"I didn't even know there was a radio station over here." That sentence — or some version of it — came up so many times on this episode that it became the unofficial theme. On a special episode of The Valley Today recorded on the first day of the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber's Arising Leadership Program, host Janet Michael sits down in the studio with 16 high-school participants and program director Missy Spielman to talk about what brought them to the program, what surprised them about radio in particular, and where they think their futures might be headed — from anesthesiology to architecture inspired by Minecraft. You'll meet rising juniors and seniors from John Handley, Millbrook, Sherando, Clarke County, and James Wood, hear what each one is hoping to get from the week-and-a-half-long career exploration program, and find out which of them might be the next architect, anesthesiologist, attorney, dentist, sports broadcaster, business analyst, or — Janet's lobbying hard — radio station part-timer. Missy closes out with what she saw from the very first orientation: a group that walked in quiet and reserved, and within ten minutes were swapping numbers, ignoring school rivalries, and learning to network in the most authentic way possible. THE ARISING LEADERSHIP CLASS The 16 students featured on this episode, in interview order: • Owen Parker — Millbrook High School, rising senior • Lucy Gluszak — John Handley High School, 12th grade (returning as an intern after participating last year — now interning at the Winchester Regional Airport) • Sam Donohue — Clarke County High School, rising junior — interested in law • Emily Ramirez — Sherando High School, rising senior — interested in healthcare and agriculture • Cole Stockli — Millbrook High School, rising senior — interested in medical and culinary • Kimberly Andrade — John Handley High School, rising 11th grader • Hudson Slaughter — John Handley High School, rising 11th grader (older brother went through the program two years ago) • Jack Bruns — Sherando High School, junior — interested in business analytics • Tiffany Yau — Millbrook High School, rising senior — interested in engineering and medical sciences • Nyomi Coates — Sherando High School, rising senior — wants to be an architect (credit: Minecraft) • Amoni Hill — James Wood High School, rising senior — wants to be an anesthesiologist • Brennan Carter — Millbrook High School, rising senior — interested in engineering • Sierra Chastain — Clarke County High School, rising junior — wants to be a dentist (Janet lobbied for "DJ") • Noah Mandel — Sherando High School, rising junior — interested in physical therapy and sports medicine • Christiana Ekoue — John Handley High School, rising senior • Andrea Rojas — John Handley High School, rising senior IN THIS EPISODE (00:00) What the Arising Leadership Program is — and how Day 1 unfolded at The River 95.3 (00:30) How the station team split up the group: Sports Director Ryan Rutherford, Operations Manager Lonnie Hill, Business Manager Kathy Willis, and Janet (01:00) Meet the 16 students — short interviews about what drew them to the program and what they're hoping to learn (timestamps for each student are approximate, running consecutively from 01:00 to 19:00) (19:00) A sit-down with program director Missy Spielman (19:30) What Missy saw on orientation night — a quiet group that opened up in ten minutes flat (20:30) Why cross-school networking matters more than ever (and why school rivalries don't show up here the way they used to) (21:00) "You can't be it if you can't see it" — the program's mission in one sentence (21:30) Why so many former students are now the people Missy coordinates host visits with WHAT THE STUDENTS LEARNED AT THE STATION (in their own words) • Working on the elevator pitch was something they wouldn't have thought to do on their own • Communication is the foundation of everything — without it, projects "crash and burn" • Radio is much bigger than people think — multiple studios, not a closet with a microphone • The music you hear comes via satellite, often from Texas • Doing a weather blurb under a tight time limit is genuinely hard • Listeners tune out when they hear the same voice too long — voice variety keeps attention • Sports broadcasting takes far more planning than people realize ABOUT THE ARISING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM A career exploration program for rising high-school juniors and seniors across the Top of Virginia region. Over a week and a half, students rotate through industries in their own backyard — radio, aviation, law, healthcare, hospitality, culinary, criminal justice, agriculture, and more — to discover careers they may not have considered or even known existed.

