Two very different experiences — one rooted in quiet, personal hauntings, the other in a dangerous game gone horribly wrong — combine to create one unforgettable episode of true paranormal stories. The first comes from Jamie in New York, who has always sensed things others miss. In Israel, standing among ancient mountain ruins, Jamie felt a tap on her shoulder though no one was near. Years later she saw a TV investigation filmed at the same ruins — capturing footsteps and voices exactly where she’d

Fifteen-year-old Kelly had just gotten home from a costume party, her parents still out, her brother heading back into town. She was alone — until a sharp knock hit the front door around 3 a.m. A small voice on the other side said, “We need to use your telephone, ma’am.” Then came another, higher and trembling: “My sister needs your bathroom.” Two children stood on the porch — pale, oddly

An ecologist in California claimed that the iron laws of nature locked humanity into destroying our environment. This meant that we must take drastic measures to rein in unfettered capitalism and the American habit of overconsumption, lest we deplete our common resources. That argument made Garrett Hardin one of the most influential and celebrated environmentalists to ever live. Yet, he had a tragic view of the world that turned his green dream into a green nightmare.This is the final episode

The period of the "second slavery" was marked by geographic expansion of zones of slavery into the Upper US South, Cuba, and Brazil and chronological expansion into the industrial age. As The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery: Technology, Labor, Race, and Capitalism in the Greater Caribbean (Oxford UP, 2020) shows, ambitious planters throughout the Greater Caribbean hired a transnational group of chemists, engineers, and other "plantation experts" to assist them in adapting industrial technologies to

When three brothers found an old Ouija board while cleaning out their late grandfather’s house, they laughed it off — just another relic in a hoarder’s home filled with old tech, radios, and walkie talkies. But the laughter didn’t last long. While sorting through boxes, the youngest brother brought in a pair of their grandfather’s old security walkie talkies. One was still on. The other refused to shut off, no matter what they did. Then came the beeping… the static… and finally, a voice. Through

We all know insects are important, but one CrowdScience listener worries that they don’t seem to have equal billing when it comes to human love and attention. In Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, listener Ruth loves to sit and listen to the birds, the bees and the hoverflies as they go about their daily chores.
