Aquest dissabte se celebra la quarta edició de la Kalatronada, un espectacle de percussió que reunirà diverses colles d'arreu del territori. La convocatòria és a tres quarts de set de la tarda al carrer de Sant Pere. Des d'allà s'iniciarà una cercavila que arribarà fins a la plaça de la Vila, on, cap a les vuit del vespre, tindran lloc diverses actuacions. Enguany hi participaran quatre colles convidades: la Colla de Percussió de Sa Forcanera, de Blanes; Diables Folls, de Palafolls; Catoqui i Tamara, d'Arenys de Munt; i la Banda del Rec, de Salt. Totes elles actuaran juntament amb la colla amfitriona, els Kalatrons. Guillem Minguella, president dels Kalatrons, explica que, un cop finalitzada la cercavila i arribats a la plaça de la Vila, cap a les vuit del vespre, les cinc formacions participants oferiran una actuació. «El que fem és un últim lluïment individual de cada colla, una rere l’altra fa una actuació estrella en estàtic a la plaça de la Vila. Per acabar, farem un ritme conjunt les cinc colles plegades».Guillem Minguella En el món de la percussió hi ha molt bona sintonia entre les colles. Minguella explica que s'ajuden mútuament i es donen suport, i assegura que els fa molta il·lusió poder reforçar, amb aquesta jornada, la germanor que ja existeix entre elles. Per a Minguella, el que fa especial aquesta proposta és que es tracta d'una celebració única a Lloret. «El que ho fa especial és que no tenim res semblant aquí al voltant a banda del correfoc que hi ha percussió, però una trobada amb exhibicions de cinc colles no es veu sovint a Lloret».Guillem Minguella La Kalatronada, que s'ha consolidat com una de les cites destacades del calendari festiu local és oberta a tothom i convida veïns i visitants a gaudir d'un vespre ple de ritme al centre de Lloret.

Im Monat Juni erscheinen anstelle einer dreiteiligen True-Crime-Serie zu einem Schweizer Kriminalfall ausnahmsweise drei Einzelfolgen zu jeweils einem Fall. *** An einem Donnerstagmorgen im Oktober 2022 treffen in der Zürcher Gemeinde Zumikon zwei Spaziergänger aufeinander. Sie sind beide mit ihren Hunden unterwegs. Dann taucht aus dem Wald ein Reh auf. Die Hunde greifen das Reh an. Es folgt eine hektische Szene: Die Hundehalter versuchen, ihre Tiere vom Reh zu trennen. Das gelingt ihnen schliesslich und das Reh kann flüchten. In diesem Moment ahnt jedoch noch niemand, dass dieser Vorfall den einen Hundehalter teuer zu stehen kommen wird. Denn als ein Jogger dazustösst, eskaliert die Situation. Mehrere Tage später wird der Kadaver eines Rehs gefunden. Es ist von Bisswunden gezeichnet. Die Polizei wird eingeschaltet und die Staatsanwaltschaft ordnet ein rund 4000 Franken teures Gutachten an, das aber keine klaren Erkenntnisse bringt. Trotzdem müssen sich die beiden Hundehalter vor Gericht verantworten. Wer hat das Reh wirklich verletzt? Waren es die Hunde der Spaziergänger – oder ein anderes Tier? Und was hat es mit dem Jogger auf sich, der das alles beobachtet hat? Fabienne Sennhauser, Redaktorin im Ressort Zürich Politik & Wirtschaft, hat zu diesem kuriosen Fall recherchiert. In einer Kurzfolge des Schweizer Crime-Podcasts «Unter Verdacht» berichtet sie davon.

