This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOTucked away in Northeast Tennessee, Historic Rugby Village was founded in 1880 as a bold experiment in ideal living. Created by author Thomas Hughes, the village was meant to be a utopia—orderly, enlightened, and harmonious. The dream didn't last.Disease, hardship, and disappointment took hold, with typhoid fever claiming many of Rugby's earliest residents. Though the village survived, something of its original hope seemed to fracture—and never fully leave.Today, Rugby remains remarkably preserved, its Victorian buildings standing quietly among the hills. With a population of just 75, some say the town is far more crowded than it appears. Visitors and investigators report activity in nearly every structure, from footsteps and voices to the unmistakable feeling of being watched.We explore the lingering spirits and unfinished stories of Rugby with Miranda Young, uncovering why this tiny town may be one of the most haunted places in America. For more information on Rugby, visit their website at historyhighwayshaunts.com or find them on Facebook at Historic Rugby After Dark.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Once a modest 1840s homestead, the May-Stringer House has evolved into one of Florida's most paranormally active locations. Over generations, tragedy left its mark—untimely deaths, whispered stories of unmarked graves, and a growing collection of historical artifacts that may be more than silent witnesses to the past.Today, the house stands as both a museum and a hotspot of unexplained activity. Visitors and investigators alike report disembodied voices, shadow figures, physical sensations, and an overwhelming sense that something within the house is still aware of those who enter.Christian Paul shares his firsthand experiences inside the May-Stringer House. From encounters that defy explanation to unsettling questions about whether spirits can attach themselves to objects, this conversation explores what happens when history refuses to stay buried.#TheGraveTalks #MayStringerHouse #HauntedFlorida #ParanormalPodcast #RealGhostStories #HistoricHauntings #HauntedMuseums #SpiritsAmongUs #HauntedHouse #HistoryandHauntingsLove real ghost stories?

Some childhood memories feel ordinary—until time reveals they were anything but.As a very young child, the writer of this story remembers regular visits from an elderly woman who appeared in her bedroom. The woman felt calm, familiar, and kind, spending time with her in a way that felt natural rather than frightening. There were no warnings, no fear, and nothing about the experience that felt unusual at the time.It wasn't until years later that those memories resurfaced in a way that couldn't be dismissed.While sorting through old family photographs as an adult, she came across an image that stopped her cold—a face that matched the visitor from her childhood with unsettling precision. A woman she had never met… yet somehow remembered.Was it imagination shaped by youth? A coincidence shaped by memory? Or something far more personal—an encounter that crossed generations quietly, without drama or explanation?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalPodcast #ChildhoodEncounters #FamilySecrets #GhostStories #UnexplainedMemories #TrueParanormal #SpiritVisitation #HauntingStories #BeyondExplanation Love real ghost stories?

In the early 1900s in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, many residents saw a creature they couldn't explain. It had giant wings, a beak, and a light on its head that not only mystified locals but also sometimes erased their memories, too. Legend has it the creature comes from the mines of the town, but to this day, no one is certain what the Van Meter visitor really is—or if it's still out there.For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/legend-the-van-meter-visitorSo Supernatural is an Audiochuck and Crime House production.

Dan shares tales of two islands this week. We'll head to the remote Pacific Samoan island of Ofu, where there's a stretch of beach so feared that many locals refuse to walk it after dark. A place believed to be a gathering ground for spirits who've never crossed over. A place where ghosts can do more than just scare you. Next, we'll head to the other side of the world to the Azores.  High above a volcanic crater on São Miguel, an abandoned luxury hotel looms out of the fog  - a five-star dream that collapsed almost as soon as it opened. Visitors today report footsteps in empty hallways, voices in stairwells, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched by something that never left. A little less exotic but equally as creepy, Lynze brings us a tale from Spokane. The story of an entity that has attached itself to a someone and still lingers close today. To wrap up, we go to a midwest county fair where two young friends get more than they bargained for at the fun house. Bad Magic Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the HALO Dental Network.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Sondra Shannon, CEO of Gatemaster Tech. Sondra and I discuss the art and importance of creating exceptional visitor experiences and how technology can help attractions remove friction for guests, increase revenue, and stand out in a competitive landscape. She also shares why keeping guests informed leads to happier experiences and how, just by walking around their attraction, leaders can turn firsthand insights into an improved guest experience. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why removing friction from the guest journey is essential for happier visitors, bigger revenue, and more memorable family moments at attractions Strategies Sondra and her team use to identify and solve friction points at attractions How operational leaders and frontline staff benefit from "management by walking around" and being directly involved in the guest experience Why consistent and early training is critical for attraction teams, and how lack of confidence and poor communication can impact employee retention What creative value adds can set attractions apart and drive guest loyalty How digital transformation and going cashless are shaping visitor expectations An Invisible Engine Powering Seamless Experiences Technology is a part of the experience, and it shouldn't be a friction point. When technology is thoughtfully integrated, it dissolves many of the small frustrations that can sour a family's day at a theme park or museum. From ticket-purchasing workflows that set clear expectations to mobile ordering that eliminates long food lines, the right tech doesn't just improve operational efficiency, it actively enhances the experience. Surveys consistently show that informed guests are happier guests. Providing clear, early information about all options (from all-inclusive passes to extra add-ons) allows families to prepare and enjoy every moment together. Value-Adds That Show You Care Some of the most memorable attractions go the extra mile, sometimes in unexpected ways. Sondra highlights parks like Holiday World and Dollywood, where providing free drinks and sunscreen isn't just a marketing gimmick—it's a proactive way to care for guests' comfort and health. People once thought these "extras" were crazy, but these amenities have built tremendous goodwill and loyalty while distinguishing the park from competitors. Social media culture and shifting guest expectations have raised the bar even higher. Today, digital ticketing, contactless payments, and mobile access aren't just perks, they're de facto standards. Empowering Teams and Elevating Operations Guest satisfaction isn't just about what happens at the turnstile, it's deeply connected to operational excellence behind the scenes. One key theme that emerged from Sondra's experience, well-trained teams are more confident, more helpful, and much less likely to quit. Rapid, seasonal hiring makes this challenging, but ongoing education, especially incorporating communication and even sales training, equips staff to handle guest needs with confidence and empathy. Parks with strong training programs set a standard of excellence that's felt at every touchpoint. Giving staff practical communication tools is really vital, because your frontline people have tremendous insight into what guests really need.

In this gripping episode, we welcome Michele Marie Liddle—accomplished paranormal investigator, gifted medium, author, owner of the Northumberland Haunted Museum and host of the acclaimed Shell's Spooky Stories podcast—for an unforgettable deep dive into the supernatural.Michele takes us inside one of the UK's most legendary and terrifying haunted sites: 30 East Drive, the unassuming 1950s semi-detached council house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, often hailed as Britain's most haunted house and home to one of the world's most violent poltergeists.Joining forces with the team from New Dawn Paranormal, Michele shares exclusive details from her recent investigation at this infamous location. We explore the harrowing history that began in August 1966 when the Pritchard family moved in and endured relentless poltergeist activity—objects hurled across rooms, physical assaults, and sightings of a menacing hooded figure. The entity, nicknamed "Fred" by the family and known as the Black Monk of Pontefract, is widely regarded as one of the most aggressive and enduring poltergeists ever documented, with disturbances spanning decades and still reported today.But the chills don't stop there. Michele reveals a fascinating and otherworldly connection with Andy Booth, host of the popular Alien8UK YouTube channel. Could their bond transcend this reality—perhaps rooted in the astral plane? We delve into the possibility of Michele's unexplained links to extraterrestrial or interdimensional phenomena, including potential implants and other bizarre occurrences that defy conventional explanation.Adding yet another layer of intrigue, Michele recounts a deeply unsettling night from her time living in army accommodation, when an unknown presence visited her garden.

In this episode of the Ash Said It Show, we go behind the scenes with Mike McDonald, the mastermind behind the cocktail program and flavor innovation at Madison's award-winning State Line Distillery. From the "DNA" of Wisconsin soil to the hidden flaws that only a pro can taste, Mike spills the secrets of craft distilling in 2026. State Line Distillery is a premier craft distillery dedicated to the meticulous art of the grain-to-glass process. Located in the heart of the Midwest, the distillery specializes in producing small-batch, bold spirits that honor regional heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern distillation. Whether enthusiasts are searching for the best local gin, smooth small-batch vodka, or complex American whiskey, State Line serves as the ultimate destination for those who value quality, transparency, and local ingredients. The distillery and cocktail lounge offers a unique experience for anyone searching for the "best cocktails near me" or a refined tasting room atmosphere. Every bottle produced is a reflection of their commitment to their farmers and their craft, utilizing locally sourced grains to ensure a flavor profile as authentic as the land from which it originates. ✨ Why State Line Spirits Stand Out: * Authentic Grain-to-Glass: They manage every step of production, from the local harvest to the final pour. * Award-Winning Craft Gin & Vodka: Expertly crafted spirits that are perfect for classic cocktails or sipping neat. * Local Tasting Room Experience: A community hub where guests enjoy seasonal cocktails and behind-the-scenes distillery tours. * Sustainable Sourcing: State Line partners with regional growers to support the local economy and ensure peak freshness in every batch. Visitors are invited to explore the cocktail bar and distillery to taste the difference that precision and passion make, experiencing firsthand why State Line Distillery is a leader in the American craft spirits movement.

Photo: A crowd congregates in Mesa, Ariz. where a roadside memorial remembering slain San Carlos Apache teen Emily Pike was taken down nearly a year after she disappeared. (Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ) It was one year ago, on January 27, 2025, that San Carlos Apache teenager Emily Pike went missing from a Mesa, Ariz. group home. Her dismembered remains were discovered a month later in garbage bags more than 100 miles away. No arrests have been made, nor suspects named. Earlier this month, a memorial in Mesa marking where Emily was last seen alive got taken down. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, it's the latest rallying cry for justice in the 14-year-old girl's unsolved murder. “Who are we here for?” “Emily Pike.” “Then say her name.” “Emily Pike.” At the corner of Mesa Drive and McKellips Road, dozens of demonstrators met on a recent Saturday as cars drove by honking their horns. “Justice for who?” “Emily Pike.” “Justice for who?” “Emily Pike.” “Who do we love?” “Emily Pike.” “Who do we love?” “Emily Pike.” This is where Emily was last seen alive. Since her disappearance, a chain-link fence hugging the edge of a 28,000-square-foot vacant lot has become home to a roadside memorial for the slain Apache teen. And it just kept on growing as more shared her story. Visitors from near and far have flocked to this bustling intersection, adorned with flowers, stuffed animals, a banner of Emily's face, and lots of red ribbons – each markers of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) movement. That was, until someone suddenly took everything down earlier this month. No matter who did it, Jolene Shorty is still upset. “Look what you guys did. You took down her stuff. There is a respectful way. There is a traditional way to let things go. This is not the way.” For Shorty, she says this is the second tragedy to happen there. “But what I see here my people, what I see here my tribal nations, I see a clean slate, a clean slate to start over. … In a way, they almost helped us. We're going to come back and put up more stuff. We're going to honor them the way we're supposed to.” Delvina Charley (Diné) thinks taking down those mementos adds insult to injury. “This is the respect that we got … we're pushed to the side that our voices meant nothing, that she meant nothing. If this was a different privileged girl, it would have been handled differently.” Since the items were taken down, Emily's family has been in talks with the city of Mesa on planting a tree and placing a bench at Fitch Park – just a few blocks from her last known location. They're also in discussions with the Arizona Department of Transportation about putting up a highway sign honoring Emily at milepost 277 along US 60 near Globe – where her remains were found in the Tonto National Forest. “This girl lost her life thinking nobody cared.” Jared Marquez is San Carlos Apache and treasurer of the Turtle Island Women Warriors. “I've been there, being a 13-year-old kid, never talking to my parents, running around on the reservation, you know, nobody ever truly caring. And it's hard to think what this girl went through – a lot of us could have been through.” As for the investigation into Emily's murder, KJZZ asked the FBI, the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Missing and Murdered Unit, and the lead agency, Gila County Sheriff's Office, for the status but did not receive any updates. The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) are hosting a webinar titled “Know Your Rights,” followed by a Q&A on Wednesday. NARF will provide practical guidance for Tribal citizens on interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The organizations say it is in response to growing concerns from across Indian Country. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

A groundbreaking Australian play has come to New York for a few weeks. It's called "The Visitors," and it tells an important piece of Australian history from an Aboriginal perspective. A council of tribal leaders is called in when a fleet of ships appears in what is now Sydney Harbor in 1788. “The Visitors” is written by an Aboriginal playwright, and the cast and crew are also Aboriginal.

Then, without explanation, the activity stopped—as if whatever caused it was waiting.That part of the house stayed colder than the rest. Darker. Visitors refused to sleep there. One woman insisted something watched her at night and begged for help that never came.Years later, someone finally moved into that room. What followed wasn't a noise or a shadow meant to scare. It was a moment of weightlessness. A sudden rush toward the ceiling. And then something moving fast—too fast—from the dark.The next morning, there was pain where there shouldn't have been any. And a mark that didn't belong to a dream.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ShadowPerson #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #EntityEncounter #OutOfBodyExperience #UnexplainedInjury #DemonicAttachment #UnseenPresenceLove real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!The Gill House stands as a striking example of Victorian architecture and a reminder of Galion's prosperous past. Built by Bloomer Gill as a grand family residence, the home quickly became a social centerpiece—hosting lavish gatherings and welcoming notable visitors, including Andrew Firestone, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford.Today, the distinguished guests are gone—but many believe something else has taken their place. Visitors and investigators report hearing children's laughter drifting from the attic and seeing shadowy figures moving through the halls. The most unsettling activity is said to occur in the basement, where disembodied voices, screams, and encounters with a ghostly figure known as “Johnny Cake” have been reported. After the home passed to the Talbott family, some believe Old Mrs. Talbott never truly left, making her presence known through tapping sounds and swirling mists.

Clad in armour and guided by a strict code of honour, Japan's samurai were more than elite warriors; they were the architects of a society shaped by loyalty, discipline and power. For centuries, these sword-bearing nobles dominated Japan's battlefields and politics, leaving a legacy that still influences the nation's culture, values and global image today. The history and culture of Japan's Samurai warriors are being celebrated in a new museum in Tokyo. Visitors can try on armour, hold swords and even have a go at throwing special weapons.

