When her father accepted a position with the National Park Service, the family moved into a historic home deep in the Pennsylvania woods. It was quiet, beautiful, and seemed like the perfect place to live.Before long, she found herself waking to the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom. She never questioned them. Surely it was one of her parents or her younger brother heading to the bathroom.Then, over time, other family members began reporting strange experiences of their own.None of them claimed the house was haunted. But for the first time, she found herself asking a question she'd never considered before: What if those footsteps hadn't belonged to her family after all?#HauntedHouse #HistoricHome #GhostFootsteps #Paranormal #RealGhostStories #NationalPark #HauntedHistory #GhostStory #UnexplainedMysteries #PhantomFootsteps #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #Supernatural #HauntedHallway #PennsylvaniaGhostsLove real ghost stories?

Ganz klar, wenn man zum ersten Mal in die USA reist, wird man höchstwahrscheinlich nicht gerade Arkansas und Alabama besuchen. Wegen der wechselvollen oft dunklen Geschichte der Südstaaten gibt es in den Südosten des Landes viel zu entdecken – Orte, die an die Bürgerrechtsbewegung erinnern ebenso wie lebendige Musikgeschichte, Artenvielfalt in State Parks und schnuckelige kleine Downtowns.„La petite roche“- kleiner Felsen- so nannte der französische Entdecker de la Harpe eine Gesteinsformation, als er Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts den heutigen Arkansas River landeinwärts entlangschipperte. Die Hauptstadt des heutigen Bundesstaats Arkansas heißt „Little Rock“. Eine Stadt mit rund 200 000 Einwohnern, die sich über viele Quadratkilometer verteilt, aus einem Patchwork unterschiedlicher Neighbourhoods besteht und mit viel Interessantem aufwartet. Nahe des State Capitols von Arkansas erinnert eine eindrucksvolle Skulptur an die „Little Rock Nine“.Das waren die ersten afroamerikanischen Schülerinnen und Schüler, die nach der offiziellen Aufhebung der Rassentrennung in Arkansas eine High School besuchten. 1957 war das - der Gouverneur von Arkansas versuchte, ihnen den Besuch der High School zu verwehren, ein weißer Mob demonstrierte vor der Schule. Und Präsident Eisenhower setzte schließlich Bundestruppen ein, um die Schüler zum Unterricht zu eskortieren. Heute wird die High School samt Gelände vom National Park Service betreut, es gibt Führungen und unterschiedlichste Veranstaltungen.Überhaupt, Little Rock bietet eine ziemlich vielfältige Museumslandschaft. Von den dichten Wäldern und mittelgebirgsähnlichen Regionen in Arkansas zum Süden von Alabama. Das Tensaw River Delta bei Mobile wird auch der „Amazonas Nordamerikas“ genannt. Hier, wo sich Salz- und Süßwasser mischen, ist eine enorme Artenvielfalt zu finden - allein rund 300 Vogelarten sind hier gesichtet worden, dazu zahlreiche Amphibien, Alligatoren und kleine Säugetiere.Mobile selbst gehört zu den ältesten Städten der USA und ist besonders stolz auf seinen „Mardi Gras“, den ältesten Nordamerikas. Doch Mobile steht auch für ein dunkles Kapitel der amerikanischen Geschichte - im Viertel Africatown erzählt ein kleines Museum seit einigen Jahren die Geschichte der „Clotilda“. Das Schiff schmuggelte 1860 – Jahrzehnte nach dem Verbot des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels - 110 aus Westafrika verschleppte Menschen nach Alabama. Ihre Nachfahren leben heute teilweise noch in Africatown. Und wollen mit dem Museum aber auch mit regelmäßigen Veranstaltungen dafür sorgen, dass ihre Geschichte nicht in Vergessenheit gerät.Crosspromotion: ARD-Podcast: "Amerika, wir müssen reden" https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/amerika-wir-muessen-reden,podcast5882.htmlModeration: Philipp AbreschAutor:in: Sabine LoeprickRedaktion: Philipp Abresch, Angelika PenzMitarbeit: Patricia Batlle Produktion: Wolfgang Seesko, Konrad Winkler
"(Climate modelling)…it's being used in things like insurance companies. It's being used by companies for their ESG assessments. So, when you get your insurance premium at the end of the year, there is some kind of climate model that has said something about the risk of your house to flood. It has said something about your risk to fire. And so that might be driving up your insurance premium…And so it's being involved in your lives in many different ways. The food you consume, those grocery bills, there's prices behind it that are being driven by people using climate models saying something about the supply chain." Maria Caffrey on Electric Ladies Podcast With France, Spain and parts of the U.S. and Canada ablaze, tornadoes and floods wiping out communities - and insurance costs rising - we see how critical climate modelling is. How does climate modelling work? How reliable is it? Listen to climate scientist Maria Caffrey, Ph.D., Principal Scientist at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (and formerly at the U.S. National Park Service) in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How climate modelling actually works, and who uses it and why. ● How climate modelling measures risk and how reliable it really is – especially at a time of geological and weather patterns never seen before. ● What the economic and social impact is of how climate modelling is used today. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I think my big advice would be you just have to roll with the punches and not let your vision of what you should be, define where you are now. You've just got to move with what's right for you at the time….I feel like I'm making a far greater impact honestly, with where I am right now than I never could have predicted….See where things take you. Networking was very important. I will say there are some people around me that have been incredible in getting me on the path that I'm in. And so yeah, if you're unsure, should I be going to this networking drinks or whatever after work, I would say, go for it for sure."

