SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 22In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the formation of the universe's most enigmatic objects, explore the origins of Saturn's iconic rings, and get updates on NASA's Artemis 2 mission.Black Holes and Exotic Cosmic StructuresA groundbreaking study suggests that some of the universe's most exotic entities, including black holes and cannibal stars, may have formed just seconds after the Big Bang. Researchers from the International School of Advanced Studies propose that subatomic particles condensed into halos of matter, which then collapsed to create these fascinating cosmic structures. Their findings, published in Physical Review D, indicate that even in the earliest moments of the universe, complex physical phenomena were already taking shape, paving the way for our understanding of cosmic evolution.The Formation of Saturn's RingsNew research proposes that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have formed from the collision of two older moons, potentially linking this event to the creation of Saturn's spectacular ring system. The study, reported in the Planetary Science Journal, utilizes computer simulations to explore the dynamics of Saturn's moons and their interactions, suggesting that Titan's merger could explain its unique orbit and the age of the rings, estimated to be around 100 million years.NASA's Artemis 2 Mission UpdateFollowing the recent scrubbing of the Artemis 2 launch due to hydrogen leaks, NASA has made significant repairs and is preparing for another attempt. Engineers have replaced seals in the mobile launcher's umbilical area and are conducting further testing to ensure the rocket's readiness. With multiple launch windows available in March, the Artemis 2 mission aims to test key systems aboard the Orion spacecraft, setting the stage for future lunar exploration and the eventual return of humans to the Moon.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review D, Planetary Science JournalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

We're going a little more local this episode with a couple of Swedish breweries you might not have heard of before. Shapes and Objects is from Karlstad. They've been around for a couple of years and are just getting started. Sun Trip DDH Hazy IPA is a collab with Spanish brewers Malandar. Coming in at 6.2%, this IPA is filled with citra, mosiac, nelson sauvin and manalita hops. Malmö based Perfectly Squared has been expanding across the city more and more. Strawblime is a collab with Bottenvikens from Luleå in far North Sweden. This is a 4.5% ABV sour beer that's going for a strawberry daquiri experience. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sour #ipa

At first, it was just a shadow.A figure was seen standing over the bed in the middle of the night. Floors creaking. Objects falling. The uneasy feeling that someone was watching — even when no one was there.But then it escalated. One night, as she lay back and closed her eyes, a voice came through the air — fuzzy and distorted, like static bleeding from an AM radio.It didn't whisper. It introduced itself. “My name is George.”When a presence not only lingers but also identifies itself, the fear changes. Because now it's not just a shadow. It's something that wants to be known.#ShadowFigure #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounter #VoiceInTheDark #AMRadioStatic #RealGhostStories #UnseenPresence #ThingsThatWatch #GhostStory #WhenItSpeaksLove real ghost stories?

This week's episode is an inquiry into our concepts of time and space. We can be very devoted to our belief in time and space, to the point that we begin to see ourselves as dependent on it. The body may be subject to the rules of time and space, but is the body you? Or are you the awareness that the experience of the body is located in? That pure awareness, as Tom puts it, is the location for everything. An analogy for that pure awareness that we are is light; light has no texture, no substance. Objects can come into the light to be reflected and therefore experienced. We can often get caught up in identifying with the object being reflected in the light, but who we really are is the pure light – the pure awareness that has room for everything.