The last time I spoke to Shannon LaDeau at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, in February, we were in the middle of our first classically cold winter in several years, thanks to a wonky polar vortex. I asked Shannon if all the deep freezes might lead to a down year for ticks and tick-borne illnesses. She reminded me that blacklegged ticks, the buggers responsible for Lyme disease, are well-adapted to cold weather. However, to pass pathogens to us, the ticks must feed on an infected animal, typically a deer or a white-footed mouse. If the brutal cold affected them, we could frolic with less concern. Unfortunately, it appears we will not have a carefree tick season. LaDeau and her colleagues are starting their annual tick counts in Millbrook, and there isn't any hard data yet on the deer and mice populations, but "the ticks so far do not seem to be showing any signs of suffering from winter effects," she said last week. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that emergency room visits for tick bites are three times what was reported at the same time last year. That's especially bad news considering a report that LaDeau and the Cary Institute just put out with researchers at SUNY Albany: Ticks in the Hudson Valley are becoming more likely to carry more than one pathogen, increasing the chances that you could get multiple diseases from just a single bite. The Cary Institute has been studying ticks for more than 30 years. It has decades of data and ticks placed in cold storage in anticipation of additional funding and improved technology. For the recent study, the researchers screened 10 years' worth of nymphal blacklegged ticks — the poppy-seed ones that are so difficult to detect — for 16 pathogens. They found that about 10 percent were carrying more than one pathogen, but that the rate had increased over the years. The most prevalent pathogens were those that cause Lyme disease and babesiosis, a malaria-like disease that can be devastating for some but has little effect on others. (I found out seven years ago that I had it only because it came up in a test when I gave blood.) If there's good news, it's that diseases such as the Powassan virus, which can cause brain inflammation and meningitis, only showed up in a single tick, and the bacteria (Bartonella henselae) that cause "cat scratch disease" didn't show up at all. The researchers also didn't find any ticks with alpha-gal, a molecule that can cause allergic reactions to red meat. That's not surprising, because lone star ticks are most likely to cause alpha-gal syndrome. While they have been found on Long Island, they are not prevalent in the Hudson Valley and haven't been found at Cary. But the researchers did find a few ticks carrying pathogens responsible for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which usually isn't found in blacklegged ticks. What's causing these changes? It's not clear, but LaDeau has some hypotheses. If nymphs carry more than one pathogen, it's likely they picked them up from the animal they bit, because they're probably too young to have had multiple meals. That would suggest deer and white-footed mice can also carry multiple pathogens, possibly from having been bitten repeatedly over years. Contracting one pathogen might also make hosts more vulnerable to infection from a different pathogen. "There are some lab studies that suggest that that's possible," said LaDeau. If you find a tick has been feasting on you for at least 12 hours, get tested for multiple infections. LaDeau worries that the prevalence of Lyme disease in the Hudson Valley has made doctors less likely to test for other infections or to start patients right away on an antibiotic such as doxycycline, which is not the best strategy for other infections. For instance, treating babesiosis requires anti-malarial drugs. It's also worth noting that Pfizer recently announced that its Lyme vaccine, which has completed Phase 3 trials, is 70 percent effective and has no repo...

