Tonight's guest, Dan Schmidt, was born and raised in Southern Minnesota. When Dan was growing up there, he had what could very easily be the most frightening Dogman encounter that's ever been shared on the show. You see, when he was 9-years-old, Dan and his cousin spent the night at his grandma and grandpa's farm, during winter break. The encounter happened the first night Dan and his cousin were there. When it happened, Dan was laying on the couch, in the living room and his cousin was laying on a make-shift bed his grandma had made, on the living room floor. Some time between 1 and 2 AM, Dan was awoken by a noise. Dan realized that it was the sound of the latch on the door to the back porch, of the house, being worked. Then, he heard that door being opened. Next, he heard slow, heavy footsteps walking across the back porch toward the back door of the house. When he heard those footsteps coming toward the back door, he looked at the back door. To his dismay, he then saw its doorknob turn and then the back door slowly open. What happened next was much more than most people would ever be able to handle. He watched a Werewolf walk into the house.

Looking for a Christmas horror story that hits like a slasher, moves like a thriller, and burns like a nightmare? This week on Weekly Spooky, the holidays turn deadly in the Strickfield universe when a toxic chemical crash on a snowy Ohio highway ignites neon green fire—and something comes shambling out of it.Detective Chantel Devereux thinks the worst is over… until the “accident” echoes into the next year and the body count starts climbing in ways that don't make sense—melted flesh, missing corpses, and a horror that refuses to stay buried. Meanwhile, Raigen—known to the press as the Angel of Death—is trying to keep her secret and survive the season… but when the killings circle closer to home, she and Chester are forced into a desperate hunt through holiday-lit streets and high school hallways to stop a chemically mutated monster before Christmas becomes a funeral. Inside this episode:Holiday horror in Ohio snow with radio-suspense pacing and brutal surprisesA serial killer protagonist with rules… and a family who can't know the truth A mutant chemical creature that melts what it touches—and keeps coming Twins, teen rivalry, and Christmas weekend tension that snaps into violence If you want scary Christmas stories with mature themes, a fast plot, and a finale that punches hard—hit play… and tell me: would you still go home for Christmas if you knew something followed you out of the snow?An Angel of Death Christmas — by Rob Fields
In this final episode of 2025, I'm sharing something deeply personal - my relationship with anger, where it came from, and how I've worked to change it. This is one of the most vulnerable solo episodes I've ever recorded, because anger is a feeling so many of us carry quietly, especially in parenthood. This episode is for the parent who feels ashamed after snapping. For the one who feels tense all the time. For the one who is scared they might repeat what they grew up with. Your anger does not make you a bad parent. It makes you human. And change is possible. I discuss: ✔️ How anger showed up in my early life and why it became my default response ✔️ The moment with our puppy that forced me to see my patterns clearly ✔️ How stress, trauma, and burnout can pull old reactions back to the surface ✔️ What I learned through coaching, therapy, and eventually EMDR ✔️ How this work changed my nervous system, my parenting, and my day-to-day mindset ✔️ The brain science behind anger and why your body reacts before your thoughts do ✔️ What often sits underneath explosive reactions ✔️ How your window of tolerance affects everything ✔️ The real tools I use when I feel overwhelmed ✔️ How I teach my kids that feelings are allowed, but hurtful behavior is not 00:00 Scary parents are scared parents01:10 Why anger shows up in parenting02:49 When anger becomes a problem, not a protector03:09 The moment I knew I had to change05:44 Trauma, motherhood, and why anger came back06:59 How therapy helped me find peace08:48 Fear, the nervous system, and the science of anger10:59 Breaking the cycle while raising kids12:14 Tools to handle anger in the moment14:13 Teaching kids that feelings are ok, harmful behavior is not17:03 Repair, progress, and modeling growth19:48 When to seek support and why it matters21:41 You are not broken, change is possible Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Even in this “season of plenty,” many of us carry a quiet sense of not enough — not enough time, energy, money, or headspace. In today's episode, I share why scarcity shows up more strongly this time of year, how it subtly influences our decisions, and why judging ourselves only makes it heavier. We'll explore: Why the holidays can amplify feelings of lack The subtle ways scarcity shows up in our thoughts and choices How to lean into curiosity and self-compassion instead of criticism Practical ways to notice misalignment and make grounded choices ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

Sonya lives in Western Pennsylvania, just outside the town of Johnstown. When Sonya was 12 years old, she went for a walk in the woods, at a place called Buttermilk Falls, with her father and one of her father's friends.

