Step right up—if you dare—for a chilling ride through two of America's most haunted amusement parks. In this episode, we explore the eerie legends and ghostly encounters tied to Chippewa Lake Amusement Park in Ohio and Sylvan Beach Amusement Park in New York.Abandoned for decades, Chippewa Lake is a rusting graveyard of forgotten rides and lingering spirits. Locals speak of phantom music coming from the demolished dance hall and the sound of a rollercoaster that hasn't ran in almost 50 years. Meanwhile, Sylvan Beach remains open to thrill-seekers—but its century-old carousel and historic buildings come with paranormal baggage. Visitors and employees alike have reported flickering lights, unexplained footsteps, and the spectral sightings of past employees and the ghost of a little girl. So come one, come all. This is one ride you won't forget.Get your tickets to the Haunted America Conference!The Witches Familiar Etsy PageChippewa Lake - WikipediaIdea Stream - The Ohio NewsroomChippewa Lake Ohio Historical SocietyCarousel of Chaos - 12 Bizarre Facts about Chippewa Lake ParkOmarGoshTV YouTubeMVL #175 Sylvan Beach Part 1of 2MVL #175 Sylvan Beach Part 2 of 2You can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Welcome to an Ope, A Ghost Book Club Mini Episode. In another foray into fiction, we read Darcy Coates's The Haunting of Rookward House (2020). Meet Guy, a man looking to escape his hometown after becoming the community pariah. His luck seems to have changed when he finds the deed to a forgotten house in his mother's attic. This is his chance: fix up the old mansion, sell it for a quick profit, and use the money to move away. Sounds easy, but the ghost of a deranged and jealous stalker has other plans, including keeping Guy all to herself. What a fun book! We highly recommend this one. We're sure you'll love it as much as we did.You can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Welcome to another Unrelated Ghosts episode where we dive into two locations that have nothing in common with one another. Nothing except that they're both haunted, of course. First, we'll stop in the quaint town of Felicity, Ohio and visit the Broadwell Funeral Home. The current owner purchased the property with the intent to remodel it to move it, but after several paranormal occurrences, his wife left and has not stepped foot back into the house since. Visitors have experienced shadow people, disembodied voices, and poltergeist activity. Our second stop takes us to the oldest operating restaurant in the U.S.: the White Horse Tavern in Newport, RI. The building is verging on being 400 years old which might explain why the ghosts include a colonial patron, a spirit known as “the guardian,” and the ghost of Rebecca Cornell who convicted her supposed killer from beyond the grave!

Unlocking the Power of Automation for Insurance ProfessionalsIn a recent episode of the Insurance Business Babes podcast, host Kathe Kline sat down with automation expert OpeYemi Sanusi to explore how automating everyday business tasks can be a total game changer—especially for insurance professionals and agency owners who want to free up their time and focus on client relationships.Why Automate? The True Cost of Manual TasksKathe opened up about her own experience running an active Facebook group, explaining how time-consuming it was to manually process new member requests and collect data. Like many insurance agents, she realized she was spending valuable hours on low-impact work that could easily be handed off—if not to a virtual assistant, then even better, to a well-built automation! As Ope emphasized, whenever you notice a repetitive task “stresses you out or takes time from your day,” it's a good candidate for automation.Common Automation Opportunities in InsuranceThe conversation revealed just how many time-consuming processes can be streamlined. Here are some top contenders:Lead Management: From collecting and qualifying incoming leads based on client needs (e.g., prioritizing high-value Medicare supplement prospects), to logging details automatically in your CRM.Appointment Follow-Ups: Automating reminders and documents like scope of appointment forms, ensuring compliance requirements are met without manual checking.Client Communication: Sending out personalized birthday cards, renewal reminders, or even thank you gifts at the click of a button.Data Entry and Compliance: Creating easy workflows to file signed documents, cross-check directories for compliance, and flag potential issues, freeing you from administrative headaches.Custom Automation: Small Businesses Can Benefit TooOpe pointed out that automation isn't just for huge corporations. Solving small business problems—like auto-filling spreadsheets with storage facility contact details, or scraping podcast emails for outreach—are all fair game. Even better, once these processes are set up, they save both time and money for years to come.Getting Started with AutomationBoth Kathe and Ope agree: you don't need to be a tech wizard to benefit from automation, especially if you start with expert help. By automating the busywork, insurance agents are empowered to focus on what matters most—building relationships and growing their businesses.Ready to reclaim your time? Take a cue from this episode—identify your most repetitive tasks, and start imagining what an automated future could look like for your agency!You can reach the guest, Ope Sanusi, via email at: opeyemisanusi@gmail.comThis episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Yin Chen, CEO and Chairman at Greenworks, a supplier of battery-powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) since 2003. With over 20 years at the forefront of home, yard, and do-it-yourself electric tools, Greenworks is redefining durability and eco-friendliness in the face of climate challenges, delivering high performance equipment focused on reducing carbon footprints.Ted and Yin discuss his background briefly, studying mechanical engineering at China's Donghua University, and business at Warwick University in the UK. He shares humble beginnings of Greenworks, recalling a meeting with one of their first clients placing a modified bike battery on the table, noting that it would be the centerpiece of all their applications. Fast forward, Greenworks now has more than 7,000 employees and manufacturing facilities in China, the U.S. and Vietnam, and offers everything from riding lawn mowers to snow removal tools and pressure washers – all powered by batteries. Yin shares his outlook on how Greenworks has shifted the narrative, and landscapers are now embracing battery power because it is in their best interest. Environmental benefits aside, Greenworks products improve workers' day-to-day well-being. As they engage with the cleaner battery-powered technology, landscape professionals can now focus more on their tasks without the negative side effects of inhaling toxic fumes.Yin also highlights Greenworks Optimus line of OPE, which was previously focused around the residential sector, but now focused on developing new products and comprehensive solutions for the commercial sector. The research and development, product testing, manufacturing, and customer service for the commercial equipment is being done at the Greenworks Commercial Center of Excellence in Morristown, Tennessee, ushering Greenworks Commercial into a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable manufacturing future here in the US.

