Nestled at the edge of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, India, the ruins of Bhangarh Fort have earned a reputation so chilling that visitors are legally forbidden from entering after sunset. Declared one of the most haunted locations in the world, this 17th-century fort is wrapped in legends of curses, obsession, and restless spirits.In this episode of Lurk, we explore the rise and fall of Bhangarh Fort—from its royal origins under the Kachwaha dynasty to the eerie silence that now blankets its temples, palaces, and marketplaces. Locals whisper of shadowy figures, disembodied screams, sudden drops in temperature, and an overwhelming sense of dread felt by those who linger too long.At the heart of the haunting are two enduring legends: • A powerful curse laid by a holy ascetic after his land was violated • A sorcerer whose obsession with a princess may have doomed an entire cityWe'll examine how these stories intertwine with historical records, why the Archaeological Survey of India enforces strict nighttime bans, and what modern investigators and visitors claim to have experienced among the ruins.Is Bhangarh Fort truly cursed—or is fear itself the most powerful force haunting its walls?Press play, and step carefully.

Gyatso, a local entrepreneur, felt immense pride when his village was named "Best Tourism Villages" by the United Nations World Tourism Organization in October. The dramatic boost to his homestay business as a result of the designation was an unexpected but welcome bonus.当家乡村庄在10月被联合国世界旅游组织评为“最佳旅游乡村”时，当地企业家嘉措感到无比自豪。这一殊荣为他的民宿生意带来了意想不到的巨大增长，堪称意外之喜。"Guest numbers surged so much that I had to hire several fellow villagers to help run the business,"Gyatso said.嘉措说道：“游客数量激增，我不得不雇佣几位村民帮忙经营生意。”Nestled on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, Jikayi village in Danba county, Sichuan province, is a living museum of Gyalrong Tibetan culture. The Gyalrong Tibetans, an indigenous ethnic group who primarily live in western Sichuan, are known for their stone architecture and rich cultural heritage.位于青藏高原东南边缘海拔约2000米处的四川省甘孜藏族自治州丹巴县基卡依村，是格鲁藏族文化的活态博物馆。格鲁藏族作为主要聚居于四川西部的土著民族，以其独特的石构建筑和深厚的文化底蕴闻名于世。Covering 5.95 square kilometers, the village is home to 92 households and 408 residents. Despite its small size, it serves as a "cultural gene bank" for the Gyalrong Tibetans, preserving a wide range of intangible cultural heritage.基卡依村占地5.95平方公里，共有92户408名居民。虽面积不大，却是嘉绒藏族的“文化基因库”，保存着丰富的非物质文化遗产。These include national-level Tibetan watchtower construction techniques and western Sichuan Tibetan folk songs, as well as provincial-level traditions such as Tibetan liquor brewing, coming-of-age ceremonies and the Danba Guozhuang dance.这些非物质文化遗产包括国家级藏族瞭望塔建造技艺和西川藏族民歌，以及省级传承项目如藏族酿酒技艺、成人礼和丹巴郭庄舞。"Before tourism took off, life in our village was not affluent despite the fertile land," said Kelsang, the village's Communist Party of China secretary. "Household income mainly depended on women selling plums, Sichuan peppercorns and other farm products at markets, while most men worked away from home to support their families."村里的中国共产党支部书记凯桑说：“旅游业兴起之前，我们村的生活并不富裕，尽管土地肥沃；家庭收入主要依靠妇女在集市上卖李子、花椒等农产品，而大多数男人则在外打工养家。”The turning point came in 2007 when villagers began opening homestays. The trend accelerated after China proposed its rural vitalization strategy in 2017.转折点出现在2007年，当时村民开始经营民宿。2017年中国提出乡村振兴战略后，这一趋势加速发展。"Infrastructure improved significantly, attracting more tourists and encouraging villagers to run homestays and start livestreaming," Kelsang said, adding that many university graduates have also returned to start businesses.凯桑表示：“基础设施得到显著改善，吸引了更多游客，并鼓励村民经营民宿和开展直播业务。”并补充说许多大学毕业生也已返乡创业。Dekyi Tso, 30, is among these entrepreneurs. After graduating from a university in Chengdu about a decade ago, she returned to Jikayi and spent three years building a homestay that blends traditional Tibetan architecture with modern amenities.30岁的德吉措正是这些创业者中的一员。约十年前从成都某大学毕业后，她回到基卡依村，耗时三年打造了一处融合藏族传统建筑与现代设施的民宿。Since opening in March 2020, the 21-room homestay has recorded steady year-on-year growth in guest numbers. Last year, it hosted 15,000 tourists. "In the past, it was difficult to keep young people in the village. Now they can find jobs right at their doorstep," said Dekyi Tso, whose business has created employment for more than 20 local residents.自2020年3月开业以来，这家拥有21间客房的民宿接待量逐年稳步增长。去年接待游客达1.5万人次。德吉措说：“过去年轻人很难留在村里，现在他们在家门口就能找到工作。”