Across five decades and three continents, killers have handed police the same explanation for the bodies they left behind – a demon made them do it. Can demonic possession be blamed for murder, or is it just the ultimate excuse for the inexcusable?EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/DevilInTheMirrorREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8pumw8FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: From serial killers to seemingly ordinary individuals, a chilling phenomenon emerges as criminals claim demonic possession drove them to commit unspeakable acts. These disturbing cases, spanning decades and continents, blur the lines between evil and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the true nature of their heinous crimes. From the infamous Son of Sam to a father who claimed demonic voices compelled him to murder his own child, we'll explore some of these cases and let you decide if the devil made them do it. (Demonic Crimes) *** The Rose family lived comfortably in the picturesque Pleasant Valley in the late 1800s. However, oldest daughter Ceely's unrequited love for a neighbor boy led to a series of chilling events. Her obsession turned deadly, leading not only to death, but to a ghostly presence as well. (Love, Poison, and Ghosts – The Case of Ceely Rose) *** In the wild era of the 1920s and 1930s, organized crime flourished in the United States, with hitmen like the mysterious "Buster from Chicago" making a name for themselves. Known for his ruthless efficiency and chilling calm, Buster was responsible for many high-profile mob hits during the violent Castellammarese War. But who was Buster? (The Enigmatic Hitman, Buster From Chicago) *** In July 1993, 26-year-old Kristin Ann set out for her morning jog, but her run ended in a horrifying, fatal attack. The shocking crime has left her grieving family and community outraged and seeking justice. (The Murder of Kristin Ann) *** Imagine falling asleep on your usual train ride home, only to wake up at a mysterious, strikingly-white colored station with no way to leave. You encounter a strange child-like figure who warns you that this place is "one step before death." This is the eerie reality of Hitsuka Station, a ghostly train stop in Japan that traps unsuspecting passengers.

Increase to bring Dutchess closer to neighbors There are 65 pre-K special-needs children in the Beacon City School District. But there are no physical therapists in Dutchess County who contract with the agencies that provide services for them. If a pre-K special education student in the district needs physical therapy, a parent or guardian must travel to Highland, across the river in Ulster County. "That is a barrier for many of our families," said Heather Chadwell Dennis, the assistant superintendent of pupil personnel services for the Beacon district. Dutchess County legislators voted unanimously on Monday (Aug. 10) to increase pay for preschool special education providers, a move meant to address the shortage. While public school districts in New York state coordinate services such as speech, occupational or physical therapy for special-needs students age 3 and up, the agencies or individuals who provide the services are contracted with and paid by the county where they work. The pay rate for providers in Dutchess — $60 for a typical half-hour session — has lagged for years behind neighboring counties (Ulster pays $80), leading providers to take better-paying opportunities elsewhere. The Legislature's vote increases the rate to $80 per half hour. "It's investing in our community and our kids," said Yvette Valdés Smith, the chair of the Legislature, whose district includes Ward 4 in Beacon. The increase will now go to County Executive Sue Serino for her signature. If she enacts the change, it will be retroactive to July 1. Sixty percent of the increased cost will be covered by the state. Another issue Chadwell Dennis has seen in Beacon is when a provider — who travels to the home, daycare facility or school to work with the child — only has time for one session when three children need services. In that case, the district will gather the children in a common space, such as a library, "because the provider can't get to three houses, but they can get to the library one time," she said. It's not an ideal scenario for the early-intervention services that educators say are critical for special-needs children to make gains in communication, thinking and social skills. The resolution was drafted by Legislator Emma Arnoff, who represents LaGrange, Pleasant Valley and Poughkeepsie and is the founder of The Sensory Space, a Poughkeepsie facility where children use sensory supports while participating in play therapy and psychotherapy. Superintendent Matt Landahl said during the Beacon school board's July 30 meeting that he was "elated" to see the increase on the table. Early intervention services for special-needs children provide "a life raft for families that are struggling with a really young child who is struggling," he said, calling it "a vitally important area" that has been overlooked.

On today's episode, I'm catching up with a veteran Workamper who has been RVing for the past eight years. She talks about her most recent job and travel experiences. I last interviewed Sherrie Hicks in September 2023. Today, she describes her recent Workamping experience at Sleepy Valley Resort in Mission, Texas. It is a lively, amenity-packed community that welcomes around 30 Workampers each winter. From early morning cleaning shifts that leave the rest of the day free to soak up the sunshine, to opportunities for couples and solo travelers alike, Sherrie paints a vivid picture of why Sleepy Valley might be your next great seasonal gig. She described the facility as a warm, welcoming and well-organized resort, which offers everything from a year-round pool and hot tub to a quilting room, social hall and pizza kitchen. Sherrie is a shining example of the freedom and flexibility Workamping can offer, especially for people looking to live purposefully while embracing travel. Her time at Sleepy Valley Resort in Mission, Texas, clearly left a lasting impression. Workampers there can choose from a variety of roles, such as morning cleaning, maintenance, pizza making, front desk assistance and more. Workamping there comes with a free full-hookup site and no utility expenses, though it’s a volunteer-only exchange with no hourly wage. Still, the manageable schedule and the potential for local part-time work – like the veterinary clinic job Sherrie picked up – make it a solid option for many. Solo travelers are welcome too, with a 24-hour weekly work requirement, while couples typically work 10 to 12 hours each. Beyond the job, Sherrie raved about the perks. Those include tip-sharing in the pizza kitchen, social cookouts, and coupons for free tacos and pizza. The management team is even open to scheduling extended time off so Workampers can visit family or plan adventures. This summer, Sherrie and her partner are heading north to work at 1880s Town in Midland, S.D., where they'll dress in period costumes and take part in reenactments, sell tickets and welcome tour groups. Over the years, Sherrie has also worked at Adventureland in Iowa, the Grand Canyon Conservancy, and even spent time traveling Route 66. Her glamping van – complete with a restroom, full kitchen and cozy sleeping area – has become her dream home on wheels. After trying everything from a school bus to a fifth wheel, Sherrie and her partner finally landed on something easy to set up, fuel-efficient, and perfectly suited for their nomadic lifestyle. If she had to start over, Sherrie said she wouldn't stay at one location for multiple seasons. Instead, she'd explore new places every year to take full advantage of the variety that Workamping has to offer. For those interested in Sleepy Valley Resort, Sherrie encourages prospective Workampers to apply by sending questions or resumes to info @ sleepyvalleyresort.com. More information is available at www.sleepyvalleyresort.com. With roles available year-round at both Sleepy Valley and its sister park, Pleasant Valley, there's plenty of opportunity to get involved. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News. Much more than just a job-listing website, when you put the tools of this professional service into action, you'll find out just how easy it can be to turn your Workamping dreams into reality. A Workamper membership opens the door to a one-stop-shop for all-things Workamping. Being the original resource for Workamping, you'll find the largest number of job listings, be able to connect with a community of Workampers, and view resources compiled by experts who have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for many years. If you're serious about leading a successful and enjoyable Workamping lifestyle, then membership is for you. Join today at www.workamper.com. Embark on new adventures today with the support of Workamper News behind you! That's all for this week's show. Next time, I will be speaking with an employer from Kentucky who is looking for Workampers in 2026 to work at their family-owned RV park. I'll have details on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thanks for listening!

