Pete Droge is a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter based in Seattle, WA who rocketed to early stardom on the strength of his 1994 debut Necktie Second. The Los Angeles Times compared his songwriting to Bob Dylan and Neil Young while also earning similar praise from Rolling Stone and Boston Globe among many others, and within a year he was on the road supporting Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He has since released a series of well-received solo albums, composed a variety of works for film and television, and even appeared in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. Sixteen years ago, Pete Droge went looking for his birth mother; instead, he found her obituary. But rather than marking the end of the story, the discovery ultimately led him to reconnect with his surviving relatives and started a journey that would forever change his life and career. He explores it all with poetic grace on Fade Away Blue, a rich, revelatory sonic memoir that faces down doubt and despair with love, resilience, and commitment at every turn. The songs are bittersweet, balancing longing and gratitude in equal measure, and the arrangements are warm and inviting to match, with Droge's tender, comforting lyrics and easygoing, understated delivery.

This month, the Department of Health and Human Services terminated almost $500 million in mRNA vaccine development grants and contracts. While HHS has said that these cuts won't affect mRNA cancer research, some researchers have expressed concern about the impact on their ongoing work. In light of these developments, we're revisiting a conversation from February.A team at Memorial Sloan Kettering is developing an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer, which is notoriously difficult to treat. A few years ago, the team embarked on a small trial to test the vaccine's safety. Sixteen patients with pancreatic cancer received it, and half of them had a strong immune response. A follow-up study found that in six of those patients, the cancer hadn't relapsed after three years.Host Flora Lichtman spoke to study author Vinod Balachandran about the work, which has not yet been affected by the cuts, according to Memorial Sloan Kettering.Guest: Dr. Vinod Balachandran is an associate attending surgeon and Director of The Olayan Center for Cancer Vaccines at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, New York.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

The WorldView in 5 Minutes
Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives; Surge of young Brits trusting in God; 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies

The WorldView in 5 Minutes

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 21, 2025


It's Thursday, August 21st, A.D. 2025. 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 Jonathan Clark Muslims beat Christian convert and take his wife and six kids An Islamic teacher in Uganda, who converted to Christianity, suffered persecution from his own family recently. Thirty-nine-year old Wambuzi Maka Uthman was at a mosque earlier this month when he received a vision about repentance. On his way home, he met a pastor and learned about Jesus.  Uthman told Morning Star News, “I then understood that it was [Jesus] Who had sent me to my fellow Muslims to repent. … I was so happy beyond expectations as I developed a deeper love for Jesus.”  Uthman began telling his family and neighbors about the Gospel.  In response, his extended family beat him and destroyed his house.  While he received treatment at the hospital, his wife took their six children with her to live with relatives. Such persecution is common for Muslims who turn to Christ in Uganda.  In Luke 18:29-30, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” State Department: Human rights in United Kingdom have worsened Last Tuesday, the U.S. State Department released its “2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.” The report noted that the human rights situation in the United Kingdom worsened last year. For example, the U.K. restricts free speech near abortion mills. Citizens have faced arrest simply for silent prayer inside such “buffer zones.” = Lorcan Price with Alliance Defending Freedom International said, “It's plain to see that the censorship crisis is worsening in the UK – from citizens being arrested and prosecuted just for praying in their heads, to the Online Safety Act clamping down on free expression online.” Surge of young Brits trusting in God Speaking of England, the country is witnessing a surge in the number of young adults who believe in God.  A new YouGov poll found 37% of Brits, between the ages of 18 and 24, believe in God. That's up from 22% in 2019, and it's higher than any other age group.  A YouGov study from earlier this year found that young adults are also attending church more. Sixteen percent attend at least once per month now, up from 4% in 2018. 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies In the United States, the Trump administration is cutting federal funding to five northern Virginia school districts over their transgender bathroom policies, reports the Associated Press.  U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon  said the districts are “choosing to abide by woke gender ideology in place of federal law. … Today's accountability measures are necessary because they have stubbornly refused to provide a safe environment for young women in their schools.” Shockingly,  Life News reports that one of the school districts even arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls without their parents' knowledge.  Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives President Donald Trump gave a phone interview to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. Trump said he wants to save thousands of lives by helping to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He even said he hopes that will help him get to Heaven.  Listen.   TRUMP: “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty, I want to try and get to Heaven, if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” While some initially concluded that President Trump was revealing a physical health crisis when he said, “I hear I'm not doing well.”  It becomes clear that he is referring to his spiritual health Evangelist Franklin Graham responded on Facebook. He wrote, “We do get to Heaven by good works—not by our own good works, but by the perfect work of God's Son, Jesus Christ. … That's how one gets to Heaven—not by our good works, but by His.” In Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” In other words, no matter how many lives President Trump might save by helping to end the Russian-Ukrainian War, his lifesaving action will not save him from Hell.   He can only be assured of an eternal address in Heaven if he confesses his sins and trusts Jesus Christ as Savior. (Romans 10:9) Texas House passes Trump redistricting plan On Wednesday, the Texas House passed a new congressional map  that stands to boost Republicans' power in Congress, overcoming weeks of protests from Texas House Democrats who fled the state to stall a vote on the mid-cycle redistricting, reports the San Antonio Express-News. The new map, ordered up by President Donald Trump and endorsed by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, would wipe out five Democratic-held congressional districts in Austin, Dallas, Houston and South Texas. It passed the chamber, 88-52, along party lines. Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter, a Corpus Christi Republican and the bill's author, said, “The Supreme Court says we can use political partisanship to do congressional redistricting. We will push forward." The vote came after Republicans took extraordinary steps to push the bill over the finish line. On Monday, when dozens of quorum-busting Democrats returned to the Capitol in Austin, Republican House leadership refused to let them leave without state trooper escorts who would “ensure their return” for Wednesday's votes. On Wednesday, Democrats offered up a dozen amendments seeking to kill or amend the bill, all of which were unsuccessful. The map now heads to the Texas Senate, which is expected to quickly pass it, and then to Texas Governor Greg Abbott who will sign it.  Bible-based character education comes to 34 states And finally, a record number of students will receive Bible-based character education during public school hours this coming year. LifeWise Academy is providing the Bible programs under religious release time laws in 34 states. The ministry estimates it will serve nearly 100,000 students in the 2025-26 school year. Joel Penton is the CEO of LifeWise Academy. He said, “Demand for LifeWise is surging, and we couldn't be more excited to see families taking advantage of our programming, from urban areas to remote towns.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

