¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! En una tranquila calle de Thornton Heath, una casa cualquiera guarda un secreto que ha permanecido en la sombra durante años. Todo comenzó con pequeños sucesos: luces que se apagaban solas, murmullos en la noche, y muebles que parecían moverse sin explicación. Pero lo que al principio era inquietante, pronto se convirtió en aterrador. Las personas que vivían en esa casa sintieron algo más... una presencia que no podían ver, pero que sabían que estaba allí. ¿Qué provoca estos fenómenos? ¿Qué oscuro misterio se oculta tras esas paredes? Nadie ha podido explicarlo, pero quienes han estado allí aseguran que es algo que va más allá de lo comprensible. En este episodio de La Gruta de las Estrellas, te adentrarás en una historia que desafía la razón. Un misterio que, hasta el día de hoy, sigue sin resolverse. ¿Te atreves a descubrir El Secreto Oscuro de Thornton Heath? Guion, locución y dirección: Alberto Guzmán. Música: Alberto Guzmán.

In this transformative dialogue with Bhishma Asare, a rap artist turned social entrepreneur, we explore the healing power of rap as a form of therapy, the vital work he's doing with troubled youth, and the grind it takes to make it as a change maker in today's world. From the birth of Rap Therapy to his perspective on perfectionism, we cover a range of topics that tap into both the emotional and practical aspects of social entrepreneurship and creative expression.   This Episode Is For You If: ✅ You're intrigued by the potential of rap as a transformative tool for challenging youth. ✅ You're an educator, social worker, or parent looking for alternative methods to reach troubled youth. ✅ You're passionate about social entrepreneurship and want to know the grind behind the glam.  ✅ You struggle with perfectionism and want insights on how to overcome it.   About Bhishma: Bhishma isn't just another rapper; he's a revolutionary force in both the music and social work sectors. Raised in Thornton Heath and touted as the "rapper, next in line," he offers an authentic view into the world he comes from and the issues he aims to solve. Featured in outlets like The Metro and having performed at venues ranging from Croydon Box Park to BBC Radio, Bhishma leverages his art for a purpose far greater than fame - making lasting social change.   If you're moved by our conversation, please subscribe and leave us a review or rating. Your engagement helps us amplify the stories that need to be told and voices that need to be heard.

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.The first of Dan's stories this week is the more documented of the two. Dan will be taking everyone to the late 1930s, and to the Greater London area of England, to examine the haunting of Alma Fielding. In 1938, Alma Fielding, a 34-year-old housewife in Thornton Heath, a southern suburb of London, went to the press complaining of a poltergeist having invaded her home. Many, many people witnessed intense paranormal activity centered around Alma. The second story is the tale of a 19th century South Carolina woman who seems to have suffered an incredibly tragic death when she was accidentally buried alive. Does the ghost of Julia Legare still haunt her family's tomb on Edisto Island, South Carolina? Lynze's portion of the show is made up of four small stories: a skin walker, a ghost, a self driving school bus and the woman in the mirror! Enjoy! New Merch: Super cool new Swamp Monster tee in the merch store this week.

In this episode David Strank, Director of Stranks Removals & Storage discusses how he became a third-generation remover after beginning his fulltime career in the industry at the tender age of 16 (although he helped in his father's business from the age of 11!), even after being told not to join the family business. Stranks Removals & Storage was started by David's grandfather in Thornton Heath, Surrey, in 1941, who was an engineer by trade working in the bomb factory during the day and moving people from their bombed homes during the night. Today Stranks Removals & Storage are based in Ashford, Kent, having taken the decision several years ago to completely relocate themselves to a brand new area. They cover all aspects of removals, running 4 trucks, 5 vans, employ 17 staff and store 250 containers within their own 13,000 sqft warehouse. David's challenges have been varied, but an immense challenge was relocating the company from Thornton Heath to Ashford. Covid was and still is a massive challenge, and so too is accepting change. David would like to change a few things from his moving past, not taking things personally, joining the BAR earlier, not to get too familiar with staff, and try to employ nonfamily members within the office. One of David's biggest highpoints was to see his son join the business and become a fourth-generation remover, his other highpoints include becoming chairman of the BAR Kent Area, and then becoming elected as a BAR DED (Directly Elected Director), something David has thoroughly enjoyed. David would like the industry to be recognised, but he would also like to change the completion system as in its current state it is simply not fit for purpose anymore. The advice David would give, firstly to his son who hasn't long been in the industry himself is to always go that extra mile, and then to himself just starting out in the industry again is to ensure you make time for yourself outside of the industry. In the next 5 years David sees himself hopefully only working 3-4 days a week, industry wise he does believe the completion system will change, emission zones and thus vehicles will play a big part within the industry, full packing (and unpacking) will become the norm as more and more people work from home, and we'll continue to have problems with recruiting and keeping drivers. Outside of the industry David is very active, competing in motorcycle trials (show jumping on motorcycles), playing golf, and enjoying the 8 acres of land that came with his own recent house move. And as always with end Moving Matters with several short funny moving stories, involving moves in snow, a moustache, a man in a dress, and a dilemma over intimate photographs! Enjoy!

A mother and her now ex-partner have been found guilty of killing her son after weeks of violent abuse. Kyrell Matthews, aged two, was found in cardiac arrest at a home in Thornton Heath, south London, in October 2019. He had 41 rib fractures when he died, which his mother Phylesia Shirley, 24, said were caused when she gave him CPR. Following a trial at the Old Bailey, Shirley was convicted of manslaughter and Kemar Brown was found guilty of murder. Sentencing has been adjourned to 25 March. Addressing Shirley, Mr Justice Lucraft QC said the court had had to listen to recordings she made of the abuse meted out to a "defenceless" young boy. Instagram: @cfr_news #JusticeForKyrell

This case is considered one of the most gruesome murder cases in Hong Kong's history. Dani covers the Alma Fielding poltergeist, aka the Croydon poltergeist, aka the Thornton Heath poltergeist. After a string of shattered glasses, lightbulbs, and eggs in the house, Alma called for help.

This week we are joined by our great friend Joseph Bediako, who leads Beulah Family Church in Thornton Heath. Joseph continues our "Together For The Gospel" series, by teaching from from Philippians 2:12-18 and encouraging us to bring a positive attitude to the world around us.

This week Vanessa and Freddie look into two of London's most notorious poltergeist cases. The Croydon Poltergeist Thornton Heath Poltergeist Remember to follow on us instagram @thehauntedpodcastofficial and to email your own stories to thehauntedpodcastofficial@gmail.com Links to the books we reference are below and available to buy on amazon! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Haunting-Alma-Fielding-Ghost-Story/dp/1408895455/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=kate+summerscale&qid=1618605849&s=books&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Poltergeist-Investigation-Into-Destructive-Haunting/dp/1789043972

There are hundreds and thousands of cases of hauntings and ghost activity, spread across the world, and across time. We hear the tales of the things which go bump in the night, the whispers of the shadows who duck from sight just as our eyes catch them in the doorways and corners. We see the grainy photos, the questionable orbs, the video footage of the door creaking open by itself. Some of it is remarkable, some of it could surely be proof of something. Though much of it can also be explained away, debunked, at the very least doubted. But occasionally, there is a case which cannot be disputed. A situation, of a haunting by ghosts or spirits, the dead, the passed-on, or by what we know as a poltergeist. Many would posit that such things are not indeed spirits of the once-living, but separate entities entirely. When the great, landmark cases come along, they are documented and studied and remembered throughout time, and the evidence and the happenings which took place during it become the next clues towards what exactly is going on. We have the case surrounding Borley Rectory or Thornton Heath, the events surrounding the legends of the Bell Witch or the Black Monk of Pontefract, and the infamous Enfield poltergeist. With a level of intrigue, seeming confidence in itself, and an unparalleled level of violence and intensity, none are more worthy of note than the case of the South Shields poltergeist. My guest tonight was a writer and researcher of all things paranormal with numerous publications to his name, when he was contacted to help with the case. What ensued over the months which followed present a terrifying and inarguable case of torment and horror. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Darren W Ritson to the show to talk about his work and the case and to tell us how he was thrown into the middle of a whirlwind which left him no choice but to Peer Beyond The Veil. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/peerbeyondtheveil/support

Poltergeists: does anyone even call them that anymore? This week, Geordie & Michelle look at three scary London hauntings from the 1930s, the 1950s and the 1970s... But only after Geordie does a swear, there's a brief mention of Eavesdroppin' Patron Saint Ben Mendelsohn, Geordie gives herself 10 Jen points and the pair speak in bad German accents. So... onto the hauntings! Michelle kicks off the ep with the tale of Alma Fielding and the Thornton Heath haunting. Did Alma's pink porcelain dog really smash? Did Alma really manifest a mouse? Why is no one called Alma anymore? Big questions on this week's episode. Was Alma's house really haunted or was she simply projecting repressed memories... You decide! Geordie moves onto the notorious case of the Enfield Haunting... Specifically, the BBC show The Reunion and the time she heard it in her car and had to pull over, she was so scared! We hear all about the two Peggys, 11 year old Janet Hodgson and a foul mouthed entity called Bill Wilkins who seems to be in love with Janet and how he haunted their lives for 18 months. This was after the girls used a ouija board... SO PEEPS, REMEMBER, YOUR OUIJA BOARD IS NOT A TOY!!!! Then it's onto the Battersea Poltergeist... sit back, grab a cup of mushroom coffee and let Geordie tell you all about Shirley Hitchings and Donald the poltergeist, who haunted her and her family for 12 YEARS!!!! yep. Whoa. What the actual F. Tapping, hammer toes, flying objects and media skepticism all kept the case alive for more than a decade, but at the end of it all, who really knows whether Donald was real or not or indeed, whether any of us will ever know whether Poltergeists truly exist...    Enjoy the episode and KEEP EAVESDROPPIN'!

It's Part 2 of our specials celebrating black businesses to reclaim Black Friday and celebrate #BlackPoundDay in the UK which is the first Saturday of the month in the UK and for this episode we speak to our lovely neighbours Ade Adeleke and Carmelita Goodwin, owners and managers of Stones Gym in Thornton Heath, south London. This incredible couple of 32 years purchased a gym 14 years ago, as they had a vision to own their own business which would enable them to blend their skills and passion with a business which creates an safe, supportive and inclusive environment for their local community and members who frequent the gym. Ade and Carmelita tell us about how they met (Hammersmith Palais was the spot back in the day wasn't it??), what inspired them to buy the gym, the challenges and the joys of running their own business. We also hear about the difficulties during Covid-19 and their plans for 2021, as well as why Ade had to change his name to Michael...The Start Line Girls (who hate going to gyms) absolutely loved speaking with this amazing couple and were certainly convinced about attending Stones Gym, just to get the experience of working out in a warm and nurturing environment (the ladies gym sounds wonderful). We look forward to getting round there!You can follow Stones Gym on Instagram on @stonesthegym or check out their website: https://www.stonesgym.co.ukWe'd love to hear from you, so please follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook by searching for @thestartlinepod and subscribe to the show on your favourite podcast provider or our website - https://www.thestartlinepod.com!

Between the grief-stricken World Wars, poltergeists were very busy all over Britain. They were very active tormenting families in quiet neighbourly suburbs with their noisy rumblings, feats of furniture movement, smashing cups, saucers, anything that wasn't pinned down, apparently. Seances were very fashionable, and efforts to document hauntings by ghosts or poltergeists, to find solid evidence for their existence or not, were serious and intense. Nandor Fodor, chief ghost hunter at the International Institute for Psychical Research, investigated the haunting of Alma Fielding, a 34 year old housewife from Thornton Heath whose life was being made miserable by uncontrollable and inexplicable events. So were poltergeists real, or were they actually a reflection of Alma Fielding's own traumatic past?

The girls talk about dinosaurs and ghosts! And the ghosts of dinosaurs, mostly people though. Also 2000s ghosts, why are there none of those around? We talk about the ghost story of Thornton Heath in the 1970s and the flying dutchman, made popular by Pirates of the Caribbean and Spongebob.  Support us on Patreon to help us keep creating podcasts!https://www.patreon.com/mythsmagicmurderFollow us on social media!@Mythsmagicpod on Twitter, Instagram & Facebookemail us at mythsmagicandmurder@gmail.comWebsite : Mythsmagicandmurder.weebly.com__________________________________MUSIC CREDIT:INTRO - Spook by PeriTune (Royalty Free Music) Music provided by No Copyright Music:https://www.youtube.com/c/royaltyfreezoneMusic used: Spook by PeriTunehttps://soundcloud.com/sei_peridot/spookLicensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/VOICE OVER BY RICKY WHELAN - Added to Spook by Peritune.ENDING MUSIC by Myuu iTunes ● http://bit.ly/1PnVqID Bandcamp ● http://bit.ly/1GQMSk6https://youtu.be/zV-P1xa8rGI___________________________________Thanks for listening !

We're two athletes with stories to tell of our long careers.  If you don't know us, then here's a bit about us. So one of us is Dan Greaves - better known in our world as Discus Dan - and that's because he throws the discus pretty far.  Far enough to win the Gold medal at the Athens Paralympics in the F44/46.  And silver at Sydney in 2000 and London in 2012.  And bronze in Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016.  He's three times World Champion, 4 times European Champion and once Commonwealth Champion.  And he's from Anstey in Leicestershire. And the other is Martyn Rooney.  Also known as Rooney.  He got a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 4x400m relay.  He's got a silver and two bronze in the World Championships in the relay.  And three golds, two silvers and a bronze in the European Championships in the relay and individual.  He's from Thornton Heath but now lives in Loughborough. This episode looks back to the London Olympics and the London Paralympics in 2012 - the biggest sporting event to be held in the UK in this millennium.   We talk about what it's like to walk out in front of 80,000 fans.  And how it feels when you run badly and that crowd goes quiet!  Dan reveals his idea to get the edge in the warm-up room.   More about Dan on discusdan.co.uk And follow us on social media @DiscusDan @MartynRooney

In episode twenty-four, Ty talks all about the murder that sparked the curiosity of so many and even inspired a movie "Heavenly Creatures”. Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme viciously mudered Parker's mother for what they percieved to be a personal affront to their friendship. A remarkable example of Whitney's favorite topic, folie a deux, and a favorite movie for both, this one is truly interesting to say the least. Whitney continues the episode with two reported poltergeist occurrences in the same area, separated by years. She tells both stories affiliated with Thornton Heath, England and the people afflicted with consistent attacks by unseen forces. So, sit back, relax, and have a drink with us.

  Roy Stemman is Editor of Psychic News  was a weekly British Spiritualist newspaper published from 1932 to July 2010, and revived with a change in ownership in December 2011. The first issue of the paper was published on 28 May 1932. The name of the paper was devised by one of its founding editors, Maurice Barbanell, who said that he was told to use it by his spirit guide. The other founding members were Hannen Swaffer, a Fleet Street journalist, and Arthur Findlay, a notable figure in the history of Spiritualism in Britain. In 1938 psychical researcher Nandor Fodor was attacked in the Psychic News newspaper for his skeptical evaluation of the Thornton Heath poltergeist case. Fodor sued the newspaper for libel.[1] The publisher of Psychic News from 1932 to 1980 was Psychic Press Ltd. The newspaper was next supported by the Spiritual Truth Foundation (STF). In 1995 the Spiritualists National Union (SNU) acquired it, and both the publishing and bookshop departments were relocated to Stansted Hall — better known as The Arthur Findlay College.[2] With the rise of the Internet PN added a web site, which included a bookstore and back issue division for online sales. Although the primary focus of the Psychic News was always Spiritualism, and it was strongly associated with the SNU even before that organization acquired ownership of it, it was the policy of PN to cover a wide variety of subjects of interest to its readers. For instance, in November 1947 the paper covered the fact that a committee of Anglican ministers had supported Spiritualism in 1936 and that the report had been suppressed by the Anglican Church. This investigative report by the Psychic News caused the Psychic News itself to become the topic of articles in The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.[4][5] In the 1950s and 1960s, with the rise of the neopagan religion of Wicca, several articles about Wicca and witchcraft were published in the magazine, including “Genuine Witchcraft Is Defended” by Robert Cochrane. From that time forward the newspaper dealt with other paranormal, supernatural and New Age topics in addition to spiritualism.

In the UK The Queen is getting ready to pass the mantle to the Prince of Wales according to the Daily Mirror. A woman, who cannot be named, says she was given a brown envelope stuffed with bank notes by an SAS officer who told her to 'keep quiet about Diana'. This is a story which will not go away. In the UK there's a radical bid to slash Britain’s benefits bill, the Prime Minister intends to stop printing welfare paperwork in foreign languages. There is also rhetoric about not 'paying benefits to those who do not speak English. What are the judges up to in Britain? Halima Jimale, 68, was allowed into Britain to be reunited with her daughter Fadumo Mohamed who claims £310 a week in handouts and lives in a council house, after a tribunal ruling. Should the judges be making such a ruling? Meanwhile, Julia Rawson, 59, of Intake, Sheffield, is suing police for allegedly wrecking her home during a raid in September 2012. She was found to be growing Cannabis. Another amazing judgement-Convicted Colombian blackmailer Isaias Gaviria-Manrique, who was deported after committing a burglary, is entitled to a 'more than nominal sum' against the Home Secretary, a deputy High Court judge has ruled. This is barmy! Also, Joland Giwa, a gangster who lived in Thornton Heath, south London, was jailed in October 2008 for 27 months after being convicted of two robberies. He apparently can't be deported as he won't say where he came from. This is another barmy situation! All this is set against ..more than £3.5billion was lost from the welfare budget last year, raising doubts about government efforts to catch welfare cheats and curb bungling by officials. How crazy is this?
