hesitant, and why a prequel focusing on The Grabber's origin story would have been a killer idea. - Behind The Scenes: The film's incredible box office success story, emerging right after pandemic lockdowns to earn over $160 million.If you love Blumhouse films, chilling performances, and rewatching horror with fresh eyes, this episode is for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, a county in California wine country is beefing up its vaccine recommendations and instituting a mask mandate, citing a "greater risk" of contracting COVID-19 amid the start of the annual flu season.

He breaks down practical effects, dream research, faith, simulation theory, and what it really means to create from both sides of the veil.He also discusses his early years breaking into the industry, performing stunts, and writing screenplays in 1980s Hollywood.

Episode 96: Eddington This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang rides into the dust and disinformation of Ari Aster's 2025 neo-Western Eddington. Set during the upheaval of 2020, the film pits Joaquin Phoenix's stoic, conspiracy-prone sheriff Joe Cross against Pedro Pascal's pragmatic mayor Ted Garcia in a small New Mexico town splintered by mask mandates, social media warfare, and secrets. Craig sounds the warning in Producer's Notes (9:59), rallying the posse to get ready; Alain draws the map of conflict in the Beauclair Synopsis (20:57), threading the political grievance, personal betrayal, and escalating paranoia. Chris then steps into Philosopher's Corner (41:16), tuning into the film's narrative pulse. At The Round Table (54:36), the gang debates whether Eddington mirrors our fractured moment or indulges in fever dreams, before Reviews (1:28:46) and Mailbag (1:37:54) bring listener dispatches from the divide. As always, we tackle the philosophical and non-philosophical standoffs within, as every showdown leaves a mark.

We talk a lot on this podcast about grit, about living on the edge of your comfort zone, about pushing yourself through the uncomfortable to grow. Today, we're going deeper. We're talking about what happens when the hustle and performance become masks, when we hide behind being “fine” instead of being seen for who we really are. This episode is about vulnerability, authenticity, and the courage to take that mask off. Growth doesn't happen when we're pretending to have it all together. It happens when we finally admit we don't and ask for help.Five Key Insights:Hiding Behind the Mask Keeps You StuckWe learn early to hide—covering our flaws, failures, and fears with a mask of “I'm fine.” But that mask becomes a trap. It isolates us, keeps us from real connection, and prevents true healing. Freedom begins when we take it off and allow ourselves to be seen. Vulnerability Is Strength, Not WeaknessAsking for help, admitting you're struggling, or saying “I don't have it all together” takes more courage than faking your way through. The real strength lies in owning your story, showing up authentically, and letting others in.Brotherhood Breaks IsolationWhen men have a safe place to be honest—like the Built for More community—everything changes. Growth happens when we can talk openly, call each other out in love, and walk through struggles together. Brotherhood builds freedom and accountability.The Hustle Can Become a Hiding PlaceSometimes busyness becomes another mask. We use the hustle to avoid our emotions, silence the pain, or postpone hard conversations. But staying busy isn't the same as being healthy. Healing starts when we stop hiding behind productivity and start facing what's really going on.Growth Lives on the Other Side of HonestyWhether it's journaling, reflection, or conversations with trusted people, being honest—with yourself and others—creates clarity. When you stop negotiating your non-negotiables and face the truth, your priorities realign, your mindset shifts, and transformation begins.One Truth:You can't grow while you're hiding. Real transformation begins the moment you take off the mask and let yourself be seen.

Welcome to Episode 244! In years past, the cooler temps and changing leaves were indicators that the year was winding down. This year, we also have THE PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES: From Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce as a gauge. After this episode, we have only three more stories left to read – can you believe it? (We can guess the mixed responses to this question! haha.) We both enjoyed “The Moonlit Road” by Ambrose Bierce, which we discuss in this episode. Other books we've read and talk about include A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES by T. Kingfisher, 107 DAYS by Kamala Harris, SUNNY SIDE UP by Katie Sturino, MARGARET FULLER: Collected Writings edited by Brigitte Bailey, Leslie Eckel, and Megan Marshall, and DEATH AT THE WHITE HART by Chris Chibnall. In Biblio Adventures, Emily recaps some of the bookish highlights from her vacation on Cape Cod, including BOOKSTORES (Provincetown Bookshop, Tim's Used Books, and Titcomb's Bookshop), LIBRARIES (Provincetown Public Library, the Sturgis Library, Eldridge Public Library and the South Chatham Library), and a bunch of LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES, including a charming mosaic #LFL. Chris spent a day working in the Barnard College Archives and then met a friend for a delicious dinner at Osteria Accademia, a book-lined restaurant on the Upper West Side. Afterwards, she headed to Grand Central to catch a train home to Connecticut and experienced the building's power outage, which made her worry about Dementors and rats. Last but not least, we are thrilled to welcome back OUR MYSTERY MAN, John Valeri for his 14th guest appearance. John joined us to discuss two ghost stories that are on our Ghost Stories Bingo card: “The Mask of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Canterville Ghost” by Oscar Wilde. He also drops a few reading recommendations because it wouldn't be a proper visit from Our Mystery Man without them. Happy Listening and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode244

The hotly-anticipated return to THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS by K.W. Jeter begins with the first four chapters of HARD MERCHANDISE. I was hotly anticipating it, anyway.

It’s a true crime headline that seems nearly impossible to believe, and yet, 31-year-old Brittany Fortinberry has been charged with 47 charges including 14 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor. A 15-year-old boy came forward this past spring, and now 6 months later at least 10 underage boys have told similar accounts of being drugged, forced into sexual acts and threatened with violence. To make matters worse, Fortinberry’s husband apparently knew what was going on has been charged with intimidation and failure to report a crime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if I told you that one of the sneakiest ways scarcity shows up in business isn't about money at all…it's about people-pleasing? In today's episode of Your Limitless Life, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I've caught myself making decisions from a place of fear — saying yes when I wanted to say no, over-delivering to prove my worth, and prioritizing what other people wanted over what actually felt aligned for me. If you've ever felt guilty for setting boundaries or found yourself hustling to keep everyone happy, this episode is going to set you free.   Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_explore

Most people have that one memory that makes them cringe - the party where they said the wrong thing, the meeting where they stumbled over their words, or when a simple "no thanks" to a drink turned into the most awkward moment of the night.   You spend so much energy trying to avoid these uncomfortable situations, building elaborate strategies to never feel that squirmy sensation again. But what if this avoidance actually makes social situations harder, especially when you're trying to change your drinking habits?   Tune in this week to learn how awkwardness impacts your ability to say no to a drink, why the Connector and Mask archetypes struggle most with this, and a simple reframe that transforms awkwardness from proof that something's wrong with you into a normal part of being human.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/440