It was spring break on Florida's Gulf Coast - sun, surf, and twenty-two college students crammed into a rental house along Panama City Beach.  Among them was 21 year old Reny Jose, a student from Rice University with a bright future ahead of him.   But on the night of March 3, 2014, Reny stepped out into the evening and was never seen again.  By the next morning, his friends reported him missing.  Most of his belongings were left neatly in his room.  His phone and some clothing turned up in a nearby trash bin, and more clothing was scattered by the beach. Sixteen of the students who had traveled with him quickly packed up and left town. What really happened in those missing hours?  Did Reny wander into the waves?  Was he the victim of foul play?  Or is there a darker truth hidden in the silence of his friends? This is the story of a young man who vanished during spring break in one of  America's most infamous party towns - and the questions that have haunted his family, and investigators, for more than a decade.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Clare, Virgin Lectionary: 413The Saint of the day is Saint Clare of AssisiSaint Clare of Assisi's Story One of the more sugary movies made about Francis of Assisi pictures Clare as a golden-haired beauty floating through sun-drenched fields, a sort of one-woman counterpart to the new Franciscan Order. The beginning of her religious life was indeed movie material. Having refused to marry at 15, Clare was moved by the dynamic preaching of Francis. He became her lifelong friend and spiritual guide. At 18, Clare escaped from her father's home one night, was met on the road by friars carrying torches, and in the poor little chapel called the Portiuncula received a rough woolen habit, exchanged her jeweled belt for a common rope with knots in it, and sacrificed her long tresses to Francis' scissors. He placed her in a Benedictine convent, which her father and uncles immediately stormed in rage. Clare clung to the altar of the church, threw aside her veil to show her cropped hair, and remained adamant. Sixteen days later her sister Agnes joined her. Others came. They lived a simple life of great poverty, austerity, and complete seclusion from the world, according to a Rule which Francis gave them as a Second Order. At age 21, Francis obliged Clare under obedience to accept the office of abbess, one she exercised until her death. hbspt.cta.load(465210, '696def14-21e8-4eb1-857d-6eca58078dc1', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"}); The Poor Ladies went barefoot, slept on the ground, ate no meat, and observed almost complete silence. Later Clare, like Francis, persuaded her sisters to moderate this rigor: “Our bodies are not made of brass.” The greatest emphasis, of course, was on gospel poverty. They possessed no property, even in common, subsisting on daily contributions. When even the pope tried to persuade Clare to mitigate this practice, she showed her characteristic firmness: “I need to be absolved from my sins, but I do not wish to be absolved from the obligation of following Jesus Christ.” Contemporary accounts glow with admiration of Clare’s life in the convent of San Damiano in Assisi. She served the sick and washed the feet of the begging nuns. She came from prayer, it was said, with her face so shining it dazzled those about her. She suffered serious illness for the last 27 years of her life. Her influence was such that popes, cardinals, and bishops often came to consult her—Clare herself never left the walls of San Damiano. Francis always remained her great friend and inspiration. Clare was always obedient to his will and to the great ideal of gospel life which he was making real. A well-known story concerns her prayer and trust. Clare had the Blessed Sacrament placed on the walls of the convent when it faced attack by invading Saracens. “Does it please you, O God, to deliver into the hands of these beasts the defenseless children I have nourished with your love? I beseech you, dear Lord, protect these whom I am now unable to protect.” To her sisters she said, “Don't be afraid. Trust in Jesus.” The Saracens fled. Reflection The 41 years of Clare's religious life are scenarios of sanctity: an indomitable resolve to lead the simple, literal gospel life as Francis taught her; courageous resistance to the ever-present pressure to dilute the ideal; a passion for poverty and humility; an ardent life of prayer; and a generous concern for her sisters.

