Podcasts about Midnight

For most kids, bedtime means night-lights and favorite blankets. For her, it meant wondering what was already standing in the dark. At just five years old in a San Fernando Valley rental, she sat up in bed and saw a glowing boy framed in her doorway — silent, shimmering like moonlight trapped inside a child's shape. Too terrified to scream, she hid beneath the covers until dawn. But the haunting didn't stay behind when the family moved. In Canoga Park, she woke in her mother's bed to a tall, dark Hat Man looming near the closet. In Palmdale, footsteps echoed through empty halls, chandeliers swayed with no breeze, a TV turned on by itself. Some nights she felt a small, icy hand press against her cheek… and then came the voice — a woman clearly calling her name. Her brother heard the phantom bangs on windows. Her mother heard the sound of a little boy crying behind her. And in the hallway one afternoon, she came face-to-face with a girl in a decades-old white dress who smiled shyly before vanishing. Across years and cities, the presence always found her: the glowing boy, the woman's voice, the unseen hand. This isn't just a haunted house story — it's a chilling true ghost story about what happens when the haunting attaches itself to a person, not a place.  #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedChildhood #GhostEncounters #HatMan #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #ChildhoodHaunting #GhostStories #SpiritWorld #UnexplainedPhenomena #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

If you've ever spent any significant amount of time in Italy or around native Italians, you will soon have discovered: Italians are loud. A recent trip to the peaceful Austrian Alps, in which she was confronted with lots and lots of Italians on vacation in a place outisde of Italy, brought home this reality to Tiffany more than ever before. Turns out, when Italians are in a non-Italian context, they seem even louder. Is there a genetic reason Italians talk more loudly, or is it simply because they are used to living in a loud place and necessarily modulate their voices to match? Or is there a deeper reason? Also, as an expat whose dream was once to live with and among Italians, how long does it take before your chosen people start to get on your nerves? ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our third annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure is all sold out for 2025!

The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel celebrates the lost art of the communal movie theater experience. After attending a packed 50th-anniversary screening of the classic, eccentric documentary Grey Gardens, Lionel explores why sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers to watch a "cultural relic" transcends today's era of "binge streaming" and "digital dopamine drips". The conversation pivots to pivotal films that fundamentally changed listeners—not just movies they liked. Dive into discussions about influential cinematic experiences like the groundbreaking production of The Godfather, the genius of Network, the independent charm of Fatso, and the visceral collective reaction to Jaws. It's an entertaining and informative look at film culture, the decline of American "high society", and why the theater remains the "cathedral of American culture". Learn more about your ad choices.

Some hauntings never end. They don't stay in basements or bedrooms—they follow you, waiting years if they must, to strike again. This is the true ghost story of Kevin from South Florida, a man whose life has been stalked by shadows since childhood. It began with tragedy—the death of his sister, the grief of his father's passing—and it deepened when Kevin turned to a Ouija board to seek answers. The board responded, not with comfort, but with something darker. A voice. A presence. A name: Zam. From that moment on, Kevin's life spiraled into real haunting phenomena: objects moving, radios screaming static, nights of crushing weight pinning him to his bed, and even blackouts where his own family swore his eyes didn't look like his own. At his lowest, Kevin turned to cutting, convinced he was losing himself to something he couldn't control. Then came the intervention—prayers, deliverance, a fragile peace that lasted nearly a decade. But demons are patient. Just days ago, after attending a Halloween fetish party in a former theater, Kevin discovered his phone had sent a text to a number no one should ever message: 666. The chilling words: “Be there in 15.” Coincidence? Glitch? Or a sign that the thing Kevin once encountered has been waiting all this time? This isn't just a scary story. It's a warning about grief, curiosity, and the doors we open without realizing what waits on the other side. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #OuijaBoard #DemonEncounter #ParanormalActivity #PossessionStory #HauntedLife #Exorcism #ScaryStory #Supernatural #DarkPresence #666 Love real ghost stories?

ls planned arson. Midnight Ignition and Multiple Points of Fire Suggest Design in the Great New York Fire Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution The fire started between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on September 21, 1776, near Whitehall Slip. One version suggests an accidental fire started by "careless drunkards" in a tavern. However, British observers on warships reported multiple, relatively simultaneous points of ignition (up to 20 points), strongly suggesting rebel saboteurs. Civilian governance had deteriorated; the fire chief feared rebel arson. Firefighting efforts were hindered because the city's bells had been removed for cannons, and equipment was in disarray.

Some ghost stories fade with time. This one only grows sharper. For one man, his earliest memory isn't of toys, school, or laughter—it's of a ghost. At just four years old, he woke in his parents' bedroom to see curtains stir on a still night… and then it appeared. A hooded figure, glowing bluish-green, towering nearly seven feet tall. Featureless. Silent. Watching. He screamed for his mother, but she saw nothing. For him, the memory burned deep, as vivid as trauma. Over the years, he would see ghosts seven times, but none etched into him like this. And years later, his sister admitted she saw the same thing: the tall, glowing hooded figure. Then came the Polaroid. An accident. A photo snapped by mistake—only to reveal the very same hooded apparition, standing beside a ghostly woman who faded from the waist down. The family kept the proof for years… until the day his mother died. Then the photo disappeared. Gone forever. So what was it? A ghost? A guardian? An angel? Or something older, something that only watches? This isn't just a true ghost story—it's a haunting mystery that bridges childhood fear, photographic proof, and decades of unanswered questions. Proof once existed. And then it vanished. But the memories never did. Because once you've been chosen to be watched… maybe you're never truly alone again. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #GhostPhoto #HauntedMemories #ParanormalActivity #SupernaturalStories #CreepyEncounters #UnexplainedMysteries #GhostEncounters #HauntedLife #ScaryStory #Hauntings Love real ghost stories?

When she was only three, she slipped out of a guest bed in her aunt and uncle's home in the dead of night — barefoot, clutching her shoes, and walked up Maple Hill until a passing couple found her standing alone in the freezing dark. Police called her family at 2:45 AM. When asked why she'd left, the tiny child said a woman in a blue dress woke her, took her hand, sang to her, and told her they were going to see “Poppy” in heaven. The family later learned that “Kitty,” a beloved neighbor who died before she was born, had been buried wearing a blue dress and had wanted to meet the baby. A priest called her “blessed,” and afterwards she began experiencing premonitions, visitations, and an uncanny ability to sense the dead. This is not a haunted house clip or a ghost caught on camera — it's an intimate paranormal testimony about protection, calling, and the strange ways the living and the dead connect. Watch this haunting retelling to decide for yourself: did a guardian spirit guide her, or did something else reach out that night? #TrueStory #RealHaunting #GhostStory #GuardianSpirit #HauntedFolklore #MapleHillMystery #BlueDressGhost #Paranormal #FamilyLegend #GhostEncounter #Blessed #CreepyStory Love real ghost stories?

What's more terrifying than a violent haunting? A ghost that tries to comfort you. For one teenage girl, the paranormal wasn't something she sought out—it sought her. From the age of four, she was a beacon for the unexplained: a man in red walking calmly through her home, then returning in white, kneeling at the foot of her bed to pray. Later, a full family from the 1800s silently appeared at the edge of her mattress. But at fifteen, the haunting shifted into something far more disturbing. She began waking at night to feel a weight pressing down on her, a breath against her neck, and a hand gripping hers. Terrifying—but strangely calming. The spirit seemed intent on keeping her safe. It even manipulated her electronics, pausing her music mid-dream—then restarting it when she wished it back on. Radios tuned themselves to her favorite songs, cupboards opened, beds dipped with unseen footsteps. Her mother dismissed it, until she herself heard the static of a radio tuning in the dead of night. That's when she realized her daughter wasn't imagining things. The question that haunts them both now isn't if the ghost is real—it's what does it want? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStory #GhostEncounters #SleepParalysis #SupernaturalStories #HauntedTeen #GhostThatComforts #RealParanormal #UnexplainedMysteries Love real ghost stories?

A whole new Hearthstone expansion was announced.

Some hauntings are tied to houses. Others to land. But the most terrifying kind are tied to people. In 2001, a young mother of three thought she'd found a dream apartment. Close to her kids' school, her college, and daycare for her youngest, it seemed perfect. But soon, the ordinary became horrifying. A cupboard swinging open and shut on its own. Shower curtains ripped down in the night — or propped upright in impossible positions. Waves of primal fear driving her out of her own home. Then came her son Adam. Just three years old, he began speaking of a boy with a “weird name” who wanted to play with his dinosaurs, and a silent mother who stood in the corner of his room, always watching, never smiling. He told his mother their house had once burned, that wolves had terrified them. Where could a toddler learn such things? Friends who visited didn't last long. Cupboards opening by themselves. Lights flickering. An infestation of mice that even the family cat couldn't stop. One guest fled after waking in the night, paralyzed by the feeling of something hovering inches above his body. House after house, the presence never left. The boy and his mother followed Adam, attaching themselves like shadows that couldn't be shaken. This is not just a true ghost story — it's a chilling tale of a real haunting that proves sometimes the dead don't want your house. They want your child. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #ImaginaryFriend #CreepyStory #GhostStoriesOnline #Ghosts #SupernaturalEncounters #UnexplainedMysteries #HauntedApartment #ParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?

Can bitcoin cross $120K in this run? Bitcoin climbed higher on the back of a government shutdown and weaker-than-expected U.S. labor data. The largest crypto by market cap is flirting with the $120,000 level for the first time since mid August. This comes as the CME FedWatch predicts a 98.9% chance that the Fed will cut rates by 25 bps later this month. Will another cut boost BTC to a new high?

It's Thursday, October 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Hindus barged into church assaulted pastor and destroyed Bibles Praise God! A court in India recently acquitted a Christian who faced charges under an “anti-conversion” law. The state of Uttarakhand passed the measure in 2018. Pastor Nandan Singh Bisht was the first Christian charged under the law. He faced years of legal battles. However, a judicial magistrate finally cleared the pastor of all charges on September 17th. The case began in 2021. Pastor Bisht gathered with 25 Christians in his house for prayer. In response, local Hindus barged into the house, destroyed their Bibles, and assaulted the pastor. Despite the ordeal, Pastor Bisht told Morning Star News that God was “always faithful and sustained my family's needs. This is the result of answered prayers.” In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.” Filipino earthquake kills 60 A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines on Tuesday. The powerful quake killed at least 60 people and injured over 150 more. Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon told CNN, “Some churches partially collapsed, and some schools had to be evacuated. This [earthquake] was a sleeper. It crept up on us.” Wycliff Bible Translators released 23 complete Bibles & 95 New Testaments Wycliffe Bible Translators released their latest statistics on Tuesday. Over the past year, translators have released 23 complete Bibles and 95 New Testaments. This work brings the whole Bible to nearly 200 million more people. James Poole, the executive director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, stated, “In recent years, we have seen an extraordinary surge in Bible translation. Progress is happening at a pace and scale not witnessed before, and whole communities are beginning to receive the Scriptures far sooner than we could once have imagined.”  Scottish police arrest pro-life grandmother for second time Police in Scotland recently re-arrested a 75-year-old pro-life grandmother for standing outside an abortion mill Rose Docherty simply held a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” It's the second time authorities arrested her under Scotland's buffer zone law.  The U.S. State Department told The Telegraph, “The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe.” U.S. Gov't shutdown @ midnight Wednesday The U.S. government entered a shutdown at midnight on Wednesday.  Congressional leaders could not reach a deal to pass a spending bill by the deadline. Republicans are calling for spending cuts, while Democrats are pushing for more social programs and foreign aid. Listen to comments from Vice President J.D. Vance.  VANCE: “To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer/AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, ‘We will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for healthcare for illegal aliens.” Previously, the federal government has had 20 funding gaps, resulting in 10 shutdowns since 1976. Contemporary Christian Music ranked 4th and religious stations ranked 2nd Inside Radio released the top 10 radio formats based on current month counts. Religion-formatted stations ranked second, and Contemporary Christian Music ranked fourth. Of the top 10, only Contemporary Christian has welcomed new stations into the format every month over the last year. Religion-formatted stations also saw consistent growth.  Other music formats like Country and Top 40 lost a significant number of stations.   Public & private school students bring their Bible to school today And finally, today is Focus on the Family's annual Bring Your Bible to School Day.  Nearly 1.3 million people and over 10,000 churches participated last year.  Emerson Collins is the Parenting and Youth Program Manager for Focus on the Family. He told The Christian Post, “We're looking at thousands of churches, thousands of schools and 2 million students total participating.” Collins said the celebration is not just about bringing Bibles to school but also talking about Christ. He noted, “That's what we're hoping to create is the curiosity, the connection and the conversation around Christ and the Gospel.” The celebration is inspired this year by James 1:22. The verse says, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Ann brings not just her marketer's eye but also her mom's heart to the Swiftiverse. We'll explore how Taylor's storytelling fuels parasocial relationships, why The Eras Tour transformed casual fans into rabid ones, and what smart marketers can learn from the savviest hitmaker of our time. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Taylor Swift's storytelling makes the personal feel universal—and what marketers can borrow from that. Why parasocial relationships don't have to be clinical, and how Taylor transforms them into community. The genius of anticipation, reveals, and Easter eggs in building long-term fan trust. What the Eras Tour can teach marketers about creating inclusive, unforgettable experiences. How Ann Handley's own fandom grew from casual listener to full-on Swiftie devotion.

Some inherit wealth. Some inherit trauma. She inherited the shadows. From childhood, she felt eyes drilling into the back of her skull, an unseen predator stalking her every move. Her father called it hunting. At six years old, he trained her to move in silence, to read the difference between natural sounds in the woods and something imitating them. But what he was really preparing her for wasn't deer—it was demons. The family home in Buffalo became the crucible. Her best friend was a ghost girl named Mary. But Mary wasn't alone. Toys floated around her bed. Bricks hurled themselves across basements. Something darker stalked the house. Then, without explanation, the home was condemned and wiped from maps—as though the earth itself swallowed it. Her father died in 2003, labeled a suicide. She doesn't believe it. The night before, he spoke in riddles, leaving her a final puzzle. Six years later, she solved it: he didn't take his life. Something else took it. Now in her twenties, she keeps three knives and a katana by her bed. She dreams of endless eyes watching, migraines splitting her skull like messages from the other side. Her family line is cursed with visions—her great-grandmother predicted deaths to the exact day, her cousin dreamed of her but never dared reveal why. This isn't just a haunting. It's an inheritance. And she believes one day she'll finish her father's work—hunting what has hunted her bloodline for generations. #TrueGhostStory #DemonHunter #RealHaunting #ParanormalStory #HauntedHouse #DarkInheritance #SupernaturalEncounters #TheGraveTalks #GhostStoriesOnline #UnexplainedPhenomena #GenerationalCurse #ShadowEntity Love real ghost stories?

This is a chilling account of an attachment haunting — not a ghost bound to place, but something that has latched onto a person. From childhood “sensitive” playmates to a black, basketball-sized orb that leapt at her face at nineteen, to the mornings in Elk Grove when a raw, guttural scream ripped in her ear the instant she reached for her phone — the pattern is relentless. She moves into an apartment, invites a roommate, and the phenomena escalate: growling dogs fixated on one patch of ceiling, closet lights turning on without touch, faucets switching to shower with no hands involved, and fresh, shallow scratches appearing on her skin like signatures left by something unseen. This is a real haunting that infects daily routine and privacy. We explore the terrifying breadcrumbs: the bed that shakes hard enough to knock her sideways, a roommate who sees a light under a door that should be dark, and a dog that becomes guardian and witness. It's the kind of haunting that erodes life quietly — seizing bedrooms, splitting households, and turning sanctuary into quarantine. Is it a poltergeist, a parasitic entity feeding on fear, or a misunderstood spirit seeking connection? Or worse — has something chosen her as its host? #TrueGhostStory #AttachmentHaunting #HauntedPerson #RealHaunting #Paranormal #HauntedApartment #ShadowEntity #Poltergeist #HauntedHouse #CreepyEncounters #TheUnexplained #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?
