The story of the lands between the Forth and Humber from the end of the Roman period to the Viking kingdom of York is one of the most richly fascinating in British history. This the age of Lindisfarne and of Bede; of the dramatic hills, valleys and ancient routeways that link the Irish Sea and the North Sea; of names that resonate even now: Edwin, Oswald, Hild, Cuthbert, Wilfrid; of conquest, conversion and the legacies of intellectual giants. Northumbria AD 367-867: Earth Hall, Ring Gift and Heaven's Field (Birlinn, 2025) by Max Adams and Colm O'Brien is a history of Early Medieval Northumbria that explores themes of landscape, power, creativity and intellect. Fresh archaeological evidence and research in historical geography shed light on the fascinating story of how land was managed, exploited and deployed as an expression of power by both secular and ecclesiastical forces, and aspects such as the role of élite women in shaping politics and religion is given new focus. Dr. Adams and Dr. O' Brien show conclusively how Northumbria's political, cultural and religious elements coalesced to forge a creative powerhouse which shaped the world we have inherited. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

652. Part 1 of Kathleen DuVal's return to the podcast to talk about her book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America. “Pulitzer Prize Winner - National Bestseller - A magisterial overview of a thousand years of Native American history (The New York Review of Books), from the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today. Winner of the Bancroft Prize, the Cundill History Prize, and the Mark Lynton History Prize. Long before the colonization of North America, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world in ways that reverberated globally. And, as award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal vividly recounts, when Europeans did arrive, no civilization came to a halt because of a few wandering explorers, even when the strangers came well armed.” (Publisher's website), Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Chad Adams. How to Walk in the Marsh. I stood behind the center console of my dad's flatboat, tucked closely against him, prouder than any seven-year-old boy could be, riding along while he drove in the darkness of an early cold November morning. We slowly maneuvered through the salty marshes of southern Louisiana in eager pursuit of my very first duck hunt.     As the blistering air seeped through the holes in my oversized camouflaged ski-mask, and the smell of the sputtering motor's exhaust made my nostrils flare, I worked a spotlight at my dad's command. The beam of light shined just over the head of our giddy black Labrador Retriever, past the bow of the boat, and onto the water in front of us. I was outright shivering, but not from the freezing weather. Instead, I was shaking from the icy adrenaline that ran through my veins and throughout all fifty-five pounds of me as I replayed in my head all the stories my dad told me leading up to this moment about the amazing experience of duck hunting.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Exploring Viking Legacies: A Family Adventure in Roskilde Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-11-15-08-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Efteråret havde farvet landskabet omkring Roskilde i gyldne og brune nuancer.En: Autumn had colored the landscape around Roskilde in golden and brown hues.Da: Det var St. Martins Dag, og Freja havde besluttet, at det var den perfekte tid for en familiesammenkomst.En: It was St. Martins Dag, and Freja had decided that it was the perfect time for a family gathering.Da: Roskilde Vikingeskibsmuseum ventede, en skattekiste af fortidens historier.En: The Roskilde Vikingeskibsmuseum awaited, a treasure chest of stories from the past.Da: Ved siden af fjorden, under den klare himmel, belyste de gamle skibes silhuetter den kraftfulde arv fra Vikingetiden.En: Beside the fjord, under the clear sky, the silhouettes of the ancient ships illuminated the powerful legacy of the Viking Age.Da: Freja gik energisk forrest, hendes øjne lyse af forventning.En: Freja walked energetically in front, her eyes bright with anticipation.Da: Hendes søn Soren slæbte bagud, hans opmærksomhed fastlåst på telefonen.En: Her son Soren lagged behind, his attention fixed on his phone.Da: Emil, den yngste, hoppede omkring, ivrig efter at udforske alt på én