We first fell in love with the film character Gramps and his anti-evolution hijinks when we watched GRAMPS GOES TO COLLEGE (2014), one of the most outrageous Christian films of all time. We knew we'd eventually explore the entire Gramps cinematic universe. We continue our journey with IN GRAMPS' SHOES, the confident first entry in this series, which, based on its morbid ending, does not feel like it's setting itself up for a sequel. Thankfully, writer Donald James Parker and director Chip Rosetti broke canon and persisted. Donald James Parker's work as Gramps could be compared to Jacques Tati's “Monsieur Hulot”: an archetypal clown character wandering through our overly complex modern society and exposing its foibles. In IN GRAMPS' SHOES, Gramps heals the broken modern nuclear family by moving into his adult daughter's house and making a positive male role model impression on her teenage son and daughter. Sixteen-year-old Scott has taken up smoking cigarettes, is curious about marijuana, and in general has a grumpy, antisocial teenage attitude that needs to be healed with Christ's love. Gramps challenges Scott and his teenage cohorts to a footrace, which Gramps clears spectacularly, given that his passion is long-distance running. This inspires the whole family to take up cross-country racing, culminating in a climactic scene where Scott wins his high school cross-country meet and the heart of a Christian runner girl on the team, who he secures as his prom date. But it wouldn't be a Gramps movie without hearing Gramps take aim at pop culture unrelated to the main events of the film; IN GRAMPS' SHOES chooses to attack the HARRY POTTER series of books and films, saying they are “bait” to lure kids away from the church and toward a life of witchcraft and wizardry.

She and Cindy have been bonded since birth by the fact their fathers are addicts, and their unsteady home lives are a little easier when they're together, sprawled on a trampoline with pilfered vodka and dreams of moving to New York.After an accident involving a bonfire and an aerosol canister sends Gertie to the hospital, she finds herself with nowhere to go but to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to live with her newly sober father. She sees it as a chance to escape the hometown drama she's caused, but drama finds her all the same: parties without curfews, boys without boundaries, a compromising photo, tragedy back home . . . and her father, once again teetering on the edge of oblivion. Terrified of the consequences of being honest with Cindy, her sole refuge is the fantasy novel she's writing, a portal to another world and the story of a young girl roaming a strange land, trusting her wits to survive.Years later, when ghosts of the past surface, Gertie decides to write again about that explosive summer from the stabler shores of adulthood. Powered by the fierce imagination of her youth, Gertie finally allows herself the grace to tell a version of her narrative that she always hoped would be true.Written with the feel and power of a ticking time bomb, Atomic Hearts is an unforgettable story of the ways we can be saved by friendship, love, and imagination.

