In this episode, New Books Network host Nina Bo Wagner talks to Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling about his recently published book The Ghost Lab: How Bigfoot Hunters, Mediums, and Alien Enthusiasts Are Wrecking Science (PublicAffairs, 2025). They talk about the process of writing the book, including delving deep into the local paranomal community in New Hampshire. The book contrasts profound institutional distrust effecting higher education policy and scientific literacy, with a desperate grapple for community through paranormal beliefs. It portrays the Kitt Research Initiative, established in 2010, with the mission to use scientific method to document the existence of spirits. Founder Andy Kitt was unafraid — perhaps eager — to offend other paranormal investigators by exposing the fraudulence of their less advanced techniques. Kitt's efforts attracted flocks of psychics, alien abductees, witches, mediums, ghost hunters, UFOlogists, cryptozoologists and warlocks from all over New England, and the world. Hongoltz-Hetling brings our attention to the exponential growth of new age beliefs in the United States, with the potential to be the largest religion in the nation by 2050 at current rates. He argues that it is time for institutions in both science and policy to sit up, take notice, and engage with paranormal beliefs instead of marginalizing, or worse, ostracizing them. Wagner and Hongoltz-Hetling touch on mental health, domestic violence, satanic panic and capturing paranormal orbs. The conversation is sure to provide fascinating insight into unconventional and riveting science journalism. Learn more about your ad choices.

A 16th-century witch hunter believed each person is caught between a guardian angel and their own personal demon — one who knows their deepest habits and weaknesses — and he mapped out the seven princes of Hell who rule over humanity's sins.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: You might have heard someone say during a severe storm, “it's raining cats and dogs out there!” Of course, it wasn't really raining felines and Fidos. But there have been instances of it raining frogs and fish. But did you hear about the time when for two-weeks straight it rained rocks and stones? (Raining Rocks, Storming Stones) *** In the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” the ending… sorry, spoiler here, but it has been since 1977 so you have had plenty of time to see it… at the end of the film, the aliens drop off dozens of humans that they've abducted over the years, and then welcome a volunteer human to leave with them – like an extraterrestrial foreign exchange student program. It's a fascinating concept, an extremely well-written premise for the film… but could that actually happen? Better question… has it already happened? (The Zeta Reticuli and Project Serpo) *** It could be argued that while William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, was a real person in history – that his story is more legend than fact. But then, being a notorious outlaw, pretending to die, and convincing everyone you are dead – then living out the rest of your life until you were an old man… that does probably deserve the label of “legend'. Is that story the fact… or is it fiction? (The Billy The Kid Conspiracy) *** Stories of giant, winged predators in the sky streaking down and attacking children and even full-grown men have been around since… well… ever. Some don't believe it possible, but if you do a Google search for “man-eating bird” you'll quickly find out they were not only real – but alive not that long ago. Or, perhaps… still soaring the skies, looking for their next meal… especially in and around New England. (Man-Eating Thunderbirds of New England) *** We've all heard of guardian angels – the idea that each one of us has a personal, supernatural protector following us at all times, battling for our souls to keep us from spiritual harm, if not physical. But if that's true – could we also each have a personal demon as well? A being also battling for our souls to send us to hell? One famous witch hunter believed exactly that.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio and joined remotely by Trojan second year defensive lineman Elijah Newby who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Cheshire Academy in Connecticut. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-6, 232 pound linebacker turned defensive end out of New England had a lengthy interview with our hosts, talking about the recruiting process that brought him 3,000 miles away from home to Southern California, making the switch from linebacker to the defensive line, getting some action last season including the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M and his growth at his new position this spring. USC certainly needed some help along the defensive front in an attempt to generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Moving Newby from linebacker to pass rusher was likely the most impactful move the Trojans made this off-season, giving more depth and speed to the defensive front. The interview with Newby was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Growing up emersed in his mother's French-Canadian family, Joseph enjoyed hearing the stories told by his grandparents and great aunts of a mysterious and magical place called Québec, otherwise known as “the place we came from.”After high school, Joseph's adventurous nature led him to enlist in the U.S. Army and he served in the Army's airborne forces as a paratrooper jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, much to the worry of his mother.Since he retired from the Army, Joseph has worked in various project manager roles as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force.