gang.En: Emil, the youngest, bounced around eagerly, keen to explore everything at once.Da: Familien trådte ind i museets verden, hvor fortidens skibe fortalte historier om eventyr og opdagelser.En: The family stepped into the museum's world, where ships from the past told tales of adventure and discovery.Da: "Se her, drenge," sagde Freja og pegede på det største skib.En: "Look here, boys," said Freja, pointing at the largest ship.Da: "Dette er nok fra det 11. århundrede.En: "This is probably from the 11th century.Da: Forestil jer at sejle på de åbne hav med det."En: Imagine sailing the open seas with it."Da: Emil klappede begejstret.En: Emil clapped excitedly.Da: "Kan jeg lege som kaptajn, mor?"En: "Can I pretend to be the captain, Mom?"Da: Freja grinede og nikkede.En: Freja laughed and nodded.Da: "Selvfølgelig.En: "Of course.Da: Men først en udfordring.En: But first, a challenge.Da: En skattejagt efter Viking-fakta!"En: A treasure hunt for Viking facts!"Da: Soren så skeptisk ud, mens Emil klappede i sine hænder.En: Soren looked skeptical while Emil clapped his hands.Da: "Okay, første spor," fortsatte Freja, "hvad blev skibene brugt til ud over krig?"En: "Okay, first clue," continued Freja, "what were the ships used for, besides war?"Da: Soren trak på skuldrene, mens Emil kiggede rundt for at finde svaret.En: Soren shrugged while Emil looked around to find the answer.Da: Så opdagede de en interaktiv udstilling.En: Then they discovered an interactive exhibition.Da: "Lad os prøve det!"En: "Let's try this!"Da: råbte Emil og tog fat i sin storebrors hånd.En: shouted Emil, grabbing his older brother's hand.Da: Soren sukkede men fulgte med.En: Soren sighed but followed along.Da: De stod foran en skærm, der lyste op.En: They stood in front of a screen that lit up.Da: Det var en virtuel rejse; med et tryk kunne de styre et skib gennem stormfulde vande, træffe strategiske beslutninger som rigtige vikinger.En: It was a virtual journey; with a touch, they could steer a ship through stormy waters, make strategic decisions like real Vikings.Da: Som skærmene viste scener fra slag til handel, ændrede Sorens ansigt sig.En: As the screens displayed scenes from battles to trade, Soren's expression changed.Da: Pelsen fra hans kedede attitude faldt væk.En: The cloak of his bored attitude fell away.Da: Hans øjne blev store, og han blev sugede ind i fortællingerne om mod og smedkunst.En: His eyes widened, and he was drawn into the tales of courage and craftsmanship.Da: "Mor, se mig!En: "Mom, look at me!Da: Jeg kæmper som en ægte viking!"En: I'm fighting like a real Viking!"Da: udbrød Emil, mens han trykkede på knapperne.En: exclaimed Emil, pressing the buttons.Da: Soren, optaget af de virtuelle slag, lod telefonen forsvinde i lommen.En: Soren, engrossed in the virtual battles, let the phone disappear into his pocket.Da: Hans fascination voksede i takt med lerfigurerne og de gamle kort, der guidede skibene på deres tværkulturelle rejser.En: His fascination grew with the clay figures and ancient maps that guided the ships on their cross-cultural journeys.Da: Da dagen nærmede sig sin afslutning, gik de alle gennem museet, fyldt med nyfunden respekt for deres vikingearv.En: As the day drew to a close, they all walked through the museum, filled with newfound respect for their Viking heritage.Da: Solen begyndte langsomt at gå ned, og farverne i himlen matchede de brændte blade omkring dem.En: The sun began to set slowly, and the colors in the sky matched the burnt leaves around them.Da: På vej ud sagde Freja til Soren, "Du nød det jo alligevel?"En: On the way out, Freja said to Soren, "You enjoyed it after all?"Da: Soren smilte skævt.En: Soren smiled wryly.Da: "Det var faktisk ret cool.En: "It was actually pretty cool.Da: Og andre ting kan jo også være spændende, ikke kun spil."En: And other things can be exciting too, not just games."Da: Freja følte en bølge af stolthed.En: Freja felt a wave of pride.Da: Hun havde ikke bare bragt historien til live; hun havde også skabt en stjernestund med sine børn.En: She had not only brought history to life; she had also created a magical moment with her children.Da: I den kølende efterårsbrise, mens de gik udenfor, var båndet mellem dem både stærkere og varmere.En: In the cooling autumn breeze, as they walked outside, the bond between them was both stronger and warmer.Da: Sammen, som en vikingeflok, klarede de dagens eventyr.En: Together, like a Viking clan, they conquered the day's adventure.