Navy tracks objects moving 200+ knots underwater at impossible depths. USO database reveals centuries of submerged UFO encounters.This week's Fringe News Briefing covers four major stories: A groundbreaking study found 944 cases where Bigfoot and UFO sightings occurred within 72 hours of each other. Skinwalker Ranch Season 6 documented invisible phenomena, mysterious 1.6 gigahertz signals, and heat-resistant ceramic buried underground. A former Bank of England analyst publicly urged the institution to prepare for financial collapse in the event of alien disclosure. And new research suggests human consciousness arises from the brain resonating with the quantum vacuum's zero-point field.Then we dive deep into Unidentified Submerged Objects. Commander David Fravor's famous 2004 Nimitz encounter wasn't just about the Tic Tac in the air—USS Princeton tracked objects underwater for two weeks before that encounter. Objects dropping from 80,000 feet to sea level in less than a second, continuing into the ocean without any change in momentum. The Enigma database documents centuries of these encounters, from medieval chronicles to modern military sonar data. Objects moving at 200+ knots underwater, diving to 27,000 feet, transitioning between water and air with no splash or disturbance. Geographic hotspots near the Puerto Rico Trench, the Pacific Northwest, and the Gulf of Mexico show consistent activity. If the U.S. Navy has decades of classified USO data, and if these objects exhibit the same physics-defying capabilities as aerial UAPs, we need to talk about what that actually means for humanity's understanding of what's operating in Earth's oceans.

At fourteen, a teenager in Auckland began to sense that she was no longer alone in her room. At first, it was only a feeling—an awareness that someone was nearby. Over time, the encounters became physical. Objects moved. Touches lingered. Marks appeared with no explanation.What made the experience more disturbing was that it didn't stay confined to one house. The presence followed her—to friends' homes, to university housing, and into entirely new stages of her life. As she grew older, its behavior shifted. At times it felt possessive. At others, openly hostile.The most frightening incidents involved pressure, restraint, and injuries that others refused to believe had any paranormal cause. No apparition was ever seen—only the effects it left behind.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalAttachment #UnexplainedInjuries #MalevolentEntity #HauntingExperience #PhysicalHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #SomethingFollowedHer #UnseenPresenceLove real ghost stories?

This episode features a conversation with the founding members of the Feminist Critical Hindu Studies Collective, also known as the Auntylectuals. We began with each of them reflecting on their pathway into Hindu Studies and how the questions of caste and gender shaped their approaches to this field. We then discussed their motivations for starting the collective and what interventions they hoped to make through it. This took us deeper into some thorny topics: caste as a form of embodied knowledge that is often accompanied by the denial of its continued social power; the politics of Hinduism in North America where Hindus are both predominantly upper caste and a racial minority; the relationship between Hinduism and Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism; the traffic in language and tactics between Hindutva and Zionism; and the efforts to push back against the movement to make caste a protected category in U.S. anti-discrimination law.

In this conversation, Sandra Magsamen discusses her approach to creating children's literature that emphasizes connection, love, and emotional intelligence. She shares insights into her creative process, the importance of feedback from readers, and how her work aims to foster self-love and connection between caregivers and children. Magsamen also reflects on her artistic journey, the role of perseverance, and the significance of storytelling in shaping lives. Takeaways Connection is at the heart of children's literature. Love is an action that caregivers can demonstrate. Books can provide comfort and emotional support to children. Feedback from readers is validating and inspires future work. Objects like books and blankets can hold deep emotional significance. Stories can change lives and shape worldviews. Curiosity fuels creativity and artistic expression. Perseverance is essential in the creative process. Every project is an opportunity to connect hearts. The act of reading together fosters intimacy and connection.   Chapters 00:00 The Heart of Connection in Children's Literature 02:48 Love as an Action: The Role of Caregivers 05:34 Impactful Feedback: Stories from Readers 08:31 The Power of Objects and Books in Shaping Lives 11:06 Curiosity and Creativity: Fueling the Artistic Journey Learn more about our special guest: https://www.sandramagsamen.com/ Learn more with Jeff and Tricia https://www.shiftingschools.com/ Our show is produced by Sagheer M.

Some artifacts don't just belong to history… they challenge it.This week on Juxtaposition, we examine objects that shouldn't exist — from an ancient device that behaves like a battery, to a map that may preserve knowledge from lost civilizations, to a medieval book so massive and mysterious it spawned legends of the supernatural… and a modern artifact that may have been explained away far too quickly.Are these simply misunderstood relics… or evidence that knowledge can appear, disappear, and survive in ways history isn't comfortable admitting? Join us as we explore the places where certainty breaks down — and mystery refuses to die.