About half a million Syrians living in Turkey have returned to Syria — just one in five. Although aid groups estimate many more will follow, it's a difficult decision, and many are wary of Syria's new leader and struggling economy. Also, a stretched polar vortex is bringing severe winter storm conditions to half the continental US, and is causing temperatures to plummet across even more of the northern hemisphere. And, Guinea-Bissau's minister of health announced Thursday that the country was halting a controversial Danish-led, US-funded trial of a hepatitis B vaccine. Plus, a groundbreaking Australian play has come to New York for a few weeks. It's called "The Visitors," and it tells an important piece of Australian history from an Aboriginal perspective.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this episode of VISITORS, Sam delves into conversation with Captain Robert Salas, who recounts his extraordinary experience as a missile commander at Malmstrom Air Force Base in the 1960s (in our lovely state of Montana). During a night shift, Salas and his crew encountered a mysterious glowing object that disabled all ten of their nuclear missiles. This incident, which occurred amidst the Cold War tensions, raises questions about the relationship between UFOs and nuclear weapons. Salas shares his insights on the implications of such encounters and the ongoing secrecy surrounding military experiences with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). We also touch on the broader context of nuclear deterrence and the potential for extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs. Fun stuff!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOTucked into the quiet hills of Northeast Tennessee, Rugby is often whispered about as one of the most haunted towns in America. Founded in 1880 by renowned author Thomas Hughes, Rugby was envisioned as a utopian village—a place of equality, culture, and harmonious living far from the industrial chaos of England.But the dream didn't last.Disease, hardship, and tragedy soon followed. A devastating typhoid outbreak claimed the lives of many early residents, and the once-hopeful experiment slowly unraveled. Today, Rugby feels suspended in time. Its Victorian-era buildings remain remarkably preserved, its population hovering around just 75—depending, some say, on who you count.Visitors and locals alike report unexplained activity throughout the village: footsteps in empty rooms, voices carried on the wind, and shadowy figures glimpsed where no one should be. Nearly every building has its own ghost story, adding to the sense that the past never truly left.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the lingering spirits of Historic Rugby Village with Miranda Young, uncovering why this quiet town may still be home to those who never moved on.For more information on Rugby, visit their website at historyhighwayshaunts.com or find them on Facebook at Historic Rugby After Dark.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Greenland, Colombia and Greece.President Trump has said the US needs to 'own' Greenland, to prevent Russia and China from taking it. Katya Adler has been in the capital Nuuk, speaks to Inuit women about the island's painful history of colonisation - and its now uncertain future.Colombia has also been attracting attention from Mr Trump, following the recent US operation in Venezuela. This schism is out of step with decades of US foreign policy, but an on-going war of words between Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro, and the US President on issues from migration to US strikes on fishing boats in the Caribbean, has put a strain on the relationship. Ione Wells report from Bogota.A hot-button issue for Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is the problem of over-tourism. Visitor numbers have rocketed in recent years, leading to a rise in the tourist tax. But it's not a problem being felt everywhere in the country. James Innes-Smith travelled to one prefecture where efforts to bring tourists back have fallen flat.And finally, a landmark court case came to a close in Greece this week, in which a group of aid workers were put on trial after rescuing migrants from the Mediterranean. The 24 former volunteers have faced a range of charges, including human trafficking, money laundering, and facilitating the illegal entry of foreigners into Greece. Tim Whewell travelled to Lesbos, where he discovered how the migrant crisis that began in 2015 has shaped an entire community.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Katie Morrison and Jack Young Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

