Podcasts about objects

In the months after Lila's mother passed, the house they once shared began to feel… different. Too aware. Too watchful. As a grieving 13-year-old trying to hold herself together, Lila chalked it up to imagination—until the quiet corners of the home started whispering back.Strange footsteps echoed from rooms no one entered. Voices called her name from empty stairwells. Objects shifted when no one was near them. And on more than one night, something moved through the house with an unmistakable familiarity… as if it knew exactly where her mother used to walk.But not everything Lila encountered felt comforting. Some moments were gentle, almost protective. Others left her frozen in place, questioning whether the presence in the house was her mother—or something else entirely.As the anniversary of her mother's death approached, the house seemed to come alive around her, responding in ways she couldn't explain and didn't dare acknowledge.#ghoststories, #realghoststoriesonline, #paranormalencounters, #hauntedhouse, #spiritvisitation, #afterlife, #supernaturalactivity, #creepyphenomena, #trueghoststory, #unexplainedeventsLove real ghost stories?

They thought they were moving into a home. What they actually moved into was a presence—one that didn't announce itself with screams, but with precision. Little things. Quiet rearrangements. A bag that tips… then stands upright by itself. Objects placed dead center on the kitchen floor like a message. A house that seems to watch and wait for the moment someone is alone. Then the sightings begin. An old man sitting in a kitchen chair, looking up with a face so sad it stops someone in their tracks. A child describing a terrifying woman—messy hair, “witch-like,” peeking from the doorway… then pulling back as if she's hiding. And a shadowy figure in a hat, walking the hallway again and again, like he's on patrol. The family tries to treat it like a security problem. Locks are changed. Windows checked. Explanations forced. But none of it matters—because the truth is uglier: Whatever is there… was there first. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealParanormal #TheHatMan #ShadowPeople #TerrifyingEncounters #TrueHorror #GhostSightings #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #RealGhosts  Love real ghost stories?

It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York. Japanese restaurant paid $3.24 million for bluefin tuna And finally, a Japanese sushi chain set a record for the price paid for a fish yesterday.  The Japan Times reports that Sushi Zanmai paid $3.24 million for a Pacific bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish auction. That's an astounding $6,600 per pound!

In November of 2006, University of Arizona's Spacewatch astronomers on Kitt Peak discovered a faint moving point of light in the night sky which appeared to be a garden variety main belt asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. The Minor Planet Center calculated it's orbit and gave it the name 2006 VW139. Five years later when it again moved closest to the Sun the Pan-STARRS group in Hawaii discovered that 2006 VW139 is surrounded by a gas cloud like a comet and it was given a comet designation, 288P. My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Steve Larson is a member of the team of astronomers who use the Hubble Space Telescope to observe asteroids which have comet like burps. Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope between August 2016 and January 2017 clearly show 288P to be two similar, mile diameter, asteroids orbiting each other about 60 miles apart, surrounded by a gas cloud, as they move about the Sun. The Hubble team estimates that about 5,000 years ago this strange object was formed when a rapidly rotating comet nucleus came apart into two large pieces. It's gas cloud is likely to come from volatile ices like carbon dioxide and water vapor which were liberated by solar heating. Objects like this one are very interesting since they may have had a role in bringing water to a bone dry Earth in the early days of our solar system.

From childhood, she knew something wasn't right—but it wasn't tied to a single haunted house. Wherever she went, the activity followed. Shadows moved without a source. Voices whispered in empty rooms. A little girl's laughter echoed down hallways where no one stood. What began as fear inside a family home slowly became something far more disturbing—a real haunting that reacted to her presence. She saw apparitions others couldn't explain: a Civil War soldier, a silent man in overalls, and a glowing figure that walked straight through walls. Objects moved on their own. Doors closed. A doll was violently thrown from a shelf after she demanded proof. And one night, a dark figure with red eyes sat on her bed. As she grew older, the phenomenon didn't fade—it spread. Jobs became haunted. Coworkers saw figures she never described. Friends' homes changed after she arrived. Even her boyfriend's family began seeing the same ghostly child. Was it a ghost? Something darker? Or a haunting tied to her alone? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedLife #ShadowFigure #ParanormalExperience #GhostChild #HauntedHouse #SleepParalysis #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ScaryStories  Love real ghost stories?

Rabbi Uriarte tells a story of a time when a Torah Scroll fell to the ground during worship to begin a conversation about how Judaism, Christianity and Islam think of and revere holy objects.

