EPISODE BEING DISCUSSED: https://weirddarkness.com/mothmanharbingerofdoom/SYNOPSIS: Hosts Ghost and Ghoul Friend conduct an in-depth analysis of Darren Marlar's Weird Darkness episode "Mothman: Harbinger of Doom," exploring the concentrated year of terror that gripped Point Pleasant, West Virginia between November 1966 and December 1967. The discussion examines over 100 credible witness accounts of the seven-foot winged creature with glowing red eyes, beginning with the harrowing high-speed chase of the Scarberry and Millat couples, the mysterious disappearance of Newell Partridge's dog Bandit, and Marcella Bennett's traumatic close encounter. The hosts analyze the creature's consistent physical descriptions, its connection to UFO sightings and "men in black" encounters in the area, and the tragic Silver Bridge collapse that killed 46 people in December 1967—questioning whether Mothman was a harbinger of the disaster or directly responsible for it. The episode expands beyond Mothman to explore related phenomena including 19th-century mystery airships, 1960s UFO encounters with missing time, psychic abilities and their psychological toll, Steven Stayner's kidnapping survival story, and the absurdly dangerous 1908 Great Race from New York to Paris. Throughout, the hosts examine how unexplained encounters create lasting psychological trauma—fear without memory, dread without explanation—that fundamentally changes those who experience the unknown.

3. Supply vs. Demand: Economic Shocks, Entitlements, and the Invisible Population Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt explores the competing explanations for the ghost army, contrasting his supply-side argument (men holding back labor/unpreparedness) with demand-side views from critics Henry Olsen and Jared Bernstein. Olsen highlights the role of economic shocks and structural changes, like the 1970s stagflation and deindustrialization (the Rust Belt). The role of entitlements is significant, as over half of NILF men receive at least one benefit, often disability payments like SSDI. Regional differences in labor force participation (e.g., high inactivity in West Virginia adjacent to low inactivity in Maryland) mitigate a purely national demand-side case. The source stresses the lack of data on the estimated 25 million ex-convicts, who are an "invisible population" largely untracked by labor statistics. 1929

David Belford lives on a 22-acre property that is forested and mountainous, in West Virginia. He's had two Sasquatch sightings and both of them happened while he was on his property. He's also a team member of the WV Case Bigfoot Collective. That's a Sasquatch investigation team that an investigator named Les O'Dell created. Dave has been into Bigfooting for 10 years or more. What sparked his interest in Sasquatch was a documentary he saw that featured Dr. Jeffery Meldrum. When Dave had his first sighting, in June of last year, he was taking his dog, Ted, out at 3 AM. After taking Ted out, Dave randomly glanced up to a hillside that's visible from his backyard and was shocked by what he saw. We hope you'll tune in to not only find out what he saw that night, but also what happened when he had his second sighting.If you'd like to check out the WV Case Bigfoot Collective Taylor County, WV Facebook Page, please visit…https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574165976966If you'd like to check out Dave's Three Fork Creek Outdoors YouTube Channel, which we hope you will, please visit… https://www.youtube.com/@threeforkcreekoutdoors704If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

America's housing shortage continues to put affordable homes out of reach for people across the country — from small towns to big cities. While West Virginia has the nation's highest level of homeownership overall, many residents still struggle to find something that works for their budget. In fact, nearly 140,000 West Virginians spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. In this episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay looks at the squeeze in two places—Philadelphia and southern West Virginia—finding that while inventory has improved, costs remain well above pre-pandemic levels and even manufactured homes, once an entry point for many, are slipping out of reach.

After evidence of a violent attack is discovered in a West Virginia home, the body of a beloved photojournalist is found in the woods.

Steve sits down with Senator Tom Willis, representing West Virginia's 15th Senate District, an active National Guardsman and Special Forces Green Beret, to discuss National Guard deployments across the country and how these efforts, alongside Donald Trump's initiatives to clean up cities, are helping make America safer. They explore why the left opposes these common-sense safety measures, the importance of strong leadership, and how conservative policies prioritize law, order, and community protection.

It was a sobering Saturday in Orlando for the Mountaineers. Despite an extra week to prepare, West Virginia was outplayed in every phase by UCF. The Knights' 45–13 rout leaves WVU searching for answers with five regular season games still to play.In this episode, the “Guys” break down what went wrong, why the team seems to be sliding backward instead of forward, and what can still be salvaged from the season. They also discuss the Mountaineer basketball team's impressive closed-door scrimmage against Maryland — and what it might reveal about the year ahead.Listener questions and comments wrap up the show with another round of Textual Healing.

On this episode of The LOOPcast, Tom is joined by Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia for a  conversation on faith, work, and America's economic future. They dive into Bishop Barron's vision, the dignity of hands-on trades like welding, and what a healthy economy built on real work should look like.