(Courtesy Nishnawbe Aski Nation / YouTube) Indigenous leaders in Ontario are calling for a public inquiry into how the provincial government responded to the wildfires that ripped through parts of Northern Ontario. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, at least two First Nations communities burned to the ground. Several First Nations leaders held a news conference in Thunder Bay recently to counter claims by the Ontario government that it did communicate and respond with Native communities about the fire dangers. Helen Paavola is the chief of the Collins First Nation. “There's nothing left but just ashes. My members barely escaped with the clothes on their back.” Paavola says her community was left to evacuate without notice or support from the government, but Ontario Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response Jill Dunlop insists there was communication. “There has been a lot of communication back and forth between First Nations communities with myself and with my colleagues and our ministry officials as well.” But Alvin Fiddler, grand chief of the Nishnabe Aski Nation, disagrees. “They were here on Saturday. Premier Doug Ford some ministers were here as well and they didn't even bother to reach out to First Nations leaders.” The chiefs are calling for changes, including officials at the top of the forest fire and emergency services for the ministry of natural resources, pending an independent investigation. And they want a public inquiry into decision making, emergency coordination, and communications with First Nations as well as over provincial preparedness. Jerrod Sessler addresses the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce candidate forum, July 21, 2026. (Courtesy Columbia Basin Herald / Facebook) A congressional candidate in Washington state has apologized for recent remarks that falsely claimed the Colville Tribe has an “incentive” for more fires, because they get “free money” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). KREM 2 TV reports that Republican Jerrod Sessler hopes to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) in an upcoming primary. The district includes parts of the Colville Indian reservation and the entire Yakama Reservation, which are both experiencing wildfires. At a candidate forum on July 21, Sessler made the following comments about the Colville Tribe. “They don’t pay taxes for anything, but yet we fight those fires to the tune of millions of dollars, and they got a check from FEMA for $30 million for the fire. So what's the incentive for them? The incentive is more fires, ‘Because we get free money.'” Tribal officials condemned Sessler's remarks, reminding people that Native citizens pay federal income “and other applicable federal taxes” while outlining how FEMA funds disaster responses. In a statement sent to tribal leaders Monday, Sessler said his remarks were “ill-informed and incorrect” and there is “no excuse for making these sorts of public comments without verifying the information.” Sessler is one of 11 candidates vying for the 4th Congressional District in the August 4 primary. And the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference just wrapped up in Portland, Oreg. The Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) organized the three-day event, which held panels ranging from how to best cover the MMIP crisis to doing social videos. Melissa Greene-Blye (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma) of the IJA education committee says final registration totals came to roughly 490 attendees, one of the best turnouts yet. “That’s really exciting, um, to maybe find out that word of what’s happening is spreading and people are saying, ‘I want to be a part of this’, and they’re showing up.” Chuck Sams (Cayuse/Walla Walla, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation), the first Native director of the National Park Service, gave the keynote address. Greene-Blye says new developments also sparked interest. “The launch of the Pacific Islander Journalism Network at conference, there was a lot of excitement with that. The new bylaws were an important point of discussion, because it had been decades since they had been updated. Now, the Indigenous Journalist Association renaming is official, official, official on paper, in law.” The event wrapped up with the IJA awards and banquet, which honored Osage News editor Shannon Shaw Duty with two IJA distinguished awards. Former National Native News host Antonia Gonzales (Navajo) was also recognized for her 22 years of hosting this program. Next year's conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minn.

A district attorney doesn't send a drowning to a grand jury. So why is that exactly what's happening in the Nolan Wells case? Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats until dark, and then everyone heads back to the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was requested. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned. They've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released, and some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what they saw. None of that explains why the district attorney has now sent the case to a grand jury. Attorney Ben Crump is running a separate, independent investigation for the family, and online, two camps have already dug in — one certain something sinister happened, one certain everyone should calm down. Neither one has seen what the grand jury is about to see. A grand jury doesn't get convened over paperwork. Somewhere between the boat leaving and the ranger finding his body, prosecutors saw something worth putting in front of twelve strangers, and they haven't said what it is.

Nobody has to push someone off a boat for a death to become a crime. Prosecutors may be about to test that with the Nolan Wells case. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July, he and a group of friends took a boat out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast. He was last seen there around three in the afternoon. His friends left without him. A National Park Service ranger recovered his body two mornings later, off the island's northwestern tip. Officials initially said they believed Nolan drowned and that they didn't suspect foul play, before the autopsy was even complete. That same office has since said investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what occurred, a statement that sits uneasily next to the first one. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has told the family the case will go to a grand jury once the investigation wraps. What twelve jurors do with a death that has never been formally classified, and whether leaving a person behind on an island can amount to a crime on its own, is the question at the center of this one. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after leaving the island, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. Crump's experts and Jackson County investigators have agreed to examine the device together. The family has also arranged its own independent autopsy in Washington, D.C., separate from the one performed by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office. Neither result has been released. Two autopsies, a missing chunk of texts, and a legal theory nobody has tested yet.

There are ninety minutes in the Nolan Wells timeline that nobody has ever fully explained, and they sit right at the center of everything. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The timeline itself is mostly machine-logged and undisputed. A boat left a dock outside Ocean Springs at 9:56 on the morning of the Fourth of July. The group reached Horn Island by 11:14. The boat left the island at 4:31 that afternoon, passed Fort Bayou near 5:52, reached a dock at 6:06, and was pulled from the water at a launch by 7:19 before heading overland to Biloxi. Between those clean, logged numbers sits the gap. Nolan was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon. Around four, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. Investigators haven't publicly explained those ninety minutes. Neither have the friends who were out there. Neither has the family's own legal team. A National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 Monday morning off the island's northwestern tip, in the exact patch of water that had turned up nothing during a search the day before. There's a phone left on the dashboard with two competing explanations, an empty photo roll with two competing explanations, and a video that circulated widely with two competing accounts of how it surfaced. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after he was left behind, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. No agency has released a cause or manner of death. Ninety minutes is a long stretch of ocean to leave unaccounted for.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nolan Wells was last seen on Horn Island on the Fourth of July. Help wasn't requested for roughly thirteen hours. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out on the island with friends from Ocean Springs. Horn Island sits about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, uninhabited, no buildings, no fresh water, no service. On the holiday it's packed with boats until dark, and then every one of those boats turns back toward the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, but they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there in those missing hours. A friend has said he called the Coast Guard that night, and that Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. What isn't clear is why so much time passed between the moment Nolan was last seen and the moment anyone outside that group of friends knew he was missing. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play, a line that landed before the public had any real answers to weigh it against. His cause and manner of death haven't been released. Some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what actually happened on that island. Attorney Ben Crump is now running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says the case is headed to a grand jury. Thirteen hours is a long time to be missing on an island with no way to call for help. It's an even longer time for a mother to wait for answers she still doesn't have.

Somebody on that boat trip knows more than they're saying about what happened to Nolan Wells, and some of them are reportedly too scared to say it. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats and coolers until the sun goes down and everyone heads for the mainland. His friends made it back. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was actually requested. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, and they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released. Tony sits down with Robin Dreeke to break down what it actually means when witnesses go quiet in a case like this, what a "no foul play" statement does and doesn't prove, and why silence from the people who were physically there is its own kind of evidence. Attorney Ben Crump is running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says this is heading to a grand jury. Some witnesses have talked to investigators. Others reportedly haven't said much at all, and the family wants to know why. Fear doesn't mean guilt. But it doesn't mean nothing, either.

Search crews covered a patch of water off Horn Island on Sunday and found nothing. A ranger went back Monday morning and found Nolan Wells. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. He was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon on the Fourth of July. About ninety minutes later, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. The boat left the island at 4:31, and a National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 the next morning, off the island's northwestern tip, in the same general area searched the day before. Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to walk through what that gap between the two searches actually means, and what it doesn't. Currents, timing, visibility, and search patterns can all explain a miss like that. So can other things. Neither of them is claiming to know which one this is. They also dig into the parts of this case that still don't line up: a phone left on the dashboard with two competing explanations, an empty photo roll with two competing explanations, and a video that circulated widely with two competing accounts of how it got out. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had control of his phone after he was left behind, and that messages had already been deleted by the time the family got it back. No agency has released a cause or manner of death. The family has arranged its own independent examination in Washington, D.C., separate from the one done by the state, and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath says the case is heading to a grand jury once the investigation is complete. Where a body is found, and when, tells its own part of the story.