In this episode, we explore the comprehensive strategic investments cruise lines are making to dominate global waterways, focusing on simultaneous fleet refinement, massive capacity expansion, and entry into highly competitive markets.We look at how Princess Cruises is maintaining a competitive edge through targeted revitalization, such as the extensive two-week dry dock of the Sapphire Princess. This refit centered on transforming existing spaces into premium dining venues, including the acclaimed Crown Grill Steakhouse and the new Makoto Ocean Edomae-style sushi venue by Chef Makoto Okuwa. Beyond dining upgrades, this strategy supports targeted market expansion, as the Sapphire Princess prepares for diverse itineraries, culminating in Princess Cruises' most expansive Japan season ever in 2027.Next, we dive into the staggering growth of Viking Cruises, which recently expanded its total fleet to 103 vessels with the addition of nine new river ships. This move underscores Viking's ongoing commitment to tailored, region-specific travel experiences. The new ships, including those purpose-built for Egypt's Nile River (Viking Thoth and Viking Amun), solidify Viking's leadership in vessel count and demonstrate remarkable profitability. Viking's committed orderbook anticipates a total fleet of 135 vessels by 2031.Finally, we examine the strategic shift by Trafalgar, a major guided vacation company, as it makes a decisive entry into the river cruising industry. Trafalgar's expansion reflects a move to meet the rising demand for immersive European journeys. The company plans to debut its first-ever river cruise fleet in 2028, leveraging its decades of guided travel expertise to redefine the luxury river cruising standards with innovative vessel designs and curated shore excursions.We discuss how these three diverse strategies—refinement, capacity growth, and new market entry—reflect the industry's renewed confidence and focus on delivering elevated, experience-driven products across river and ocean segments.

In the first hour of the show, Laurence Holmes & Matt Spiegel discuss Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson getting his first revenge game this weekend against Minnesota after losing to the Viking week 1.

Former Vikings player and current radio announcer Pete Bercich joined the show to preview Sunday's game from a Viking stand-point.

Loot: to plunder or steal—an English word itself looted from the Hindi word lūṭ. To celebrate the launch of season 7, the inimitable Scottish-born historian William Dalrymple spills on the beans on the colonial loot that made modern Britain—and which today forms an archive of violence and extraction. Never one to shy away from the underside of history, William takes us into murky terrain: from the dust and sweat of archaeological digs, to his own family's imperial villainy, to the deep antiquity and current genocide of the Palestinian people. Why did an underground tunnel turn teenage William into an archive addict? How did a tiny jade bead from India end up in a Viking charnel house in Scotland—and what does that tell us about histories of trade and colonisation? And why have we forgotten that ancient Gaza was once famous for sweet wine and erotic poetry?

La figure controversée de l'un de ses investisseurs, le milliardaire conservateur, Pierre-Édouard Stérin a fait planer une ombre sur le projet, mais fort de son succès à Rouen avec Viking, la société « Cités Immersives », opérateur culturel privé, mise sur ce nouveau concept d'attraction culturelle en ciblant un public éloigné des musées traditionnels.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Imaginez : vous êtes au large des côtes nordiques à bord de votre navire viking, aux côtés de vos camarades. La mer s'étend à perte de vue, sa surface bleue profonde vous appelle à avancer. Et pourtant, aucun compas, aucune carte moderne pour vous guider. Seulement la mémoire des marins et la lecture des courants, du soleil, des étoiles, le bruit des oiseaux. Comment les vikings naviguaient-ils réellement à cette époque sans instrument moderne ? Les sagas nordiques et chroniques anciennes regorgent de descriptions fascinantes et les découvertes archéologiques complètent ces récits. Mais seulement en partie. En mai 2025, une étude publiée dans “Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory” propose de combiner archéologie expérimentale et modélisations numériques pour compléter les sources écrites et archéologiques. Après tout, c'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron. Alors peut-être que c'est en naviguant qu'on devient navigateur ?Bonne écoute !➤ Un grand merci à Lucie Malbos pour avoir répondu à mes questions !

You know how Vikings are often associated with Scandinavia and their epic journeys across the seas? Well, turns out, there's a lesser-known Viking connection right in New York City! Back in the 9th century, Norse explorers are believed to have landed in the area we now call New York, long before Columbus or any other Europeans. Archaeological finds like a Norse coin and a runic stone in the Hudson Valley provide tantalizing clues. So, while we typically think of skyscrapers and subways when we think of New York, it's pretty cool to imagine Vikings roaming those same streets over a thousand years ago!

