Story One – The Michigan Dogman"Somewhere in the north-woods darkness, a creature walks upright. And the best advice you may ever get is don't go out… at night."Whilst these words appear to have been born out of a harmless April Fool's Joke, for the residents of Michigan's heartland, they stir a deeply rooted apprehension. The fear of a mythical beast, stories of which have been passed down through the centuries. A creature known as, the Michigan Dogman.Story Two – The Beast of GévaudanDuring a three-year period of the mid-18th century, a mysterious creature was responsible for the gruesome slayings of over one hundred people living in a small region of southern France. Some say the beast was eventually caught and killed, whilst others believe it is still very much at large. In this story, we examine the Beast of Gévaudan?MUSIC Tracks used by kind permission of Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0Tracks used by kind permission of CO.AGSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yan Ge and Jeremy Tiang are both writers who accumulate languages. Sitting down with host Emily Hyde, they discuss their work in and across Chinese and English, but you'll also hear them on Sichuanese, the dialect of Mandarin spoken in Yan Ge's native Sichuan province, and on the Queen's English as it operates in Singapore, where Jeremy grew up. Yan is an acclaimed writer in China, where she began publishing at age 17. She now lives in the UK. Her novel Strange Beasts of China came out in English in 2020, in Jeremy's translation. Jeremy, in addition to having translated more than 20 books from Chinese, is also a novelist and a playwright currently based in New York City. This conversation roams from cryptozoology to Confucius, from the market for World Literature to the patriarchal structure of language. Yan reads from the “Sacrificial Beasts” chapter of her novel, and Jeremy envies the brevity and compression of her Chinese before reading his own English translation. Throughout this warmhearted conversation, Yan and Jeremy insist upon particularity: upon the specificity of language, even in translation, and the distinctiveness of identity, even in a globalized world. We learn more about Yan's decision to write in English, and Jeremy's cat chimes in with an answer to our signature question about untranslatability! Tune in and keep a look out for Yan's English-language debut, Elsewhere, a collection of stories, due out in 2023.

Fabrizio Gavosto"Festival Mirabilia"https://www.festivalmirabilia.it/"Strange Beasts from Outer Space", questo il titolo della XVIma edizione di Mirabilia International Circus & Performing Arts Festival, ideato e organizzato dall' Associazione IdeAgorà con la direzione artistica di Fabrizio Gavosto.Il Festival multidisciplinare di circo, danza e teatro che non si è mai fermato negli ultimi due anni di emergenza sanitaria ritorna con una grande edizione che mette al centro l'uomo, attraverso il suo rapporto con la natura, con il selvaggio così come fece Hermann Melville con il suo Moby Dick. A Mirabilia dunque le folli e acrobatiche performance di Eventi Verticali, il grande veicolo della Compagnia Akoreacro, l'enorme balena del Teatro dei Venti, gli strani figuri di CirkVost e moltissime altre performance, intime o di grandi dimensioni, capaci di narrare il rapporto di scontro e conflitto e insieme di amore e indivisibilità fra uomo e natura. Per l'edizione 2022 Mirabilia presenta - ora che le normative nuovamente lo possono consentire - un cartellone di grandissimi eventi, a cui si affiancano veri e propri percorsi di scoperta delle aree più innovative delle performing arts in cui generi e stili si destrutturano per ricomporsi in forme nuove e talvolta ancora da esplorare. Il pubblico potrà così scoprire le grandi Compagnie europee, per poi passare ai teatri, cortili, giardini e piazze, soffermarsi sugli spettacoli di teatro di strada e confrontarsi con linguaggi diversi e talvolta più intimi.Una programmazione che conferma la continuità del lavoro di Mirabilia e il prezioso e fondamentale legame del Festival con la Città di Cuneo, con il cuneese e con il Piemonte, regione che dal punto di vista delle arti performative, è oggi fortemente identificata dal circo contemporaneo così come dalla danza e dai linguaggi performativi fisici che non conoscono barriere di linguaggio. Un Mirabilia non solo Festival di programmazione ma anche di creazione in un'ottica di valorizzazione che segue gli artisti in un percorso completo che si concretizza con il sostegno alle Compagnie, con spazi di creazione offerti alle stesse attraverso Residenze artistiche che hanno luogo a Busca e programmate durante l'intero anno sul territorio con il coinvolgimento del pubblico e delle realtà che lo abitano.Come il direttore artistico Fabrizio Gavosto conferma attraverso le sue parole "Lo sviluppo di un evento dipende dallo sviluppo e dalla crescita dei suoi fruitori, del suo staff, della sua coscienza, del suo impatto, ma soprattutto dallo sviluppo della realtà che lo circonda. Nessun festival è un'isola a se stante, ma bensì fibra di un tessuto, parte integrante e necessaria di tutte quelle fibre diverse che insieme compongono la nostra società".

In Episode 256, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger take a week off, so they introduce you to an episode from the vault: Three Strange Beasts from the Woods of Maine, which originally aired March 5, 2020. In the woods of western Maine, we search for the Agropelter, the Billdad, and the Tote Road Shagamaw. These legendary creatures have haunted and hunted loggers for decades. Are they just tall tales told around the campfire at the end of the day, or could there be something more to it?
Strange Beasts and The Son of Man - Owen Gallacher - 12 June 2022 by St Aldates Church
We continue our series in the Old Testament book of Daniel. It's a famous story filled with memorable characters, proud kings, political intrigue, pressures to compromise, impossible odds, miraculous rescues, and symbolic visions of the future. But, ultimately, Daniel is about life in an unbelieving land, far from home, with your faith under pressure. In it, Daniel reassures God's people that, despite appearances to the contrary, God is in control and faithfully at work.
In this month's Read, Watch and Listen episode our reading recs are a little bit on the dark side, Jade shares Strange Beasts of China by Yan Ge, David reads a collection of short horror stories originally published in 1895, The King of Yellow by Robert Chambers and Sarah listens to Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. Jade excitedly shares her love for the podcast turned Netflix show Archive 81, Sarah discusses The Drop Out on Hulu and David scares the girls by talking about the Chuckie tv show.

An introductory study on the strange prophetic beasts found in Revelation 12, 13 and 17. We will examine what these four beasts represent:1 in Revelation 122 in Revelation 131 in Revelation 17Revelation 13:1-3 KJVAnd I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.---During many of our podcasts, you will hear us make reference to “The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study,” a document which outlines core concepts shown in the scriptures that will help you better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines. We have done a whole podcast series on these principles which can be found here.Lastly, we recommend that you check out https://TrueWisdom.buzzsprout.com for additional Bible Study podcasts, covering many different Bible topics, and done in a slightly different format from the podcasts on this channel.We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comRelated Documents:Summary of earth's final eventsThe Great Tribulation & the Time of TroubleThe Symbols of Revelation Chapter 13The Name, Number, Mark and Image of 'The Beast'Related Podcasts:Who is the Adversary?Do You Know What to Do?End-Time Prophecy PrimerA Different Perspective on Current EventsWhat is the purpose of Prophecy, anyway?What's the Point of Prophecy, anyway (at TrueWisdom)Support the show (https://cash.app/$ASBzone)
Sorry to keep keeping you waiting. Life's a little funny sometimes So the Sleeping One continues to rampage through Town. No one is really loving that, but it got me thinking about the other big strange beasts that have come around in the past. Maybe if we can understand those creatures, we can understand the Sleeping One. So if you know anything about strange beasts, or have any experience getting really big to fight them, give us a call. It's common knowledge that any mysterious tape you find on the ground or in the sewer or whatever will either be Marc Cohn's hit song "Walking In Memphis" or, if you're lucky, it'll be Truck Stop Lover by The Little Tulips.
