Before convicts were shipped to Australia, they rotted aboard decommissioned warships anchored in the Thames — floating dungeons so brutal that a condemned man called them "a college of villainy" where every prisoner graduated "a master of arts in scoundrelism."IN THIS EPISODE: It was in 1975 when the first skull of what was believed to be Bigfoot was found. But the owner of the skull hadn't been dead too long, for the local people said they remembered the creature before it died. And even more shocking – they personally knew some of its descendants – a cross-breeding of Bigfoot and human beings! (Villagers Remember Descendants of Bigfoot) *** A young woman falls unconscious and awakes with a fantastical story about fairies kissing her, how she was treated like a princess by them, and falling in love with one of the fairy men. While you might say it was just a fanciful dream, how do you explain that this girl also woke up with clairvoyant abilities? (The Fairies and Anne Jeffries) *** On 15 July 1910 the Sheffield Evening Telegraph recorded the anniversaries of the day. One particular entry was this: “Prison hulks first seen on the Thames…1776”. But what were the prison hulks, and what was life like on board these ‘floating hells,' as they came to be known? (Floating Hells) ***Depending on whether or not you want to get the scare of your life, you will either want to, or not want to honk your car's horn three times on Burnt Mill Road in the Pine Barrens area of New Jersey. If you do, you risk an encounter with the Atco Ghost. (The Atco Ghost Legend of New Jersey) *** Archaeologists excavating the tomb of an ancient Egyptian queen just discovered something chilling… a 13-foot long scroll – a lost chapter from Egypt's “Book of the Dead”. (Queen Nearit's Book of the Dead) *** Feeling the Lord Ganesha wanted milk, a man ran to get some and placed it before the elephant headed statue in a temple near his home. Then it happened… the milk disappeared as if the statue had consumed it. And then the same thing happened to others… and others.

Did you think we already knew everything there was to know about Virginia Woolf? Think again! In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar and editor Urmila Seshagiri about The Life of Violet: Three Early Stories, which presents three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet, which Woolf wrote in 1907, eight years before she published her first novel. The story of Seshagiri's discovery is nearly as fantastical as the stories themselves. PLUS literary biographer Jake Poller (Christopher Isherwood: A Critical Life) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

"Hospitality and real community starts by inviting people into your messy home…"   Summary In this episode, Mike and Alicia sit down with best-selling Catholic author Emily Stimpson Chapman to talk about Advent, Storybook for young Catholics, and the beauty of simple hospitality. Emily shares the real, lived rhythms of Advent in her home—reminding parents that peace and prayerfulness grow best when traditions are tied to everyday routines and kept flexible, not burdensome.   Emily also introduces her newest work, The Story of All Stories, a beautifully crafted children's story Bible from Word on Fire that presents salvation history as one unified narrative. Although written for ages 7–13, it has already captivated teens, parents, and grandparents alike.   Finally, the conversation turns to hospitality—how ordinary families can open their homes joyfully, even amid noise, chaos, and little ones. Emily offers practical tips, simple meal ideas, and a vision for welcoming others that prioritizes connection over perfection.   Key Takeaways Advent traditions work best when tied to existing family routines—like dinner—rather than starting from scratch. Flexibility in traditions preserves peace and allows your family to embrace the joy of the season without stress. Hospitality doesn't require perfection—simple meals and genuine presence build true community. Opening your home combats loneliness and helps families live their mission together.   Couple Discussion Questions What Advent traditions have been life-giving for our family—and which ones cause unnecessary stress? How could we anchor Advent prayer or traditions more naturally into our existing daily routine? In what ways do we tell the story of salvation to our children? Is there room to deepen our approach? When we think about hospitality, what holds us back most—perfectionism, time, or fear? Who is one person or family we could invite over in the next two weeks for a simple, joy-filled meal?

There is a quiet adventure that opens within us when we look to animals and nature for guidance. In this short preview, Mary Chris Foxworthy offers a warm glimpse into the world she shares with her horses in Metamora, Michigan. Her life as an author began through the wisdom of her horses and the influence of her mentor, Gloria Austin, whose museum and library helped preserve equestrian heritage. One of Mary Chris's horses even became a Briar model, adding another beautiful chapter to her story.Her love for history, community, and the next generation shines through as she talks about the camaraderie of carriage driving, the humor in horse idiom, and the magic that happens when a child meets a horse for the first time. She brings the past to life in a way that reminds us how animals can help us stay present, connected, and hopeful. The full interview airs on December 12.Takeaways• The deep camaraderie found in carriage driving• How horse history opens our understanding of the present• The joy children experience when they meet a horseLet this preview remind you that adventure is already happening. It lives in the stories we carry, the animals who guide us, and the moments when we choose to slow down and truly see the world around us.Discover more of Mary Chris's work: https://www.hoofbeatsthroughhistory.com/Want more horse wisdom and fun?

A German occultist stole Bram Stoker's Dracula to make a film about pandemic fears, Stoker's widow ordered every copy burned, and yet Nosferatu survived to become the most influential vampire movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE: The 1922 horror classic "Nosferatu" still turns up, on TV and on college campuses every Halloween. And it'll likely show up again somewhere this year as well. In this episode we'll look at how Nosferatu isterrifyingly relevant even still today, the controversial making of the film – and the lawsuit by Bram Stoker's wife, how the director of the film was involved in the occult… and how you would not have wanted to miss the film's premiere which was an unforgettable, epic event all by itself. That and a whole lot more about 1922's Nosferatu, on this episode of Weird Darkness. CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Strange Newspaper Ad That Launched Horror's Greatest Vampire Film00:01:04.589 = Show Open00:02:33.736 = Nosferatu Wasn't About Vampires — It Was About a Pandemic00:10:05.520 = *** Nosferatu: The Film That Was Ordered Destroyed — And Survived00:26:48.293 = *** Nosferatu: Facts, Secrets, and Spongebob Squarepants00:34:11.409 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES – and/or --- PRINT VERSION to READ or SHARE:“The Message Nosferatu Has For Us Today” by Jim Beckerman for NorthJersey.com:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4h966w3w“The True Story Behind Nosferatu” by Sam Markus for Grunge.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/zupyynu7“Other Nosferatu Facts” by Mark Mancini for Mental Floss: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/zueums9f, and William Burns for Horror News Network: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/r6xbudh4=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Edwin Chen is the founder and CEO of Surge AI, the company that teaches AI what's good vs. what's bad, powering frontier labs with elite data, environments, and evaluations. Surge surpassed $1 billion in revenue with under 100 employees last year, completely bootstrapped—the fastest company in history to reach this milestone. Before founding Surge, Edwin was a research scientist at Google, Facebook, and Twitter and studied mathematics, computer science, and linguistics at MIT.We discuss:1. How Surge reached over $1 billion in revenue with fewer than 100 people by obsessing over quality2. The story behind how Claude Code got so good at coding and writing3. The problems with AI benchmarks and why they're pushing AI in the wrong direction4. How RL environments are the next frontier in AI training5. Why Edwin believes we're still a decade away from AGI6.

This week we spoke to author and researcher Jason Quitt. He discusses his out-of-body experiences and how they reshaped his understanding of existence, leading him to explore the connections between ancient texts, astronomy, and the cycles of nature. He demonstrates the significance of celestial bodies in ancient cultures, the symbolism of fertility, and the agency of nature as perceived by ancient civilizations. Quitt emphasizes the importance of the pyramids as celestial clocks and the interconnectedness of symbols across different cultures, suggesting a shared ancient knowledge that transcends time and geography. We discuss the duality of the serpent in various cultures, including its representation in Christianity, and how these ancient stories have been passed down through generations, revealing a shared knowledge across civilizations. A really amazing conversation that hit all the points we love to discuss on the podcast!   You can find more of Jason's work at his website: https://thecrystalsun.com/ If you want to buy the books for the subjects discussed on the show, you can find them on amazon: Gates of the Annunaki https://a.co/d/9ZF3raA Astral Genesis https://a.co/d/bHzsHpc   Jason is also active on X: https://x.com/jason_quitt   Support us through Patreon and get special episodes, early access, and bumper tunes!

In this episode, we step into the world of subtle energies, ancient lineages, and the forgotten intelligence of nature with renowned flower essence pioneer Katie Hess.

In this episode of the US Navy History Podcast, Dale and Christophe commemorate Pearl Harbor Day, focusing on the personal, lesser-told stories from December 7, 1941. They explore the human experiences of sailors, marines, nurses, airmen, and civilians during the attack, offering insights into the emotional and psychological impact of the event. The script also delves into the harrowing efforts of survivors and rescue teams, the rapid salvage and rebuilding operations, and the lasting legacy of resilience and unity forged that day. The episode concludes with reflections on the broader significance of Pearl Harbor, emphasizing its enduring influence on the US Navy and the nation.

From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.

Send us a textOn the latest episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Jamaican reggae artist 1Sesedon, who takes us on a powerful journey through his early life in Jamaica. He shares stories of growing up on Bay Farm Road in Waterhouse, Kingston 11, and reflects on the pivotal moment he was given the opportunity to attend Calabar High School.1Sesedon talks about gaining structure during his school years and discovering what he was truly called to do—music—even though he spent much of his high school days playing cricket. He opens up about finding his passion for music around age 20, pursuing voice training, and learning to play the piano. Despite the violence surrounding him, he managed to stay positive, rise above his circumstances, and eventually make his way out of the garrison.He also pays tribute to one of Jamaica's greats, the late Jimmy Cliff, before sharing insights into some of his own songs, including “Believe,” “Aftermath,” “Badmind Nah Mean Nothing,” “Golden Touch,” and others—along with the track that means the most to him, “Know the Feeling,” a heartfelt dedication to his mother.Listen in as he tells his story, filled with resilience, passion, and purpose.

Major Lewis Redmond's story sounds like it comes from a 19th century dime novel.  He was a Carolina moonshiner, an outlaw and, thanks to actually being in some of those dime novels after the Civil War, a folk hero. His killing of a U. S. Marshal led to a life on the run across North and South Carolina, making Redmond a legend.  Today we tell his story. Be sure to follow the Stories of Appalachia podcast on your favorite podcast app so you never miss a tale from the mountains.

After a few seconds, we all decided it was time for bed. The next morning, we went for breakfast in the restaurant – which was on the floor above the bar and directly over it. I quickly established that the restaurant and the kitchen adjoining it were indeed sited directly above the bar so the noises must have come from there.

Looking for terrifying Christmas horror stories to binge this December? This Weekly Spooky holiday special unleashes nine brutal Christmas horror tales packed with killer Santas, vengeful Krampus spirits, murderous androids, and snow-choked nightmares — the perfect Christmas horror podcast compilation for wrapping gifts, long drives, or late-night chills. Settle in for over-the-top holiday carnage as we revisit listener-favorite stories from across the Weekly Spooky vault, curated into one seamless Christmas horror anthology. From backwoods bloodbaths and cursed gifts to AI Santas gone rogue and Christmas Eve in a haunted psych ward, this bingeable episode delivers everything you love about the season… and everything you're secretly afraid of. Inside this episode:• All I Want For Christmas — by Morgan MooreA devoted father wants to give his daughter the perfect Christmas… even if it means doing something unimaginably horrific. As his plan spirals out of control, this tale asks just how far love — and denial — will go when the holiday lights are glaring and the secrets are buried deep. • Blood on the Snow — by Shane MigliavaccaOn Christmas Eve, bodies are piling up and a brutal killer stalks a snow-swept road. When a stranger stumbles into a roadhouse full of uneasy locals, blizzard-bound murder mystery turns into a fight for survival against something far more vicious than the storm outside. • Santa Claus is Killin' the Town — by Morgan MooreA cozy trip home for the holidays becomes a small-town Christmas slasher when an old local legend crashes the party. At the quaint Chamberlain Inn, tinsel, nostalgia, and hot cocoa give way to blood, panic, and the horrifying truth behind the town's festive folklore. • Krampus Is Comin' — by Rob FieldsA young woman becomes host to the spirit of Krampus on Christmas Eve, and suddenly the naughty finally get what's coming to them. This one is a bloody revenge fantasy where ho-ho-ho turns into no-no-NO as Krampus uses her body to settle every score. • Operation Deadly Night — by Keith TomlinA futuristic Santa Claus mod for home androids is supposed to spread cheer… until a glitch turns them into jolly killing machines. Families across America find themselves barricaded in their own homes, battling friendly-faced robots who only want one thing this Christmas: your last breath. • Dead Silent Night — by David O'HanlonLust, dark elves, and twisted tradition collide in a wickedly funny Christmas nightmare. What starts as a kinky holiday encounter turns into a deadly game where the “helpers” of the season have teeth, claws, and a very different wish list than you were expecting. • 12 Days — by Mike AshkeweFar from Earth on a ship called the Roanoke, a pilot trapped in deep space faces AI sabotage, time slipping, and existential dread over twelve long days of Christmas. This eerie sci-fi tale turns festive countdowns into a cosmic death sentence where no signal home can save you.  • A Christmas to Remember — by Joe SolmoDonnie finally comes home hoping for a fresh start, but the sins of his past are waiting under the tree. As old grudges ignite and fate takes a grisly turn, this story pushes holiday redemption into a dark corner where forgiveness and revenge are soaked in blood. • Xmas at the Psych Ward — by Bruce HaneyIt's Christmas Eve in a 1960s psychiatric hospital, complete with strange patients, questionable treatments, and staff who are hiding more than they heal. When the snow falls and the power flickers, holiday cheer curdles into institutional horror — and someone (or something) inside isn't staying in their room tonight. Whether you're decorating the tree, wrapping presents, or doom-scrolling through December, this Christmas horror stories marathon is built for bingeing: one epic episode, nine chilling tales, and enough killer Santas, Krampus justice, and winter nightmares to carry you straight through the season.Hit play, my spookies, and make Weekly Spooky your go-to Christmas horror podcast for long winter nights.