He lives with his wife in Massachusetts, and, in his free time, enjoys hiking and skiing through Québec and New England landscapes. His favorite places to go for outdoor adventure are the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts and Mont-Orford in Québec. When he is not writing, hiking, or skiing, Joseph enjoys reading about science, history, philosophy, mathematics, and worldwide mythologies.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! New England's quiet villages and rocky coastlines hide centuries-old secrets—some benign, others downright bone-chilling. In this episode, veteran storyteller and researcher Jeff Belanger guides us through the region's strangest folklore: a shadowy “Pukwudgie” said to nudge hikers off the cliffs of Fall River; a horned Yuletide beast that prowls snowy streets, sniffing out naughty children; the “Woman in White” who mourns among the crumbling headstones of a forgotten graveyard; and the spectral soldiers that still drill on a moonlit Lexington Green. Jeff explains how these tales took root in Puritan fears, Native lore, and Revolutionary-era trauma—and why they refuse to die. Along the way, hear field recordings of phantom footsteps, learn the best (or worst) nights to visit haunted bridges, and discover why folklore may hold more truth than we dare admit.   Become a Premium Supporter of The Grave Talks Through Apple Podcasts or Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) There, you will get: Access to every episode of our show, AD-FREE!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 4, 2025 is: Yankee • YANG-kee • noun Yankee can refer broadly to anyone born or living in the U.S., more narrowly to only those in the northern U.S., or even more narrowly to only those in the states of New England. The broadest use is especially common outside the U.S. // It took the children some time to adjust to being the only Southerners in a classroom full of Yankees. // After years of international travel, he'd grown accustomed to living as a Yankee abroad. See the entry > Examples: "Anthony Pettaway's coworkers at Norfab Ducting have known for the past six years he was good at getting their deliveries to the right department. They also knew from his accent that the receivables department employee was a relocated Yankee." — Jill Doss-Raines, The Dispatch (Lexington, NC), 10 June 2025 Did you know? We don't know the origin of Yankee but we do know that it began as an insult. British General James Wolfe used the term in a 1758 letter to express his low opinion of the New England troops assigned to him, and from around the same time period there is a report of British troops using Yankee as a term of abuse for the citizens of Boston. In 1775, however, after the battles of Lexington and Concord showed that colonials could stand up to British regulars, Yankee was proudly adopted by colonials as a self-descriptor in defiance of the pejorative use. Both derisive and respectable uses have existed ever since.

Faith Lit the Fire of Freedom. Lynette Kittle reminds us that the fight for liberty wasn’t just political—it was deeply spiritual. John Adams and other Founding Fathers understood that freedom begins with God. Influenced by the Great Awakening, their pursuit of independence was undergirded by prayer, Scripture, and a firm belief in God’s providence. From James Madison’s defense of religious liberty to Benjamin Franklin’s reflections on virtue and morality, America’s foundations were built on the understanding that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