At first, nothing about the relationship seemed unusual. A year and a half together. Shared apartments. Time apart for work. But early on, she noticed the scratches — deep, unexplained marks that appeared on his body overnight, long before she entered his life. He said it had always been that way.As their relationship deepened, strange things began happening around her — but only when he was present. Shadows in mirrors. Doors opening on their own. Objects moving with deliberate precision. When he worked out of town, everything stopped.What began as coincidence slowly formed a pattern too consistent to ignore. And when an unexplained figure appeared beside her child's bed — seen by him alone — the question shifted from fear to something more disturbing.Was something following him?

Offer a neighboring act to someone new.

It wasn't an old building. It wasn't creepy. It was the kind of professional office where nothing strange was supposed to happen—especially not in broad daylight.At first, it was only small things. Sounds that didn't quite match the space. Objects left just slightly out of place. A hallway that felt fine on paper but somehow demanded to be passed through quickly, without stopping.Being alone there became routine. And slowly, that routine began to feel noticed.Whatever was present didn't rush or threaten. It moved carefully. Deliberately. As if it had time. As if it was learning the layout, the schedule, and the person who stayed late and arrived early.Even when the activity stopped, the feeling didn't completely fade. Some spaces remember who spent the most time in them.#RealGhostStories #WorkplaceHaunting #TrueParanormal #HauntedOffice #SomethingWasThere #UnexplainedActivity #ParanormalExperience #Haunted #BeingWatching #ParanormalPodcastLove real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOAs a child, Christie Williams was drawn to the unknown, fueled by late-night television and the quiet thrill of unanswered questions. Shows like Unsolved Mysteries, hosted by Robert Stack, didn't just entertain her — they planted the idea that some mysteries refuse to stay buried.That fascination followed her into adulthood, evolving into hands-on paranormal investigation, the ownership of a haunted home, and eventually a museum filled with objects said to carry their own histories and energies. Over time, Christie noticed patterns that raised an unsettling question: when haunted objects are placed inside an already active space, does the activity intensify?Her experiences suggest the answer isn't simple. Objects tied to trauma, memory, or unresolved emotion don't always remain passive. Within a space already charged with paranormal activity, they can seem to interact, amplify, or even provoke responses that feel intentional.Christie's story explores the intersection of curiosity and consequence — what happens when the desire to understand the paranormal turns into daily coexistence with it, and how some objects may bring more with them than their owners expect.#TheGraveTalks #HauntedObjects #ParanormalInvestigation #OdditiesMuseum #HauntedHomes #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ParanormalStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Within a space already charged with paranormal activity, they can seem to interact, amplify, or even provoke responses that feel intentional.Christie's story explores the intersection of curiosity and consequence — what happens when the desire to understand the paranormal turns into daily coexistence with it, and how some objects may bring more with them than their owners expect.#TheGraveTalks #HauntedObjects #ParanormalInvestigation #OdditiesMuseum #HauntedHomes #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?

The riots, protests, and boycotts that broke out in North America in the wake of the Stamp Act were only one part of the mass crisis that beset Great Britain in the 1760s, as the discontented poor and middle classes rallied behind the ideals of liberty and freedom of speech, and around “radical Whig” politicians who challenged the power of the Crown and the London oligarchy – none more so than the infamous provocateur, satirist, and “rake,” John Wilkes, who ignited popular passions in London and the colonies and nearly burned down the ruling Whig establishment. We examine a key specimen of a tiny glass cufflink jewel inscribed with the incendiary slogan, “Wilkes and Liberty,” which was rececntly discovered in an abandoned town in North Carolina, and which has touched off a wave of similar discoveries, revealing the importance of small, almost unnoticeable objects in the spread of discontent and radical rhetoric across the Atlantic in the years before the American Revolution.

A conversation about mathematics inspired by a piece of folklore. Presented by Katie Steckles and Peter Rowlett.

