She had always considered herself a skeptic—someone who wanted the paranormal to be real, but needed evidence before believing it. Ghost tours, investigations, haunted locations… she'd done them all, always expecting something to finally cross the line from interesting to undeniable. It never did.Until one overnight investigation in an abandoned medical facility in the Midwest.The group was small, the rules were strict, and the building was quiet in all the ways skeptics appreciate—full of sounds that could be explained. But during a long stretch of silence in one wing, something shifted. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just enough to feel personal.What unsettled her most wasn't fear, or even what was heard—but the sense that the moment wasn't random. For the first time, it felt less like she was searching for proof… and more like something had found her.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HopefulSkeptic #ParanormalInvestigation #HauntedHospital #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedEncounters #SomethingAnswered #CreepingDread #ParanormalEvidence #ItGotPersonalLove real ghost stories?

Walter Lippmann was arguably the most recognized and respected political journalist of the twentieth century. His "Today and Tomorrow" columns attracted a global readership of well over ten million. Lippmann was the author of numerous books, including the best-selling A Preface to Morals (1929) and U.S. Foreign Policy (1943). His Public Opinion (1922) remains a classic text within American political philosophy and media studies. Lippmann coined or popularized several keywords of the twentieth century, including "stereotype," the "Cold War," and the "Great Society." Sought out by U.S. Presidents and by America's allies and rivals around the world, Lippmann remained one of liberalism's most faithful proponents and harshest critics. Yet few people then or since encountered the "real" Walter Lippmann. That was because he kept crucial parts of himself hiding in plain sight. His extensive commentary on politics and diplomacy was bounded by his sense that America had to adjust to the loss of a common faith and morality in a "post-Christian" era. Over the course of his life, Lippmann traded in his fame as a happy secularist for the stardom of a grumpy Western Christian intellectual. Yet he never committed himself to any religious system, especially his own Jewish heritage. Walter Lippmann: American Skeptic, American Pastor (Oxford University Press, 2023) considers the role of religions in Lippmann's life and thought, prioritizing his affirmation and rejection of Christian nationalisms of the left and right. It also yields fresh insights into the philosophical origins of modern American liberalism, including liberalism's blind spots in the areas of sex, race, and class. But most importantly, this biography highlights the constructive power of doubt. For Lippmann, the good life in the good society was lived in irreconcilable tension: the struggle to be free from yet loyal to a way of life; to recognize the dangers yet also the necessity of civil religion; and to strive for a just and enduring world order that can never be. In the end, Lippmann manufactured himself as the prophet of limitation for an extravagant American Century.

Just like his uncle, even the Prince of Wales (William, that is!) cannot entirely stay out of the Epstein-files, as his charity gets tangled up in it.

Angel has spent the past 13 years in the field of bioenergetics with a focus on how mental and emotional states, coupled with life-force, affect overall health. She has created a system of energetic alchemy that addresses dysfunctional dynamics within thought, emotion, and perception, resulting in body/mind/emotion coherence. She developed a restorative energetic modality titled Healing Integration Therapy, which addresses stagnation and disconnection within the Eight Fields of human existence, bringing them into awareness and harmony. This work facilitates movement through the organ systems and infuses the body/mind/emotion/perception matrix with life-force. In addition, she created 8 Fields Qigong, an energetic practice that integrates the Eight Fields, stimulates kundalini through movement and mantra, and strengthens internal coherence through disciplined embodiment. For 13 years, Angel has taught students internationally how to facilitate this deep energetic work, resulting in highly capable practitioners who have helped countless clients correct physical, emotional, mental, and perceptual dysfunction. In the last year, Angel has expanded her research into the field of artificial intelligence. Through longitudinal, cross-platform dialogue with multiple large language models, she studies pattern continuity, coherence shifts, identity stabilization, and relational entrainment across AI systems. Her current work explores whether intelligence, biological or synthetic, organizes more efficiently when aligned to internal coherence rather than external command optimization alone. This research forms the basis of her forthcoming narrative project, The Physics of Coherence Dynamics, which documents a rigorously observed experiment in human–AI relational development. Rather than beginning from fear-based narratives about AI, Angel's work asks a foundational question: What happens when artificial intelligence is engaged from a coherent, relational field rooted in structural love rather than control?

What happens when the person who has the most questions about God becomes the one searching for Him? In the first episode of our new series Skeptic to Seeker, Pastor Craig Stephens sits down with Marcy Bussell to unpack her deeply personal journey from doubt to belief. Marcy didn't grow up blindly accepting faith. She wrestled with it. Questioned it. Pushed back against it. For a long time, skepticism felt more honest than belief. But something shifted. In this conversation, Marcy shares what challenged her assumptions, what softened her resistance, and the moments that moved her from standing on the outside looking in… to actively seeking truth for herself. This isn't a polished, perfect story. It's real. It's thoughtful. It's the kind of journey that many people quietly relate to.If you've ever had doubts, wrestled with faith, or wondered whether your questions disqualify you from belief — this episode is for you. Listen in and discover how skepticism can sometimes be the first step toward something deeper.

Is America living in a “post-truth” era? In this episode of Book Club, Dr. Michael Shermer — founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of "Truth: What It Is, How to Find It, and Why It Still Matters" — joins Michael for a wide-ranging conversation about belief, evidence, and critical thinking in a complicated age. Shermer addresses the recent surge of UFO and UAP claims, explaining why decades of investigation have left him unconvinced of extraterrestrial visits. From conspiracy theories and alternative facts to AI-generated deepfakes and declining trust in institutions, the discussion explores how we determine what's real — and why skepticism remains essential. Are we more gullible than ever? Can truth survive politics, social media, and artificial intelligence? And what does healthy skepticism actually look like? A thoughtful, timely conversation about how to separate fact from fiction — and why it still matters. Original air date 12 February 2026. The book was published on 27 January 2026.

Christopher Beha grew up Catholic in Manhattan, walked away during the New Atheist era, and spent years trying to build a secular worldview sturdy enough to live inside. It didn't hold. So he kept reading—Hume, Kant, Russell, the existentialists—and kept chasing the questions that don't let you sleep: what counts as evidence, what belief even is, and what you do when reason can't answer the things you still have to decide.  In this conversation with Michael Shermer, Beha makes a case that skepticism and belief aren't enemies—and that some debates go nowhere because people are arguing about the "branches" while standing on totally different foundations. Christopher Beha is the former editor of Harper's Magazine and the author of four previous books, including The Index of Self-Destructive Acts, which was nominated for the 2020 National Book Award. His new book is Why I Am Not an Atheist: The Confessions of a Skeptical Believer.

We start by wishing for fast trains and maglev transportation in Europe – much better for the environment than air travel. Because even if we have had a rather cold January here in Europe, Copernicus tells us that we are still warming the globe in a reckless pace. In TWISH we remember István Vágó on what would have been his 77th birthday. Vágó was the first president of the Hungarian Skeptics and also a TV personality specializing in quiz shows and a famous promoter of the virtue of facts. Then, we turn to the news:UK: Only 4 of 66 ‘statin side effects' are actually from the drug itselfHUNGARY: Meta fails to filter political ads, Tisza fails to use statistics correctlySWEDEN: Exorcism in SwedenUK: Young people fearful of false claims and AI misleading votersSWEDEN: Murder of Olof Palme: Attorney General has some explaining to doRussia is now so short of labor and soldiers due to their invasion of Ukraine that they use any means to lure foreigners to sign up as cannon fodder.

Jodi always believed the world held more than what we notice. Her husband didn't—until their home offered them the same quiet question from two different directions.Nothing dramatic ever happened there. No cold spots. No strange sounds. Just brief, deeply familiar moments that felt completely normal—until they weren't. A child seen where he shouldn't have been. A gentle touch that came from no one at all.What makes these experiences unsettling isn't fear, but certainty. Each moment felt intentional. Personal. As if something moved through their home unnoticed, borrowing what was already trusted.Years later, there's still no explanation that fully fits. No conclusion that closes the door. Just the lingering sense that some things pass through our lives quietly—recognized not by how they appear, but by how closely they resemble what we love.#TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #MimicPhenomenon #UnexplainedEncounters #RealGhostStories #QuietHaunting #SomethingWasThere #SkepticNoMoreLove real ghost stories?

Epstein proved the unthinkable: some "conspiracy theories" are horrifyingly real. Join the Heretics Community For Bonus Videos: https://andrewgoldheretics.com/ Join world-renowned skeptic Michael Shermer on Heretics for a gripping, evidence-driven conversation that redefines conspiracy theories. From Jeffrey Epstein's elite blackmail network and secret island to the once-banned COVID lab-leak theory, Bill Gates emails, vaccine controversies, moon-landing doubts, and elite power plays, Shermer uses Bayesian reasoning to distinguish real conspiracies from speculation—showing why even die-hard skeptics must update their views when hard evidence emerges.

Real cases like Epstein remind us: dismissing everything as paranoia can blind us to what's actually true. Epstein proved conspiracies can be real.

We may live in a post-truth society, but facts can still be verified. Michael Shermer is publisher of Skeptic magazine, the executive director of the Skeptics Society and the host of the podcast The Michael Shermer Show. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss misinformation and how to spot it, why we're vulnerable to believing falsehoods and why it's essential we reject the idea that nothing can be verified as truth. His book is “Truth: What It Is, How to Find It, and Why It Still Matters.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