It collects.Bundle up and hit play for a bleak, gritty, supernatural holiday nightmare packed with bad luck, blood money, and the kind of Christmas magic you don't survive twice.Black Christmas by Rodri GoInstagram: @unhappy_storieswww.unhappystories.net

Send us a textA packed hallway at the ACNM Annual Meeting turned into the perfect backdrop for a clear, compassionate deep dive on adolescent gynecology. We talk candidly about what really helps teens feel safe in care: transparent consent, real confidentiality, and avoiding unnecessary pelvic exams. From there, we walk through the high-yield topics every clinician faces with young patients—irregular cycles after menarche, painful periods that derail school days, and the difference between normal discharge and vaginitis that needs treatment.We spotlight the red flags that can't be missed, especially ovarian torsion posing as vague lower abdominal pain, and why transabdominal ultrasound often beats transvaginal imaging for adolescents. You'll hear how we build a thorough menstrual history that captures timing, flow, and impact on daily life; how we normalize the maturing hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis; and where first-line therapies like NSAIDs, combined pills, progestin-only methods, and levonorgestrel IUDs fit. We also lay out a patient-led approach to contraception counseling—centered on goals like bleeding control, privacy, and ease of use—while weaving in emergency contraception, STI screening strategies, and the crucial role of the HPV vaccine in preventing cervical and other cancers.Throughout, we keep the focus on trauma-informed practice. That means offering safe words like stop and out during exams, letting teens handle instruments to reduce fear, and moving complex conversations to when patients are fully dressed. We include considerations for transgender and gender-diverse adolescents, from menstrual suppression to reputable clinical resources. By combining practical tools with a respectful tone, this episode gives you a roadmap to adolescent gyn that improves comfort, detects danger early, and builds trust that lasts into adulthood.If this conversation helps you care for teens with more confidence, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

When tonight's guest, Wiley Biro, had his first Dogman Encounter, he was at a boulder field, called “Devil's Half Acre,” close to his parent's home near Hillsborough, New Jersey. He was in a bad state of mind, due to him breaking up with his girlfriend. Due to how sudden the break-up was, Wiley was extremely frustrated and out of sorts. That's why he had gone to Devil's Half Acre in the first place. Not long after getting there, something happened that immediately took his mind off of the break-up. The next thing Wiley knew, he was running for his life, or so he thought. What happened to him terrified him more than any experience he's had before that night or since. What happened that night? What did the Dogman do to Wiley? We hope you'll tune in and find out.If you have an employment opportunity for Wiley you'd like to speak with him about or know of one he might be interested in, please contact him via his Facebook profile…https://www.facebook.com/wiley.t.biroMY NEW DOGMAN PODCAST!My new podcast is called "Dogman Tales.” It features fictional stories about Dogmen and people who have experiences with them.

The story of Bluebeard has a mostly happy ending, with the killer's newest bride being rescued in the nick of time by her brothers. Good for her, less good for his previous wives, who she'd discovered hanging on hooks from the walls of a bloody closet. There are countless real-life stories of spouses being killed for money, with no muscular siblings breaking down the door with swords in hand. It's much rarer for a killer to make victims of multiple spouses, but the central character in this week's story had the spirit of Bluebeard in his heart, a man who would try to make a career from killing his wives for profit.Sources: Fatal Charm, Carlton SmithA Rose For Her Grave, Ann Rulehttps://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/shes-got-her-name-back-teenager-murdered-in-1977-finally-identified-with-new-dna-technique-and-genetic-genealogy/Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.

Wiley Brio grew up playing in the woods, as a kid. After he graduated high school, he attended a survival school. He's also worked as a wildland forest firefighter and he worked as an arborist for years. If you're getting the impression that Wiley loves being in the woods, your instincts are serving you well. Due to all the time Wiley has spent in the woods, he's had Sasquatch sightings and some interesting experiences that didn't have him seeing a Sasquatch but they interacted with him, nonetheless. On tonight's show, Wiley will be diving deep into his experiences with you. We hope you'll listen to him do that.If you've had a Sasquatch experience you'd like to speak with Wiley about, please contact him through his Facebook profile.

Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges.