She opens up about navigating the messy middle of parenting teens, the changing landscape of education and career paths, and how taking exceptional care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential for showing up as your best self in all areas of life.What You'll Learn• How to identify and capitalize on underserved markets (like the 1:92,500 ratio of kids' salons to children under 12)• The difference between building a business versus building a brand, and why that distinction matters for scalability• How to navigate major career transitions while growing a family without sacrificing either• Why work-life integration beats work-life balance, and how companies like Bar Method pioneered flexible work cultures long before it was trendy• The reality of franchise development and what it takes to scale from one location to 150+ nationwide• How to maintain your entrepreneurial edge while co-parenting teens who are figuring out their own paths• Why the traditional college-to-career pipeline might not be the best option for every kid (and the alternatives worth considering)• The importance of modeling resilience and showing your children that adults are still learning and growing too• How to practice "exceptional self-care" as a busy parent and business owner without guilt• Why intuition is an underrated but essential business skill, and how to develop your ability to spot trends before they become mainstreamConnect with Amy LeClaireWebsite: sitstillkids.comInstagram: @sitstillkidsSit Still Kids is expanding to New England with locations opening in the Boston area and Providence!Connect with Ashley:Website: https://dovetaildesigns.coPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/AND/BOTH Community: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/andboth-communityDovetail® App: https://airtable.com/appn6w6IWipJYIuA3/pagZys7UnECzM46iJ/formSocial:Instagram: @dovetailappFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dovetaildesigns.coLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message|The drumbeat of liberty that began at Lexington and Concord in 1775 would echo for eight long years before America secured its independence. Yet winning the war proved only the first challenge—creating a functioning nation would require even more patience, wisdom, and compromise.Most Americans don't realize that nearly four years passed between the Treaty of Paris (1783) and the Constitutional Convention (1787). During this critical period, our young nation struggled under the weak Articles of Confederation, facing economic instability, regional tensions, and even armed rebellion. Different regions—New England with its shipping interests, the agricultural Middle States, and the plantation South—viewed each other with suspicion and competed for economic advantage.When delegates finally gathered in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787, they faced the monumental task of strengthening the federal government without trampling the liberty they had just fought to secure. For three months and twenty-four days, they debated, compromised, and sometimes argued fiercely behind closed doors and sealed windows. The Great Compromise balanced the interests of large and small states, while the Three-Fifths Compromise attempted to address the contradiction of slavery in a nation founded on liberty—a solution that would contribute to sectional tensions for the next 75 years.Key Points from the Episode:• The American Revolutionary War began April 19, 1775, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord• The Declaration of Independence was adopted July 4, 1776, a full year after fighting began• Final major battle at Yorktown occurred in October 1781, but peace treaty wasn't signed until 1783• Articles of Confederation (America's first constitution) proved extremely weak and ineffective• Regional differences created intense conflicts between states over economic and political priorities• Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 demonstrated the need for stronger central government• Constitutional Convention lasted three months and twenty-four days during summer 1787• The Great Compromise balanced representation between large and small states• Most founders mistakenly believed slavery would naturally dissolve within a generation• Despite the summer setting, Philadelphia's weather in 1787 was relatively mild• Four years passed between the end of the Revolutionary War and the signing of the ConstitutionJoin us this whole next year as we celebrate America's 250th birthday and reflect on the exceptional nature of our national character that emerged through these challenging founding years.Keep fighting the good fight.Other resources: Lovers of Liberty--Book 5Lovers of Liberty--Book 4Lovers of Liberty--Book 3Lovers of Liberty--Book 2Want to leave a review?

There is something about facing down your biggest fears that really changes you on an elemental level. -Laura DeSisto Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone! This week's success story is a listener favorite…and perfect to listen to in the car on your way to the beach. You may have heard that it's the 50th anniversary of the movie that made a lot of people afraid to go into the ocean at all. JAWS was released in the summer of 1975 and featured a gigantic mechanical great white shark with a very bad habit of terrifying beach goers on Martha's Vineyard. Laura DeSisto spent her summers on her father's boat, sailing off the coast of the idyllic New England island. She begged her parents to allow her to see the movie, and emerged terrified of the water. Flash forward to a rough patch in her adulthood, when Laura's grown children moved out and she and her husband became empty-nesters. Her friends gathered around her and encouraged her to try new things, get outside of her comfort zone, and embrace this newfound freedom. Her bestie even decided it was time to conquer Laura's biggest fear of all: SHARKS and enrolled her in a scuba diving class at a resort in the Bahamas. Shaking in her flip flops, Laura took the class and on her very first dive, safely tethered to her dive master, she came face to face with a….(just hit that download button for the rest of the story! #sharks #courage #sisterhood