Mariavittoria Mangini, known to many as Maria, is a nurse-midwife, scholar, psychedelic historian, and longtime advocate for the preservation of underground psychedelic knowledge. Maria's life intersects with several crucial streams of modern psychedelic history: early LSD culture in the Bay Area and at Millbrook, the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, Esalen in the 1970s, the work of Stanislav Grof, the emergence of midwifery and nursing as practices of care, and the long, complicated passage from psychedelic prohibition into the current renaissance. In this conversation, we explore: • Maria's first encounter with LSD as a teenager, • The strange mixture of recklessness and reverence that shaped early psychedelic exploration. • Her years at Esalen and her encounters with figures such as Stanislav Grof, Gregory Bateson, Leo Zeff, and others. • The relationship between birth, death and psychedelic experience • Her doctoral work, Yes, Mom Took Acid, and what long-term psychedelic users told her about social responsibility, and care for the larger world. • Her work in medical cannabis, and what today's psychedelic movement might learn from the successes and failures of cannabis legalization. • The founding of the Women's Visionary Council • Her relationship with Ann and Sasha Shulgin, whose partnership helped shape the modern psychedelic imagination. • This talk was originally recorded in a live format created by the Shulgin Foundation, and hosted by Stacey Blanke. The shulgin foundation is an organization dedicated to preserving and extending the legacy of Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin and Ann Shulgin. Sasha Shulgin was of course a visionary chemist credited with creating more than 150 psychedelic compounds and helping identify the distinctive psychological properties of MDMA. Ann Shulgin was a writer, artist, Jungian lay therapist, and an early practitioner in psychedelic-assisted therapy, especially known for her work with the Shadow.

New Cold Spring cop wrote children's book Barrett Magistro has been a police officer since 2009, and he wasn't long into his career when he realized not everyone sees law enforcement as an honorable profession. "There was a huge downturn in the way police officers were viewed through the media," says the officer, who lives in Fishkill and joined the Cold Spring Police Department last year. "A five-second TV newsclip is a tiny sliver of what police work is; it's not the whole situation." Magistro wanted to change that perception and felt that any shift would begin with children. "I wanted to show them the human side of being a police officer and that for a community, law enforcement is a positive." To that end, in 2017, Magistro wrote and published a children's book for ages 4 to 7 called How I Found Hope. It was inspired by an encounter on a cold, snowy morning in January 2010, while he was on patrol in Mount Hope, in Orange County. A passerby waved him down, alerting him to an abandoned pit bull puppy. "She was about 8 months old, and you could tell she was abused," says Magistro of the dog. "You could see her ribs and spine." As soon as Magistro opened the door of his squad car, the dog jumped in. He took her to the Port Jervis Humane Society and began checking in daily. Soon, he had adopted the pup, which he named Hope. Like police officers, Magistro felt pit bulls suffered from misperceptions. "Pit bulls were originally nanny dogs because they're loyal, sweet and loving dogs," he says. Their reputation for aggression is "about how they're raised." Magistro says that, as someone who worked as an engineer before joining the police academy, writing didn't come easy. "I was actually terrible academically in school," he says. He didn't have time to promote the book, he says, and put it on the back burner once he had sold 125 copies and recouped his investment. Hope lived for 15 years, three more than expected for a pit bull. But her story didn't end there. "I started thinking of a way to keep Hope's memory alive," Magistro said. Last month, he published a second edition of the book. He also found a manufacturer to make a black-and-white stuffed animal. He sells both online at hopethepitbull.com. Last month, Magistro began scheduling readings at schools and daycare centers, with a toy version of Hope at his side. He plans visits to the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Westchester County and hospitals in New York City. Magistro is partnering with Angels of Light, a Millbrook-based nonprofit that supports families in the Hudson Valley who are dealing with a life-threatening illness or whose lives have been altered by an accident or death. "Barrett's compassion and caring for children has evolved not only through his book but also by giving comfort and love to very ill children with his stuffed animal," says Lori Cassia-Decker, a co-founder of Angels of Light. Magistro has more books in mind and has written two stories featuring himself and Hope as protagonists. "One is about a dog that's scared of the dark, and I make a nightlight for her, and the other is about dealing with loss," he says. He smiles when recalling Hope. When she was adopted, Magistro and his wife had two chihuahuas, Junior and Bobbi. "Hope always thought of herself as small because she was so young when we got her," he said. "She actually thought she was a chihuahua and tried to sleep in their tiny beds."