她的民宿已为当地20多名居民创造了就业机会。She said rising incomes have been accompanied by growing confidence in ethnic culture, with more villagers voluntarily wearing traditional attire and performing ethnic songs, dances and handicrafts.她说，随着收入的增长，村民对民族文化的信心日益增强，越来越多村民自发穿着传统服饰，表演民族歌舞，制作民族手工艺品。"The UNWTO recognition is a huge encouragement for us," she said. "We believe more tourists and investment will come, making our village even better."她表示：“联合国世界旅游组织给予的认可对我们而言是巨大的鼓舞；我们相信将有更多游客和投资涌入，让我们的村庄变得更美好。”Kelsang said the key to Jikayi's tourism success lies in integrating traditional culture into development. "Houses and ancient watchtowers have retained their traditional appearance, while cultural practices such as coming-of-age ceremonies, Guozhuang dance and mountain songs have been well preserved," he said.克桑表示，基卡依村旅游业成功的关键在于将传统文化融入发展进程。他说道：“房屋和古瞭望塔保留了传统风貌，成年礼、郭庄舞、山歌等文化习俗也得到了良好传承。”More than 90 percent of households now participate in the tourism industry, with 74 families operating homestays. The village's per capita disposable income reached 41,000 yuan ($5,900) last year, up more than 20 percent year-on-year, Kelsang said. "Life is becoming more promising for everyone, and our hearts are filled with hope."目前全村90%以上的家庭参与旅游业经营，其中74户开展民宿接待。村委会主任凯桑介绍，去年全村人均可支配收入达到4.1万元（约合5900美元），同比增长20%以上。“大家的生活越来越有希望，我们心里都充满了期待”。Building on Jikayi's success, the county government has launched a comprehensive plan to develop a tourism zone centered on the village and extending to four neighboring villages. The plan includes a smart tourism platform with multilingual guides and online booking services, ecosystem diversity study programs, nighttime economy projects, and a Tibetan watchtower construction skills training center, local authorities said.在基卡依村取得成功的基础上，县政府启动了一项综合规划，旨在以该村为核心，辐射周边四个村庄，打造旅游区。据当地政府透露，该计划包含多语种导览与在线预订服务的智能旅游平台、生态系统多样性研究项目、夜间经济项目，以及一座藏式瞭望塔建造技艺培训中心。homestay/ˈhoʊm.steɪ/民宿

Nestled between Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria, Benin is a rich sliver of West Africa too often overlooked.

Text: Matthew 18:15-35Forgiveness can be very difficult and something we may not want to do, yet Scripture presents it as a central mark of life in Christ. In this Sunday's sermon passage, we will consider Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant and examine how withholding forgiveness places us in a prison of our own making, while releasing others entrusts justice to God. Nestled within this warning is a gracious invitation: those who have been forgiven much are called to walk in the freedom Christ has secured for them.

In this episode of On the Road with Paul Ward, Paul visits the remote desert outpost of Goat Mountain Recording, home to musicians and audio engineers Pat and Susan Kearns. Nestled on five acres in Landers near Joshua Tree, the Kearns family has created a purpose-built recording studio unlike anything else in Southern California — complete with zero 90-degree corners, custom architectural design, and a quiet desert backdrop that shapes their sound. Pat and Susan share how they built this dream studio from the ground up, how gentrification pushed them out of Portland, and how they transformed their move to the desert into a thriving creative hub. From recording and mixing to mastering and audio restoration, Pat's decades of experience merge with Susan's artistry, musicianship, painting, and their shared love of “Western Folk,” the unique genre they've coined to describe their sound. We dive into their latest album Together and Alone, their songwriting process (including how melodies often “bubble up from the subconscious”), the stories behind standout tracks like “Charlie,” and the inspiration they draw from the desert's solitude, landscapes, and creative community. Pat also reveals what it's like hosting the Z107.7 Local Music Showcase, highlighting and connecting musicians across Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Wonder Valley, and beyond. And Susan gives us a peek into her visual art practice, including her participation in the annual Highway 62 Open Studio Art Tours, her expressionist desert pieces, and the lively fusion of art and music that happens when musicians join her shows. Whether you love music creation, desert culture, or behind-the-scenes creative life, this episode paints a vibrant picture of two artists building something extraordinary together.

On the 7th Nightmare Before Christmas... Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is the kind of place that sells serenity. Nestled in the lush green folds of the state's northern panhandle, its glittering lakes and cozy resorts draw tourists each summer, while locals call it the Lake City. It's a place where doors stay unlocked, where evenings hum with crickets, and where danger feels far away. Eight miles east of town, near the Wolf Lodge campground, a small, weathered house sat back from the road—nearly hidden by the trees. In 2005, it was home to 37-year-old Mark McKenzie, his girlfriend, 40-year-old Brenda Groene, and Brenda's three children: 13-year-old Slade, 9-year-old Dylan, and 8-year-old Shasta. The family lived their days filled with school, work, and play. Their back door was almost always unlocked. But on the night of May 15, 2005, that small gesture of safety and comfort would be the very thing that destroyed them. That night, a man named Joseph Edward Duncan, 42, slipped through the open back door. He was dressed in dark clothing, wearing black leather gloves, and carrying a shotgun. Along with the gun, he brought duct tape, zip ties, and a claw hammer. The family was asleep. Duncan knew they would be. He had been watching them for days. He'd first noticed Dylan and Shasta playing outside in their swimsuits—laughing, carefree, the way children should be. Something in his twisted mind fixated on that moment. In the quiet town of Coeur d'Alene, a single open door had invited a nightmare that would leave five lives shattered—and shadows that would never lift.

Raul and Caroline warmly welcome guests to Rancho La Bellota, their 2,800-acre guest ranch located in Tecate, Baja, California. Nestled in a valley of mature oak trees, thirty minutes on a dirt road from the Ruta de Vino, Rancho La Bellota is located very close to the border but feels so very far away. Since my first visit in 2022, Rancho La Bellota has become my second home—and my first stop in Baja. Every Slow Baja Adventure begins here. Honestly, I usually linger a day or two after each trip, recharging and resetting before heading home.There's no cell service at the ranch, and the wifi—available discreetly at the Starlink cabin—is easy to forget. Guests quickly fall into the rhythms of ranch life: coffee is ready at 6:30 AM, and after enjoying a cup on the porch, everyone gathers in the sun-washed dining room for a hearty breakfast.After breakfast, it's time to ride. The ranch's horses, all retired from working cattle, are thoughtfully matched to each rider's ability and experience—Raul deftly distributes them with the practiced hand of a Vegas dealer. At lunch, longtime guests playfully debate who drew the best mount and scheme to claim that horse on their next visit.After lunch, a siesta beckons, followed by perhaps another ride or a friendly round of horseshoes. As dusk settles, the candlelit dining room fills with laughter and lively conversation. Raul presides over the table, sparking gentle debates about the news of the day. Later, we retreat to the bar, and Raul pours and imparts his tequila knowledge. The evening winds down by the campfire—bedtime comes early at 9 PM, affectionately called “Baja Midnight.”Raul is a passionate overlander, piloting a custom pop-top 1969 Chevrolet Suburban he designed himself. He frequently welcomes fellow overlanders journeying along the Baja Peninsula, though he gently reminds guests that Rancho La Bellota isn't a free campground. As a proud Baja California native, Raul enthusiastically shares his wisdom and stories, helping travelers get the most out of their Pan-American Highway adventure.Rancho La Bellota is Slow Baja Approved!Book your stay at Rancho La Bellota here.Follow Rancho La Bellota on Facebook.Listen to the 2022 Slow Baja Podcast here.Support the Slow Baja Podcast here.Buy Baja Bound Insurance here.