Once again, it's time to hit the road on another Haunted Road Trip. This time we're headed to the Gateway to the West: St. Louis, Missouri. In this chilling episode, we dive into two of St. Louis' most haunted landmarks: the Powell Symphony Hall and the Lehmann House. As one of the oldest and most beloved venues in the city, Powell Hall has also been a stage for eerie paranormal occurrences.  We'll meet the ghost of a mysterious man in white who sports a magnificent handlebar mustache and an apparition known as George. Our next stop will be the Lehmann House located in the heart of Lafayette Square in the historic district. Lehmann House is an imposing Victorian that's both hauntingly beautiful and just plain haunted. Stay long enough and you'll hear voices in the other room and the sound of footsteps. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of the previous owners who also sports a magnificent mustache: Edward Rowse.

What happened at Fox Hollow Farm where Herb Baumeister allegedly murdered at least 11 men. In this special episode, we look at The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm: Unraveling the History and Hauntings of a Serial Killer's Home by Richard Estep with Robert Graves. The book is a chilling account that's part history, part true crime, and part paranormal investigation that's as captivating as it is terrifying. It's unclear exactly what went on at Fox Hollow, but a grim collection of more than 10,000 bones suggests it was an unspeakable evil. Though this episode concentrates mostly on Estep's book, we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up the four-part docuseries now streaming on Hulu: The Fox Hollow Murders. Though the series focuses on the true crime aspect, we think you'll be stunned and  mesmerized by the testimony of the one victim who got away. Did we mention that we have our own theories?

The story begins with a man witnessing an execution. That man was Thomas Whaley who, not long after, moves from his home in New York to San Diego, buys the land where the execution occurred, and builds a house on the spot where the gallows once stood. That house is now known as the Whaley House. The Whaley story is one full of heart wrenching tragedy and just plain bad luck. As you might have guessed, the story is full of both history and ghosts. Today, the house endures as a museum to the past and as one of San Diego's most prominent paranormal hotspots.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In today's episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with January's unexpected inflation surge to 3% that has rattled financial markets and diminished hopes for early Fed rate cuts. The Consumer Price Index showed significant increases across multiple sectors, with egg prices jumping 15.2% in a single month due to ongoing avian flu outbreaks. These developments have triggered widespread market adjustments and raised concerns about persistent inflation pressures.The tech world continues to watch the escalating battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI, with Musk offering to withdraw his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm if the company halts its for-profit transition.

Send us a textIt's the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are a time for friends and family, gifts under the tree, and sugarplum dreams unless, of course, you're on the naughty list. If that's the case, you might be called on by one of these Christmas Cryptids from folklore. While good boys and girls get a visit from the Jolly Old Elf himself, naughty children get a visit from Gryla, the ogress with an appetite for naughty children. If cute and cuddly is your thing, you might want to turn back now. According to Icelandic tradition, children who did their chores would receive new clothes for Christmas. On Christmas night, the enormous Yule Cat would visit and peer in windows to see who was wearing their new Christmas clothes. If you had none, you became dinner. Hear about all of these and more on this special Christmas episode. Merry Christm . . . uh . . .

Send us a textThese colleges aren't lacking in school spirit. In fact, spirit is exactly what they have. Pack up your books, and let's head to class at these two haunted colleges. First, we'll enroll at Bowdoin College, but we're not heading to class just yet. First, we'll stop off at the haunted basement of Coles Tower.