On the afternoon of August 6, 1848, the HMS Daedalus was cutting through the gray waters of the south Atlantic when something surfaced alongside the ship — something enormous, something alive, and something that no man aboard had ever seen before. The officers who witnessed it were not excitable young sailors prone to ghost stories. They were Royal Navy men, educated and disciplined, with careers and reputations built on precision and credibility. Yet every one of them would go on record to describe the same thing: a massive serpentine creature moving through the open ocean as though it owned it. What followed their report would shake the British Admiralty, ignite a media firestorm across Victorian England, and launch a debate that has never been fully resolved.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: On August 6th, 1848 the crew of the HMS Daedalus spotted something monstrous from the deep – and it has become the most well-documented sea serpent sighting in history. (The HMS Daedalus Sea Monster) *** A notorious criminal is brought to justice, and later found to have just as notorious of a brain. (Hanging of a Notorious Brain) *** A burst of UFO activity took place on New Year's Eve outside of New York in 1982… so many sightings and reports it was impossible to ignore, even by skeptics. (The Hudson Valley Flap) *** A social experiment initiated by Stalin's Soviet Union ends with hundreds dead on the first day – but that was only the beginning of the horrors of what would later be known as “Cannibal Island”. (Joseph Stalin's Cannibal Island) *** A woman is involved in an accident, and once out of the hospital everyone appears to be afraid upon looking at her face… even her. But it's not the scars that are causing terror. (The Reflection That Drove To Death) *** One day in 1863 Doctor Joseph Rogers found himself dealing with a very distressing case. A young pregnant woman had been sent to a workhouse because her circumstances were so dire. Her name was Sarah Ann Eldridge, and her husband, Alfred Eldridge, was in prison waiting to be executed.

Poltergeist activity remains one of the most misunderstood and disputed phenomena in paranormal research. Unlike traditional hauntings, poltergeist cases — a term derived from the German words for "noisy ghost" — involve flying objects, spontaneous fires, unexplained sounds, and even physical assaults on the living. But are these terrifying events caused by restless spirits, or could the source of the chaos be something far closer to home? Researchers have documented dozens of cases suggesting that the answer may be both — and that certain locations seem to attract and amplify paranormal energy in ways that blur the line between haunting and human. From the infamous Tina Resch case in Columbus, Ohio, to the Enfield Poltergeist in North London, to a farm in Macomb, Illinois consumed by mysterious fires, the evidence points to something that science has yet to fully explain. These are the cases that have challenged investigators, baffled law enforcement, and left witnesses questioning everything they thought they knew about the world around them.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: We'll look at several cases of reported poltergeist activity and try to determine if it's supernatural, human in nature, or possibly a little of both. (Poltergeists) *** Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, the Abominable Snowman… unexplained and unproven two-legged hairy beasts are seen all over the world. But there is another strange hairy ape like creature in North America that doesn't get the same amount of press – but is just as mysterious and frightening as the others. (The Mysterious Devil Monkeys of North America) *** Weirdo family member Danny Rendon tells the true story of… (The Horror on Harbor Lights Drive) *** For over a century, mysterious lights were seen bobbing up and down along the railroad tracks near Maco Station, a few miles west of Wilmington, North Carolina. To this day no one knows what they were. (The Maco Light) *** The tragic Tina Resch case started with the claims of a poltergeist haunting… and ended with the death of a child. (The Tina Resch Poltergeist Case) *** Weirdo family member Alana describes her childhood home where she heard strange footsteps and banging on doors when no one was home, and a crucifix which refused to stay upright. (The Fallen Crucifix) *** An Australian man tells of a fishing trip where he and a couple of friends come across what appears to be a Yowie or Bigfoot… but more humanlike. (The Hairy Man of Kowmung River) *** Haunting the historic Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia are eerie tales of anguished soldiers, an eternal watch dog, and one hideous vampire with jagged teeth and hanging skin. (The Ghosts of Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery) *** Were Jack the Ripper's victims killed to cover up a Royal scandal?

His journey turned into a mystery, marked by sightings of a semi-truck driving erratically and Devin's last known moments of confusion. Despite an abandoned truck with undisturbed cargo and the eerie discovery of his skull two years later, the question remains: What happened to Devin Williams in those remote woods?

(The Guyra Ghost) *** In 1814, London experienced one of the most bizarre disasters in British history. An unfortunate chain of events at the Horseshoe Brewery led to the death of 8 women and children as they were caught up in London's Great Beer Flood. But, what really happened? And, did Londoners really get drunk, as beer flowed past their homes in the streets, free for the taking? (The Great London Beer Flood) *** Ghost marriages in China have led to a very unsavory and deeply disturbing trade. They are called ghost marriages, because the groom is given a dead woman to marry… often forced to do so. And the stories are, understandably, horrifying.

Mental institutions have a way of leaving their mark—whether it's through the haunting tales of abandoned asylums, the horrifying experiences shared by patients and staff, or the disturbing reality of 19th-century facilities that turned human suffering into a spectacle.Look for this podcast on YouTube Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other apps.

But even in the more well-funded locations, nightmares still occur according to both staff and patients. And even when those institutions are abandoned and left to rot, many refuse to release the tormented souls who have somehow found themselves entrapped there in the afterlife. We'll look at haunted asylums, we'll hear some horrifying true stories from both patients and workers about what happens inside asylums that are still in operation, and we'll learn about the horrifying reality of mental asylums in the 19th century acting almost like amusement parks for paying visitors.