Can demonic possession be blamed for murder, or is it just the ultimate excuse for the inexcusable?Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: From serial killers to seemingly ordinary individuals, a chilling phenomenon emerges as criminals claim demonic possession drove them to commit unspeakable acts. These disturbing cases, spanning decades and continents, blur the lines between evil and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the true nature of their heinous crimes. From the infamous Son of Sam to a father who claimed demonic voices compelled him to murder his own child, we'll explore some of these cases and let you decide if the devil made them do it. (Demonic Crimes) *** The Rose family lived comfortably in the picturesque Pleasant Valley in the late 1800s. However, oldest daughter Ceely's unrequited love for a neighbor boy led to a series of chilling events. Her obsession turned deadly, leading not only to death, but to a ghostly presence as well. (Love, Poison, and Ghosts – The Case of Ceely Rose) *** In the wild era of the 1920s and 1930s, organized crime flourished in the United States, with hitmen like the mysterious "Buster from Chicago" making a name for themselves. Known for his ruthless efficiency and chilling calm, Buster was responsible for many high-profile mob hits during the violent Castellammarese War. But who was Buster? (The Enigmatic Hitman, Buster From Chicago) *** In July 1993, 26-year-old Kristin Ann set out for her morning jog, but her run ended in a horrifying, fatal attack. The shocking crime has left her grieving family and community outraged and seeking justice. (The Murder of Kristin Ann) *** Imagine falling asleep on your usual train ride home, only to wake up at a mysterious, strikingly-white colored station with no way to leave.

This is a new kind of school, although there are 300 of them, worldwide, and they've been around since 2009. They help kids perform 1, 2, or even 3 grade levels ahead, and they teach kids to start their own businesses, start their own charities, write their own plays, or otherwise build something that matters to the public. They are very different.

Jacob McKnight is starting a brand new school, and he's also lived an incredible life. In this episode, I wanted to hear stories from his life--and what a shock! His two young daughters could have died. Not only that, if they lived, the chance that both would recover from what happened to them--nearly drowning--was under 4%. And yet...well, you'll just have to listen.Jacob also spent time in Iraq, and helped soldiers survive after they'd lost a lot of blood. We also discuss a little about his new school, which is an Acton Academy. We start with that, because that's his major professional goal, but what an Acton is, and how it's different, is our topic for December 10, 2024.For more information about Jacob's new Acton Academy in Pleasant Valley, MO, contact him at: https://www.originskc.com and heroicorigins@originskc.comOr use the QR code that is this episode's thumbnail.Or this: https://qrfy.io/r/KwAk6oDDHL(This episode was recorded Dec. 6, 2024.)

IN THIS EPISODE: From serial killers to seemingly ordinary individuals, a chilling phenomenon emerges as criminals claim demonic possession drove them to commit unspeakable acts. These disturbing cases, spanning decades and continents, blur the lines between evil and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the true nature of their heinous crimes. From the infamous Son of Sam to a father who claimed demonic voices compelled him to murder his own child, we'll explore some of these cases and let you decide if the devil made them do it. (Demonic Crimes) *** The Rose family lived comfortably in the picturesque Pleasant Valley in the late 1800s. However, oldest daughter Ceely's unrequited love for a neighbor boy led to a series of chilling events. Her obsession turned deadly, leading not only to death, but to a ghostly presence as well. (Love, Poison, and Ghosts – The Case of Ceely Rose) *** In the wild era of the 1920s and 1930s, organized crime flourished in the United States, with hitmen like the mysterious "Buster from Chicago" making a name for themselves. Known for his ruthless efficiency and chilling calm, Buster was responsible for many high-profile mob hits during the violent Castellammarese War. But who was Buster? (The Enigmatic Hitman, Buster From Chicago) *** In July 1993, 26-year-old Kristin Ann set out for her morning jog, but her run ended in a horrifying, fatal attack. The shocking crime has left her grieving family and community outraged and seeking justice. (The Murder of Kristin Ann) *** Imagine falling asleep on your usual train ride home, only to wake up at a mysterious, strikingly-white colored station with no way to leave. You encounter a strange child-like figure who warns you that this place is "one step before death." This is the eerie reality of Hitsuka Station, a ghostly train stop in Japan that traps unsuspecting passengers.