Send us Fan MailWhen the National Park Service added hydrogen peroxide to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the internet immediately decided it had found the culprit behind the peeling coating.But science doesn't work that way.In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a research-first approach to one of the most discussed pool stories of the year. Instead of asking whether hydrogen peroxide caused a coating failure, he asks a different question:Why was hydrogen peroxide chosen in the first place?Drawing from published scientific literature on cyanobacteria, harmful algal blooms, microbiology, biofilms, and water treatment, Rudy explores how hydrogen peroxide affects microorganisms, why mature biofilms are so difficult to eliminate, and why swimming pool professionals may need to rethink the way they've approached "black algae" for decades.This isn't a product pitch.It isn't a treatment recommendation.And it certainly isn't clickbait.It's an evidence-based discussion designed to separate what science has demonstrated from what still remains a hypothesis.The episode also introduces the first part of Rudy's proposed research protocol—a hypothesis assembled from published mechanisms that has not been validated in controlled swimming pool research—and explains exactly where established science ends and new investigation begins.If you're tired of opinions masquerading as facts, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeWhy the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was treated with hydrogen peroxideWhy concentration matters more than percentageCorrelation versus causation in coating failuresWhat published research says about hydrogen peroxide and cyanobacterial bloomsThe difference between free-floating algae and mature cyanobacterial biofilmsHow extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protect biofilmsWhy oxidants often struggle against established biofilmsThe biology behind oxidative stressPhotosystem II, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage explainedWhy mature biofilms deserve to be studied separatelyWhy Rudy believes better questions lead to better scienceThe first step in a proposed research protocol using aluminum sulfateWhy coagulation and physical removal may reduce oxidant demand before disinfectionWhere the published literature ends—and where hypothesis generation beginsKey TakeawayScience advances by asking better questions—not by rushing to conclusions.This episode doesn't claim to have solved black algae. It challenges listeners to examine what the published research actually supports, recognize the limits of current knowledge, and think critically about where future swimming pool research should go.SponsorsSpecial thanks to the companies that support education and the advancement of the swimming pool industry:Blu-ray XLUnited ChemicalLaMotte CompanyRevved Up ApparelAqua Comfort Water GroupAquaStar Pool ProductsJack's Magic ProductsService Industry NewsConnect with Talking Pools

A Mississippi teenager who never came off an island, and a Massachusetts mother about to face a jury. Two cases. One mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a college wide receiver, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited, roughly ten miles offshore, with no shelter and no reliable signal. The boats went home. He wasn't on one. A National Park Service ranger recovered him from the water two mornings later. Two examinations of him exist and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death are undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family and the district attorney has said the case is headed to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and psychotic. Prosecutors have countered by pointing to other mothers who got just as sick and did something else. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never given police a statement.Tony Brueski works through all of it: the boat, the island, the two autopsies, the grand jury, the medication lists, the eighteen jurors, and the question of who is speaking for three children in a Plymouth County courtroom.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat, the island, and what charges look like when nobody will say how somebody died. The Clancy half comes from mothers who had intrusive thoughts and never told a soul, and people asking whether any ending in Plymouth County could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

Live, Tony Brueski takes the full mailbag on two cases — Nolan Wells in Mississippi and Lindsay Clancy in Massachusetts.Nolan Wells, eighteen, rode out to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is undeveloped, about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with no shelter, no fresh water, and no reliable way to call anybody. The boats went home without him. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water two days later. There are two examinations of him and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. Attorney Ben Crump is running an independent investigation and the district attorney has said the case will go to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan — at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Her attorney argues she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated and experiencing postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors have pointed to other mothers who lived through the same condition without harming their children. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy, who publicly forgave his wife, is a defense witness. She has never given law enforcement a statement.The questions on the table: why a boat left an island with a kid still on it, what happens if two autopsies conflict, whether a grand jury can charge anybody, what a jury does when the only person who knows what happened has never spoken, and whether any ending in that Plymouth County courtroom could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