We look at the cosmic riddle of life and death… and the place in-between… the near-death-experience… from the view of those who have personally gone through it, those around them when it happened, and the doctors and scientists trying to make sense of it. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: To some, the idea of life after death is comforting. It gives them a sense of hope that they will be reunited with loved ones who have passed away. For others, the thought of an afterlife is scary and uncertain. But regardless of how we feel about it, the topic of life after death is one that fascinates us all. And those who have had a near-death-experience are about the closest we'll ever get to finding an answer to that question – until we pass on ourselves. Tonight, we look at the cosmic riddle of life and death… and the place in-between… the near-death-experience… from the view of those who have personally gone through it, those around them when it happened, and the doctors and scientists trying to make sense of it.

So why is the case still in the cold case files?*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Three unsolved murders in the 1960s in Glasgow, Scotland terrorized those in the area.

Paramedics might not admit it, but spend enough nights in an old, abandoned hospital, and even the toughest start believing in ghosts.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Tonight it's a story I found just a few days ago at Creepypasta.com called “The Doctor” by a talented new horror author who goes by the moniker TechniGoth (link below). Paramedics are trained to face life and death with calm precision, but what about the unseen forces lurking in the spaces between? In an abandoned hospital nestled deep in the woods, one rookie EMT learns the truth about the profession's superstitions. Some say the dead don't clock out, and tonight, she'll discover just how true that is. This is a bit different than most stories I narrate, as the protagonist is a female – but rather than try to put on a false voice for her, I'll just use my normal speaking voice for her character. I'm sure that will be the less-annoying way to go. But I'll still try to create different voices for the rest of the characters as I come to them.HELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES…https://WeirdDarkness.com/ALBUMS = Songs and Videos by our Weird Darkness punk band, #DarkWeirdnesshttps://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harmhttps://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TheDoctorSOURCES and RESOURCES:“The Doctor” by TechniGoth: http://youtube.com/@TechnigothAuthor website: https://elizabethbottoni.substack.com/p/the-doctor(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman's Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman's Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot.

(Black Angel of Death) *** While camping, a man has dreams of a dark-haired woman several nights in a row.

A telethink researcher in the Florida Keys gets a warning from the stars — too late. A beer truck driver spends a sleepless weekend with something he accidentally created in his kitchen sink.

When Alison Conklin woke up with a stranger's heart beating in her chest, she also woke up with a stranger's appetite — a lifelong meat eater who suddenly couldn't stomach the thought of it, along with memories of songs she'd never heard and moments she'd never lived. She's not alone. Nearly 90 percent of transplant recipients in one study reported personality changes after surgery — new food cravings, unfamiliar emotions, even fragments of someone else's life bleeding into their own.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: On a Saturday night in 1948, Boston cab driver Samuel Paris was shot in the back of the head by a passenger — and investigators believe he knew it was coming, because in his final seconds he quietly slid his wristwatch up his sleeve to hide it, then deliberately crashed his cab into a parked car to make sure someone would see the man who killed him. The killer walked away. The meter was still running when police arrived. It's never been solved. (The Unexplained Mystery and Unsolved Murder of a 1948 Taxi Driver) *** Most people assume UFOs mean alien visitors, but researchers are uncovering evidence that points to possibilities far stranger — from classified black projects and reverse-engineered Nazi technology to time travelers, interdimensional beings, and ancient civilizations that predate recorded history. The answer to what's really in our skies may not come from the stars at all, but from somewhere much closer to home. (What If UFOs Aren't From Space) *** Scientists have discovered that humans possess a previously unknown ability to sense objects buried in sand before physically touching them — a skill previously observed only in shorebirds like sandpipers. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London tested volunteers who were asked to drag a finger through sand to locate a hidden cube, and found they succeeded far more often than random chance would predict. Even more impressive, human participants outperformed a sophisticated robotic arm equipped with AI, achieving 70.7% accuracy compared to the robot's 40%. (The Hidden Seventh Sense In Humans) *** A heart transplant saved Alison Conklin's life — but it also gave her someone else's memories, someone else's favorite songs, and someone else's stomach, because the moment she woke up from surgery, she could no longer eat meat. Scientists call it cellular memory, the theory that organs carry traces of their donors into new bodies, and the evidence is harder to dismiss than mainstream medicine would like to admit.