In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I sit down with Rick Dungey from the Christmas Spirit Foundation to explore the heartwarming mission behind Trees for Troops. This incredible program delivers real, farm-grown Christmas trees to military bases across the United States, bringing joy, comfort, and a touch of home to service members and their families during the holiday season. How Trees for Troops Supports Military Families Rick and I dive into how the foundation coordinates this massive effort every year. From working with tree farmers to organizing shipments to bases nationwide, the logistics behind Trees for Troops are impressive. It takes planning, precision, and a passionate community to make it all possible. We talk about how: Tree growers donate thousands of beautiful Christmas trees Volunteers step up to prepare, load, and distribute them Generous donors fund the mission And partners like FedEx provide essential transportation support It truly is a nationwide act of generosity—and every tree carries a message of appreciation. Stories of Impact From Service Members and Families One of the most meaningful parts of our conversation is hearing Rick share the stories of gratitude he's heard over the years. For many families, especially those with deployed loved ones, receiving a Christmas tree is more than a gift—it's a reminder that their service and sacrifice are recognized. These moments of connection and celebration bring holiday spirit to installations where it's needed most. How You Can Support Trees for Troops Throughout the episode, Rick explains several ways people can get involved: Donate directly to the Christmas Spirit Foundation Visit participating tree farms Volunteer during the collection and distribution events Share the mission with friends, family, and community groups If you're looking for a meaningful way to support military families during the holidays, this is it. You can learn more or get involved by visiting the Christmas Spirit Foundation website: https://www.christmasspiritfoundation.org/ Why This Mission Matters Talking with Rick reminded me how powerful small gestures can be—especially during the holidays. These trees bring families together, lift spirits, and remind our military community that they are supported and appreciated. Thank you, Rick, for joining me on the show and for everything you and your team do to spread Christmas cheer to those serving far from home. Merry Christmas!

From a taxidermist who collected human eyes to a killer trying to fill every square on a chessboard with a victim, these twelve serial killers didn't just murder — they turned their crimes into something far more twisted and personal.IN THIS EPISODE: We have all been guilty of wishing we had more money coming in. Some people go out and get a second job. Others look at what they have to sell online, or look at what skills they have to offer to the public that they could charge money for. Or you can go the route of Georgia Tann – her entrepreneurial spirit brought her millions of dollars. And it was a simple idea. Steal other people's children, and then sell them! (How To Get Rich By Stealing and Selling Children) *** We'll look at some historic serial murderers and the strange and unusual ways they killed their victims. (Strange Predilections in Murder Methods) *** When it comes to planning the burial of someone, it's always best to to keep in mind that whomever is watching how you treat the deceased might be in charge of deciding what happens to you when you die. Sadly, one undertaker, Millard F. Rodgers, apparently forgot about the golden rule – and committed gruesome acts against families. (Six Children, One Grave) *** Residents in the town of Blakeney are reporting something horrifying prowling around the neighborhood and backyards… something they describe as a devil dog… a hell hound… a black shuck.