An eighteen-year-old college athlete named Nolan Wells took a boat to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Every one of those friends made it back to the mainland. He was found in the water off the island two mornings later by a National Park Service ranger.The mail on this case has almost nothing to do with the forensic questions dominating national coverage. It's about a decision. Somebody started an engine. Somebody untied a line. Somebody looked at an empty seat and went home anyway.Tony Brueski reads those messages and works through what makes them so hard to shake — starting with what Horn Island actually is. Not a resort island. Not a town. An undeveloped barrier island roughly ten miles offshore with no shelter, no fresh water, and no dependable way to reach anybody. Beautiful in daylight. Completely unforgiving after dark.The questions in this mailbag come down to what the friends have said and what they've avoided saying. Whether anyone thought he was on a different boat, and whether anyone checked. How a person survives a night out there with nothing.Per the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, a friend contacted the Coast Guard late that night and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, contacted the sheriff's office shortly afterward. Officials have said they believe he drowned and do not suspect foul play, while also saying the work of determining exactly what happened continues.Cause and manner of death have not been released. Ben Crump is investigating independently for the family. The district attorney has said a grand jury will see it.Everything in this case starts on that island.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it's the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it's empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island's northwestern tip.Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who's still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.The sheriff's office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan's mother called the sheriff's office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.The island first. Then everything else.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Learn about a Yellowstone bison attack, a Wyoming bear encounter camping, and discuss the 2026 National High School Rodeo Finals. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Outdoors and Western Lifestyle News: Bison, Bears & Rodeo From the rodeo arena to the great outdoors, today's headlines highlight both the excitement and unpredictability of life across the American West. Here's a look at three stories making news. Yellowstone National Park Visitor Seriously Injured After Aggressive Bison Attack at Bridge Bay Campground A visitor to Yellowstone National Park was seriously injured Friday evening after an aggressive bull bison charged and tossed him about eight feet or more into the air near Bridge Bay Campground. Professional photographer Mike MacLeod, who witnessed and filmed the incident, said the man was walking with his grandson when the bison suddenly charged, despite the pair being about 100 yards away. The grandson escaped, but the grandfather was struck by the bison, flipped into the air, and suffered serious injuries. MacLeod said the bull had been acting aggressively throughout the campground, charging at vehicles, people, and anything in its path. After the attack, the bison stood over the injured man until MacLeod and several bystanders shouted and moved toward the animal, causing it to retreat. Other campers immediately called 911 and helped care for the victim until Yellowstone emergency crews arrived. The National Park Service has not yet released official details about the incident. According to MacLeod, the victim's grandson later confirmed his grandfather suffered significant injuries and remains in recovery. Wildlife experts note that bull bison become especially aggressive during the annual breeding season, known as the rut, which runs from June through September. While many Yellowstone wildlife encounters involve visitors getting too close to animals, MacLeod said this incident appeared different, with those involved keeping what is generally considered a safe distance before the unexpected attack. The incident is the second reported bison-related injury in Yellowstone this year and serves as another reminder that wild animals can behave unpredictably, even when visitors follow recommended safety guidelines. Reference: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/07/11/tourist-seriously-injured-after-yellowstone-bison-launches-man-8-feet-in-the-air/ Black Bear Tears Into Camp in Wyoming, But Two Women Escape Unharmed Two women are counting themselves lucky after a frightening overnight encounter with a black bear in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. Maggie Bassett and Shonna Dehl were camping when they say a black bear ripped into their tent, apparently determined to get inside. The pair yelled, screamed, and even fired warning shots, but they say the bear kept returning. After several tense minutes, the bear finally left long enough for the women to reach their vehicle. They stayed inside, honking the horn for hours before driving to a nearby family cabin. Neither woman was injured, but when they returned later, they found their campsite and tents badly damaged. The women say they had taken recommended bear precautions, including storing food properly and keeping nothing edible inside their tents. Wildlife experts believe the bear may have been "food-conditioned," meaning it had previously learned to associate campsites and people with food. Bears that lose their natural fear of humans are more likely to approach camps and create dangerous situations. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has been notified and plans to trap and relocate the bear. The incident is a reminder that even when campers do everything right, wildlife can still behave unpredictably. If you're spending time in bear country this summer, experts recommend securing food, carrying bear spray, staying alert for signs of bears, and giving wildlife plenty of space. Preparation can't eliminate every risk, but it can greatly improve your chances of staying safe.

Officers' row (ruins), looking west, before the National Park Service acquired Fort Davis National Historic Site. The Frontier Forts: Guarding West Texas Hello friends, and welcome back to Hidden History of Texas. Last time, we crossed the Pecos River and entered one of the most remarkable landscapes in our state, the Trans-Pecos. We discovered a Texas of mountains instead of rolling hills... deserts instead of forests... vast distances instead of crowded settlements. It is a beautiful country. But it could also be a dangerous one. Today, I'd like to answer a simple question. How did people safely travel through this immense wilderness? The answer lies in a network of frontier forts that stretched across West Texas. Their purpose wasn't to conquer the land. It was to connect it. When we hear the word fort, many of us picture thick stone walls, cannons, and soldiers preparing for battle. The reality on the Texas frontier was often much different. Most frontier forts weren't castles. They were working communities. Soldiers lived there. Families lived there. Blacksmiths, teamsters, doctors, cooks, laundresses, merchants, scouts, and civilians all played a role in keeping these isolated outposts alive. In many ways, a frontier fort was less like a military base and more like a very small town whose primary mission happened to be protecting the frontier. By the 1850s, more settlers, ranchers, and merchants were moving westward. Stagecoaches carried passengers and mail. Freight wagons hauled supplies. Ranches expanded into new country. Yet the farther west people traveled, the farther they moved from established communities. Water became scarce. Distances became immense. Travelers could spend days crossing country where there were few signs of civilization. For many, reaching the next fort meant safety. Among the most important of these posts was Fort Davis. Nestled in the cool elevations of the Davis Mountains, the fort occupied one of the most strategic locations in West Texas. It guarded the San Antonio–El Paso Road, one of the principal overland routes across the Southwest. If you've ever driven Interstate 10 across West Texas, you're following a path not terribly different from the one travelers depended upon more than 150 years ago. The landscape may look timeless. But for generations, this road represented connection. Mail. Commerce. Communication. Hope. Fort Davis also tells another important story. Following the Civil War, many of its soldiers belonged to the African American regiments that history remembers as the Buffalo Soldiers. These men escorted wagon trains... protected mail coaches... constructed roads... and patrolled enormous stretches of difficult country. Their assignments often took them across hundreds of miles of mountains and desert. The work was demanding. The conditions harsh. Yet their contributions became an essential part of opening West Texas to settlement and commerce. Today, Fort Davis remains one of the best-preserved frontier military posts in the nation, allowing visitors to walk through the very buildings where these soldiers lived and served. Farther east stood another important outpost. Fort Stockton. If Fort Davis owed its existence to mountain passes and transportation routes... Fort Stockton owed its existence to something even more valuable. Water. Specifically, Comanche Springs. Long before there was a military fort... long before Texas became a state... Native peoples knew these springs well. Spanish explorers depended upon them. Travelers crossing the desert planned their journeys around them. In the Trans-Pecos, water wasn't simply convenient. It was survival. The Army recognized the importance of Comanche Springs almost immediately. A fort built near reliable water could protect travelers while providing soldiers with the resources they needed to remain in one of the harshest environments in North America. Like Fort Davis, Fort Stockton became an important stopping point for stagecoaches, freight wagons, mail carriers, and settlers moving across West Texas. It represented more than military protection. It represented certainty. After days of dust, heat, and uncertainty, travelers knew there would be fresh water ahead. One thing I've come to appreciate while studying these frontier forts is that they weren't isolated places. They formed a network. Each supported the others. Each protected a different section of the transportation routes that connected San Antonio with El Paso and points beyond. Without that network, settlement across much of West Texas would have been far slower and far more dangerous. The forts helped make the frontier accessible. Not easy... but possible. Today, many visitors stop at Fort Davis or Fort Stockton because they enjoy history. Others simply happen to pass through on their way to Big Bend or El Paso. Yet these quiet places remind us of something important. The highways we drive today didn't simply appear. Long before there were interstates... before paved roads... before automobiles... there were wagon trails. Mail routes. Stagecoaches. Horse patrols. And frontier forts that made those journeys possible. As I travel through West Texas, I'm always struck by the silence. The distances remain enormous. The mountains still dominate the horizon. The desert still commands your respect. It's not difficult to imagine a soldier standing watch here 150 years ago, looking out across the same landscape and understanding that help was many miles away. Perhaps that's why these forts continue to capture our imagination. They remind us that courage isn't always found in dramatic battles. Sometimes courage is found in showing up each day... doing your duty... and standing watch in a place where few others were willing to go. Next time, we'll leave the forts behind and visit the communities that grew around them. We'll travel to Alpine, where the cool mountain air helped shape a ranching community that would become the gateway to the Big Bend. Until then, remember that history isn't only written in great cities or famous battlefields. Sometimes it's written beside a mountain pass... or around a spring in the desert... where ordinary people quietly made extraordinary journeys possible. I'm Hank Wilson, and this has been Hidden History of Texas. Until next time... keep asking questions... because history always has another story waiting just down the trail.

Join us on Patreon, listen to zero ads always, and support this show! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThe Great Smoky Mountains have been hiding one of America's biggest secrets for over 50 years.On June 14, 1969, six-year-old Dennis Martin vanished from a Father's Day camping trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in broad daylight, within five minutes, surrounded by family. What followed became the largest search in the park's history: 1,400 searchers, the National Guard, and even Green Berets pulled from Fort Bragg, all turning up nothing. No shoe. No shirt. No trace.In this episode, Madison and Chris break down the Dennis Martin disappearance: the eerie storm that washed out the trails right after he went missing, the temperature drop that made no sense for June, the child-size footprints that led to a stream and disappeared, the psychic tips the National Park Service took seriously enough to document, and a sawmill blade tied back to Dennis's own family found decades later. They dig into the three leading theories, exposure, animal attack, and abduction, and the Appalachian folklore that's followed this case for over 50 years: wild men in the deep woods, and of course, Spearfinger.Then, stick around for a ghost mail from Amy, a semi-truck driver from outside Topeka, Kansas, and her cat and road companion, Milo. What Amy and Milo saw and heard late one night in their 100-year-old limestone farmhouse will leave you wondering what was really in the room with them.
When her father accepted a position with the National Park Service, the family moved into a historic home deep in the Pennsylvania woods. It was quiet, beautiful, and seemed like the perfect place to live.Before long, she found herself waking to the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom. She never questioned them. Surely it was one of her parents or her younger brother heading to the bathroom.Then, over time, other family members began reporting strange experiences of their own.None of them claimed the house was haunted. But for the first time, she found herself asking a question she'd never considered before: What if those footsteps hadn't belonged to her family after all?#HauntedHouse #HistoricHome #GhostFootsteps #Paranormal #RealGhostStories #NationalPark #HauntedHistory #GhostStory #UnexplainedMysteries #PhantomFootsteps #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #Supernatural #HauntedHallway #PennsylvaniaGhostsLove real ghost stories?

Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells went to Horn Island, Mississippi, for the Fourth of July with a group of friends. He never made it home. He was last seen talking to a girl on the north end of the island around three in the afternoon. His friends' boat left the island an hour and a half later — without him. The explanation on record is that the boat was taking on water, which is the detail that keeps getting picked apart online and in this episode. Boats near shore, on a holiday weekend, with patrols on the water and life jackets required — leaving someone behind for that reason is not the obvious call it's being presented as. Two days later, following a search by the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County authorities, a park ranger found Nolan's body almost exactly where he'd last been seen. Reports say alcohol and drugs have been ruled out. His friend group has remained close to his mother throughout. And there's one more detail that matters — Nolan left his phone with her before he ever set foot on that island, which says plenty about the kind of son he was. His family has since hired a civil rights attorney, and the questions haven't stopped: about the boat, about who made the call to leave, about whether the story investigators have on record actually adds up. We lay out the full timeline and the pieces still missing from it. New episode is up now — link below.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nolan Wells' story starts the way too many of these do — a group of friends, an island, a holiday weekend, and one kid who never made it back to the boat. He was eighteen. He was talking to a girl on the north end of Horn Island, off the Mississippi coast, around three in the afternoon. That's the last time anyone saw him alive. His friends left an hour and a half later. He wasn't with them. The reason on record is that the boat was taking on water — not exactly a detail that holds up when you think through what leaving someone behind on an island actually requires people to decide, in real time, to do. By Monday morning, after two days of searching by the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County, a park ranger found him in the water — almost exactly where he'd last been seen. Investigators have reportedly ruled out alcohol and drugs. His friend group has stayed near his mother through all of it. And before he ever stepped foot on that boat, Nolan left his phone with her — a small fact that tells you more about who he was than any headline will. Now his family has a civil rights attorney involved, and the questions aren't going away — about the boat, about the timeline, about why one teenager was the one left standing on that shoreline. We go through what's confirmed, what's still unexplained, and where the account from that friend group starts to strain under basic scrutiny. Full episode is up now — link below.

An eighteen-year-old named Nolan Wells went out to Horn Island for the Fourth of July and didn't come home. He was seen talking to a girl on the island's north end around three that afternoon. When his friends' boat left an hour and a half later, he was still on shore. The official reason his friends gave investigators was that the boat was taking on water. Sit with that for a second — a group decides the safest move is to leave one person behind on an island, alone, rather than make a slower trip back together. That's the piece of this story that doesn't sit right, and it's where we start digging. A two-day search involving the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County ended when a park ranger recovered his body Monday morning, almost exactly where he was last seen. Alcohol and drugs have reportedly been ruled out. His friends have stayed by his mother's side since. And Nolan had left his cell phone with her before he ever got in that boat — the kind of detail that tells you exactly what kind of relationship they had. His family has now brought in a civil rights attorney, and there are real questions on the table: about the boat, about the decision to leave him, about whether the explanation investigators have given actually holds up. We break down the timeline hour by hour, and we're asking the questions the official account hasn't answered yet. Catch the full conversation now — link in the description.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation from the Aspen Ideas Festival in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the formation of the United States of America. The program called "America in Her Own Words" was organized by Theater of War Productions, which was honored to return to the Aspen Ideas Festival last week to present this year's closing session to help celebrate and interrogate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Actors David Strathairn (Goodnight and Good Luck, Lincoln), Michael Potts (The Wire, True Detective), and Kathleen Chalfant (Familiar Touch, The Affair) performed excerpts from Fourth of July speeches by Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Susan B. Anthony to catalyze a guided audience discussion about how reckoning and repair are fundamental to the promise and process of American democracy. The texts included sections from “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” delivered by Frederick Douglass at an Independence Day celebration in Rochester, New York on July 5, 1852; “The Electric Cord Speech” delivered by Abraham Lincoln from the balcony of Tremont House in Chicago, Illinois on July 10, 1858; and the “Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States” written by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony and read by Anthony on July 4, 1876 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia during the Centennial Celebration. Following the readings, thoughts were shared by panelists Abayomi Lewis (Singer; Poet; “American Idol” Contestant), Chuck Sams (Director, Indigenous Programs, Yale Center for Environmental Justice; Former Director, U.S. National Park Service), and Jeh Johnson (Former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security; Chair, Board of Trustees, Columbia University). They candidly responded to these speeches and kicked off a powerful discussion with the audience. Watch the full performance at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Witiu_NzpYs Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org
Floyd Collins had a dream. He dreamt that one day, he'd emerge victorious in the Kentucky Cave Wars. In that era, people made easy money turning beautiful, awe-inspiring caves into tourist destinations. The tough part was *finding* the cave. Finding a cave took months of dangerous, exhausting work, but Floyd Collins was up to the task. In January of 1925, he felt certain that he was digging his way toward a magnificent one. Then he got stuck. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Collins, Homer, and John Lehrberger. The Life and Death of Floyd Collins.

From cruise line bans to drone regulations, learn how breaking travel rules can have lasting consequences. Discover why 16 cruise passengers were banned and what every drone owner should know before flying. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Cruise Vacations Can End with a Lifetime Ban Cruise Chaos Ends with Lifetime Consequences for 16 Passengers What began as the end of a relaxing cruise turned into a chaotic scene at the Port of Miami after two families became involved in a large fight while leaving the Carnival Conquest. Video of the incident quickly spread online, showing passengers exchanging punches as shocked travelers looked on and law enforcement rushed in to restore order. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the incident was considered a "mutual combat" situation, and no one involved chose to press charges. Even without criminal charges, Carnival Cruise Line took swift action, permanently banning 16 passengers from sailing with the company in the future. Carnival praised law enforcement for responding quickly and reiterated that violent or disruptive behavior has no place on its cruises. The incident serves as a reminder that actions taken both onboard and in cruise terminals can have lasting consequences long after a vacation ends. Reference: https://people.com/16-cruise-passengers-put-on-do-not-sail-list-after-massive-brawl-breaks-out-12005733? Can You Be Placed on a Cruise Line's "Do Not Sail" List? Many travelers don't realize cruise lines maintain their own internal "Do Not Sail" lists. Unlike the airline industry's government-managed No-Fly List, cruise companies independently decide who may be denied future bookings. Being placed on one can happen immediately following a serious incident—and in some cases, passengers don't find out until they attempt to book another cruise. Why Cruise Lines Ban Passengers Cruise vacations are designed to be safe, family-friendly experiences for thousands of guests living together in close quarters. Because of that, cruise lines enforce strict codes of conduct. Common reasons passengers find themselves permanently banned include: Physical fights or assaults onboard or in cruise terminals Threatening crew members or fellow passengers Severe intoxication leading to dangerous behavior Bringing illegal drugs or prohibited weapons onboard Damaging ship property Repeated violations of ship rules Filing fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks after completing a cruise Even if local police do not file charges, cruise lines can still determine that a passenger violated company policy and prohibit future travel. No Criminal Charges Doesn't Mean No Consequences The Miami incident highlights an important distinction. Law enforcement determined the fight was a mutual combat situation, and none of the participants wanted to pursue criminal charges. However, Carnival still exercised its right as a private company to deny future service. Just as restaurants, hotels, airlines, and sporting venues may refuse service after violent incidents, cruise companies reserve the same authority through the passenger ticket contract every guest agrees to before boarding. Is There One Universal Cruise Blacklist? Not exactly. Unlike the federal No-Fly List used by airlines, there is no single worldwide "No Sail List" shared across every cruise company. However, several major cruise brands operate under the same corporate ownership. In serious cases involving violence, illegal activity, or significant financial losses, passenger information may be shared among affiliated cruise lines, potentially affecting future bookings across multiple brands. Know the Rules Before Flying Your Private Drone! Travel Smarter by Knowing the Rules Before You Go Flying drones in U.S. National Parks is strictly prohibited. The National Park Service enforces a federal ban on launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft on all lands and waters it administers. [1, 2] However, rules at State Parks vary widely depending on the specific location and state. National Parks: The ban applies to all U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites to protect wildlife, preserve natural quiet, and ensure visitor safety. Violating this rule can result in up to 6 months in jail and fines of up to $5,000. [1, 2, 3] State by State: State-level rules differ dramatically. Some states ban drones entirely, others allow them only in specifically designated areas, and a few require you to apply and pay for a recreational or commercial permit in advance. Federal Airspace: Manned or permitted flights require checking FAA regulations, including passing the TRUST test and using airspace applications.

David Waldman has got his holiday planned out, but what are you doing for the Fourth of July? Traditionally, you might choose to rebel against a tyrant. Some also may reflect upon God's providence, as the ultimate source of liberty, this year more than ever. After all, He is not just pro-freedom, but very much against rampant corruption amongst a nation's leaders. The Great American State Fair's main exhibit Is Trump corruption, There are however billions of other examples. So many, that Donald K. Trump's handing out souvenirs to his friends and relatives. It's not real corruption unless you can cruise around in a pimped out 747, though. Karoline Leavitt got to ride back in the "library" with all of the "books" that Trump plans to "read" when he "retires". The Trump DOJ waited until only hours remained in their deadline to announce that they would not release any more Epstein files, because it's more fun to do it that way. The Trump DOJ experienced "a rapid unexpected disassembly", accidently releasing volume II of Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago report to the person they are suing for stealing volume I. A Venezuelan man was accused of attempting to choke an ICE officer to death. As usual, authorities did not anticipate the truth tripping them up, almost as if lying is routine procedure… The National Park Service is no longer required to post truthful signage at National Park sites. Olympian canoeist David Hearn has been indicted for vandalizing the DC reflecting pool because directly contradicting Trump lies is a federal crime.