It began with a nightmare she never fully forgot — a man stepping out from behind a sheer closet curtain, silent and watching. Even after she woke, the feeling stayed. The sense that something hadn't left with the dream. As the years passed and the houses changed, the experiences followed in pieces. Footsteps that sounded exactly like someone familiar. A shadow moving calmly through a hallway. Objects shifting just enough to be noticed. Sounds that made sense until they didn't. Nothing announced itself. Nothing demanded attention. And for a long time, she convinced herself it was the houses — old wiring, thin walls, stress, imagination. Until something crossed a line. What unsettled her most wasn't fear, but recognition. The way the presence seemed to imitate instead of threaten. The way it watched without revealing intent. The way it appeared wherever she tried to start over. #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #ShadowFigure #HauntedHomes #RealHaunting #Unexplained #ParanormalPodcast #SupernaturalEncounters #CreepingFear #TrueParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks EPISODE! Is it possible for an ordinary object to become something far more unsettling? In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the eerie world of haunted objects—items that seem to carry more than just age and memory. From dolls and mirrors to heirlooms passed down through generations, countless people report strange activity tied not to places, but to things. Christopher Balzano, author of Haunted Objects: Stories of Ghosts on Your Shelf breaks down why certain objects appear to retain residual energy, emotional imprints, or even attract spirits unwilling—or unable—to move on. Are these items acting as anchors for the dead, or are they simply vessels absorbing human emotion and trauma over time? We examine whether an object itself can be haunted, or if it's merely part of a larger haunting that follows it wherever it goes. When something familiar suddenly feels wrong, is it imagination… or a warning? Once an object carries a story, the question becomes: can it ever truly be just an object again?

When Anthony Christopher and his wife bought Pine Lawn Manor in Sumner, Illinois, they didn't just acquire an old building—it seems they acquired a building full of restless spirits. Once rated the worst nursing home in the state, this former hotel and care facility harbored untold stories of abuse, neglect, and despair. Now, it's become one of the most active paranormal hotspots in the Midwest. Many investigators have reported chilling encounters with shadow figures, disembodied voices, and a ghostly nurse named Ed who may still roam the halls. Objects seem to materialize out of nowhere. Lights flash without electricity.  Some buildings don't forget. Some spirits never leave. And some places like Pine Lawn Manor were never meant to be silent. Today, on The Grave Talks, we go behind the manor's aging walls with owner Anthony Christopher. For more information, search Haunted Pine Lawn Manor and Rehab Center on Facebook.

In this episode, we dive into a myriad of exciting developments in the space industry and cosmology. We kick things off with a major shake-up as Blue Origin hires Tory Brian, the former president and CEO of United Launch Alliance, to lead their new national security group. This strategic move signals Blue Origin's serious intent to compete for lucrative national security launch contracts, especially with their upcoming Glenn Heavy Lift rocket. Next, we explore a new and intriguing theory regarding dark matter, proposing that it may be composed of giant, star-sized objects, referred to as exotic astrophysical dark objects (IADs). Researchers are optimistic about detecting these objects through gravitational lensing, potentially using data from the Gaia Space Telescope. Shifting our focus, we discuss the upcoming close encounter of Asteroid Apophis with Earth in 2029, where the European Space Agency and JAXA will collaborate on the Ramses mission to study the asteroid's behavior under Earth's gravity. Understanding these interactions is crucial for future planetary defense strategies. We also tackle the mystery of missing normal matter in the universe. A recent study utilizing fast radio bursts has confirmed that a significant portion of this matter resides in the cosmic web, providing a monumental victory for cosmology by completing the census of normal matter. As we move closer to home, we highlight a groundbreaking dataset released by researchers at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, mapping one million stable trajectories in the cis-lunar space. This open-source resource will aid future lunar missions and infrastructure planning. Finally, we preview the astronomical events of 2026, including a total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse, and exciting meteor showers, all set against a backdrop of high solar activity promising stunning auroras.

Something To Think About Series #284 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

It starts as just another sleepless summer night—controller in hand, lights low, the quiet hum of a house after midnight. But when a teenage gamer looks up and notices a figure standing just outside his bedroom door, everything changes. The silhouette is unmistakable, right down to the wire-rim glasses his uncle always wore. Within hours, the experience spreads through the family in ways no one expects. A vivid dream. A message that isn't spoken out loud. Objects appearing where they shouldn't be. A familiar scent drifting through the house. None of it feels threatening. None of it feels accidental. What follows isn't a haunting—it's something gentler, more personal, and far harder to explain. A reminder that sometimes, goodbyes don't happen all at once. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #VisitationStory #AfterDeathCommunication #FamilyHaunting #SpiritualSigns #LovedOnesAfterDeath #GentleHaunting #UnexplainedEvents #VisitationDream #SignsFromBeyond #ParanormalExperience #ComfortingEncounters #GhostStories  Love real ghost stories?

When people first started developing tools every detail had a purpose or hidden feature. Nothing was created by accident or pointlessly. From coins to lollipop sticks: every detail that might seem meaningless actually serves its secret purpose. For example, take a look at the eggs you cook every day. The digits you might have noticed actually have a meaning. They can tell you about the country of production, and whether the egg is organic or not.

