You're listening to to the Spirit podcast.
Welcome back to Beyond the Veil News, everybody.
I'm back. And tonight, the veil.
Is. Well, it's acting like it hasn't
had its coffee. It's thin, it's twitchy, and
(00:27):
it's letting through just enoughweirdness to make me question
whether we're in the right timeline or if someone hit
shuffle on the Cosmic playlist again tonight.
I've. Got a set of stories?
That the mainstream doesn't touch, mostly because they
still. Believe reality is supposed to
behave. Bless their hearts.
(00:48):
First up, animals. Acting strange after that
massive solar flare. I'm talking birds.
Deer, fish, Pets. Whole species going Nope at the
same time if nature is sending agroup.
Text we should probably. Read it, then we're.
Checking in on AI grandma yeah, she's back and she.
(01:11):
Has upgrades because clearly thefuture.
Wasn't dystopian enough? There's also a quietly.
Cleaned up alleged UFO. Crash that officials are.
Scrambling to pretend didn't happen.
I'll let you decide whether. They're confused or pretending
to be confused. Next, the rise of haunted Airbnb
complaints, which may be the funniest.
(01:33):
Lawsuit category I've ever. Seen if you open the fridge and
something breathes. Back at you, I think you deserve
at least a. Partial refund and of.
Course A. Brand new time traveler trend
that's spreading fast. Not predictions this time.
Warnings, patterns and somethingalmost nobody is talking about
yet. We'll have a listener lure
(01:54):
straight from. Someone who now sleeps.
With every light they. Own turned on and honestly.
They're valid. I got a few extra sprinkles too
to. Add in for headlines.
So settle in, grab something warm, maybe check the corners of
your room. Just for fun because.
Tonight, we're stepping beyond the veil and the veil.
(02:17):
Is definitely. Trying to get our attention.
All right, let's start with one of the strangest patterns from
the weak. The solar.
Flare and the way animals. Reacted to it before.
Anyone else even knew it happened?
While the rest of. Us were scrolling doom on our
(02:39):
phones. Nature apparently looked up,
sensed something shift and said absolutely not all across the
country. People have reported bizarre
behavior that started almost. Exactly when the flare hit
birds. Gathering in massive silent.
Clusters at weird hours. Deer pacing in circles, refusing
to cross certain. Areas.
(03:01):
Cats. Staring at walls like they were
watching someone walk by. Dogs whining, hiding or
refusing. To sleep fish.
Beaching temporarily, then returning to the water in mass
and farm animals going full Old Testament foreshadowing.
Now animals react to environmental shifts.
All the time. Earthquakes.
(03:23):
Storms. Pressure drops, but solar
flares? They shouldn't respond like.
This except. They did.
And what makes it stranger is how uniform this behavior was.
It didn't matter. What species it was or what?
Part of the country. Everything responded with.
The same message? Something changed, some
researchers claim the flare. Overloaded the magnetic field.
(03:45):
Just. Enough to confuse certain.
Species, but confusion doesn't. Explain the pattern confusion
is. Chaotic.
This was organized. Timed, a kind of instinctual
mass. Alert.
And here's the eerie. Part.
In folklore, animals were. Always considered the first.
Sensors of thinning boundaries they don't intellectualize.
(04:06):
It they just feel it, the old stories.
Say when animals act strange. It's because the field.
Around us is shifting in ways the human nervous system hasn't
caught up to yet. And this week, the field
definitely shifted. This is one of those.
Moments where science has an explanation, folklore has an
explanation. And the truth, probably.
(04:26):
Lives in the space between them,but no matter.
How you? Slice it the animals notice
something we didn't. Or maybe.
They notice something we. Ignored.
All right, let's. Talk about the story.
That makes me question whether we're.
Living in the future? Or the world's.
Strangest Black Mirror? Spin off AI grandma is.
(04:49):
Back. And apparently she's been
upgraded if you missed the original an app.
Surfaced earlier this year whereyou record your elder.
Just a few minutes of talking, moving, laughing.
And after they pass, the app generates an.
AI version of them that can. Speak to you forever like a
digital ghost. Or a chat bot wearing your
(05:11):
grandmother. 'S face, Well, that was just.
Apparently phase one because. This week, the developers.
Announced a new round of features including adaptive
memory, emotional attachment metrics, daily check, insurance,
and my personal favorite, long term relational imprinting which
basically means AI grandma now. Learns your habits your.
(05:35):
Routines your moods and respondslike she knows you now some
people. Love this idea and I.
Get it? Losing someone hurts, but there
is something deeply unsettling about letting an algorithm mimic
a soul. Your grandmother didn't just
talk to you, she knew you. She had a.
(05:56):
Spirit A. Presence A.
Lineage behind her. The digital version doesn't.
It's a. Simulation, wearing her shape
and what concerns me most. Honestly isn't the tech.
It's how quickly people. Bond with it.
How easily we replace real grief.
With artificial comfort. Grief is.
(06:19):
Supposed to transform you. It's not meant to be.
Bypassed by a. Subscription model this week
alone. Dozens of parents posted.
Videos of their kids talking. To AI grandma like she's a
living member of the family and that.
Is going to create a whole new. Category of psychological and.
Spiritual confusion in the next.Generation when a child grows
(06:41):
up. Bonding with a digital ancestor
instead of a real 1. What does that do?
To their sense of lineage or identity or connection to the
actual soul of the person. Now I'm not saying AI grandma is
dangerous, but I'm also not saying she isn't.
At minimum, we're playing with something sacred.
(07:02):
At maximum, we're teaching children to trust simulations
over the ancestral. Voices that actually walk.
With them, AI can imitate a grandmother, but it cannot
replace one. Moving on to something that
slipped under the radar this week, almost like it was meant.
(07:24):
To a very. Small, very brief report
surfaced online about an alleged.
UFO. Crash in a rural area and before
anyone could screenshot. Clip or save it.
The report disappeared. Classic.
It started as a local. Emergency scanner transmission
just after midnight. Unknown aerial object down.
(07:46):
That's it. No Plane ID?
No. Aircraft.
Type just unknown minutes later residents in the area.
Reported a flash of. White green light in the sky.
A heavy concussive thud and a low humming sound that continued
for nearly 30 seconds after impact.
Then the weirdness began. Within an hour, the area was
(08:07):
swarming. With unmarked vehicles.
Not military, unmarked, no insignias, no place.
Just mat trucks and men with radios.
Locals say the cleanup took lessthan four hours.
That's unheard of. You can't clean up a barn fire
in four. Hours, whatever fell.
It was small or extremely valuable by morning the crash.
(08:30):
Site was grated flat. And covered with temporary
fencing and when residents. Called the local authorities.
Every official. Said the same thing.
There was no. Crash like they rehearsed it.
Here's the part that. Gets me, several residents said.
Their phones. Glitched for hours afterward.
Not lost signal. Glitched.
Photos turning black, audio distorting, screens flickering.
(08:54):
One woman's phone kept recordingby itself with no files saved.
Now that's not debris, that's interference.
This has the same signature. As other quiet.
Crashes from the last decade, the ones where the object.
Is recovered fast. The area is sterilized.
And the story never hits the news cycle.
(09:15):
And if you want the truth and. Fire undertone objects like this
don't. Fall by accident.
They fall. Because something failed,
something broke or something. Left its position.
The skies have been active lately, too.
Active and events like this are usually the kind of thing that
marks the. Start of a cluster.
(09:35):
This won't be the last sighting we hear about, but it might.
Be the last crash they let slip through the cracks.
The Veil. Didn't just thin this.
Week it rattled. All right, this next story.
Absolutely cracked. Me up because it.
Feels like. The natural evolution of the gig
economy. But with ghosts, there's been a
(09:57):
spike, and I mean a genuine spike in reports of haunted
Airbnb's. And not in the cute oh I heard a
noise way. We're talking full paranormal
reviews. Five stars, beautiful home,
excellent location, but the shadow man in the hallway
wouldn't stop watching me brush my teeth.
People are posting. Videos of closet.
Doors opening by themselves. Lights.
(10:19):
Flickering in patterns. Faucets turning on at 3:00 AM
and 1:00 Guest. Swears.
A rocking chair started moving the moment they laid down in
bed. Now here's where it gets even
more ridiculous. Some guests are demanding
refunds because the haunting wasn't listed as an amenity.
Honestly fair. If I book a stay and the house
(10:41):
contains A transparent roommate who stands in the corner.
Like he's. Waiting for a jump scare queue.
I would at least want 20% off mytotal.
But the hosts? Oh.
The hosts. They are even funnier, several
have claimed. There's no ghost.
It must have been the HVAC system.
Right, because the HVAC. System is known for whispering
full sentences in Victorian accents.
(11:03):
Others blame old plumbing. Drafts or quirky architecture
and one host actually. Wrote.
We've never seen the woman in white, but some guests have
stronger imaginations. Sir, if multiple guests have
seen the same woman in the same white dress in the same hallway,
that's not imagination, that's aCo worker you're refusing to
acknowledge. But here's the deeper.
(11:24):
Layer and why this story matters.
Airbnb's are often older homes, repurposed, renovated and filled
with people cycling through constantly.
Spirits hate that. They don't like transients, they
like stability. Kind of like a cat, right?
Continuity routine when the energetic tenants change.
(11:46):
Every three days it disrupts. The field.
So these hauntings aren't new, they're just annoyed.
Imagine being a ghost trying to do your nightly spectral pacing
and every 72 hours new people show up from Denver with a
suitcase and an oat milk latte. Airbnb's are the perfect storm.
Old structures with emotional history.
Plus high guest. Turnover plus low spiritual
(12:08):
maintenance. The result?
Hauntings with an attitude problem.
So yes, refund the guests and maybe sage the house.
Possibly hire a priest. Or at least list resident
apparition under. House rules so.
Nobody's surprised now this headline.
(12:30):
This one has a different flavor than usual.
Time from the year 2749 and everyone eats holograms.
TikTok prophecies. There's a new wave of supposed
time travelers online, but instead of dropping dates,
doomsday predictions are lotterynumbers.
They're all repeating the same warning.
(12:52):
In slightly different ways. And it's this.
Pay attention to the shifts you can't name yet.
That's it. Not a threat, not a prophecy,
not a timeline, a pattern. What's?
Weird is how. Synchronized the messaging is.
None of them are using the same sound, the same phrasing, or
referencing each other. But the underlying sentiment is
(13:14):
identical. People are waking up faster than
expected. Something is being revealed in
spell pieces. Not a single event, but a
sequence. Watch the ones who.
Disappear quietly. November through February will.
Feel out of order. One creator claims they're from
2137, another one says 2721. