What happens when a grieving woman sets up a tent on her family's ancestral land in the forests of Southwest Pennsylvania — and begins receiving mysterious gifts from the woods? In this deeply personal and mysterious episode, we sit down with Bobbi, a lifelong resident of the Laurel Ridge region, as she shares an astonishing series of events: a pristine bird's nest left on a log, religious statues disappearing without a trace, loud crashes with no explanation, and a strange, woven ball of bark left under a snapped branch.But that's just the beginning.Bobbi also recounts eerie vocalizations, rock-throwing, unnatural forest structures, and the chilling scream her daughter heard near a riverbank. From the valleys near Quemahoning Reservoir — where park rangers once reportedly spotted a family of Bigfoot — to a cabin near Salt Fork, Ohio, Bobbi's experiences stretch across years and landscapes, all hinting at something just beyond the veil of explanation.This isn't a story of fear. It's one of mystery, healing, and connection to a force older than memory. And for Bobbi, it began with loss — and a tent in the woods.Featuring locations like Forbes State Forest, Laurel Ridge, and Salt Fork State Park, this is one episode of Bigfoot Society you won't forget.

[[TW: includes formative kid-to-kid sexsploration stories]] What do horny neighborhood boys do when they know it's wrong to pressure a lady outside of wedlock, but still want to practice sex? Each other, apparently — at least in the neighborhood Oscar grew up in. It definitely was *not* “gay” by their own definitions, and these early experiences led Oscar to an adventurous and (now more than ever!) fulfilling sex life. While his experiences with dudes have remained mostly on the DL, he is a happy explorer of many things. We talk about versatility, how confidence, open-mindedness and non-judgment is sexy (but also: “I love a good, whore-y look”), the messages he did and didn't get about sex growing up poor and with three (very attractive) sisters who his parents were always worried for, childhood masturbation guilt of his playmates and his own deep curiosity, switching to women for several years until a mysterious phone call when he was out one night as an enlisted dude, his love of adult bookstores, the lover he has now who he is beyond happy with and a hot birthday surprise, how Feeling horny and doing hard manual labor make him feel sexy and strong in his body, why he loves shower sex but bath houses aren't his thing, and how making people laugh and come are ultimately his most favorite things. 60's, straight cis male (but not super into labels and has learned the fun of cock play and sometimes will describe himself as “bi” on apps) from Southwest Pennsylvania.  JOIN THE MISSION / http://mission69.org   ///    SHARE STORIES / http://sexstoriespodcast.com ///  GET A BOX /  / www.LikeAKitten.com/coupon/Lover ///

What does it look like when fracking comes to town? For folks in poor rural areas, parts of Trump Country before we had Trump Country, fracking can mean opportunity, wealth, and autonomy for some, destruction and ruin for others. Journalist Eliza Griswold tells a story that begins in the Niger delta and brings her to the doorstep of a family farm in Southwest Pennsylvania in the midst of the energy boom. There, in the towns of Amity and Prosperity, she learns about the intimate and complex reasons why people chose to bring fracking to their town, and the crisis they face when mysterious illnesses begin to appear.Read more at NBCNews.com/WhyIsThisHappening

In this episode, Speakeasy goes on the road - to Southwest Pennsylvania ahead of the March 13 special election in the state's 18th Congressional district. We spent a couple of days watching the candidates, listening to the ads, and talking to voters in a district that Donald Trump won by a landslide two years ago. This special election tests three big questions we dig into over the course of the podcast: 1) Can tax-cuts help the Republican majority in Congress turn back the Democratic tide? 2) Can Democrats compete in Republican districts they need to recapture the House? 3) And can President Donald Trump rally his blue-collar base behind his party in November? Even though Pennsylvania will have new Congressional district lines by November, the PA-18 race provides an early measure of crucial factors in the fight for Congress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Produced by: Mary Catherine Wellons & Pat Anastasi Edited by: Shari Rosen & Geoff Dills Learn more about your ad choices.