This week, The Voices of SOUL ON FIRE series welcomes John Corbett, the beloved actor, musician, and storyteller who portrays my dad Denny O'Leary on the big screen. Long before he became known for his roles in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Northern Exposure, and Sex and the City, John was a kid from a small West Virginia town, whose path from humble beginnings to Hollywood success reads like a movie script itself. Today, John shares the moments that shaped him from hydro-testing steel pipes to discovering his gift for storytelling in a college improv class. He opens up about humility in the spotlight, his deep love for his wife Bo Derek, and the raw emotion that came from portraying my father in SOUL ON FIRE. My friends, if you need a reminder that it's never too late for your life to take an unexpected turn, or that joy and kindness are what truly make a person shine, this conversation is for you. You'll leave it reminded that our stories, no matter how ordinary they begin, can ignite something extraordinary when we choose to live with hope, humor, and heart.  

oin former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a timely and candid online-only conversation about his maverick career in government, crossing party lines, and addressing the dysfunction at the heart of our politics—centered around his new memoir, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense. At a time when our country feels more divided than ever, Senator Manchin is inviting Americans back to the center—where solutions are possible, principles still matter, and leadership starts with listening.  From the coal fields of Farmington, West Virginia, to some of the highest-stakes decisions in the U.S. Senate, Manchin has never wavered from his core beliefs: fiscal responsibility, social compassion, and putting country before party. In Dead Center—part memoir, part manifesto—he makes a passionate case for a new, solutions-oriented politics rooted in common sense. Reflecting on the decisions that shaped him as a leader and public servant, he shares never-before-told stories from inside the Senate and the White House, along with fresh insight into how government can deliver real results for the American people.  It's a reminder that leadership still matters, character still counts, and common sense should never go out of style.

Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan reported to a federal facility in Morgantown, West Virginia this week.

It's fall, it's October and the US Supreme Court is back in session. On today's episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Jamal Lockings. With Jamall we will cover the big cases to be heard by the court. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits.    Attorneys for this Episode  Brittany Hacker  Susan Finkle Sourlis  Jamaal Lockings     Intro to Justice Program  Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.     Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Jamaal Lockings. Jamaal is a fellow attorney who serves as a Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team.   Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.     Cases to watch out for this term  Voting Rights and Money In Politics  Louisiana v. Callais  Issue: Whether a states efforts to comply with the VRA is, in itself, a form of racial discrimination   (1) Rehearing from last term (2) The Court is playing politics (3) the VRA is on the chopping block   Consequences: A final blow to the VRA, and increased difficulty for minority voters to participate in free and fair elections   National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC  Issue: Whether to maintain the federal limits on political party coordination w/ candidates in campaign advertising.   (1) Could render campaign contribution limits meaningless, increasing the already outsized influence of money in politics (2) These cases on elections and voting rights can't be observed in a vacuum     LGBTQ+   Chiles v. Salazar   Issue: Whether Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” for minors violates First Amendment protections of free speech and religious exercise   (1) Religious litigants have been notoriously successful in this court (2) free speech and religious exercise have been used not to ensure equity or equality but to prop up Christian nationalist ideology.   West Virginia v. B.P.J.   Issue: Title IX and barring Trans athletes   (1) This court continues to wade into culture wars (2) It's ruling in Skrmetti and Justice Barrett's assertion that Trans isn't a protected states (3) Embolden lawmakers to continue to write oppressive laws against trans individuals    Executive Power & Civil Liberties   Trump v. Slaughter   Issue: whether statutory removal protections for members of the FTC – and agencies like it – “violate” the separation of powers.    (1) The Court's emergency orders this summer (2) growing belief in the unitary executive theory (3) Likely to overrule Humphrey's executor  Consequences: Collapse of independent agencies and with it, governing stability.     What c3s can do:  Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases.   Litigation at the supreme court: c3s are often the best voice and represent groups who otherwise would not be heard or could not bring such large scale cases  Amicus briefs   Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions  As you know c3 public charities may engage in lobbying and there are ways through lobbying that can affect the courts at the federal or maybe the state level  Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying)  Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well  Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount.  Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote).   Resources  Alliance for Justice, Being a Player  Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices  Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker  Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform 

A beautiful 19th-century hotel in Parkersburg, West Virginia, famous for its Victorian charm and October ghost tours, hides a chilling secret: not all of its guests ever checked out. Two businessmen arrived for a mid-week stay, unaware that the hotel — built in 1880 and once the starting point for local haunted tours — still had stories to tell. The lobby was eerily empty, no staff at the desk, no guests in sight. They approached the old, slow elevator… and that's when they saw her. A pale, elegant woman dressed in turn-of-the-century clothing, ankle-high lace-up boots, wide-brimmed hat. She smiled politely and stepped back, saying, “You can drive the elevator.” She pressed for the second floor — a level closed to the public for renovations. As the doors slid open, the woman seemed to float out, gliding silently down the dark hallway. The men noticed, horrified, that she had no visible feet. Locals say the hotel is one of Parkersburg's most haunted spots, and the passing of its famed storyteller, Susan Sheppard, has only deepened the mystery. Is the lady in the elevator a remnant of the hotel's Gilded-Age past — or something darker still lingering in the halls? #HauntedHotel #GhostInTheElevator #ParkersburgHaunting #TrueGhostStory #VictorianGhost #RealHaunting #HauntedWestVirginia #LadyInTheElevator #HistoricHotelHauntings #ParanormalEncounter #CreepyElevatorRide #TrueParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?

The municipal animal shelter in Huntington, West Virginia, was euthanizing 50 to 75 percent of the animals that came in because they didn't have the funding or space to care for them. Enter Courtney Proctor Cross. She was named director of the shelter in August 2018, and through hard work and fundraising she transformed the shelter into a place of hope.

Mike previews the new Supreme Court term: Colorado's conversion-therapy ban, transgender athlete cases out of Idaho and West Virginia, a Louisiana Voting Rights Act fight, and a Rastafarian grooming claim, then dials in the panic meter on the “shadow docket”: what it is, why Trump's emergency-order wins look so lopsided, and where concern beats catastrophizing. From the vault, law professor Stephen Vladeck explains how the Court's stealth rulings amass power, and why explanations matter.