Rick Beck's modern cast and carved figurative glass sculptures are inspired by industrial and architectural works as well as the human form, with an emphasis on formal aspects. Interested in playing the volumes of mass against the rhythm of the lines, Beck enjoys the interplay of the visual versus the verbal, creating art that challenges the eye as well as the mind. Beck states: "My wife, Valerie, got me a book about the competitive relationship between Picasso and Matisse. Their artistic dialogue about the figure has fired my imagination, especially the way they shared and borrowed images and ideas from one another, as well as from history and literature. Between this book and visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, I've been inspired by the use of shape, form, and mass to create something more universal than the literal subject." A studio artist who was based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, for 30 years before moving to Hawaii in 2020, Beck began working in glass at Hastings College in Nebraska, where he received his BA. The artist received his MFA from Southern Illinois University, where he studied with Bill Boysen. He was awarded residencies at the Appalachian Center for Crafts 1989 to 1991, and in 1994 received a Visual Arts Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council, followed by a National Endowment for the Arts regional Visual Arts Fellowship from the Southern Arts Federation in 1995. A student of the Studio Glass movement, Beck has assisted at Pilchuck Glass School, assisting artists Curtiss Brock and Jan Mares, as well as at the Penland School of Craft.   Beck currently shares a studio with wife Valerie Thomas Beck in Hakalau, Hawaii. Valerie has been a designer and co-conspirator to Rick since 1984. Both artists have been artists-in-residence at Penland School of Crafts, North Carolina, (1991-94) and have also been instructors there. Their blown glass work consists mainly of vessels – canvasses for imagery based on dreams and experiences ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. These vessels document their lives while providing beauty and pleasure. Since moving to the Big Island, Beck's challenge in making glass work is two-fold. First, to create work without using fossil fuels or adding to the demand for capacity on the electrical grid. Their new studio is powered by a solar/photo voltaic and battery system. Second, to create work that excites and challenges his concepts of art inside these new energy parameters. For him, formal aspects are crucial. Beck stretches and manipulates common shapes and objects, reducing the objects to pattern and geometry. Currently, he is producing work focusing on the geometry of life, plant, and human forms.  Beck's work will be on view in 2026 at Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas, opening February 26; at Hidell Brooks Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina, in May; at Blue Spiral 1 group show, Asheville, North Carolina; and at Ken Saunders, Chicago, Illinois. His work is also represented by Raven Gallery, Aspen, Colorado.    

Victoria is back with us this week and she kicks things off with a doozy of a story about a species of bark lice that has undergone a complete swapping of genitals between males and females. It's a very cool story but has frank discussions of reproductive parts so parents feel free to decide if you're ready for those discussions with your young ones. Kirk is up next with a story about Redheads! Sure, we all know some strange redheads but did you know they may have super powers? New studies show that being a redhead may protect you in an unusual way. Rachel rounds out this week's show with JuMBOs, Jupiter Mass binary Objects.

Harvard Business School professor and behavioral scientist Mike Norton breaks down why rituals—small, often “irrational” actions—carry outsized emotional weight. From his own black binder “totem” for teaching, to sports routines and workplace team practices, Mike explains how rituals can reduce anxiety, create belonging, and add meaning to relationships and family life. Mike and Sri also explore the line between habits (get it done) and rituals (it matters how it's done).Some of the examples Mike cites will shock you. Others will melt your heart. Michael Norton is author of the book The Ritual Effect (highly recommended). Visit michaelnorton.com to take the fun and insightful quiz on your own rituals. ___________Key takeawaysAnything can become a “totem.” Objects (a binder, a pen, a mug) can anchor confidence and readiness.  Rituals are a belonging engine: doing something in sync (even a made-up stomp/clap) bonds groups fast.  Top-down rituals can backfire—but even shared “eye-roll unity” can create camaraderie (sometimes against the boss

The farmhouse had been in her family for decades, long enough that nothing about it felt temporary — or questioned. Strange moments were treated like family traits: sounds without sources, instincts that proved correct, feelings no one bothered to explain. When she approached thirteen, those quiet oddities sharpened into something undeniable.What began as a presence in an upstairs bedroom became a series of encounters that followed no clear rules — a watcher that observed, a hostile figure that guarded, and a space outside the house that provoked panic without warning. Objects appeared where they shouldn't. Voices spoke only once. And her body reacted to places long before she learned their histories.This isn't a story about a haunted house.