US-EU Space Regulatory Clash: The United States has formally opposed the European Union's proposed EU Space Act, arguing that its regulations could impose unfair burdens on American space companies. The act aims to establish a unified regulatory framework for Europe's space industry, focusing on safety, resilience, and sustainability. The US claims that certain provisions unfairly target large telecommunications satellite constellations, particularly SpaceX's Starlink, and calls for recognition of its existing licensing framework to avoid duplication.Revisiting a Mars Mistake: A significant scientific error from the 1970s is being re-evaluated as new findings reveal that NASA's Viking Lander mission mistakenly concluded Mars was lifeless. Originally, the absence of detected organic compounds led to this verdict, but it has now been established that organic compounds were indeed present. This has sparked calls for a new mission dedicated to the search for life on Mars, correcting decades of misconceptions.Launch Schedule Update: This week's launch schedule includes high-profile missions such as Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket, which is set to launch the Mars-bound Escapade payload on November 12. However, an ongoing US government shutdown has led to an emergency launch ban during peak hours, affecting several missions and pushing some to later dates.Tiangong Space Station's Dual Crew: China's Tiangong Space Station is currently hosting an unprecedented dual crew operation after the return of the Shenzhou 20 astronauts was delayed due to a suspected space debris impact. The Shenzhou 20 crew has been joined by the new Shenzhou 21 crew, creating a temporary six-member occupancy onboard as both crews conduct joint scientific experiments.New Insights into the Big Bang: A recent study suggests that the universe's earliest moments were more dynamic than previously understood. Researchers propose that during a brief period, dense clouds of particles dominated over radiation, leading to the formation of primordial black holes. This discovery may provide new insights into the dark history of the universe and its structure.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Welcome back to The Literary Life podcast and our series on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Ella Hornstra open the conversation by sharing their commonplace quotes, then jump into the book discussion with some connections between Huxley and Lewis Carroll and how Brave New World is like Alice in Wonderland. Angelina also teaches about the medieval conception of the tripartite soul and how it relates to this story, as well as making some distinctions between literary satire and parody. They talk about more of the pictures of Freudian principles as illustrated in this society, as well as the way in which the characters live like machines. Ella goes into a little introductory information on Shakespeare's The Tempest and its connections to Brave New World to keep in mind as we continue reading. Don't forget to check out this coming year's annual Literary Life Online Conference, happening January 23-30, 2026, "The Letter Killeth, but the Spirit Quickeneth: Reading Like a Human". Our speakers will be Dr. Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, Dr. Anne Phillips, and, of course, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks. Also, we are excited to announce the upcoming spring course with Dr. Michael Drout, Viking and Old Norse Culture. Learn more and register at HouseofHumaneLetters.com.

In this lively episode of The Buffalo Brews Podcast, Jason and Bri kick things off with a little technical drama as their trusty Old Reliable Zoom PodTrak P4 fills in for the temperamental P8. From there, the duo dives into a cozy, conversational recap of their autumn adventures — blending humor, storytelling, and that unmistakable Buffalo energy.They chat about Halloween and daylight savings woes, swapping stories about mornings and early sunsets. Then it's on to October camping tales, where the weather at Allegheny State Park refused to cooperate — rain, rain, and more rain — but the fun still flowed with Viking costumes, turkey legs, homemade mead, and even a first attempt at Viking bread.The journey continues through Hikemania 2, exploring Genesee County Park's haunted history, hidden graves, and birdwatching with the Merlin app, before heading to Letchworth State Park — the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Between cider donuts, Porsche sightings, and fall foliage, Jason and Bri find beauty (and beer) in every detour.Their road trip wraps up in Rochester with an impromptu craft beer crawl — cider donut sours at K2 Brewing, autumn sunshine in Fairport, and hearty German fare at Faircraft Brauhaus (including a legendary German garbage plate).Full of laughter, local flavor, and a few soggy hiking boots, this episode perfectly captures the Buffalo Brews spirit: great company, great beer, and great stories — rain or shine.Visit our website at BuffaloBrewsPodcast.comEmail: buffalobrewsPR@gmail.comFollow us on social media.Instagram: @BuffaloBrewsPodcast Facebook: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastTikTok: @BuffaloBrewsYouTube: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastX/Twitter: @BuffaloBrewsPod