Winchester's Indoor Pool: What's Next for Aquatics at Jim Barnett Park? Winchester Parks & Recreation Director Chris Konyar joins Janet to discuss the future of the city's indoor pool — and why your input matters right now. What's the issue? The War Memorial building's older wing dates to 1957, and the indoor pool itself was installed in 1975. By 2029–2030, the city will face a mandatory renovation: new roof, HVAC, locker rooms, and the pool itself. Three concepts on the table: Concept A – Fix and upgrade the existing pool (ventilation, spectator space, pump room). City-only. Est. $8–10M. Concept B – Add a second body of water within the existing footprint, expanding programming capacity and accommodating the area's growing number of high school swim teams. Concept C – A full regional aquatic facility, potentially incorporating the outdoor pool into a larger indoor/outdoor complex. Requires regional partnerships (Frederick County, Clarke County, Shenandoah University, local swim clubs, etc.) to share costs — and could unlock private fundraising. Why it matters beyond city limits: The Winchester pool already functions as a de facto regional pool, hosting teams from Handley, Millbrook, James Wood, and Sherando. A fifth high school is on the way. Shenandoah University is exploring adding Division III swimming. The survey is open to everyone in the region — not just city residents. Take the survey: winchesterva.gov/aquatics All feedback is welcome — even if you never use the pool. That data is just as valuable. Questions?

It's Die Hard in a diner! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're discussing David Cronenberg's masterful 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, a story that begins (and ends) with a DIE HARD-type scenario…and goes deep and hard on the consequences of surviving such an event. Mild mannered family man Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) owns and runs a diner in the small, Norman Rockwellian town of Millbrook, Indiana, where he lives a quiet, happy life with his wife Edie (Maria Bello) and their two children, teenage son Jack (Ashton Holmes) and a young daughter Sarah (Heidi Hayes). However, Tom's seemingly idyllic existence is shattered when he thwarts an attempted robbery at the diner, killing two murderous criminals in the process. The local media laud Tom as a hero, and the subsequent press attention results in the appearance of sinister Philadelphia mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris), who believes that “Tom Stall” is in fact “Joey Cusack” a fellow mobster from his past. As Fogerty and his henchmen begin threatening Tom and his family, much of the subsequent tension stems from the uncertainty as to who Tom really is…and what he intends to do about this escalating threat to those he loves. The guys discuss their favorite Cronenberg films and where this particular picture fits within the auteur's oeuvre. They talk about the myriad DIE HARD connections in the ‘DIE HARD DNA' section, discuss its various themes, its provocative presentation of violence and sex, and the remarkable performances. Awards are handed out in the ‘DIE HARD Oscars' and events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy' quiz!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Silas's final recording reveals the price of breaking the Pattern: someone must become the eternal narrator, forever telling the story to keep it from becoming real again. As Halloween strikes midnight and Millbrook dissolves into nothing, Void Margaret speaks a new story into existence—one where the people remember they're more than their fears, where the Entity is revealed as nothing but fear that grew too strong. With each word, Void Margaret becomes the town itself—every brick, breath, and word—transforming into Millbrook's permanent guardian story.The Entity cracks and wears out like an overplayed record while Void Margaret becomes distributed through everything: the voice that whispers "it's just a dream," the guardian ensuring ghost stories end well, the shield between darkness and light. Real Margaret finds one final blank record labeled "Play only if the Pattern returns," containing Void Margaret's story for future generations. The series ends with Void Margaret's voice in the wind, forever telling the story that keeps Millbrook safe: "Once upon a time, there was a town called Millbrook. And everyone lived happily ever after."Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.All twenty-seven recordings play simultaneously as the shattered record player reassembles itself, causing all five October cycles to collapse into the same moment—multiple versions of every horror manifest at once, fighting each other for the right to be real while downtown Millbrook phases between five different centuries. Real Margaret reveals she created void-Margaret as an eight-year-old's imaginary friend, playing pretend with blank records and telling the story so many times that void-Margaret became real and needed to create her own history through the recordings.Five versions of each horror battle in the streets—Davidson-things tearing at each other, Lucy Hendersons trying to eat each other, Silas Cranes all recording different truths—while the fictional horrors begin murdering real people. A child's voice (eight-year-old Margaret) echoes through the chaos revealing she recorded the last three episodes herself as fail-safes that create endings, not horror, hidden somewhere in the library that now exists in five temporal states simultaneously. Real Margaret and void-Margaret must work together to find the hidden recordings as the Pattern collapses rather than completes, making everything true at once while the entity counts "TWENTY-EIGHT PLAYING. TWO MORE NEEDED."Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Clara Mitchell, the only survivor from 1924, has been in Millbrook Asylum for fifty years, pregnant the entire time with Benjamin, her never-born son who's been gestating in reverse, getting younger until he becomes nothing—she survived by agreeing to carry one of the thirty inside her forever, but her body is now just hollow skin wrapped around a womb. When Margaret arrives at the asylum that's about to un-exist, Clara's transparent torso reveals the backward-aging baby with ancient eyes, whose mouth contains the entire flooded town of Millbrook, explaining he'll be born as nothing on Halloween and consume everything in an anti-birth that un-creates creation. Clara pushes Margaret's transparent arm into her womb where Margaret experiences all future Patterns—2075, 2125, 2175—revealing they never stop, while the tiny Millbrooks in her arm become pregnant with their own deaths. The asylum begins shrinking and un-constructing around them, returning to never-having-been as Clara reveals the ninth point isn't a place but an un-place, a never-was that all of Millbrook will become. Margaret finds her own birth certificate dated October 31st, 1774, marked "Status: Unborn," revealing none of them were ever born—they're all still in the womb, waiting to be delivered into nothing.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Mayor Davidson demonstrates the town's supernatural isolation to Silas—every call for help becomes weather chat, every evidence photo becomes a family portrait, every letter about deaths becomes mundane requests, because the town charter is written on living skin that rewrites all communication with the outside world. Margaret wakes up leaking water from her human parts while Davidson reveals he's not Davidson but the thing that's worn the Davidson family like suits since 1774, showing her the real charter written in blood on flesh that depicts Millbrook being summoned from the lake, not founded.Through the charter, Margaret sees the truth: there is no town above water, just shadows moving on a lake bed, all of them ghosts who don't know they're dead, kept unaware by the charter's translation filter. Davidson rips off Margaret's scaled arm when it writes "THE CHARTER IS HIS BODY," then eats it before revealing he IS Millbrook itself—every building his bone, every street his vein, every person his cell. Margaret's new transparent arm grows back containing a miniature Millbrook with tiny people inside, recursively drowning in infinite smaller towns within towns, each tiny Margaret playing recordings and dissolving as they become too real to exist in a place where only dreams and lies can breathe.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Thomas Brennan, ninety-three years old, reveals he actually died in 1924 at age forty-two—drowned in his bedroom with no water present—but got up the next morning and has been dying in reverse for fifty years with his heart beating backward, pulling blood in instead of pushing out. In his gravity-confused house where furniture exists on ceilings, Thomas demonstrates his death by separating into age layers on his bed, drowning in water that doesn't exist until a smaller water-Thomas crawls from his corpse's mouth, explaining "it" kills you then wears you while you remain conscious inside.When Thomas pulls Margaret into a mirror, she sees the truth: everyone in Millbrook is a fragment of Sarah Blackwood's shattered death from 1774, not people but pieces of an ending that won't stop. The room floods with real water revealing an underwater neighborhood where hundreds of dead Brennans live in perpetual drowning, and when Margaret breathes water instead of air, she experiences being everyone and no one simultaneously. After Thomas pulls her back and melts into water himself, Margaret's scaled arm has written "TOMORROW" obsessively across all its scales, knowing something crucial will happen in the next recording.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Dr. Ashford's autopsies reveal bodies are just skin containing black water that forms words when drained—"We are becoming the lake"—while Mr. Foster's corpse releases gallons of water containing hundreds of microscopic versions of himself, all drowning and transforming simultaneously. Dr. Christopher Ashford, Marcus's son, shows Margaret seventeen standing corpses surrounding a floating baby that emerged from Mrs. Patterson after fifty years of reverse pregnancy, explaining that every founding family member carries a seed of their original self from 1774.The Ashford doctors are revealed as one consciousness dispersed across time, studying how Millbrook's entire population exists dissolved in the water supply, transforming people from inside into colonies of microscopic selves. Most horrifying is Sarah Blackwood's actual corpse from 1774, preserved in frozen time, still in labor after 251 years—the thirty babies trying to be born as humans while Davidson keeps them monstrous to maintain his immortality. Christopher gives Margaret a vial containing the real Sarah, instructing her to drink it on Halloween to become Sarah completely, give birth to the thirty as humans, and poison IT from inside when Davidson murders her again.