Hey GIGI kids, Today we have a great story for you called "The Case of the Missing Manger." A story reminding us that Christmas is about Jesus and not the material things. Here's a sneak peek.... Sunnyhill Primary was buzzing with excitement. The scent of crayons, pine decorations, and fresh photocopy paper filled the Year 2 classroom. It was one week before Christmas, and that meant only one thing: The Christmas Assembly was nearly here! "Alright, everyone," said Mrs Lane, clapping her hands. "Time to unpack the nativity props!" Cheers filled the air. Rosie bounced on her toes. "I hope the angel wings are back!" Elijah grinned. "I just hope the shepherd costumes don't itch this year." Hannah, holding her script, smiled proudly. "Well, I'm Mary. So I get to rock the baby Jesus!" Mrs Lane gently opened a large storage box and carefully unwrapped a small, hand-carved wooden manger. Nestled inside was a cloth-wrapped baby Jesus figure with painted eyes and a peaceful smile. "This," she said, holding it up, "is the most important part of our nativity." The class grew quiet. Even Luca stopped fidgeting. Mrs Lane placed the manger gently on a small table at the front of the classroom. Around it, they arranged tiny cardboard animals, some straw, and wooden figures of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. "We decorate, we sing, we wear costumes," said Mrs Lane, "but remember—Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Not lights or lollies or tinsel—Jesus." Rosie felt a warm, special feeling in her chest. She looked at the tiny baby and whispered, "You're the whole reason we're doing this." The children spent the rest of the afternoon rehearsing. Hannah practiced rocking a pretend baby, Elijah worked on his shepherd lines, and Rosie read her narration into the microphone. But as the sun dipped behind the schoolyard trees and the last bell rang, none of them knew what was coming. The manger would be gone by morning. And the Christmas mystery… would begin. What happened next? To find out, find a comfortable spot and listen to the episode. _____________________________________________________ Story by: Esther & Steph  READ STORY ON THE BLOG VISIT OUR WEBSITE SHOP OUR BOOKS   Shop our audiobooks Special effect editing: James Wagner  Music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: stories4gigi@gmail.com Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Mike McCormick, Vice President of Facilities Management and Development at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, David Hart, President and CEO of Steinberg Hart, and Roger Krulak, Founder and President of FullStack Modular. They discuss the Student Housing Program at CalPoly located in San Luis Obispo, CA. You can see the project here as you listen along.California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo is confronting a challenge shared by many growing institutions in California: a rapidly rising student population paired with an increasingly constrained local housing market. Nestled in a highly desirable coastal town, the university has limited ability to expand enrollment without adding thousands of new beds on campus—an imperative driven not just by institutional goals, but by the simple fact that the surrounding city cannot absorb additional demand. In response, Cal Poly has launched one of the most ambitious student housing initiatives in the state, a program that will deliver 4,200 new beds through a landmark collaboration with FullStack Modular. The effort aims to redefine how campus housing is designed and built, relying on an industrialized construction strategy that promises speed, quality, and long-term affordability.If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

Tucked into the walls of a 326-meter-deep sinkhole in Hechi city, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, a one-of-a-kind cliffside bookstore has captured global attention — blending dramatic natural surroundings with an unparalleled reading experience.坐落于广西河池市一处深达326米的天坑崖壁之上，一家独一无二的“悬崖书店”凭借壮丽自然景观与别具一格的阅读体验，吸引了全球目光。Nestled within the Mianhua Sinkhole Scenic Area in Luocheng Mulam autonomous county, the bookstore opened its doors in May and quickly emerged as a new landmark for culture-tourism integration. To date, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from home and abroad.这家书店位于罗城仫佬族自治县棉花天坑景区内，于今年5月正式开放，并迅速成为文旅融合的新地标。截至目前，已接待海内外游客逾10万人次。Once just a geological marvel, the 326-meter-deep Mianhua Sinkhole transforms at dusk: lights flicker across cliff-hugging bookshelves, turning the space into a "treasury of wisdom" floating between sky and earth, seemingly whispering with the night stars.曾经只是地质奇观的棉花天坑，到了傍晚便焕然一新：灯光在贴崖而立的书架间跳动，将整个空间化为“悬于天地之间的知识宝库”，仿佛与夜空星辰低语。Reaching the bookstore is an adventure in itself. Guests must scale an over 1,000-step plank road carved into the cliff — a thrilling "mini expedition" before arriving at this spiritual retreat amid the heights.