Hey there! Are you attentive enough? I'm sure you're surrounded by dozens of things with cool details you have no idea the purpose of. Ridges on the coins you use for payments or cylinders on the charging cables, and the tiny dots on your iPhone camera - all of these things have a lot of secret details. Do you have a round plunger in your bathroom? I bet you use it to eliminate a blockage in your toilet. But I'm gonna break the news to you: it's meant to eliminate a blockage in another place... I'm gonna tell you all about it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When humans first started creating tools, every single detail had a purpose, nothing was made by accident. Nowadays we often forget about the hidden features of things we use every day.. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Please support the podcast on Patreon!Thank you to all of my paid subscribers!My friend Tom Guarriello joins me to unpack a deceptively simple question—why do some things matter more than others?How is it that “brands” are rarely just products. Tom describes how they're meaning-machines: coffee cups, clothes, grocery aisles, and the everyday objects we carry through life are the things that quietly scaffold identity, aspiration, and sense of belonging.Choice arrives instantly; explanation comes later. Tom's “meaning stack” helps us understand the rise of culture brands those brands that don't just sell products, but stage worlds: concerts, exhibitions, lifestyles, and point-of-view. Tom's new book gets into all of this and more. Check out his "The Meaning of Branded Objects".https://tomguarriello.com

Shanda didn't believe her boyfriend's little mid-century Austin house held anything darker than outdated wiring or a few creaky floors. Built in the 1950s, remodeled to death, colorful, quirky—nothing about it screamed haunted. And yet the moment she stepped inside, she felt something beneath the bright paint and modern upgrades. Not evil. Not angry. But aware. Then she saw her. A tall, thin woman in a pale pink gown, standing perfectly still in the living room, watching from the shadows as if she belonged there. By the time her boyfriend turned around, the apparition was gone—but the house wasn't finished with her. Objects moved on their own. Items vanished only to reappear across the room in impossible places. Footsteps whispered through the walls at night. A man's voice. A boy's voice. Arguing. Always arguing. Years later, she still wonders what truly lived in that house—because some hauntings warn you. Others protect you. And some blur the line between both. #ghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #truespiritstory #realghoststories #ghostencounter #shadowfigure #haunting #supernatural #ghosts #theunexplained Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For most children, bedtime brings calm. For Anthony Almaraz, it brought chaos. Objects flew across rooms without warning. Shadowy figures wandered the hallway as casually as family members. And strange doubles—mirror versions of people he knew—appeared where they never should have been. These weren't isolated events, but the everyday reality of a childhood spent living beside something no one could fully explain. Anthony reflects on the relentless encounters that defined his early years and the moment he realized he could no longer ignore them. What began as fear evolved into a determined search for answers: Who was haunting his home? What fueled the violent disturbances? And why did these entities seem so interested in him? #thegravetalks #anthonymalmaraz #hauntedchildhood #poltergeistactivity #shadowfigures #paranormalpodcast #trueghoststories #doppelgangerencounter #paranormalexperiences #supernaturalstories #hauntedlife #beyondtheveil Love real ghost stories?

Some houses whisper. Hers watched. From the time she was barely old enough to reach the doorknob, she understood instinctively that something inside her childhood home was studying her—waiting, choosing its moments carefully. Shadows leaned where they shouldn't. Objects fell with intent. Dreams bled into waking life until she could no longer tell which threats came from sleep and which stood inches from her face. But the nightmare sharpened the year her baby sister was nearly taken by something no child should ever see. What followed was not one haunting, but a progression—a presence that grew bolder with every refusal, every scream, every night she tried to outrun it by sleeping in another room. Some entities linger. This one pursued. Years later, a medium would confirm what she already knew in her bones: this wasn't a haunting trapped in walls. It was a doorway. A wound. A place where something powerful slipped through—and found her. And some things, once they find you, don't fully let go. #truehaunting #poltergeist #closetdemon #darkentity #childhoodhaunting #paranormalencounter #hauntedhouse #paranormal #demonicpresence #realghoststories Love real ghost stories?

In a family that moved constantly for ministry work, ghosts weren't just discouraged—they were flat-out “not real.” No Halloween. No hauntings. No talk about anything beyond the approved version of faith. But in one particular house, the rules didn't matter. Books slid off shelves with no one near them. Objects skidded across tables. A massive, solid wood bookcase—so heavy it took multiple grown men and a dolly to move—nearly toppled onto the bunk bed where Alex and a younger sister slept. No one else saw it, no one else believed it, and Alex already carried another weight: a rare medical condition that causes hallucinations. To everyone around them, that diagnosis became the easy answer for everything. Except this started before the disorder. And Alex insists they can tell the difference. Was this a classic poltergeist latching onto the most sensitive person in the family—or something darker that knew exactly how easy it would be to blame it all on “hallucinations”?