I have been selling direct to the consumer in the wine trade for over 35 years. The industry certainly is not what it was; in some ways, better, in other ways,  not so much. I've seen it all...well, at least most of it.  The month and year I started with the Original Wine of the Month Club, my father was featuring a Romanian wine; mind you, Romania was still under Soviet rule. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Marinella Ardelean, expert on Romanian wine. I have to tell you, having Marinella Ardelian on the show took me back, and not just because she reminded me that the first Romanian wine I ever sold—way back in 1989—was a $2.50 Sauvignon Blanc from a winery called Premiat. There's something poetic about opening an episode by unearthing an old newsletter my late father wrote about that wine, especially since it was the same month I joined the family business. Wine really does have a way of sharpening your memory. The nose, the flavor, even the price tag—they stick with you. The conversation started with that kind of serendipity, but Marinella Ardelian quickly brought us to the present. She's based in Venice, waves the flag for Romanian wine, and has this bright, unfussy way of making big topics feel accessible. I love guests like that—insightful without being pedantic, and uncannily good at weaving personal experience into global perspectives. Right off the bat, she fine-tuned the narrative: Romanian wine doesn't need to come "back" to the world stage, it needs to stand in the spotlight it deserves, shoulder to shoulder with France and Italy. I'll admit, I never would've guessed Romania is now in the top six worldwide for vineyard acreage—and domestically, folks there are still drinking 30 liters a year! Sure, the numbers dance around a bit, but the underlying story is about a country with real wine culture. We spent a little time reminiscing about the communist days, when the government controlled everything and Vinexport was king. But the part that struck me most was her clear-eyed take on why Romanian wine isn't chasing the bottom shelf in America. "Romanian wines are not cheap," Marinella Ardelian declared, and she meant it. With high domestic demand and only a sliver of production exported, those who do ship overseas bring quality, not just volume. She's keen on stories and education—Romanian wine, she said, needs context, not just curiosity. This segued beautifully into the broader question of how a wine region markets itself. Marinella Ardelian made a compelling case: you can't just sell the wine, you have to sell the country. Romanian wine, for her, is inseparable from Transylvanian castles, farm-to-table food, and the dramatic scenery. I found that refreshing. Too often, we get obsessed with varietals and forget there's a living culture behind every label. She also explained that since the fall of communism in 1989, a whole generation of winemakers has embraced indigenous grapes like Fetească Neagră—known as the "Black Maiden"—with all the finesse of Pinot Noir and the spice of Syrah. That's the kind of local color I live for. And with the second generation now taking the reins and forming actual cooperatives (something even Armenia, my ancestral homeland, struggles with), you can sense something big is building. Wine tourism, she told me, is finally taking off in Romania. Visitors can ride horses, hunt mushrooms, and sip estate wines in places that wouldn't be out of place in Bordeaux or Barolo. That's the future—experience, narrative, and authenticity. If there's a takeaway, it's that Romanian wine is at a crossroads, one foot in ancient soil, the other in the modern world. Marinella Ardelian has a vision for both—and I left our conversation convinced it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on. I can't wait to revisit this story in a few years and see how far it's come.   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wine-in-romania-meet-the-expert-and-wine/id1462215436?i=1000647229708 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2kiWrgS5fH8p85I6iS6Gnp?si=McZCVWPEQ6W9T-3jfGGMCQ Wine Talks: https://www.winetalkspodcast.com/wine-in-romania-meet-the-expert-and-wine-comtessse-marinela-ardelean/

The MIB. They appear without warning, dressed in black, knowing things about you they shouldn't possibly know — and they always deliver the same chilling message: stop asking questions, forget what you saw, or else.IN THIS EPISODE: The mysterious Men in Black… are they government agents? Time travelers? One man who experienced them first-hand has a different theory. And we'll look over a few separate incidents of people experiencing the Men in Black. (The MIB: I Knew They Were Evil) *** In spring of 2015, the Great Barrington Historical Society & Museum formally inducted the infamous Reed case of alien encounters. But is the Reed family alien abduction a valid historical fact - or UFO fan fiction? (Reed Family Alien Abduction) *** Weeping statues are nothing new, and believers claim they are miracles without much investigation. However, the Vatican proves them to be hoaxes almost 100% of the time. The latest is the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe in New Mexico. Will this be the one that finally convinces the Vatican of a true miracle? (Weeping Statue) *** Had Leonarda Cianciulli's life not been so muddled by superstition, curses, and Romani fortune tellers, she may never have murdered at all. (She Turned Her Victims Into Soap and Teacakes) *** A family keep seeing black creatures in their home with no explanation of where they came from – or where they go. (Black Creatures on the Isle of White) *** On May 30, 1883, a stampede took place on New York's Brooklyn Bridge, killing 12 people -- all because of a bizarre rumor! But the bridge has always had a strange history. (Death On The Brooklyn Bridge) *** If humanity were to receive a message from an extraterrestrial civilization right now, it would be the single greatest event in the history of civilization. But according to a new study, such a message could also pose a serious risk to humanity. (If We Receive A Message From Aliens Should We Delete It Without Reading?) *** With as many people that pass on while being treated by EMTs, it should probably be no surprise that phantoms might be encountered in an ambulance. (Haunted Ambulance) *** There was no doubt that Thomas Joy was murdered by gunshot – but the witnesses all had different stories, as did the police. What really happened? (Who Shot “Tonce” Joy?) *** If you believe your house is haunted, it's best not to try and confirm it by using a Ouija board. Nothing good can come from that.