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Eight-year-old Emily Patterson, sole unchanged survivor of the Hendricks house incident, has been drawing the same prophetic scene for fifty-one years—thirty figures surrounding Millbrook on Halloween as the town drowns, with a faceless woman at the center who Emily says "hasn't decided which face to wear yet." Living frozen at age eight in a psychiatric facility since 1974, Emily reveals the shocking truth through her drawings: Margaret is Sarah Blackwood reincarnated, trying for the sixth time to solve her own murder from 1774, when Mayor Davidson—still alive and unchanged after 251 years—killed her to steal her pregnancy. The thirty founding families are actually IT's hybrid offspring born from Sarah's corpse, and Davidson has been feeding them back to their father every fifty years to maintain his immortality. Emily ages fifty-one years in seconds as Davidson arrives to silence her, the psychiatric facility sinking into the earth as Margaret flees with drawings showing she must give birth to thirty human babies on Halloween to break the cycle—but Davidson has already left her the same knife that's killed her five times before.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Detective Ryan Morrison hasn't slept for forty-eight hours because when he closes his eyes he becomes someone else, looking out through drowned eyes—his investigation reveals he's not a descendant but the same detective dying and being reborn every fifty years, investigating his own murder. Margaret finds him fragmented into multiple versions of himself in his office, each investigating different timelines, as he demonstrates his condition by shooting himself repeatedly while new versions remain standing. The Morrisons aren't a family but iterations of the same person, and they've discovered the Pattern's origin: in 1774, a pregnant Blackwood woman was murdered by hunger given form, bursting into thirty infants who became Millbrook's founding families. The most horrifying revelation comes when all versions of Ryan die simultaneously to reveal the truth—Margaret isn't just a Blackwood descendant but IS Sarah Blackwood, the original murdered woman, investigating her own death that created the Pattern 251 years ago and will happen again in sixteen days.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

This week's Book Picks comes from Roxanna Pisiak from Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley, MA and we also welcome Kira Wizner from Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook, NY.

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.The Mitchell Mine, sealed since a 1947 collapse that killed seventeen miners, begins calling out current residents' names in voices that shouldn't exist. When rescuers pull Thomas Mitchell up from thirty feet of water after twenty-seven years, he begins to dissolve in the air while his skin screams from every pore, warning that they're digging to where the Pattern begins. Margaret descends through impossible depths to find the missing thirty-seven townspeople fused together into grotesque configurations, mining with tools made of compressed water while their bodies adapt with migrated eyes and new gills. At ninety feet down—deeper than the mine ever went—she discovers the breakthrough to the original lake, which isn't water but a living stomach organ containing everyone who's ever drowned in Millbrook, conscious and happy to be part of its digestive system. The thirteenth point marks where humans are revealed to be food that's been seasoning itself for 251 years, while Margaret's hands begin developing webbing and her eyes loosen, ready to migrate.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Welcome to a special series of Art Pays Me interviews with the winners of the 2024 Creative Nova Scotia Awards. Presented annually by Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council, these awards celebrate artistic excellence across Mi'kma'ki. Alan Syliboy grew up believing that native art was generic.  “As a youth, I found painting difficult and painful, because I was unsure of my identity.” But his confidence grew in 1972 when he studied privately with Shirley Bear. He then attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, where 25 years later, he was invited to sit on the Board of Governors. Syliboy looked to the indigenous Mi'kmaq petroglyph tradition for inspiration and developed his own artistic vocabulary out of those forms. His popularization of these symbolic icons has conferred on them a mainstream legitimacy that restores community pride in its Mi'kmaq heritage. Alan still lives and works in Millbrook, NS, where he was born and raised.  He creates his art in his studio in Truro, NS. This special episode would not be possible without the support of Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council, and the fantastic production work of Heist and Keke Beatz.