When a remote plantation home became overrun with unexplained activity, that question stopped being theoretical. Strange figures appeared in rooms. Objects moved on their own. Disembodied voices were heard in the night. Dark presences were seen crossing the property and vanishing into nearby buildings. And multiple members of the same family began experiencing the same manifestations.For Eric Davis, what seemed like a paranormal haunting quickly became personal.As the activity intensified, it began affecting his marriage, his daughter, and his own mind. What started as curiosity turned into fear — and eventually into the realization that this wasn't a ghost story at all, but a spiritual battle playing out in real time.In this powerful conversation, Eric shares how familiar spirits masqueraded as “hauntings,” how demonic activity followed him across multiple homes, and how he was forced to confront the biblical reality behind what most people label as paranormal. His story exposes what really happens when spiritual doors are opened — and how true freedom only comes through the authority of Jesus.--------------LINK FOR ERIC'S BOOK DELIVERANCE AT SPRINGHILL PLANTATION: https://amzn.to/4t0qbIqLINK TO THE PRAYER OF FREEDOM BOOK BY BEATTY CARMICHAEL (mentioned in this episode) https://amzn.to/4pYGVgMLINK TO ORBIS MINISTRIES (mentioned in this episode for prayer and deliverance): https://orbisministries.org/---------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

The latest talk hosted by the Old Kilfarboy Society takes place this evening,Tuesday, 10th of February. The event will be held at the community centre in Miltown Malbay and is titled Memories and Memorabilia: Telling GAA Stories Through Objects. The guest speaker is Siobhán Doyle, author of History of the GAA in 100 Objects. To find out more., Siobhán joined Alan Morrissey in studio on Tuesday's Morning Focus.

How do we place a value on the things we keep and pass down? Objects can be timeless and multi-generational or they can be a burden to bear. Jack Russell Weinstein and his guest, Wellesley philosophy professor Erich Hatala Matthes explore the question, why should we save for posterity?

By the time Alex learned to stop reacting, the habit was already ingrained.Strange moments had followed since childhood — never dramatic enough to demand answers, never harmless enough to ignore. Objects moved without reason. Sounds arrived too close to be accidental. Animals noticed first. Places felt wrong before anything happened.What unsettled Alex wasn't the events themselves, but the pattern behind them. Things escalated when acknowledged. They lingered when confronted. And they withdrew when ignored.From basements to empty malls, warehouses to quiet homes, the same rule applied: whatever was present responded to attention. Not fear. Not belief.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 16In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into groundbreaking revelations about Europa's ice shell, explore new evidence for the existence of a potential Planet Nine, and discuss a significant advancement in quantum physics that challenges the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.Europa's Ice Shell Thickness RevealedData from NASA's Juno mission has provided the first insights into the thickness of Europa's icy crust, estimating it to be around 29 kilometers. This measurement comes from Juno's 2022 flyby, where the spacecraft utilized its microwave radiometer to analyze the moon's surface temperature and characteristics. The findings suggest that beneath this thick ice lies a global ocean of liquid water, potentially harboring the ingredients necessary for life. Understanding the ice shell's structure is crucial for future missions, including NASA's Europa Clipper, set to arrive in 2030.The Case for Planet NineA new study published in Nature Astronomy presents fresh simulations suggesting that wide-orbit planets, like the hypothesized Planet Nine, could be a natural outcome of chaotic early planetary systems. Researchers found that during turbulent phases of stellar formation, planets can be flung into distant orbits rather than being ejected entirely. This work offers a 40% chance that a Planet Nine-like object exists, providing a promising avenue for future exploration as telescopes become more capable of surveying the distant solar system.Advancements in Quantum PhysicsIn a remarkable breakthrough, physicists have demonstrated a method to sidestep the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, allowing for simultaneous precise measurements of a particle's position and momentum. This innovative approach, detailed in Science Advances, could pave the way for ultra-precise sensor technologies across various fields, including navigation and astronomy. The study redefines the boundaries of quantum measurement, offering new possibilities for scientific exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature AstronomyScience AdvancesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Ep 54 - Paranormal explorations of Drugs and Demonic Influence, Negative Near Death Experiences (NDEs), & the megalithic underground structure at Khara Khora.Welcome to episode 54 of The Paranormal Rundown! We have a small crew this time, just Vic, David, and Randy, but we have some wide ranging discussion! We consider the possibility of drugs and alcohol creating a vulnerability to Demonic Influence, Negative Near Death Experiences, AI and the components of Consciousness, and finish with a trip to Khara Khora, an ancient underground structure made with massive megalithic stones. Along the way we explore Evidence of an Afterlife, Purgatory and Limbo, Reincarnation and the Veil of Forgetfulness, Exploding Head Syndrome, the Animist View of Spirits of Objects, the Brain as a Receiver of Consciousness, the discoveries below the Giza Plateau, and much more. We even take on a detailed analysis of the voices Vic hears in his head at bedtime!We also would like to apologize for the delay getting the episode out this week. Vic was going to try to make this our first video episode, but alas, Adobe had other ideas. Needless to say, we have been besieged by a series of technical gremlins! We promise to do our very best to make it up to you next episode, where we will have return guest Sylvia Shults, what a treat!The poll on Spotify this week is about how many topics you think should Vic bring up when he spins the wheel. Right now we do 6, but David has a horrible memory and is trying to get it reduced to 4.

