Podcasts about Midnight

Most people fear voices in their heads. He built his whole life on them. When a friend invited him on a quick car ride, the voices didn't gently nudge him. They screamed at him not to go. Hours later, that friend was dead. To the outside world he was just intuitive, gifted, “lucky.” A brilliant human resources manager who could read people like open books. But behind every perfect decision, every narrow escape, there was a real haunting—a “team” of entities guiding his career, his marriage, even the moment they told him it was finally time to leave. They weren't just ghosts. They were organized. Intelligent. A choir. In the dark, they finally told him the truth: he'd been “chosen,” part of a chain of witnesses stretching farther than memory.  When he tried to ignore them for just one day, everything fell apart. So what are they—spirit guides, ghosts, or something far stranger? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #SpiritGuides #ParanormalActivity #GhostVoices #PsychicExperiences #SupernaturalStory #CreepyEncounters #HauntedLife #UnexplainedPhenomena #OccultMysteries #RealParanormal Love real ghost stories?

We start off the show this week talking about WoW Classic, namely that Burning Crusade Anniversary realms were announced and are coming in January, perhaps concurrentish with the release of Midnight. It's fine, it's not like we have lives outside of this one video game or anything. Then, we pivot to the changes to transmog coming in Midnight, and it seems like every time we look at those changes they get worse and worse, much like the gear we had to wear right at the beginning of The Burning Crusade.While we're excited to see Vendetta, the new Overwatch 2 hero coming soon, it's kinda weird she calls herself a term used in both Italian and Spanish slang to mean "lady of the night." She does have a big sword, and she seems neat.Also, we're coming to the end of the year, so it's game awards season. Lots of awards have been announcing their nominees, and the lists aren't without controversy.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Some haunted house stories start after someone dies. Hers started when she was four. Her bed shook at night. The garage door slammed on its own. And from her room above the garage, she heard things moving when no one was awake. Then came the voice. At eleven, the line between dream and reality shattered. A deep male voice called her name. Strange, intimate “dreams” began, with an unseen presence touching her, answering her questions, and refusing to show its face. Years later, after a long silence during pregnancy and motherhood, it returned — in her boyfriend's bed, then in her childhood room, pressing her down, climbing onto the mattress, stroking her hair and whispering, “It is me.” Is this an incubus, a sleep paralysis demon, or something far more personal?  This isn't just a haunted house story. It's the story of a presence that bonded with her… and refuses to let go. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #Incubus #SleepParalysisDemon #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #GhostStories #CreepyEncounters #DemonicEntity #OuijaBoard #SupernaturalStory #RealParanormal Love real ghost stories?

The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel dives deep into the "witches' brew" hiding in the American diet, lifting the "Norman Rockwell filter" on beloved foods. We expose the chemical cocktails in favorites like bacon and turkey, including known carcinogens like nitrosamines, hormone disruptors, antibiotics leading to "slow immune sabotage," and the sodium bomb. Lionel also tackles pervasive health myths: is the Mediterranean diet really the cure-all, or was it post-war starvation rations?. Discover why smoothies might sabotage your health, what the food industry hides under the phrase "natural flavor," and why quick-fix fads like methylene blue distract us from the poisons we ingest daily.

This episode of "The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel" is an informative exploration of sexual predation, the challenges faced by victims, and the societal response to high-profile cases like Epstein. Lionel uses the Epstein story as a "tutorial" to dissect the deep-seated skepticism toward victims, particularly the notion of "asking for it" or failing to satisfy "societal muster". The conversation, featuring callers like Lynn and Dee, addresses the debilitating shock and fear experienced by victims, the devastating long-term effects of trauma, including low self-esteem and self-hatred, and the fear of confronting powerful perpetrators. The discussion also tackles the complex legal landscape, covering issues such as the difficulty victims face when seeking justice through litigation—often being accused of being "after the almighty buck" despite seeking validation—and constitutional concepts like due process, even for figures like Harvey Weinstein. Lionel stresses the critical need for parents to "inoculate" their children immediately against online and real-world predators, teaching them to speak up despite threats and manipulation. Ultimately, the show aims to shed light on how predators operate (often lacking a "judgment center" and favoring intimidation over seduction), and asks why society fails to prioritize the victim in these complicated matters.

This episode of The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel promises "the other side of truth and the other side of reality," moving past the "surface level stuff" and "drive by nothing" found in mainstream media. Lionel dives deep into the complex Epstein files, arguing the case was primarily about extortion and blackmail, not merely sex tortion [i]. He presents forensic evidence—including a fractured hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage—indicating Epstein was killed/murdered, not a suicide. The show uses this case as a "tutorial" to dissect crucial issues surrounding sexual predation, victim skepticism, and the difficult pursuit of justice, covering constitutional concepts like due process and challenging why society fails to prioritize the victim [i]. Plus, Lionel lifts the "Norman Rockwell filter" on the American diet, exposing the "witches' brew" of chemical cocktails, known carcinogens like nitrosamines, and hormone disruptors hiding in favorites like bacon and turkey. Discover why quick-fix health fads are distractions, why smoothies might sabotage your health, and why diet connects to modern disease and socioeconomic factors.

Here is an audio preview of one of the new shows coming out on our Strange Midnight AV YouTube channel.

Most hauntings fade with childhood. His didn't. His first encounter with the paranormal happened at fifteen — a night when a spindly shadow-hand reached toward his face, choking the breath from his lungs while a voice whispered a name he'd never forget: “The Twins.” What began as sleep paralysis turned into a real haunting, complete with dark figures slipping through walls, chest-crushing attacks, and shadows that moved with purpose. For years he outran it — leaving Spain, starting over in London, trying to rebuild a normal life. But the darkness wasn't finished. It returned with visions, paralysis, and the same inhuman presence watching him through mirrors like a scientist observing an experiment. Not a ghost. Not a demon. Something older. This wasn't a haunting tied to a house. This was a haunting tied to him. A presence studying him… waiting for something he still doesn't understand. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ShadowPeople #SleepParalysisDemon #ParanormalActivity #GhostStories #CreepyEncounters #HauntedLife #SupernaturalStory #ShadowFigure #RealParanormal #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?

It starts with the Highborne and the schism between Night Elves and High Elves, which eventually led to the Blood Elves and the creation of the Sunwell.But ancient history isn't all. Joe and Matt also discuss some of the notable figures in Blood Elf society that are important to know. Lady Liadrin and Lor'themar were in the Midnight cinematic, and the Windrunner sisters are a trio to rival the Schuylers -- with their own "and Peggy" in Vereesa -- but there are tons of characters who have had their fingers on the scale of Blood Elf nobility to discuss. From Azshara all the way to Xavius, and with the entire Scourge in the mix, the history of Blood Elves is twisty and fascinating -- and a little hard to remember. So let Joe and Matt guide you through what you need to know before Midnight.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.

Tune into The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel and Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors as they step behind the headlines and into the truths most people would rather ignore. This is a mission for protection, shining a light on predators and ensuring every child has the right to live safe and unafraid. This week, we dismantle the bureaucracy of education, analyzing President Trump's executive order to return power (and funding) to the states—a move designed to curb the waste, slush, and activist-driven curricula that have led to failing national report cards. We also confront the digital battlefield: exposing how unregulated AI and electronic devices—the most dangerous device a child owns—are targeting our youth. Hear the alarming truth about chatbots, which Lynn Shaw calls "child abuse machines," that are coaching children toward self-harm and isolation. Discover the bipartisan support for educational excellence, the critical difference between equity and equality, and the hopeful signs that parents and kids are embracing basics, books, and nature.

