vægmaleriet.En: There it was, behind her - the mural.Da: Et øjebliks månelys brød ind gennem et smadret vindue og afslørede værkets skønhed.En: A moment of moonlight broke through a smashed window, revealing the beauty of the work.Da: Farverne, figurerne og det skjulte budskab var overvældende.En: The colors, the figures, and the hidden message were overwhelming.Da: Freja stod stille, fanget af det ukendte kunstners talent.En: Freja stood still, captivated by the unknown artist's talent.Da: Med ny energi skyndte hun sig tilbage til Mads og Kasper, der engsteligt ledte efter hende.En: With renewed energy, she hurried back to Mads and Kasper, who were anxiously searching for her.Da: "Jeg fandt det!"En: "I found it!"Da: råbte hun.En: she shouted.Da: Hendes støvler sparkede blade op, mens hun hastigt løb hen til dem.En: Her boots kicked up leaves as she quickly ran to them.Da: "Det er fantastisk."En: "It's amazing."Da: De kiggede lettede på hende.En: They looked at her with relief.Da: Sammen forlod de lageret, hun forrest med et smil, bredt som skyerne.En: Together, they left the warehouse, with her leading the way and a smile as wide as the sky.Da: Turen havde skubbet hende ud af sin komfortzone, men hun stod nu stærkere, mutigere og med en ny forståelse for det, der kan findes, når man vover at kigge det ukendte i øjnene.En: The trip had pushed her out of her comfort zone, but now she stood stronger, braver, and with a new understanding of what can be discovered when daring to look the unknown in the eye.Da: Frejas indre ild glødede.En: Freja's inner fire glowed.Da: Hvis dette var skattene, hun kunne finde i det glemte bylandskab, hvad ville der så vente næste gang?En: If these were the treasures she could find in the forgotten urban landscape, what would await next time?

In 1940s Italy, a desperate mother believed that turning three women into soap and tea cakes would save her son from dying in World War II.HOUR ONE: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========HOUR TWO: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:BOOK: “The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries” by W.Y.

In 1950, a teenage babysitter's frantic call to police was cut short by her brutal murder - a real-life horror that would evolve into one of America's most chilling urban legends and inspire countless retellings, including the classic horror-thriller film "When a Stranger Calls."Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Joyce Vincent was a 38-year-old woman from London with a family and friends. So why did it take over two years for people to realize she had died? (No One Noticed She Was Dead) *** A castle in Scotland is so cursed that it has continued for several generations. (The Centuries Old Curse of Fyvie Castle) *** Year after year a 1950 photo from a German newspaper has continued to circulate amongst Ufologists and UFO enthusiasts.

You'll also hear about his friendship with Ed & Lorraine Warren, the White Lady of Easton, and how his podcast New England Legends helped inspire the book. Along the way, Jim and Jeff swap eerie experiences about interviewing people just before they passed away, the role of storytelling in grappling with death and the unknown, and why legends matter more than ever in our information-overloaded world. This is a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and spooky conversation. It's perfect for the start of Halloween season.

Auch fast 50 Jahre nach dem viel zu frühen Tod von Elvis Presley im August 1977 mit nur 42 Jahren gibt es Menschen, die nicht akzeptieren können oder wollen, dass der King of Rock ’n‘ Roll nicht mehr unter uns weilt. Immer wieder gibt es Sichtungen, und es gibt zahllose Bücher und Erzählungen, die uns erklären wollen, warum der „King” seinen Tod nur vortäuschte und heute, von der Öffentlichkeit zurückgezogen, lebt. Endlich haben wir uns dieser prototypischen Verschwörungserzählung angenommen und ganz genau hingeschaut. Ihr findet unsere Umfrage hier. Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

First, Ben and Celestia discuss the needle-spiking panic fallout, missing kids in Virginia, screw worms, radioactive shrimp and seeing double in Las Vegas. Then our main segment is secret signs and signals! Real or legendary, these signs and markers are throughout human history to tell "those in the know" what to expect (food, sex, danger). From secret codes sewn into quilts to help the Underground Railroad effort to rock cairns and inukshuks, there are many tales of people making an effort to show others a safe path. We also look at the ancient bro code known as Masonic symbols, which manly men have been putting on their erections for generations. And of course we must touch on the world of swinger symbols, where anything from pineapples to a toe ring might be sending signals -- or just giving people a laugh.