***UPDATED AUDIO TRACKING*** in beef's hurry to leave town and add a cold open he messed up tracking.... it is fixed now! enjoy this cast on your way to the beach maybe???   Fifty years ago, the summer blockbuster was born. Director Steven Spielberg, in his second official turn at the helm, adapted Peter Benchley's best-selling novel about a New England resort town plagued by a great white shark. Despite production delays and budget overruns, this $9 million “high-concept” thriller starring Roy Schneider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfus took a $477.9 million bite out of the box office and became the highest-grossing film of all time, until the release of Star Wars two years later. Spawning multiple sequels and imitations, this film remains the undisputed master of the seas. But will our hosts fall hook, line, and sinker for Jaws?

Maps of New England during King Philip's War March 1676 had been catastrophic for the settlers of New England. Algonquians allied with Metacom (King Philip) attacked all across the frontier, forcing the evacuation of far-flung towns in both Massachusetts and Plymouth, and destroying Providence, Rhode Island. The tide, however, was about to turn. The New English captured Canonchet, the leading military commander of the Narragansetts on April 3, 1676. Less than three weeks later, the Algonquians would win a decisive tactical victory at Sudbury, Massachusetts, but shortly thereafter their alliance would begin to fracture because of a shortage of food, a vicious epidemic, the dawning realization that the English had many more fighting men, and - perhaps most importantly - attacks by the Mohawks from the west. The coastal Algonquians, who had lived mostly at peace with the English for more than 50 years, were now between the ultimate rock and hard place. Along the way, both sides, but especially the English, would miss many opportunities for peace, and the war would continue in spite of catastrophic losses by both sides.

When a schoolteacher's borrowed BBC computer began displaying mysterious messages from a 16th-century scholar and beings from the year 2109, it sparked one of England's most bewildering paranormal cases.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: In Victorian London, a grisly murder case involving Maria and Frederick Manning shocked society and caught the attention of Charles Dickens himself. What began as a love triangle turned into a chilling tale of greed, betrayal, and murder, culminating in a public execution that would challenge the very nature of capital punishment in Great Britain. (The Murderous Mannings) *** In 1720, amidst a perilous pirate attack on the Atlantic, a newborn's cry changed the course of destiny. Ocean-Born Mary, christened by buccaneers and gifted with a bolt of green silk, would grow from a maritime legend into a symbol of courage and resilience in colonial New England, her extraordinary birth weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. (A Pirate's Godchild, Ocean-Born Mary) *** On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the nation by drowning her five children, one by one, in the family bathtub. Years of untreated mental illness, compounded by religious fanaticism and postpartum psychosis, culminated in this unimaginable tragedy. Was it the work of a tortured mind, or something darker at play? (Did The Devil Make Her Do It?) *** Deep in the ancient folds of the Appalachian Mountains, where time seems to slow and shadows linger, legends have taken root for millennia. These peaks have become a breeding ground for supernatural tales that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The sheer age and untamed nature of Appalachia have given birth to a rich tapestry of myths, from the Mothman, to ghosts, to the Devil himself. (Modern Mythology and Ancient Appalachia) *** In the heart of Preston, Ladywell Street is infamous for a chilling spectral presence capable of shifting forms—from eerie footsteps to a blood-soaked apparition known as the Bannister Doll. Once a beautiful young woman, Dolly Bannister met a tragic death at the hands of her father, a punishment for a crime she didn't commit. Now, her restless spirit seeks retribution, haunting the streets and striking fear into anyone who dares to cross her path. (The Haunting of Ladywell Street) *** In 1984, a sleepy English village became the unlikely stage for a mind-bending mystery when a schoolteacher's computer began receiving messages from a man claiming to be from 1546. As past and present collided through a BBC Micro, Ken Webster and his friends found themselves entangled in a web of Tudor English, future prophecies, and inexplicable phenomena that would challenge everything they thought they knew about time and technology.

Listeners have described the show as a cross between “Coast to Coast” with Art Bell, “The Twilight Zone” with Rod Serling, “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack, and “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy.DISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only.