Contracts Lecture Sixteen Contract Remedies: Expectation, Reliance, and Restitution Damages

In this insightful episode, we delve into the intricacies of contract remedies, a crucial topic for law students preparing for exams. Join us as we explore practical strategies, common pitfalls, and expert tips to help you excel in understanding and applying contract remedies. Whether you're a seasoned law student or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights to boost your exam performance. Tune in and empower your legal studies journey! What is the primary objective of expectation damages in contract law? The primary objective of expectation damages is to place the non-breaching party in the same financial position they would have been in had the contract been fully performed. It aims to deliver the "benefit of the bargain" that the injured party anticipated.Provide an example of how incidental damages might be calculated within an expectation damages claim. If a buyer breaches a contract for custom-made goods, the seller might incur incidental damages such as storage costs for the unfinished materials, or restocking fees if they return supplies. These are direct costs incurred due to the breach, beyond the value of the promised performance itself.Under what circumstances are reliance damages typically awarded instead of expectation damages? Reliance damages are typically awarded when expectation damages are too speculative or difficult to prove with reasonable certainty, such as in cases involving new businesses without a profit history. They are also appropriate when a contract is found to be unenforceable or in promissory estoppel cases.Explain the "backward-looking" nature of reliance damages. Reliance damages are "backward-looking" because they aim to restore the injured party to the position they were in before the contract was made. This is achieved by reimbursing them for the expenditures they incurred in reliance on the breaching party's promise.What is the main goal of restitution damages, and how does it differ from compensatory damages? The main goal of restitution damages is to prevent the breaching party from being unjustly enriched at the expense of the injured party. It differs from compensatory damages (like expectation or reliance) because it focuses on the gain of the defendant, rather than the loss of the plaintiff.Describe a situation where restitution damages would be particularly advantageous for the injured party. Restitution damages would be advantageous if the injured party conferred a significant benefit upon the breaching party, but calculating lost profits (expectation damages) is impossible or results in a very low figure. For instance, if a buyer paid a large advance for goods that were never delivered, and the market price of those goods dropped significantly, restitution of the advance payment would be more beneficial than expectation damages.What is specific performance, and when is it generally considered an appropriate remedy? Specific performance is an equitable remedy where a court orders the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations as originally agreed. It is generally considered appropriate only when monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, most commonly in contracts for unique goods or real estate.Explain the two-part test for determining the validity of a liquidated damages clause. For a liquidated damages clause to be valid (and not an unenforceable penalty), two elements must be met: first, the actual damages for that type of breach must have been difficult to measure at the time the contract was made; and second, the specified sum must have been a reasonable approximation of the likely actual damages at the time the contract was signed.How does the principle of "foreseeability" (from Hadley v. Baxendale) limit the recovery of damages? The principle of foreseeability limits damages to only those losses that were reasonably foreseeable to the breaching party at the time the contract w#LawExams #ContractRemedies #LegalEducation

Not only will it help you, but you will see that you are normal, and, most importantly, not alone.  *This episode is part of our husband-and-wife healing conversations series. These podcast episodes are recorded outside. We are husband and wife, Liz and Brian, and we are currently staying on the Greek island of Paros with our two young adult kids as part of our year-long trip away from New Zealand.  The episode starts with us walking to a busy cafe. We invite you to come along with us and have a coffee and a chat. I think you need to hear this. Kia kaha (stay strong), my brave friend. Liz and Brian x PS: If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, please do. You will be the first person I share everything with. I'd love to have you. Go here to join us.   I was beating myself up pretty badly in last week's behind-the-scenes outdoor podcast episode. I was frustrated and hurting. The thing is, I miraculously managed to get to be fifty-three years old without ever losing anyone significant in my life, so last year, when I lost both parents within a matter of months, I felt like I'd been thrown into the deep end of the murky waters of grief. As you know, there is no handbook for how to grieve. No guide, no nothing. And I didn't know how to do it. So I did what we all do, the only thing I knew how to do. I wiped my tears, stopped talking about it publicly, felt embarrassed if someone saw me with a tear-stained face and kept myself REALLY busy to hide the fact that I felt broken, lost and sinking in sadness. In short, I did what I had been programmed to do. I got on with it. Hoped that it would all go away and never ever come back as long as I lived. But now here I am. Sixteen months later. On this year-long trip. And, for the first time since my mum and dad died, I have time. Too much time, probably. And when you have lots of time and nothing to distract you, the feelings and emotions that have been pushed down into your toes bubble to the surface. And the result is what you heard last week in this podcast. Shame. Embarrassment. Resentment. Anger. Lost. I am learning now (still learning) that this outburst, this wave of "I hate myself-ness", was a cry for help. Because, like many of us who are grieving in a world that is too busy to stop, I didn't give myself the proper time. Or attention. I didn't know that grief is not just a "one-time-never-comes-back-emotion". That it needs to be honoured. Talked through. Given space.  And time. As much time as it takes. In this episode, Brian very patiently (god, I love this man) listens and advises while I remove the self-blame and shame veil. Remove it for all of us. This is what a healing journey looks like. This is grief. Showing up in the rawest, fullest, deepest, most desperately needing to be addressed kind of way. I hope you feel my love and know that my heart will always beat with yours. Stay strong, my darling friend. Yours Liz x And...if you're feeling really, really generous and have a few minutes to spare, it would be wonderful if you'd leave us a review.