We played a round of the Bobby Feud. Can you name the Top 10 places that you have to wait in line? It gets heated as there is some controversy after some answers. Lunchbox had a really hard time reading a word in a commercial. We all share what the hardest part of our job in radio is that most people have no idea about. Bobby shared a story of a kid getting an unusual object in their nose and we hear from more parent horror stories of how they ended up in the ER with their children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He doesn't remember a life without it.The first experience came early — too early to fully understand, but not too early to feel. A hallway. A bedroom. A new blue teddy bear placed into a child's world still learning what was real and what wasn't. Then a voice where there shouldn't have been one.Fear came first. Then familiarity. What frightened him became something he couldn't be without.Years passed. Decades, even. He moved away, grew older, built a life — and eventually returned to the same area, closer than he ever expected to where it all began. The bear was long gone, but the sense of openness never closed. Objects still vanish. Moments still shift. The feeling of something unseen moving just beyond understanding remains constant.#RealGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedChildhood #TrueGhostStory #Unexplained #SpiritualAwakening #LifelongHaunting #GhostPodcast #RealEncounters Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOFew objects have earned a reputation quite like Robert the Doll.Given as a gift in 1904 to a young boy named Robert Eugene Otto, the doll quickly became something far more unsettling than a childhood toy. The bond between the two was intense—and before long, strange things began happening inside their home. Voices were heard. Objects moved. Blame was often placed on Robert, though no one else ever saw him act.Over time, stories grew darker. Some believe a malevolent presence attached itself to the doll, one that never left. More than a century later, Robert still draws fear, fascination, and warnings from those who encounter him.Now housed at Fort East Martello Museum, reports of strange activity continue—especially from those who ignore the rules or mock the doll.We explore Robert's history and ongoing legend with dolltender Dan Radomski, and why this object remains one of the most feared in the world.Get more information about the Robert the Doll Experience in Key West at ghostkeywest.com#TheGraveTalks #RobertTheDoll #HauntedObjects #CursedArtifacts #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #KeyWestHaunting #Hauntings #MuseumOfTheUnseen #HauntedDollLove real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOAs a child, Bob Cranmer felt an unexplainable pull toward a massive, unsettling house on Brownsville Road outside Pittsburgh. It wasn't curiosity—it was fixation. Years later, that same house became his family's home, turning a lifelong obsession into a waking nightmare.What began as minor disturbances quickly escalated into violent, terrifying activity. Objects moved with intent. Dark presences filled the halls. The house seemed aware of its occupants—and hostile toward them. As the phenomena intensified, the focus shifted toward Bob's young son, making it clear this was more than a haunting. Something darker had taken hold.Bob shares the true events that inspired his book, The Demon of Brownsville Road. He details the house's disturbing history, the emotional toll on his family, and the moment he realized they were facing demonic forces. When traditional explanations failed, Bob turned to faith, ultimately involving the Catholic Church in a desperate effort to protect his home and family.This is not a story of restless spirits—it's a chilling account of obsession, attachment, and a presence that never intended to remain hidden.#TheGraveTalks #BobCranmer #DemonOfBrownsvilleRoad #TrueHaunting #DemonicHaunting #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #Exorcism #RealParanormal #DarkHistoryLove real ghost stories?