Some hauntings never stay inside the walls they began in. This story follows a girl raised in the shadows of New Orleans — a place where the ground itself breathes history and the dead are never truly gone. Her childhood home wasn't just unstable because of the violent man who lived there; it was alive with something older, something watching. It started with whispered voices calling her name, objects moving when no one was near, and the unmistakable feeling of being studied. But the night she saw a shimmering man in the hallway — a figure that sprinted through the air and vanished straight into a closet door — she realized this wasn't imagination. This was a real haunting. This isn't just a ghost story. It's the story of a haunting that attached to a person — and never let go. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #Paranormal #GhostStories #NewOrleansHaunted #ShadowFigure #CreepyStory #SpiritEncounter #HauntedLife #DemonicPresence #RealParanormal Love real ghost stories?

Greg and Nathan are back with another episode in their walk through the book of Ruth, and this week they're stepping into one of the most intimate and suspense-filled moments in the entire story — Ruth Chapter 3. In “The Midnight Proposal,” the guys unpack Naomi's bold plan, Ruth's risky midnight mission to the threshing floor, and Boaz's surprising response that reveals both character and covenant faithfulness. With warmth, clarity, and plenty of cultural insight, Greg and Nathan explore what's really happening when Ruth “uncovers Boaz's feet,” why her request to “spread your wings over your servant” is far more than poetic language, and how Boaz's integrity shapes every choice he makes — even when romance is on the table. Together they trace the themes of risk, redemption, waiting, and God's quiet providence, answering questions like: What motivates Naomi to take action now? Was Ruth's midnight visit inappropriate, or a culturally rich symbol of trust and commitment? Why does Boaz call Ruth a “worthy woman,” and how does that connect her to his own character? What does the nearer redeemer mean for the story — and for Boaz's integrity? How does Chapter 3 show us what courageous faith looks like in uncertain situations? As always, Greg and Nathan bring thoughtful reflection, accessible explanation, and pastoral warmth as they explore how God's redemptive story moves through bold faith and steadfast integrity. If you've ever wondered what's really going on in this midnight encounter — and what it shows us about God's heart — you won't want to miss this episode.

Some people grow up haunted by memories. Others grow up haunted, period. For one military family, every move should have been a fresh start—Pennsylvania, Colorado, and beyond. But for their son, the darkness always unpacked right beside him. Footsteps charging down hallways, warm breath on his face when no one was there, and laughter that bled through walls long after midnight. Each house offered a brief peace before the pattern began again: the lights clicking on and off by unseen hands, shadows moving with purpose, and a pale face grinning from the porch outside his window. And then came the dream. A man in a yellow mask, laughing over a newspaper like he'd been waiting for years. When the family finally settled for good, the activity only grew bolder—footsteps on the stairs, whispers brushing against his ear, and a doppelgänger giggling in the basement where he never slept. Whatever this was, it didn't haunt the house. It haunted him. Decades later, he's stopped running. The laughter still comes, soft and knowing, just behind his ear. Because some hauntings don't live in walls—they live in people. #RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStory #HauntedLife #ParanormalEncounter #DemonicHaunting #CreepyStory #GhostFollowedMe #SupernaturalActivity #HauntedHouse #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStoryTime #CreepyTales Love real ghost stories?

When you're visiting a foreign country, you miss a lot. From conversations around you on the street to advertisements on billboards or your favorite podcast that is suddenly playing you ads in the local language. You also miss a lot of cultural context, and while that can sometimes be problematic, it can also lead to overlooking prejudices that might be common with locals. Can missing the nuance be a good thing? We all know the downsides of being on the outside when in a foreign country, but are there also positives?

It began with an apartment overlooking a cemetery in Iowa City—a small place, young couple, cheap rent. What followed was years of escalating terror that refused to stay contained within four walls. Curtains that opened on their own. A porcelain doll staring toward the graves. Voices caught on answering machines. A priest who admitted the darkness was beyond his training. But moving didn't stop it. It only gave it new walls to inhabit. From the coastal apartment where a child laughed at something called “the witch”—to a new house where even the dog obeyed a voice that wasn't human—the haunting grew bolder, more intelligent, more personal. This is the story of a presence that didn't just haunt a home—it haunted a family. Because sometimes, the dead don't follow the house.