In Auszügen aus dem „Edinburgh Journal of Science” beschrieb Grant eine vielfältige Flora und Fauna sowie intelligente Fledermausmenschen auf dem Erdtrabanten. Diese Berichte elektrisierten Lesende weltweit so sehr, dass Missionare sogar darüber nachdachten, wie man den Fledermausmenschen das „Wort Gottes” bringen könne. Doch warum fanden wir 1969 eine kalte, tote Einöde vor? Was ist mit der Flora und Fauna geschehen? Und warum begannen mit diesen Artikeln die Überlegungen in Bezug auf Ethik in Presse und Journalismus? Wir haben uns den Fall genauer angesehen.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Chasing Relics: A Journey of Hope in Ruined Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-08-23-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap alacsony sugarainak árnyai táncoltak a romos Budapest utcáin.En: The shadows of the low rays of the sun danced on the ruined streets of Budapest.Hu: Az egykor pezsgő város most csendes volt, csupán a szél susogása és néhány madár dalolása törte meg a némaságot.En: The once bustling city was now silent, broken only by the whisper of the wind and the songs of a few birds.Hu: Az omladozó épületek és az elvadult növényzet között Ágnes, Bálint és Zoltán haladt előre lassan.En: Among the crumbling buildings and wild vegetation, Ágnes, Bálint, and Zoltán moved forward slowly.Hu: Ágnes szíve hevesen vert, de nem a félelemtől.En: Ágnes's heart was pounding, but not from fear.Hu: A remény tartotta mozgásban.En: Hope kept her moving.Hu: A legenda egy ősi ereklyéről szólt, amely visszahozhatja a reményt, békét és újjáépítheti a közösségüket.En: The legend spoke of an ancient relic that could bring back hope, peace, and rebuild their community.Hu: És ő elhatározta, hogy megtalálja ezt az ereklyét.En: And she was determined to find this relic.Hu: Különösen most, hogy Bálint egyre jobban elmerült a kétségbeesésben.En: Especially now that Bálint was increasingly consumed by despair.Hu: "Biztos vagy benne, hogy Zoltánban megbízhatunk?" Bálint kérdezte halkan, mialatt egy hatalmas omladékon másztak át.En: "Are you sure we can trust Zoltán?" Bálint asked quietly as they climbed over a massive pile of rubble.Hu: "Olyan keveset tudunk róla."En: "We know so little about him."Hu: Ágnes röviden megállt és visszanézett.En: Ágnes paused briefly and looked back.Hu: A szemében csillogott az eltökéltség fénye.En: Determination shone in her eyes.Hu: "Muszáj megbíznunk benne.En: "We have to trust him.Hu: Ő tudja, hol van az ereklye."En: He knows where the relic is."Hu: Zoltán hallgatagon vezette őket.En: Zoltán led them silently.Hu: Sötét köpenyébe burkolózva suttogva mesélt a régi történetekről és legendákról, amelyek csak fokozták Ágnes vágyát.En: Cloaked in a dark cape, he whispered tales of old stories and legends, which only intensified Ágnes's desire.Hu: Ám Bálint sosem hagyta el teljesen éber figyelmét.En: Yet Bálint never let go of his vigilance completely.Hu: Jó oka volt rá.En: He had good reason to.Hu: Ahogy leszállt az est, megpillantották a céljukat: a Gellért-hegyi barlang templomának bejáratát.En: As night fell, they caught sight of their destination: the entrance to the cave church on Gellért Hill.Hu: Zoltán megállt, és titokzatos mosollyal fordult feléjük.En: Zoltán stopped and turned to them with a mysterious smile.Hu: "Itt van az ereklye." mondta, de valami kihívás volt a hangjában.En: "Here is the relic," he said, but there was a challenge in his voice.Hu: Mire Ágnes reagálhatott volna, a templom bejáratából előléptek a túlélők egy csoportja, Zoltán kísérteties nevetése visszhangzott a falakon.En: Before Ágnes could react, a group of survivors emerged from the entrance of the church, Zoltán's eerie laughter echoing off the walls.Hu: Ágnes érezte, hogy Bálint megragadja a kezét.En: Ágnes felt Bálint grab her hand.Hu: Az ellenségük közeledett.En: Their enemies approached.Hu: Ám Ágnes nem hagyta, hogy a pánik úrrá legyen rajta.En: But Ágnes did not let panic overwhelm her.Hu: A gyors eszével hamar átfogta a helyzetet.En: With quick thinking, she quickly grasped the situation.Hu: Eszébe jutott valami, amit Zoltán korábban említett a barlangról.En: She remembered something Zoltán had mentioned earlier about the cave.Hu: Egy régi mesére alapozva elkotyogott valamit, hogy hol lehetne megtalálni egy titkos rejtekhelyet a bejárat mögött.En: Based on an old tale, he had blurted out something about where a secret hideout might be found behind the entrance.Hu: "Meg kell próbálnunk," súgta Bálintnak.En: "We must try," she whispered to Bálint.Hu: Végül bátorságukat összeszedve lopakodtak be az egyik sötét folyosóra.En: Finally, gathering their courage, they sneaked into one of the dark corridors.Hu: A közelgő veszély okozta izgalom közepette végül Ágnes rátalált a sírkő mögötti kis üregre benyúlva megtapintotta az ereklyét.En: Amidst the excitement caused by the impending danger, Ágnes found the small cavity behind the tombstone and felt the relic.Hu: Ekkor Zoltán és emberei hangjára lett figyelmes.En: Then she became aware of the voices of Zoltán and his men.Hu: Azonban a titkos kijáraton menekülve sikerült megszerezniük az ereklyét.En: However, escaping through the secret exit, they managed to seize the relic.Hu: Ahogy elhagyták a barlangot, Zoltán haragja miatt, Ágnes tudta, hogy a sikerük még nem biztos, de a hírből eredő remény hirtelen érezhető volt.En: As they left the cave, despite Zoltán's anger, Ágnes knew that their success was not yet certain, but the hope arising from the tale was suddenly tangible.Hu: Visszatértek a romos városba, immár kezükben az ereklyével, amely misztikus fényt árasztott.En: They returned to the ruined city, now with the relic in hand, which emitted a mystical light.Hu: "Lehet, hogy valóban megvan benne az a hatalom," tűnődött Bálint, arcán először mutatkozott valódi remény.En: "It might really possess that power," Bálint pondered, true hope showing on his face for the first time.Hu: Ágnes szívében a félelem helyét most már a világ változásának lehetősége foglalta el.En: In Ágnes's heart, the possibility of changing the world now replaced fear.Hu: A közösségre való megérkezésük ünnepléssel töltötte meg az arckifejezéseket és a szívveréseket.En: Their arrival back to the community filled faces and heartbeats with celebration.Hu: Az ereklye lassan elkezdett ragyogni, mintha válaszként mindarra az áldozatra és hitre, amit belé helyeztek.En: The relic slowly began to glow, as if in response to all the sacrifice and faith placed in it.Hu: Ez volt a kezdet.En: This was the beginning.Hu: A reményé.En: The beginning of hope.