4. Post-Apollo Budget Cuts and the Rise of Robotic Mars Exploration. Matthew Shindell discusses how following the success of Apollo, NASA proposed extending the human space program to Mars. However, President Nixon, recognizing shifting political priorities, chose to divert funding toward domestic issues like civil rights and poverty. As a result, NASA's post-Apollo budget levels dropped significantly, forcing space exploration to compete with other national needs. This led to the expansion of highly successful robotic exploration programs. Mariner 4 and 9 provided increasingly detailed images, and the Viking landers in the mid-1970s allowed scientific operations directly on the Martian surface. After a two-decade pause, exploration returned with greater vengeance via rovers like Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and the recent Perseverance and Ingenuity helicopter. While technological capabilities have grown, a human mission to Mars remains incredibly ambitious due to the persistent challenges of ensuring human safety, providing shelter from radiation, and managing life support for the long duration of the trip. 1956 Retry

Who were the Vikings' ancient ancestors? In this episode Tristan Hughes explores the fascinating maritime culture, sophisticated trade networks and social hierarchies of the Nordic Bronze Age c. 1800–700 BC. Joined by Professor Johan Ling, they shed light on how proto-Viking societies of ancient Scandinavia imported essential metals, crafted stunning rock art using bronze tools and operated complex trade routes extending to Britain, Iberia and beyond. Enigmatic religious practices and the pivotal role played by elite kinship networks are brought to life through remarkable archaeological finds such as horned helmets and a golden sun chariot to reveal the remarkable complex societies that preceded the Viking Age.MOREThe Bronze Age CollapseMycenae: Cradle of Bronze Age GreecePresented by Tristan Hughes.

Rob Warner is back on The Ride Companion! In this episode, Rob joins Olly and Davi to talk about his first ever trip to Red Bull Rampage, what it was like to finally see the venue in person, the true scale you can't capture on TV and what it feels like watching riders hit massive freeride lines for the very first time. The lads also dig into the harsh realities of athletes pushing big-mountain freeride and action sports to the absolute limit. Rob opens up about living with ADHD and autism, how it feels being so publicly outspoken about it, and how commentary helps him find flow state. He also reflects on his recent ADHD diagnosis film series, shares details about his new projects, a Viking death-road film in the Scottish Highlands, a rap collab in New York, and the long-awaited return of the Egg Cult with The Whole Egg-chilada.

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Motherf*ckers Before the Predator conducts his 2025 theatrical hunt in the Badlands, his animated counterparts are hosting a contest on Hulu where the winner is proclaimed Killer of Killers. How much competition will a Viking mother, an exiled Japanese brother, and an aspiring WWII pilot be for the homicidal aliens once they're ripped away from historical battles and transported to a space arena?  And can the trio overcome their thirst for vengeance and find a way to get back to Earth collaboratively?  If it streams, we can kill it in a podcast review available now!

Joe Sudbay guests hosts while John is on his California cruise trip. Joe discusses Trump's Halloween glitzy Great Gatsby party - flouting lavishness while millions panic over SNAP benefits being constrained. He also talks about the major elections happening in New Jersey, Virginia, California, and New York. Then, he speaks with Jessica Mackler who is the president of EMILYs list. EMILYs List is backing both Democratic governor candidates (Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia), as well as women candidates in every top red-to-blue flip opportunity in Virginia's House of Delegates races. In the last Southern state without an abortion ban, this year, Virginia's House will determine if voters can protect reproductive freedom through a constitutional amendment. And then finally, Joe interviews Alejandro Varela. His debut novel, The Town of Babylon was a finalist for the National Book Award. His latest novel, Middle Spoon, was published by Viking on September 9, 2025. His novels and stories take public health topics — from systemic racism to gentrification to sexuality — and make them accessible and memorable. Varela is an editor-at-large of Apogee Journal, and holds a masters degree in public health from the University of Washington.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kabir is the most alive of all dead poets. He is a fabric without stitches. No centres, no edges. Anand threads his way in. Over the years, as a publisher and editor, Anand immerses himself in the works of Babasaheb Ambedkar and other anticaste thinkers. He gives up his practice of music and poetry, blaming his disenchantment on caste. One day in Delhi, Anand starts looking for Kabir. He finds him here, there, everywhere. He begins to pay attention to the many ways in which Kabir's words are sung, and translates them. Soon, Kabir starts looking out for Anand. The songs of Kabir sung by a range of singers—Prahlad Tipaniya, Fariduddin Ayaz, Mukhtiyar Ali, Kumar Gandharva, Kaluram Bamaniya, Mahesha Ram and other wayfarers—make Anand return to music and poetry. Anand translates songs seldom found in books. Along the way, he witnesses Kabir drawing on the Buddha, often restating ancient suttas in joyous ways. The Notbook of Kabir is the result of this pursuit with no end in sight. This is the story of how Anand loses himself trying to find Kabir. You can check out the YouTube list of relevant Kabir's songs curated by S. Anand here. For readers interested in the paradoxical, downside-up language in Kabiri and its resonances with Daoist language (e.g. this translation of Daodejing), especially the mysthical atheist aspects, check out appendix B to this book by Brook Ziporyn.

