When Mary Reeser was reduced to ashes in her favorite recliner with no sign of fire spreading beyond her body, investigators were left with an unsettling question—was this a tragic accident, or proof of spontaneous human combustion?IN THIS EPISODE: When police found her in 1951, she was almost entirely ash. But mysteriously, the rest of her apartment remained almost perfectly intact. We'll look at the death of Mary Reeser – which became known as “The Cinder Woman Case”. (Did Mary Hardy Reeser Spontaneously Combust?) *** Most crimes are pretty ordinary – assault, robbery, the occasional murder, but once in a while a crime is committed in a strange, shocking way – to the point it's almost hard to believe what you are hearing is a true story. I'll share a few of those strange crimes. (Creepy Crimes and Crazy Criminals) *** One of the reasons we find chimpanzees so interesting is because they are so much like humans – in body shape, the way they express themselves, it's eerie sometimes. But still, we know they are just apes. Then there is the strange case of Oliver – a chimpanzee that also appeared to be human. Or was he a human that appeared to be a chimpanzee? Or, is it possible, that Oliver was a genuine genetic hybrid of the two? We'll look at his incredibly strange story. (Oliver, The Humanzee) *** Some hauntings are more terrifying than others – and some are stranger than others. What happened to the Palzon family in Zaragoza, Spain possibly qualifies for both. They didn't have a typical haunting – this was no poltergeist or spirit of a recently passed person… they were terrorized by a horrifying goblin. (The Zaragoza Goblin) *** Most haunted paintings are hundreds of years old – but one in particular was painted in the late 20th Century, and to many, it is the most disturbing painting they've ever laid eyes on.

Space to Breath Tommy Thompson pt 2 In this busy world – that seems to get busier almost every single day – sometimes we need to just take a step back, pause and just take a deep breath. Often, just that one thing can give us the clarity we seek. Sometimes, it can also save us from doing something that could have adverse consequences. Amen! It seems like everyone we talk to is feeling overwhelmed by life, Pastor Bob included. Amen!  Yet, we just keep on pushing. Often taking on more and more – all with the intent of achieving what we dream of as “success.” But it seems that “the faster we go, the behinder we get.” Amen! There are just too many balls we are juggling and trying to keep them all up in the air at the same time.  And if you ever noticed a juggler that drops one ball, it seems it causes almost ALL OF THE BALLS to drop! Amen! Our guest today has learned how to just, step back and take a breath (so to speak) and is now helping others to find that guiding peace as well. Tommy Thompson is our guest today and he is the author of “SPACE TO BREATHE AGAIN.”Tommy is a successful business leader who has learned the importance of finding space to breathe in his busy life. He now shares his tips for dealing with stress, making time for yourself, and finding peace of mind. In fact, if you are feeling the stress of being overwhelmed at times and just need to find the space to breath – you will be blessed by this interview today, Praise God! Share with us about your book, “Space to Breathe Again.”  This book was published back in 2020. Why did you write this book and what is you are trying to accomplish?  You have several stories used as examples throughout your book. Can you give us a quick synopsis of one of those stories here, to serve as an example? As folks go through your book, you have laid out each chapter to build upon three key strategies. Can you share those strategies with us? You mentioned “breathing exercises.” What kind of breathing exercises do you use to, as you say, “Restore God's unforced rhythms of grace.”  Can you share one of those examples here? What is the number one thing you would like your readers to take away and remember while reading your book? You also have a podcast, titled “Space for Life.”  Share about your podcast with us… How long have you been podcasting? If you had to sum up everything in one statement, about your book, etc., what would be the number one thing you would like our listeners to remember from our conversation today? How can someone order a copy of your book, “Space to Breathe Again?” I take it is on Amazon? Tommy, this has been so interesting.

IN THIS EPISODE: When police found her in 1951, she was almost entirely ash. But mysteriously, the rest of her apartment remained almost perfectly intact. We'll look at the death of Mary Reeser – which became known as “The Cinder Woman Case”. (Did Mary Hardy Reeser Spontaneously Combust?) *** Most crimes are pretty ordinary – assault, robbery, the occasional murder, but once in a while a crime is committed in a strange, shocking way – to the point it's almost hard to believe what you are hearing is a true story. I'll share a few of those strange crimes. (Creepy Crimes and Crazy Criminals) *** One of the reasons we find chimpanzees so interesting is because they are so much like humans – in body shape, the way they express themselves, it's eerie sometimes. But still, we know they are just apes. Then there is the strange case of Oliver – a chimpanzee that also appeared to be human. Or was he a human that appeared to be a chimpanzee? Or, is it possible, that Oliver was a genuine genetic hybrid of the two? We'll look at his incredibly strange story. (Oliver, The Humanzee) *** Some hauntings are more terrifying than others – and some are stranger than others. What happened to the Palzon family in Zaragoza, Spain possibly qualifies for both. They didn't have a typical haunting – this was no poltergeist or spirit of a recently passed person… they were terrorized by a horrifying goblin. (The Zaragoza Goblin) *** Most haunted paintings are hundreds of years old – but one in particular was painted in the late 20th Century, and to many, it is the most disturbing painting they've ever laid eyes on.