Sam never believed he was living in a haunted place—until the house behind his own started feeling occupied in a way he couldn't explain. He rented a small unit behind an older couple's home, where children with medical needs were sometimes cared for during short stays. The sounds, the late nights, the unfamiliar rhythms all made sense… until one winter, when those visits stopped.That's when the house began to feel different. Not louder. Not scarier. Just aware.Sam started waking up at the same time every night. Objects shifted. Subtle sounds moved where no footsteps should be. And then came the laughter—soft, unmistakably young, and impossible to explain away. What followed wasn't fear, but something harder to name: the sense that whatever remained wasn't trying to frighten anyone… just to be noticed.#QuietHaunting #SubtleParanormal #UnseenPresence #GhostlyLaughter #WhenAHouseFeelsAware #LingeringSpirits #UnexplainedEncounters #GentleHaunting #ParanormalStories #SomethingStillThere Love real ghost stories?

Stationed near Oxford during the height of the 2020 lockdown, a military couple struggled with isolation, opposite work schedules, and sleepless nights. Alone in the house for long stretches, she began noticing strange activity — always centered around the same corner of the living room.When her dog growled and her cat reacted to something unseen, she spoke directly to the presence, setting rules and boundaries. The response came swiftly and unmistakably.Objects moved with purpose. Electronics reacted as if correcting behavior. And one morning, a clear letter appeared on her husband's back — a mark neither of them could explain, but everyone else immediately recognized.Years later, the activity has returned, now communicating through a flickering lamp at the same hour each night. Whatever lives there doesn't feel hostile… but it does feel aware.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #MilitaryParanormal #HauntedOverseas #LockdownHaunting #SpiritCommunication #ParanormalPets #WitchingHour #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedMarksLove real ghost stories?

Chad Hayes and his brother Carey wrote The Conjuring—a film with no sex, no blood, and two Christians as the heroes. It became one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time. What most people don't know is that the supernatural events didn't stop when the cameras turned off. Strange voices interrupted phone calls with Lorraine Warren. Objects moved on their own in the artifacts room. Chad's son fled the set after something started operating by itself in the dark. And that was just the beginning.In this episode, Chad shares what Lorraine Warren was really like, the moment on set when she walked up to a crew member and knew exactly what was tormenting him, and why he's spent the last two decades chasing true stories of demonic confrontation, from a possessed man chained to a wall in India to the haunted LaLaurie House in New Orleans where something pounded on a grown man's chest in the middle of the night. Chad opens up about all of it, plus his upcoming projects, why he believes the best horror movies are really love stories, and why he only tells stories where the devil loses.

Chris grew up knowing his family wasn't alone in their home. For decades, there had been signs—small, quiet things that never felt threatening, just present. Cupboards left open. Objects subtly moved. Sounds that didn't belong to the house itself. And occasionally, a feeling that someone was nearby, watching without interfering.Everyone in the family knew about her. An older woman, tied to the house, who seemed to keep her own rules and routines. She wasn't something they talked about often—but she was understood.What unsettled Chris wasn't her presence. It was what existed alongside it.The house carried a heavier history too—one marked by addiction, despair, and places no one liked to go alone.