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Silas maps every incident across Millbrook and discovers they form an ancient symbol—not random points but thirty teeth in a vast mouth about to open. The Pattern is actually a drain, designed to pull everything down into what's been waiting beneath Miller's Lake, growing stronger with each fifty-year feeding. Margaret's investigation of the town square fountain becomes a nightmare when another version of herself from 1974 emerges and pulls her down through impossible depths to reveal the truth: the Pattern is the living anatomy of something that existed before land rose from the waters. The Blackwood family aren't witnesses but antibodies, ensuring the feeding happens on schedule, because the alternative is the entire continent returning to primordial ocean. Margaret discovers the list of thirty names for 2025's sacrifice—and her name is number thirty. The horrifying choice becomes clear: thirty souls or seven billion, and every Blackwood before her who looked for another way has failed.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.The seventh floor is empty but their shadows remain, pacing behind windows without bodies to cast them. As the Millbrook Arms transforms floor by floor, David Park discovers the building is growing downward—negative floors that shouldn't exist, filled with drowned versions of residents who are somehow still alive. Margaret descends impossible staircases to find fourteen floors instead of seven, a perfect reflection going up and down, with the missing residents learning to breathe underwater. The Holloways, the original water bearers of Millbrook, are being absorbed into the building's infrastructure, becoming the very water that rises through its pipes. When Margaret emerges, she finds the eighth point fully marked—not just a building, but a depth gauge showing how far the entire town will sink.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.The Millbrook Arms apartments begin drowning from the top down when Walter Holloway in 7G disappears, leaving his apartment empty of people but full of impossible standing water that exists without source or explanation. Silas documents how all seventh-floor residents vanish within days, forty-three people gone while their shadows continue pacing behind windows, and the sixth floor begins experiencing water dripping through bone-dry ceilings above. Margaret discovers the building is transforming into something else—a structure that exists simultaneously wet and dry, where the Holloway family members serve as human pipes through which dark water rises. The building manager reveals fourteen floors on the directory instead of seven, with negative floors listing residents who died in 1974, as the eighth point of the Pattern marks not just location but depth—showing how far Millbrook will sink into the reservoir that remembers everything.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The first recording, made by her vanished predecessor Silas Crane, documents an impossible morning when five children appeared in the locked library with clouded eyes, walking through solid doors and corrupting every book they touched. As Margaret investigates Silas's claims, she makes a horrifying discovery: the same thing happened this morning with a new generation of children. Whatever nightmare consumed Millbrook in October 1974 has returned exactly fifty years later, and Margaret has only thirty recordings to understand the Pattern before Halloween arrives.

This October, "Ghost - Scary Stories" presents a special 31-night Halloween event. When librarian Margaret Blackwood discovers thirty mysterious vinyl records from 1974, she ignores the warning: "Play one per day. Never more. The dead grow stronger when rushed." Each recording reveals another horror that touched Millbrook fifty years ago—children walking through walls, nurses working after death, houses that breathe. But as Margaret plays the recordings, she realizes she's not just listening to the past. She's creating it. And something ancient is using her voice to speak itself into existence. A new episode every night in October, counting down to Halloween. Thirty recordings. Thirty horrors. One terrible truth.