“Creative director, curator, publisher, collector” and founder of Sixteen World Xavier Encinas joins me on the podcast for this episode. I'd argue you could also add great podcast guest because he pushes back against this idea that France is a great haven for independent film. As part of his Sixteen artistic venture, he curates the Sixteen Film Institute, with a new film weekly, mostly from around the world, not France. Let's not misstate his argument — he has nothing against French cinema, he lives there. He's planning film events in Paris for this Fall. He's saying, the world of filmmaking especially in Asia is just as exciting. I couldn't be more on board. If you haven't heard of the Sixteen Film Institute platform, you should — and cheers to the creatives making it happen for independent filmmakers. In this episode, we discuss:How he defines himself as an artist;Why he started Sixteen in (no pun intended) 2016 while he was working in advertising and fashion;If ad agencies are okay with second gigs like this and how he combines Sixteen with his career;How he isn't bullish on Paris and France cinema — “we show very few short films from French directors” — and why he thinks that might be;What is the Sixteen Film Institute and the process of how it works; Are filmmakers being too precious with their short films and the place of Sixteen in the market?The audience in France for arthouse films;How Sixteen will start to have events in Paris in October and his plans to grow the company…with humility and sustainability. Xavier's Indie Filmmaker Highlights: Theo Angelopoulos; Chloe ZhaoMemorable Quotes: “ I don't think that I would've been to be able to publish the greatest photographers alive if that would've been a commercial artist.” “The global stage is the stage and France is trying to catch up with it.”“ Yes, the state gives you money, but doesn't make your work visible.”“I value so much the relationship that I have with the artists.” Links:Follow Xavier On InstagramFollow Sixteen Film Institute On InstagramSixteen Film Institute WebsiteSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

In this episode, I explain what happened, explore why rigid definitions can be more harmful than helpful, and discuss how there are moments in every D/S relationship when the focus must shift to partnership rather than roles. This is a reflective and provocative conversation about leadership, care, and the reality of living this lifestyle.

The Truth About Addiction
What If Coincidences Are Actually Miracles in Disguise?

The Truth About Addiction

Send us a textWhat if those moments we dismiss as "coincidences" are actually glimpses into something more profound? After spending most of my life as a determined atheist who believed spiritual people were simply not intelligent enough to rely on themselves, I've undergone a remarkable transformation.Sixteen years into sobriety and eleven years into an unexpected spiritual journey, I've completely reimagined what "God" means to me. No longer the rigid cultural construct I was taught to reject, I've discovered what I call "the whisper of God"—that intelligent, intuitive knowing within that guides us toward clarity, peace, and compassion when we're willing to listen.But recently, I've been drawn toward something even more intriguing: the realm of miracles. Those moments when you think of someone and they immediately call. When you feel compelled to reach out to a friend who, unbeknownst to you, is in crisis. Are these really just random coincidences, or could they be something more?After reading a book called "Signs," I decided to conduct a personal experiment, asking my departed father and sister to send me specific signs—butterflies for my dad and hearts for my sister. What followed defies logical explanation: a monarch butterfly appearing outside my window during a coaching call, and later, a profound experience in Texas involving a hotel clerk named Jessica (my sister's name) who assigned me to the 13th floor (the date of my sister's passing was March 13th). When I shared this synchronicity with her, she broke down crying, confiding her struggle with alcoholism and believing our meeting was divinely arranged.Whether you're a spiritual seeker or a confirmed skeptic, I invite you to join me on this experiment into the unknown. What might we discover if we remain open to possibilities beyond our understanding? Share your own experiences with signs or synchronicities—I'd love to hear your story as we navigate this mysterious terrain together.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Josh also speaks with Tiffany Jiron, Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, who discusses the murdered Indigenous women crisis, and shares information about a new step New Mexico has taken to help when Native Americans go missing. Tiffany was 5'3” and 115 lbs. at the time of her disappearance. She has dark black hair and brown eyes. Tiffany would be 37 years old today.

NASTY GNOMES, EVIL IMPS, AND TERRIFYING TOMMYKNOCKERS #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF June 29, 2025==========HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension.
