This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin stands a mansion whose reputation is as chilling as the winds that sweep across its decaying foundations. Summerwind Mansion, built in the early 20th century, has become one of the most infamous paranormal locations in the Midwest — a place where hauntings, tragedy, and madness seem woven into the very walls. For more than a century, families who attempted to live within its halls reported overwhelming dread, unexplainable activity, and encounters that pushed some to the brink of sanity. From apparitions and disembodied voices to aggressive energies that seemed determined to drive residents out, Summerwind earned a reputation for being a house few could endure for long. But why does this mansion wield such power over those who step inside? What forces linger there, and why do they remain so active after decades of abandonment? We explore the unsettling history behind Summerwind Mansion, the stories of those who fled in fear, and the legends that continue to surround its crumbling structure. . #summerwindmansion #wisconsinhaunted #thegravetalks #hauntedhistory #realghoststories #paranormalinvestigation #hauntings #terrifyingplaces #supernaturalencounters #hauntedmansion #midwesthaunted #trueparanormal Love real ghost stories?

Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world.

What began as a curiosity about extraterrestrial contact soon evolved into a deep exploration of consciousness and human potential.Seeking to share the profound shifts she'd experienced, Melissa, her amazing and supportive husband John and 3 kids relocated to north-central Wisconsin, where she began hosting intimate lakeside retreats at a historic resort she owns in the Northwoods—gatherings devoted to awakening, healing, and connection. As their popularity grew, so did her vision to make these experiences accessible to more people.That vision became the CONTACT Modalities XPO—a groundbreaking, heart-centered annual event at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, WI. The XPO unites brilliant minds and experiential teachers exploring how science and spirit converge through modalities such as meditation, remote viewing, UFO research, sound therapy, quantum hypnosis, psychedelics, and more.“My life became so enriched,” Melissa says, “I wanted this for everyone—to help raise consciousness and heal our world, which is more important now than ever.”Contact Modalities XPOwww.contactmodalitiesXPO.comContact Modalities XPO on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/contactmodalitiesxpoBig Arb Resortbigarb.comClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

In this special "Get to Know the Staff" episode, Pastor Bobby sits down with Lexi Bruner, the NorthWoods Communications Director and the new voice of the NorthWoods Church Matters podcast. Lexi shares about her small-town upbringing, her journey to USI, and how a shift from long-term care to marketing set her on a path she never expected. She describes growing up a "Christmas and Easter" churchgoer, how God woke her up from that, and the big part that NorthWoods has played in her testimony. Lexi and Bobby also look ahead to the future of the podcast: why it matters for discipleship in a growing church, how it creates space for conversations that Sunday mornings can't hold, and what's coming when the new building opens, including the launch of a full vodcast. Lexi even shares her dream guest list (and Bobby doesn't shoot any of them down!).

In this special episode, Lexi sits down with Pastor Bobby Pell and Elder Troy Lucht to walk through NorthWoods' proposed 2026 annual budget. Together, they unpack why the church creates a budget each year, the major categories that shape our financial planning, and what's changing as we look ahead to a new year of growth and ministry. Troy explains the core purposes behind the budgeting process: planning, mission alignment, stewardship, transparency, and accountability. Bobby adds insight about how the budget reflects the heart of our church's mission. They discuss expected shifts for 2026, including the mortgage for the new building, adjustments in Cooperative Program giving, changes in staffing roles, and the financial impact of NorthWoods' recent 15% growth. You will also hear why some line items are increasing, how ministry expansion affects spending, and how the elders evaluate stewardship through historical trends, mission focus, and real-time financial health. The team also outlines how members can review the budget, ask questions, and participate in the upcoming approval vote. Check out the budget here!

The shallow water in Northwoods marshes and bays began to crackle with a skim of ice recently, gently reminding everyone that winter is on the way. Ice-up is a firm deadline for many beings who migrate to travel at least a little bit farther south. I got caught up in the flurry of activity and soon found myself in the Mississippi River Flyway swooping around the hills and corners of the Great River Road with other Northerners heading south.    Check out Emily's third book, hot off the press!

The entirely volunteer-run light display at Hodag Park starts December 1st.

In 1962, the Pentagon presented President John F. Kennedy with a plan so shocking it remained classified for 35 years. The plan? To stage terrorist attacks on American soil, hijack planes, sink ships, and murder U.S. citizens—then blame it all on Cuba to justify a war.This was Operation Northwoods, a real false-flag proposal signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and delivered directly to the Secretary of Defense. It wasn't a theory. It wasn't speculation. It was written, approved—and almost carried out.In this episode, Jeremy Ryan Slate breaks down:

Adam and Greg sit down and get caught up on all the hunting thats been going on. Starting off with Adam & Grant's VT Muzzleloader Does, rolling right into the entire first week of Maine Deer camp, and Greg's Maine Buck!