This week, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella joined John for a spooky-season conversation that blended truth, history, and humor. They talked about Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and how Indigenous traditions honor those who came before us.They also tackled headlines that can't be ignored:Vice President J.D. Vance's harmful claim that Indigenous peoples practiced “widespread child sacrifice”, and why that myth has deep colonial roots.The Blackfeet Nation's buffalo and elk harvests to feed families during the government shutdown: a powerful act of food sovereignty and self-reliance.And the real “scary story” is how rhetoric from leaders continues to erase Indigenous truths while tribal nations keep showing what leadership looks like.Listeners called in with great questions, including Kendall, who got into a heated debate about mascots! Spoiler alert: Viking mascots were mentioned and Simon dropped a few "cabron" and "pendejo" bombs! It was an episode about myth-busting, survival, and remembering that even in spooky season, truth has power.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1656, Croatian stonemason Jure Grando was buried alive after defying powerful monks, only to rise from his grave and terrorize his village for sixteen years—knocking on doors that meant death would soon follow, violating his widow night after night, and when villagers finally opened his coffin in 1672, they found him grinning with tears streaming down his face, immune to wooden stakes, screaming as they sawed through his neck in what became Europe's first documented case of vampirism.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: Before Dracula ever set foot in Transylvania, the village of Kringa, Croatia, was haunted by Jure Grando—the first recorded vampire in European history. For sixteen years, his undead reign brought terror to the living and torment to his widow. But when the villagers finally rose against him, they unearthed a horror beyond imagination. (Jure Grando: The First Vampire) *** For nearly a millennium, a monstrous black dog with eyes like burning coals has stalked the foggy coastlines and ancient churches of East Anglia, leaving death and terror in its silent wake. From its first recorded appearance in 1127 where it led a spectral hunting party through Peterborough, to its most infamous attack in 1577 when it allegedly killed four churchgoers, the creature known as Black Shuck has become far more than just another ghost story. Through centuries of sightings and evolving folklore, this massive demon hound has transformed from a Viking guardian spirit into one of Britain's most enduring legends - one that some locals insist still prowls the shadows of Norfolk and Suffolk to this day. (Black Shuck: East Anglia's Demon Hound) *** In 1857 London, the Bacon family's home became the center of supernatural chaos when mysterious sounds and flying objects drew crowds of over a thousand spectators to their modest Bermondsey residence. But when thirteen-year-old Caroline confessed to creating the ghostly disturbances using strands of hair to topple objects, her deception was revealed as an act of rebellion against her father and new stepmother. This tale of a fake haunting offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian family dynamics and the desperate measures one girl took to assert her independence. (The Bermondsey Poltergeist) *** In October 1975, what began as a late-night drive for two young men in rural Maine turned into an encounter that would haunt them forever. David Stephens had no memory of being taken aboard a massive UFO by mushroom-headed beings until months later, when hypnosis sessions revealed the terrifying truth about the hours he lost that night – an experience so profound that it would drive his friend Glen to flee the state and change both their lives forever. (Night of the Mushroom Men) *** Could the Moon's perfect positioning—exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and precisely placed for total eclipses—be more than cosmic coincidence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler propose a mind-bending theory: that future humans (or their advanced robots) traveled back in time 4.6 billion years to construct the Moon, creating the exact conditions needed for life on Earth to emerge. Their provocative hypothesis suggests we might be caught in an infinite loop, with humanity traveling to the past to ensure its own creation, much like the ancient symbol of Ouroboros—a snake eternally consuming its own tail.