Isn't that romantic? No? Well, Clive Barker's 1992 horror cult classic “Candyman” actually began as a real-life love story. So how did it turn so gruesome and terrifying? (The Nightmarish Love Story Behind Horror's Candyman) *** The Enfield Poltergeist has become infamous thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren and “The Conjuring” films. That took place in a house in Brimsdown, Enfield, London England. But on the other side of the pond there is an Enfield, Illinois. Not as well known as the one in England of course, but they still have a horror in their past. One that took place four years before the Enfield incident in London… about a terrifying creature that locals who were alive at the time still get goosebumps talking about. (The Horror of the Enfield, Illinois Monster) *** Complex family dynamics and an infatuated businessman ended in a murder that was covered up and remained hidden for three decades, buried in the grounds of the house at 10324 Canyon Road. (A Dark Secret Leads To a Death On Canyon Road) *** One girl decided to go by the name of Lila, because her true name was Delilah but she didn't want to be associated with that harlot in the Bible. The stories behind how people get nicknames can often be fascinating. So how do you supposed Margaret Dickson got tagged with the nickname of “Half Hangit Maggie”? (Half Hangit Maggie) *** The search for intelligent life in the universe has been a goal for decades, with everyone from NASA to SETI to backyard Ufologists looking to the skies, listening to various radio waves, hoping to catch just a glimpse, at least a hint of what we hope to find. But could it be that we're looking in the wrong place? Perhaps the extraterrestrial intelligence, the more advanced life we seek to make contact with, is not out there somewhere… but it is here somewhere… already on Earth? (There Might Be Intelligent Life On Earth After All) *** Too often we are let down by those whom we look up to – and that goes doubly so for those in religious authority. How many well-known religious figures have toppled over after being exalted on high by the followers they so skillfully misled? Jim Bakker, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart… but none compare to Major Thomas Weir – a strict Presbyterian known for his powerful prayers, earning him a reputation for being one of the most saintly men of his time. But then he made a confession so outlandish, so ghastly and profane, they executed him.

But was she truly possessed, or suffering from schizophrenia? Or maybe something more sinister?*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*PARANORMAL PUNK SONGS BASED ON THIS EPISODE: https://weirddarkness.com/music-annelieseIN THIS EPISODE: IN THIS EPISODE: Most horror film fans will either have seen or at least know about the 2005 movie, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. The story follows a woman who acts as a kind of defense attorney for a priest who is on trial for murder after a girl dies when he performs an exorcism on her. The film is loosely… very loosely… based on a real story of a girl named Anneliese Michel, who so demonically possessed, that in the span of just ten months she forced to endure 67 exorcisms. (The 67 Exorcisms of Anneliese Michel) *** Ever since the beginning of the 16th century, Penkaet Castle has been the scene of a number of unexplained mysteries – and people who visited this old lonely Scottish castle have had some terrifying experiences. (The Peculiar Happenings at Penkaet Castle) *** When they knock on your door and say, “Let us in” or “We need to use the phone” – do not let them through the door if you notice their eyes are completely black. I'm talking about black-eyed children. Have you ever wondered what happens if they do get through the door? The answer is not pretty. (What Happens When You Let a Black-Eyed-Kid Inside Your House?) *** Is it possible that a tribe in the Amazon found a way to travel to another dimension thousands of years ago – and still do so today, through something called DMT? (The DMT Mystery) *** Why do ghosts haunt us? Author and researcher Brian Haughton has a few thoughts and the subject and takes us through a short history of ghostly folklore, and some theories as to why there are hauntings in the first place. (Ghosts and Folklore) *** Things begin to feel or sound wrong. You feel you are the size of a mouse, or the size of a mountain – or the objects you are looking at are the wrong size. The whole concept of time might become meaningless and confusing to you. You'll have no way to control it, your doctor won't be able to help, and you'll never see it coming. With a name like Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, it might sound harmless, but once you hear what it is, you'll hope or your children never get it.

Everyone knows the tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman — but the real history behind Washington Irving's classic is darker and stranger than the fiction. The Hudson River Valley's lawless past, real Hessian soldiers, and a real man named Ichabod Crane all played a part in creating one of America's most enduring ghost stories.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: The true story behind “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” - plus I'll narrate the entire story as Washington Irving wrote it back in 1820! *** Students move into a relative's home near where they'll be training on the job – and not even the owner of the home knew what frights were happening in her upstairs rooms.