Milfred and Hands explore the "Game of Thrones" conflict between Sean Duffy, the Trump administration official acting as head of NASA, and Elon Musk, the former billionaire buddy of President Donald Trump who leads SpaceX and Tesla, both of which Duffy now regulates as the secretary of Transportation. Musk insulted Duffy, calling him Sean "Dummy" and making fun of his North Woods lumberjacking skills honed in Wisconsin. But Duffy seems to have the upper hand, at least for now, as America seeks to return to the moon and eventually Mars.

The air shimmered as I walked through the forest, the heavy mists encompassing me in a damp blanket. As my shoes trod on soggy leaves, I took in the quiet serenity of the forest. Many of the trees had begun their annual changing of the colors, painting the canopy in shades of yellow, orange, red and green. Their discarded leaves were already beginning to dot the forest floor in late September. But fallen leaves weren't the only contributors of color on the ground–the fall mushrooms were popping in the Northwoods.

Last week I wrote about acorns clattering across my roof. As it turns out, nuts are raining down on many of your roofs, too! Commiserating over the loud, foot-rolling acorns makes me feel like part of an extended community. Are the oaks part of a similar community? And why are they suddenly attacking us with acorns! Oaks are mast species, which means that all the trees in an area will produce a bumper crop of acorns at the same time, but only every two to five years. From mice to owls to chatting neighbors, oaks, and the mystery of their mast years, are at the center of our Northwoods community.

The pontoon bobbed in the water as I stepped onto the deck, clutching binoculars and trying to contain my excitement. Since moving to the Northwoods in the middle of winter, I had been waiting for the chance to see a loon, and my chance finally arrived in late May. The sunlight danced across the water as our boat left the dock, and we began our search. It wasn't long before we spotted the silhouette of a loon off in the distance, and headed for a closer look.

Wisconsin beef producers check-off dollars are at work with some fun and important activities. Wisconsin has a new way to celebrate one of its most iconic dining traditions. The Wisconsin Beef Council, in partnership with Gather Wisconsin, has launched the Prime Rib Trail — a statewide guide to supper clubs and restaurants serving this timeless cut of beef. The trail highlights favorites across the state, from Northwoods classics to hidden gems in small towns, and was built with input from beef lovers who shared their go-to Prime Rib spots earlier this year. Wisconsin is also welcoming a group of visitors from Central America to investigate all facets of the states beef production. Funded in part by a grant through the WI Ag Export Council, the group will tour beef producers farms, beef harvesting and processing facilities, as well as food distribution partners during the adventure in northeast Wisconsin. All of these activities are made through the beef check-off program. Vaassen also explains the budget process just completed by the 22 member WBC board to give financial guidance for 2026. Tammy Vaassen, executive director of the Wisconsin Beef Council joins Pam Jahnke for the update.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

September can leave gardeners feeling torn — the weather whispers fall, but the garden seems ready to shut down. Should you plant more, or just call it quits until spring? In today's episode, I'll show you why the answer is yes — you can still plant, and you'll be glad you did. We'll cover four categories of crops you can grow right now — greens, roots, brassicas, and herbs — plus the key differences between fall and spring planting that will make all the difference in your success. Here's what you'll learn: The fast-growing greens you can direct sow today for quick harvests. Root crops that thrive in cooling soil (and how to get them to germinate). Why fall brassicas do best from transplants. Cool-season herbs that love September planting. One piece of spring garden advice that doesn't work in fall. You'll also hear my tips for moisture management, full sun placement, and how to think in terms of “baby harvests” instead of waiting for everything to fully mature.

This episode of the Okayest Hunter Podcast brings Thomas Kotz into the studio from Henry Repeating Arms for a conversation that covers a lot of ground. From the history of lever guns to what makes Henry rifles a favorite among whitetail hunters. We dig into bear hunting stories from Wisconsin and Montana, the appeal of small game, and the old-school tradition of still-hunting deer in the Northwoods.

In this episode, we'll spend a day on the water with my friend Israel as he searches for his first musky. Along the way, we will chat with a journalist about the early years of fishing in Wisconsin's Northwoods and take a field trip to learn about the role trains played in the Badger State's fishing history.

In this special Q&A episode of The Moose Hunt Podcast, Rob Fickett sits down with teammates Nathan Theriault, Bryce Morrison, Rob Mayo, Rick Mewer and Eric Childs to tackle your questions. From scouting strategies and clothing selections to stories from the Maine woods and behind-the-scenes outfitting insights, no topic is off limits.

I recently took a small group of elite producers into the Northwoods to prove there's a better way to get together than the typical insurance conference. In this raw, roundtable conversation we recorded on-site, they share the biggest lessons they learned from two days of stripping away the noise and focusing on what actually moves the needle. We get into the power of shared struggle, the non-negotiable health habits of high-performers, and the value-driven decisions that separate them from the rest of the industry. This is what real growth looks like.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Elite Producers Share Their Biggest Lessons At The Northwoods Retreat (00:06:45) A Metaphor for Life: The Power of a "Swim Sherpa" (00:11:38) The Real Health Hacks of Top Producers (00:15:45) The Playbook For Building Your Brand (00:17:19) How to Build Real Connections in a Surface-Level IndustryCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY
