In the small Somerset village of Sidcot, George Beacham was remembered as a cattle doctor, a conjurer, and a man with knowledge of the old ways. When his final burial wish was ignored, the story says his widow's cottage erupted with moving furniture, falling household goods, and the sound of the dead man's boots coming slowly down the stairs.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://archive.org/stream/historyofsidcots00knig/historyofsidcots00knig_djvu.txthttps://www.sdnq.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Somerset-County-Herald-Notes-and-Queries-1919-transcript-by-Paul-Mansfield.pdfhttps://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5615/banwell-forthttps://hauntedhosts.com/haunted-places/avon/location/1235-banwell-blown-cross-hauntinghttps://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2092/wimblestonehttps://www.paranormaldatabase.com/somerset/somedata.phpThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Thanks very much for joining us for this episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast. If we had our time again, we might choose a shorter title, because it has to be one of the longest podcast titles in the world!We answer two questions in every episode, sent in by you, the listeners. We try not to see them before we press record. That is intentional. Where possible, we go in cold.Bronwen from Atlanta, Georgia, USA then asks the first question for this episode - “Is nature just becoming a nice backdrop to selfies?”Off the back of Bronwen's question, William reflects on how nature is increasingly used as a backdrop for selfies, suggesting that many people still view it as something separate and distant, rather than something woven into everyday life all around us.Stuart argues that for some people, nature becomes so visually incidental in moments like selfies, that it effectively disappears from awareness altogether, with individuals not recognising they are even in natural environments.Stuart goes on to urge listeners to recognise that nature is not something distant out there, but something all around us, and even within us. Emphasising that we are part of the same habitat as the wildlife we observe. William adds that this understanding is strengthened through simple, mindful engagement, encouraging people to step away from phones and distractions, and spend time in a local park, fully present in the moment, which he describes as restorative and good for the soul.Moving onto the second question for this episode which comes from Toby in Hallatrow, Somerset, England - “When dealing with sustainability in all areas of life, should we answer the questions, or answer the answers?”William suggests there is still a linear element to this process, arguing that you need questions in order to arrive at answers in the first place, and therefore, emphasises that the real starting point is ensuring we are asking the right questions.Stuart warns that an overemphasis on answering questions can lead to superficial solutions, while becoming too focused on “answering the answers” risks paralysis by analysis, where overthinking prevents meaningful action.Stuart reflects on the need for a “sweet spot” between the two approaches, suggesting that the right direction comes through self-correcting reasoning, where solutions are continually evaluated and refined by analysing what works and what doesn't, in the same way athletes review performance to make incremental improvements, rather than treating correction as failure.What do you make of this discussion?

Eli's book The Spinster Cookbook: Culture, Politics and Pleasure in the Single Woman's Kitchen is also a story of rebellion, explaining how cooking for one as a woman can become an act of care, defiance, pleasure, and self-expression.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

The measures are part of the Government's plans to protect young people from harm online and address unhealthy late-night scrolling on phones. BBC reporter Chris Vallance outlines the developments and Nuala McGovern also hears from Professor Victoria Goodyear at the University of Birmngham, whose work explores how social media and digital technologies shape young people's physical activity, heath and wellbeing.OnlyFans is one of the UK's most lucrative tech platformss.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destin, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes, racontées par Andréa Brusque. Cette semaine, plongez dans l'incroyable épopée de Narcisse Pelletier. Né au milieu du 19e siècle, ce jeune mousse engagé sur plusieurs navires marchands, se retrouve naufragé à l'autre bout de chez lui alors qu'il est âgé de seulement 14 ans. Seul sur une terre qu'il ne connaît pas, il va être recueilli et adopté par ceux que l'on surnomme alors à l'époque “des sauvages”. De son naufrage en Australie, où il sera abandonné et livré à lui-même à son retour en France, découvrez son fabuleux destin.  Le retour du “sauvage blanc”  Narcisse est désormais à bord du John Bell, un navire anglais qui navigue vers la colonie britannique la plus proche, Somerset. À bord, les marins s'empressent de donner à Narcisse des vêtements, qu'il n'avait plus porté pendant 17 ans. Ils sont profondément choqués de voir ce jeune homme blanc nu, portant un coquillage dans la cloison du nez et des cicatrices profondes sur le corps. Il est très anxieux sur le bateau et ne comprend pas un traître mot de ce qu'on lui dit. Les marins ont peur qu'il ne s'attaque à eux, mais veulent à tout prix le ramener à la civilisation. Le capitaine lui explique qu'ils ne sont pas venus pour lui faire du mal, mais au contraire pour lui sauver la vie. L'équipage va tout faire pour ramener Narcisse à sa famille… Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Mary-Lou Oeconomou Production : Bababam (montage Gilles Bawulak) Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

On this special episode, we delve into early television with Professor John Wyver, whose book and conference is all about those overlooked decades of Stooky Bill, I think that's a pen, and vertical screens no bigger than a postcard. Sound familiar? 2026 is a big television centenary. On 26 January 1926, John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of television, showing moving images to a small gathering of scientists at his Frith Street laboratory in central London. To celebrate, Magic Rays of Light: The Early Years of Television in Britain is a new book by Professor John Wyver - writer, producer and Professor of the Arts on Screen at the University of Westminster. That university will soon be hosting a live in-person conference, The Cultures of Early Television, on 2 and 3 July at London's Portland Hall, not too far from today's BBC Broadcasting House. John Wyver is organising this, and joins us to talk us through the early years of television, the programmes available, the people behind it, what cinema made of TV, whether John Reith was a fan, how well-off were its first viewers, and much more. Plus 27 June 2026 sees the end of longwave in the UK, so we take a quick look at how it developed, and herald an event by Cray Valley Radio Society that you can listen to or go to (if you're near Eltham). It's all part of a few episodes themed on things you can go to this summer, from last episode's Asking Elvis show to next episode's Archers retrospective, via my own show An Evening of (Very) Old Radio and John Wyver's early television conference.

Somerset's to get an extra £50m investment to help the county deal with flooding. The government is giving the money to the county council who will work in partnership with local drainage boards, communities, the Environment Agency and the Somerset Rivers Authority. Farming Minister Angela Eagle says it will enable farmers to better withstand the growing threat of floods.Nearly 300 cattle in Scotland are due to be culled because their identification regulations haven't been followed. The Belted Galloways from Home Farm on the Falkland Estate in Fife cannot enter the food chain because they aren't properly registered. Government inspectors due to oversee the cull say they've faced threats online, and will now not attend. All week we're delving into the detail of growing cereal crops – wheat, barley and oats. Farmers are used to juggling with the challenges of the weather, but this year there have been several other parts to the tricky equation of making cereal crops profitable. With fertilizer prices rising because of the war in the Middle East, and lower or non-existent support payments following Brexit, where does that leave larger cereal growers, competing in global markets?Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

In which our angry and hopeless drunkards begin destroying the vicarage, before turning on each other and then working on themselves. Fellwood goes for a walk… The Company of the Light uses the Vaesen roleplaying system, by Free League Publishing and based an original concept by Johan Egerkrans. The mystery at the heart of the scenario is taken from Mythic Britain and Ireland by Graeme Davis. The name of that scenario (which may contain a mild spoiler) can be found below the music section of these notes. You can hear a short prologue to The Company of the Light on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blomqvist-01-ho-153999494 Cast: Lieutenant William Fellwood — Joseph Chance Bab Chase — Dominic Allen Siobhan Strong — Danann McAleer Bridge Ebden — Lucy Farrett Narrator — Dan Wheeler CW: This podcast contains mature themes, strong language and cosmic horror. (MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW): The mystery at the heart of this story is premised upon the disappearance and death of a young woman. However, with the exception of one moment (which I will flag when it arrives), this is not dwelt on in any great detail, and please note for avoidance of doubt this is NOT sexual violence or self-harm. Human discretion is advised. The Apocalypse Players is an actual play (or live play) TTRPG podcast focused on horror tabletop roleplaying games. Think Dimension 20 or Critical Role, but fewer dragons, more eldritch horrors, and more British actors taking their roleplaying very seriously (most of the time). We primarily play the Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu, but have also been known to dabble with other systems, most of which can be found on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/apocalypseplayers We now have a free Discord server where you can come and worship at the altar of the Apocalypse, play Call of Cthulhu online, and meet like-minded cultists who will be only too eager to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome back to the podcast, episode… honestly, we've lost count at this point. Somewhere between ‘quite a few' and ‘deeply concerning.'William and Stuart begin by debating exactly how many episodes they've recorded, before immediately deciding the numbers don't matter anyway. Which, of course, leads naturally into the observation that some people suddenly become extremely interested in statistics the moment they're being criticised.William pauses dramatically, as though about to name names… before Stuart helpfully blurts out: ‘Paul.'As always, the format is beautifully chaotic. You send in the questions, we answer them, and we normally get through two per episode. Crucially, we don't see the questions before we hit record, which means there is no research, no planning, and certainly no professionalism involved whatsoever.Toby, from Hallatrow, Somerset, England is the first listener to set a question today - “What has true value and meaning?”William and Stuart explore the tension between acceptance and resignation, debating whether meaning is something we create for ourselves or simply assign temporarily to the world around us. From personal health and human nature to environmental change and emotional resilience, they unpack the difference between acknowledging reality and giving up, and ask whether modern life has made people too willing to accept the future as inevitable. Gus, from Walton Near Wetherby, Yorkshire, England asks the next question- “Discuss the role of compromise and reliability in Environmentalism and sustainability".William and Stuart discuss sustainability, compromise, and reliability, exploring how environmental progress depends on balancing profit, responsibility, and realistic expectations of human behaviour. Along the way, they debate whether reliability is about rigid consistency or simply a genuine commitment to keep trying in an unpredictable world. What do you make of this discussion?

Today, we're speaking with Aleyna Morales. Aleyna grew up in the Twin Cities and Somerset, Wisconsin. Aleyna's heritage includes Ojibwe from the Fond du Lac Band community and Mexican. She is the creator and baker behind Baked to Bliss by Laney. You can catch her selling baked goods at the Carlton County Farmers Market. Aleyna shares how a need to pull herself out of the lowest point in her life led to taking classes and an interest in sourdough bread. She posted videos on TikTok, never expecting people to reach out and to buy her bread. A decision to attend a local entrepreneur meet-up led to an encounter with a neighbor who was starting a coffee business and, coincidentally, needed scones and muffins to sell to his customers. Together, these surprising turns of events, her gifts and the support of her community have allowed her to create a thriving baking business she calls Baked to Bliss by Laney. She also talks about what helps her to cope when times get hard and why believing in yourself is key to building a better life.   Aleyna is the mom of five children and lives with her partner in the Fond du Lac community.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradioinstagram.com/mnnativenewsfacebook.com/MNNativeNewsNever miss a beat.

A visit to TeraWulf's Lake Mariner campus reveals how AI infrastructure is evolving far beyond the traditional data centre Standing beside the former Somerset coal-fired power station on the shores of Lake Ontario, it was difficult to miss the scale of what is now taking shape. (See photo above of the Lake Mariner facility under construction). Construction crews were working across the Lake Mariner campus, where TeraWulf is transforming a site once associated with coal-fired electricity generation, and later bitcoin mining, into a major AI and high-performance computing facility. One of the largest buildings currently under development, known as CB-4, spans approximately 330,000 square feet, equivalent to more than four full-sized football pitches under one roof. The site was one of several stops during a Schneider Electric-hosted visit to Buffalo, New York examining the infrastructure emerging around large-scale AI computing. While much public discussion focuses on AI software and increasingly powerful processors, the visit highlighted something less visible: the industrial infrastructure now being built to support the next generation of AI systems. Lake Mariner's story is also one of industrial regeneration. Rather than developing a completely new location, TeraWulf is repurposing an established industrial site, reusing land, transmission infrastructure and grid connections already associated with power generation. The company has stated that its operations are powered predominantly by zero-carbon electricity, drawing on hydroelectric and nuclear generation available through New York State's electricity system, alongside solar generation currently under development on site. During a tour of the campus, Sean Farrell, COO of TeraWulf, described a project being delivered at remarkable speed. Around 1,600 people are involved across engineering, construction and specialist trades. "We work around the clock," Farrell said. According to Farrell, facilities that once took years to deliver are now being brought online in less than 12 months. The speed of development was one of the most striking aspects of the visit. Walking around the site, it became clear that this was no longer simply a story about data centres. Alongside the buildings themselves were substations, transformers, cooling systems, power distribution equipment and extensive electrical infrastructure. Having toured Lake Mariner, I asked Robert Bunger, Global Director of Data Centre Solution Architecture at Schneider Electric, whether the industry had reached a point where access to power, cooling and grid capacity now matters as much as constructing new facilities. Bunger's answer was immediate. "Scale, capacity and grid capacity," he said. "Absolutely." The response reflected much of what visitors had seen throughout the day. The challenge facing operators is no longer simply creating more data centre space. It is securing enough power, cooling and supporting infrastructure to keep pace with rapidly growing AI workloads. Speed is also becoming a critical factor. Throughout the visit, Farrell, and later Bunger, returned to the challenge of delivering infrastructure quickly enough to meet demand. The issue is no longer limited to buildings. Power equipment, cooling systems, specialist engineering expertise and supply chain capacity all have to be available at the right time. Facilities that once took years to deliver are now expected in months. For operators competing to support AI customers, the ability to deploy infrastructure rapidly is becoming a competitive advantage in its own right. One of the questions I put to Bunger concerned the growing industry discussion around 800 VDC and new high-density power architectures. Was this simply another technical trend, or evidence that traditional data centre electrical architectures were no longer sufficient for AI-scale workloads? Bunger's answer suggested the latter. "The need to change the way we're doing things from a ...

Link to Mandarin Retreat: https://imlearningmandarin.com/retreatFrom absolute zero to conversational Mandarin in one year — in her 50s, as a busy mum.Most of my student progress videos show a before and after. This one is different. When Katharine came to me a year ago, she was starting from nothing. Zero Mandarin, zero background. Her goal was simple: learn enough to help her young son with his Mandarin homework. But she ended up going much further than that.Katharine is a busy mother in her 50s, not living in a Chinese-speaking country, with limited time and a lot of real-life commitments. The question she had from the start was the one I hear most often from adult learners: is it actually possible at my age, and can I crack the tones?The answer is in this video.Over the course of a year, we built Katharine a personalised immersion system, her own Mandarin world she could dip into around family life. By the end of that year, she attended our Easter Mandarin retreat in Somerset, took part in conversations, made dumplings, went on countryside walks — all entirely in Mandarin, and gave a presentation about her learning journey in front of her classmates. Completely in Chinese.What struck me most when we sat down for this interview? Her tones. They're accurate. Really accurate. And that blows apart one of the most common myths about adult language learning - that once you reach a certain age, the tones are out of reach.They're not. Katharine proves it.

We hear from several big cat witnesses at the Dean Heritage Centre, recorded at the Art & Science of British Big Cats event in April-May 2026. Key guests include Will, a 16-year-old investigator who has had three big cat encounters in the Forest of Dean area, and 10-year-old George, who travelled from Somerset with his mun Louise to take part. George looks for evidence in southwest England, and with his dad he recently observed a big cat skulk away at dusk as they were watching beavers.Artist Rob Amos describes chatting with visitors at the event while he produced his oil painting of a ‘Gloucestershire black leopard at dusk' to engage people for the final three days. See photos on Big Cat Conversations website Refs & Links page, and a video with snippets from the event will soon be available via the Big Cat Conversations YouTube  channel. Words of the week:   weird is cool   31 May 2026

As of this episode, we've only six listener questions left, so do send one in today. Though now we've mentioned it we're braced for a tsunami of filth, or at least a tsunami of questions, we're happy to discuss anything you care, or dare, to throw our way.The first of two listener questions for today's episode comes from Ray in Newmilns, Scotland - “I've been thinking about human evolution in space, but closer to home than you think. Recently a group of astronauts came home early as one was ill, but we've yet to experience fighting, arguments, crime, murder, death and war in space. All negative I know, but how would these occurrences affect space travel/exploration in the short/medium/long term?”Stuart feels that even if space exploration leads to a wide range of positive and negative outcomes, including conflict and advancement, the underlying human behaviours are likely to remain consistent, suggesting that when humanity extends itself into space, it may still interpret and repeat familiar patterns of narrow mindedness and conflict seen on Earth.William argues that human space travel remains extraordinarily rare, with only a tiny number of highly selected individuals ever experiencing it, and suggests that astronauts such as Neil Armstrong are chosen precisely for their exceptional stress tolerance and emotional control. He contends that this unusual temperament enables people to function effectively in extreme environments and may help explain why space has so far remained relatively free of conflict.The second of today's two listener questions arrives from Drew in Standerwick, Somerset, England - “Where do you think you'll be as creators in 5 years?”Stuart notes that the podcast is tied to a five year timeline following the community interest company's he and William are involved with, first funding round, meaning it would likely conclude in 2031, after which he hopes to retire, reduce pressure on himself, and focus on managing his health with greater acceptance rather than pursuing new projets. Using humour, including jokes about figures like Neil Armstrong and “never” starting to like jazz, he frames this as a deliberate preference for slowing down rather than reinventing himself.William explains that he is considering creative projects for the future, including a YouTube based history channel about Oxford's hidden history beyond the university focus, as well as producing music. He feels these are ideas he would like to develop over the next five years but is not placing pressure on himself, allowing them to remain flexible alongside other priorities. He perceives creative work as needing a clear sense of purpose or “so what” factor, explaining that he wants any output he produces to feel meaningful rather than simply existing for the sake of constant production. What do you make of this discussion?

Take 10 with Tim – May 15, 2026 @ 9:15 – 45 minutes to an hour.1.God help us, but Zebby Matthews looked great yesterday. It was the Marlins, but a line of 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5K/1BB is pretty awesome. a.What are you doing about him?b.I've held onto him in a couple of Dynasty Leagues, but I think this is a sucker setup.2.The kids are getting called nearly every day.a.On Tuesday, A.J. Ewing was promoted to “save the Mets' season”. Well, the Mets win their first series against the Tigers, and Ewing is 3 for 6, with a home run, a stolen base, 4 walks, and 3 strikeouts.i.I actually have him in all 10 Dynasty Leagues (I think) and started him where I could. What's your take?b.Henry Bolte also gets the call and looks to get plenty of playing time for the Athletics.i.What's your take?c.Order the following for the rest of the season - Waldschmidt, Ewing, Eldridge, and Henry Bolt3.Zach Cole has been on fire since you recommended him on Sunday. Well done! Thoughts for the rest of the season.4.Cal Raleigh hit the IL, a day after breaking a 0-36 hitless streak. Fantasy managers can't be happy with his season – he has seven home runs, but it's come at a cost of a .161 BA and a brutal .243 OBP. Now, he hits the IL with an oblique issue.a.Let's dig into his season to see if we can figure out what's going on.5.Robby Snelling – just brutal. He started one game, looked ok and now hits the IL with a left UCL sprain. That might explain this season's poor control. a.I think it's odd how many pitchers get the call and then seem to go out with an elbow issue. It almost makes you think they know there is a problem but don't speak up until they get on the MLB roster. Yeah, I know this is all conspiracy stuff, but it happens a lot.6.Max Fried hits the IL, and as of this writing, we don't know how long he'll be out. Gerrit Cole is getting close, more once he gets into shape instead of getting his arm stretched out. I heard a bit of grumbling this week in Somerset. Anyway, I don't think Elmer Rodriguez gets another start. Your thoughts?a.Speaking of the Yankees, Jose Caballero hits the IL, and Anthony Volpe is back. Will he be somebody who interests you this weekend?7.Ohtani seems to be having a better year as a pitcher than as a hitter. With the decision to rest him on pitching days and to assume a few more days off during the season, do you think this time off, coupled with being relegated to DH, will push him down in next year's draft?8.Jacob Wilson hits the IL with a shoulder issue, and it sounds like it will be more than 10 days. Darell Hernaiz gets a shot. Is he worth grabbing?9.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend?10.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend?

What role do ongoing conversations play in encouraging young people to consider church work vocations? The Rev. Gregory Jans (pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Somerset, NJ) and Mark Sadlo (senior majoring in history at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ) join Andy and Sarah to talk about the congregation where Pastor Jans serves and his path to pastoral ministry, Mark's journey to Rutgers University and who encouraged him to consider church work, the conversations that Pastor Jans and Mark have had over the years, and what both of them think motivates young people to consider church work vocations. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

La esclavitud fue una institución milenaria y universal. Existió en todas las civilizaciones a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Da igual donde y cuando miremos. La encontramos en Sumeria, en la antigua Roma, en el islam y en los imperios prehispánicos de América. Nadie la cuestionaba y parecía que iba a existir siempre. Pero entre finales del siglo XVIII y finales del XIX esa estructura se desmoronó. Las raíces del movimiento abolicionista se encuentran en el cristianismo, que aceptó la esclavitud, pero no entre cristianos. En la Edad Media la esclavitud se redujo mucho en Europa occidental, pero resurgió con fuerza tras la llegada de los portugueses al golfo de Guinea y de los españoles al continente americano. Isabel la Católica prohibió esclavizar a los indígenas, pero no a los africanos, lo que permitió que los españoles primero y luego las potencias europeas con intereses en América empezasen a llevar esclavos desde África dando origen a la trata atlántica. El abolicionismo en América surgió entre entre los cuáqueros. En el siglo XVIII se sumaron predicadores como John Newton, autor de Amazing Grace, y filósofos ilustrados como Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire y Kant, que ofrecieron a la causa de la abolición un fundamento racional y secular. El Reino Unido, curiosamente la mayor potencia esclavista de la época, fue quien más esfuerzos hizo por acabar con la esclavitud. El caso Somerset de 1772 liberó a los esclavos en suelo inglés. Años más tarde la Sociedad para la Abolición, fundada en 1787, creo la campaña política moderna con panfletos, medallones, boicots y peticiones al parlamento. Crearon también un nuevo género, el de los testimonios de antiguos esclavos. Algunos como los de Olaudah Equiano, Quobna Cugoano, Ignatius Sancho y Mary Prince conmovieron a la opinión pública y fueron de vital importancia para influir sobre la agenda legislativa. En el Parlamento un diputado llamado William Wilberforce fue quien se encargó de dar la batalla durante casi 20 años hasta lograr la prohibición de la trata en 1807. La Royal Navy comenzó a patrullar las costas africanas para capturar a los barcos negreros. La diplomacia británica, entretanto, presionaba a las potencias coloniales para que ilegalizasen la compra de esclavos. En 1833 el parlamento aprobó la Slavery Abolition Act que liberó a los 800.000 esclavos del imperio. Los dueños fueron indemnizados con una suma tan elevada que el Gobierno británico tuvo que pedir el dinero prestado. Francia abolió definitivamente la esclavitud en 1848, los Países Bajos en 1863, Portugal en 1869. Estados Unidos resolvió la cuestión en el campo de batalla con una una guerra civil que alumbró la Decimotercera Enmienda de 1865. En España la abolición llegó primero a Puerto Rico en 1873 y luego a Cuba en 1886, tras el sistema transitorio del patronato. Brasil hizo lo propio en 1888, pero aquello costó el trono a los Braganza. El proceso coincidió con la revolución industrial, pero las plantaciones en las Antillas eran rentables. Había algo más que empujó esta idea, el convencimiento íntimo de aquellos europeos de que la esclavitud era incompatible con la dignidad humana. Eso persuadió a las mismas sociedades que se beneficiaban de ella para que renunciaran voluntariamente a una institución milenaria en apenas cinco generaciones.

Fright Bites - EP05 - The Last Customer tells the chilling story of a late-night encounter inside a social club in Somerset, where an ordinary closing shift turned into something deeply unsettling. After a busy evening with a live band, Helen and her colleague remained behind to clean up. The building was empty, doors locked, and everything quiet — until she saw an elderly woman slowly crossing the dance floor toward the toilets.The figure never responded when spoken to and never returned. When Helen and her colleague checked the toilets moments later, they were completely empty. Then came the sound of scraping furniture. Returning to the function room, they discovered a single chair placed in the middle of the dance floor — where nothing had been before. Years later, the manager revealed he had experienced the exact same sequence: an elderly woman walking toward the toilets, followed by a mysteriously moved chair.This Fright Bites episode explores a classic residual-style haunting set in a quiet Somerset social club. If you're drawn to true paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, haunted workplaces, mysterious phenomena, and scary stories rooted in witness testimony, The Last Customer delivers a chilling account of something that seemed to repeat the same actions… years apart.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-history-hauntings-and-the-unexplained--6759967/support.

We return to the 1950s tv series The Adventures of Sir Lancelot with two episodes: Episode 3, "The Queen's Knight", which takes some inspiration from Chretien de Troyes' Lancelot, le Chevalier de la charrette as well as Malory's Le Morte Darthur, with Guinevere abducted by Mordred and Lancelot disguising himself as a peasant driving a cart in order to rescue her. Episode 20, "Maid of Somerset", where the people of Cheddar, famed for its cheese, are subjected to the cruel king Meliot, who sells his people into slavery, until Lancelot conspires with the peasants to conduct an uprising against the king. Both episodes are interesting in how they utilize Arthurian legend in order to tell more egalitarian stories, with common people frequently pointing out that all these knights and kings never have to deal with the pains and humiliations they live under. Starring William Russell, Cyril Smith, Bruce Seton, Jane Hylton, and Patricia Kneale. Written by Leslie Poynton (episode 3); Selwyn Jepson (episode 20). Directed by Ralph Smart; Bernard Knowles.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Melissa from Georgia to the show for a conversation that blends travel memories, Bigfoot research, and some of the strangest encounters she has ever experienced. They kick things off by reflecting on their recent trip to England for the red carpet premiere of My Bigfoot Life, sharing thoughts on the beauty of the UK countryside, the enchanting forests of Somerset, and how surprisingly similar the landscape felt to both Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest.Melissa then dives into her lifelong fascination with Bigfoot, tracing it back to childhood memories with her father, old television specials, and early expeditions with the BFRO. What began as a fun curiosity eventually became something much deeper after a powerful nighttime encounter in West Virginia convinced her that something real was out there. From that point on, her journey expanded into investigations, expeditions across the country, media projects, and her well-known presence in the Bigfoot community.The heart of the episode centers on Melissa's most compelling personal experiences, including a little-known encounter in North Georgia involving a mysterious moving light she now believes may have been an orb, and a series of intense, unsettling events during filming at Land Between the Lakes. She shares stories of strange sounds, overwhelming physical sensations, possible telepathic impressions, shadowy entities, missing camera footage, and a terrifying moment involving what she and others believe may have been a rake-like creature. Throughout the conversation, Brian and Melissa explore the growing overlap between Bigfoot research and high strangeness, asking whether the phenomenon may be far more complex than either of them once believed.They close with a thoughtful discussion about discovery, whether Sasquatch truly needs human recognition, and what revealing the species to the world might actually mean.