到达书店本身就是一场冒险。游客需沿着嵌入崖壁的千级栈道拾级而上——这段“迷你探险”之后，方能抵达这处高空中的精神栖息地。He Zhijian, founder of the bookstore, described the bookstore's construction as fraught with challenges.书店创始人何志坚表示，这一项目的建设困难重重。"The sinkhole's typical karst terrain features steep, unstable cliffs," he said. "We had to adopt special anchoring technology to ensure safety — this project was like performing acrobatics on a cliff."他说：“天坑属典型喀斯特地貌，悬崖陡峭且不稳定。为了安全，我们不得不采用特殊的锚固技术——整个工程就像在悬崖上‘走钢丝'。”Inspiration struck him two years ago during a visit to Japan's Tsutaya Bookstore, later refined with insights from Hangzhou's Tsutaya outlet.两年前，他在参观日本茑屋书店时受到启发，之后结合杭州茑屋书店的体验进一步构思。The result is an open-air cliffside space lined with over 10,000 books, forming a 10-meter-high, 150-meter-long "canyon of knowledge".最终呈现的是一个露天悬崖空间，陈列1万余册图书，构成高10米、长150米的“知识峡谷”。"A unique feature of this bookstore is: no matter how heavy the wind and rain, it never gets wet," He said. "The sinkhole acts as a natural shelter, shielding the bookstore perfectly from the elements."何志坚介绍：“这家书店最大的特点之一是：风雨再大也淋不到。天坑本身就是天然庇护所，能将恶劣天气完全挡在外面。”Wu Taichang, general manager of Guangxi Luocheng Mianhua Tiankeng Tourism Development Co, said the design breaks traditional bookstore boundaries, merging reading with the grandeur of karst landscapes.广西罗城棉花天坑旅游开发公司总经理吴泰昌表示，这一设计突破了传统书店的界限，将阅读与喀斯特壮观融为一体。Wu emphasized that the goal is to encourage visitors to do more than just admire the sinkhole's beauty and leave.吴泰昌强调，他们希望游客不仅是走马观花。"We want them to immerse themselves in its charm as much as possible," he said. "That's why we've built a cliffside bookstore, cafe, and hotel, along with plank roads leading straight to the sinkhole's bottom — letting tourists get up close to the 'heart of the Earth'."他说：“我们希望游客尽可能沉浸在天坑的魅力中。这就是为什么我们打造了悬崖书店、咖啡馆和酒店，并修建通往天坑底部的栈道——让游客走近‘地心'。”The scenic area also boasts a 600-square-meter sinkhole theater that hosts spectacular performances. This year marked the debut of the Sinkhole Music Festival, which drew rave reviews from attendees.景区内还有面积达600平方米的天坑剧场，定期上演精彩演出。今年首届天坑音乐节亮相，备受观众好评。Mianhua village, where the bookstore is located, was once isolated by mountains. Its high altitude and severe water scarcity made paddy cultivation impossible. Local villagers survived by growing corn and sweet potatoes to trade for grain.书店所在的棉花村曾因群山阻隔而交通闭塞，高海拔与严重缺水使稻作种植成为不可能。村民只能种玉米与红薯换取口粮。Change came in 2017, when Wu's company decided to develop the area.转机出现在2017年，吴泰昌所在公司决定开发这一地区。"We thought it a real pity that the county's stunning natural landscapes were hidden deep in the mountains, unknown to the world," Wu said. "That's why we developed the scenic spot that blends nature with culture — aiming to attract more visitors and, in turn, improve local residents' lives through tourism development."吴说：“我们觉得这么美的自然风景被埋在深山里太可惜了。所以我们打造了这个自然与文化相融合的景区，希望吸引更多游客，从而通过旅游发展改善当地居民的生活。”Beyond its appeal to travelers, the site has become an engine for growth across seven surrounding villages. It has attracted investments from these communities, with dividend payouts exceeding 4 million yuan ($570,000) to date — bolstering the villages' collective economic income.除了吸引游客，这一景区也带动了周边七个村庄的发展。这些村集体共同投资，目前分红已超过400万元，大幅提升集体经济收入。Of the company's 108 employees, over 90 are local residents, allowing villagers to secure stable employment without leaving their hometowns.在公司108名员工中，90多人是当地村民，使他们无需外出务工便能获得稳定就业。karst terrain喀斯特地貌plank road栈道unparalleled reading experience别具一格的阅读体验dividend payouts分红collective economic income集体经济收入

Have you ever begged God for something that mattered more than anything — and He didn't come through the way you hoped? That very thing happened to the great King David. After years of conquest, Israel was now unified and at peace. But, Israel was still worshiping Yahweh at a tent—the Tabernacle that had made the trek through the wilderness with God's people. Nestled in his cedar-lined palace, David—the man after God's own heart—began to dream. “The Lord has been so good to me, and He is such a great God. It isn't right that I should live in such splendor and luxury while God's presence is still relegated to a tent. God deserves better. I want to build Him a glorious temple!” Nathan, the prophet, heard David's dreams and could see that the king's motives were pure and his dreams noble. So, he immediately told David, “Sounds like a great idea. Go for it!” But what was God's response to David's dream? In a word, His answer was…no. He affirmed David for his desire to honor Him, but he would not be the one to build God a temple. God had a better plan in mind. And that leads us to our four main points: 1.    It's not wrong to dream great dreams and pray great prayers. 2.    Sometimes, though the dream is noble, it's not God's plan.3.    When God says “No” to our dreams, it's because He has better ones in mind.4.    When disappointed with God, the best response is thoughtful reflection and humble submission. How did David respond to God's “no”? The Bible says he “sat before the Lord and said, ‘Who am I, Sovereign Lord…” He paused to reflect on all the dreams that were fulfilled, the times God had answered prayer. And then he humbly submitted his dreams to the sovereignty of God. God's ways are not our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. When faced with the mystery of unanswered prayer, may we, like David, trust in the Sovereign Lord who is strong and loving and does all things well.   Text: 2 Samuel 7; 1 Chronicles 17Originally recorded on September 12, 2004, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Building hype for a new brewery project is one of the most difficult tasks in the game, but the champs behind Herman made it happen. Nestled in the Laurentians in Prévost, QC, Herman has cemented itself as a leading purveyor of crispies (primarily), haze, sours and farmhouse in the province. Co-Founders Fréd and John joined Cee to chat about their origin story, why they keep making gorgeous farmhouse ales in bottles, the labour split between the partners and why that works, their love of coffee, their approach to their beer, how they handle collaborations and why collabs helped put them on the map, their Ontario collabs, why they stick to short cans, their "new age vintage" brand and labels, where the name came from, and why they want to collab with Drake. They got into five killer Herman brews - Echo Lite Light Lager, Spund Kellerbier, Severni Světlý Ležák 12°, Pia IPA Néo-Zélandaise, and Periaca barrel-aged Farmhouse Ale with peaches and apricots. This was a gem - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Nestled on Main Street in Woodstock, Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery radiates the cozy, community-centric charm that so many small towns crave. During this Tourism Tuesday episode on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael, Shenandoah County Tourism's Kary Haun, and owner Kara Balcerzak dive into how a lifelong love of books—and a desire to combat modern loneliness—became one of the county's newest gathering places. A Dream Shelved—Then Finally Opened Kara, a self-described lifelong reader and third-generation librarian, relocated to Woodstock in 2019. Although she always fantasized about owning a bookstore, she didn't initially know how to launch a business. However, after participating in a local leadership program, she discovered a network of small-business support. Encouraged and equipped, she went for it. Her leap of faith resulted in Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery, which opened on June 6 and was immediately embraced by the local community. The location on Main Street, she says, has only added to its warm, inviting personality. More Than Books: A Store Built on Connection While Bonfire carries a beautifully curated selection of fiction, nonfiction, local history, and children's titles, it offers much more than traditional bookstore staples. Kara intentionally stocks puzzles, games, gifts, craft kits, and an impressive selection of yarn, all chosen with a shared mission: helping people rediscover offline joy and authentic connection. She explains that the lingering effects of COVID, paired with the omnipresence of social media, have made people lonelier than ever. "So many people want to get off their phones and do something with their hands," she notes. Yarn enthusiasts, knitters, crocheters, and crafters visit regularly—and Kara even teaches classes in-store thanks to the building's generous space. Why Yarn Belongs in a Bookstore Yarn may seem like an unexpected addition to a bookstore, but Kara makes it feel natural. She has been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years, and she quickly discovered that readers and stitchers share similar "cozy hobby" energy. Moreover, diversifying her inventory helps the shop remain sustainable in an era dominated by online megaretailers. The yarn department has since become one of the store's most vibrant community-building features, complete with beginner classes launching again in January. A Community Space, Not Just a Retail Shop Walking into Bonfire feels less like visiting a shop and more like entering a living room. Plush chairs, a welcoming sofa, a whimsically decorated fireplace, and a children's reading nook encourage visitors to linger. Kara laughs as she recounts advice from a fellow bookstore owner who warned her against offering comfortable seating—"You don't want readers; you want buyers." But Kara had a different vision. In her mind, Woodstock needs more places for people to gather, chat, read, knit, drink tea, or simply exist without pressure to spend money. She even offers a self-serve hot beverage bar where less than two dollars for a cup of tea can also buy hours of community bonding. Holiday Happenings & Gift Ideas Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery shines especially bright during the holiday season. Kara shares several upcoming festive events: Story Time with Santa – December 20, 11 AM–12 PM Christmas Carol Sing-Along – December 21, 12:30–2 PM with local musician Angie Vann Stocking Stuffers, Local Artisan Gifts & Specialty Items – including gardening tools, planters, puzzles, locally curated reads, and yarn-lover favorites Gift Certificates Available Janet and Kary rave about the store's wide variety—everything from nonfiction to crossword books to local history, and even pizza-herb planters inspired by popular garden titles. Shopping Local in the Age of Online Giants While Bonfire doesn't yet sell merchandise directly through its website, Kara partners with Bookshop.org and Libro.fm, ensuring customers can order books and audiobooks online while still supporting an independent store. She can also special-order nearly any book in print and typically receives orders within a week to ten days. A Magical Setting for Conversation and Community As Janet and Kary continue their Tourism Tuesday tour, they settle deeper into Bonfire's cozy atmosphere—so much so that Janet jokes Kara may eventually need to kick them out. The store inspires nostalgia, curiosity, and warmth. With its children's wardrobe-themed reading nook, eclectic shelves, and handmade touches, Bonfire feels not just magical, but meaningful. It's the kind of place where time slows down, conversations come easily, and community naturally forms—exactly the vision Kara hoped for when she opened the doors. Where Stories—and Community—Come Alive Bonfire Bookstore succeeds not just because it sells books, puzzles, and yarn, but because it taps into something essential: the deep human need for connection. Kara built a place where neighbors meet, creativity flourishes, and people rediscover joy in unplugging—even for just an hour. In a world that often feels rushed and digital, Bonfire reminds us that the most magical spaces are the ones where people simply gather. A Hub for Holiday Spirit Throughout Shenandoah County After the bookstore conversation, the episode shifts to holiday happenings across the valley. Kary and Brittany Clem-Hott share a dazzling list of parades, tree lightings, markets, open houses, and theatrical productions—including Theatre Shenandoah's first-ever performance of "A Christmas Story." Meanwhile, listeners learn about dazzling new events like Christmas at the Celebration at American Celebration on Parade, multiple town-wide festive weekends, studio open houses, cookie crawls, drive-through light shows, and more.

Paste Magazine calls Hannah Frances's new album Nestled in Tangles one of "proggy, jazzy, natural abundance" that is "snared with familial trauma." She shares its story, explains its abundance, and plays live in our studio.

In 1996, the quiet Brazilian town of Varginha became the centre of one of the strangest UFO cases in modern history. Nestled amongst the hills of Minas Gerais, its residents reported encounters with a bizarre, non-human creature, an event that would draw global attention, military involvement, and decades of speculation. Was it all an elaborate hoax to put this small town on the map, or did something truly extraordinary unfold in what would come to be known as The Alien of Varginha?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Some homes have a presence so strong that time cannot erase it. The McPike Mansion is one of those homes. Nestled in Alton, Illinois, this historic house has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted mansions in America. Abandoned for years, the property fell into disrepair, yet its energy never faded. When Sharon, the current owner, took on the enormous task of restoring the estate, she quickly realized she was not alone. Whispers, shadows, and unseen presences revealed themselves to her as she poured her heart into bringing the mansion back to life. But Sharon does not see the spirits as intruders. Instead, she views them as residents who never left, caretakers of the past still tied to their beloved home. Paranormal investigators Don and Laney of Spectrewaves have stepped inside McPike Mansion and experienced the phenomena firsthand. From unexplained footsteps to intelligent interactions, the spirits here seem to linger with intent. But who are they? Former owners? Servants? Or entities that predate the mansion entirely? The mysteries of McPike Mansion continue to grow with every investigation. Some claim the activity is residual—echoes of moments replaying endlessly. Others believe the entities are very much aware, conscious spirits who still take part in the life of the home, refusing to be forgotten. This is Part Two of our conversation. #HauntedMansion #McPikeMansion #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #RealGhostStories #Spectrewaves #HauntedHistory #DarkHistory #ParanormalInvestigation #TheGraveTalks Love real ghost stories?
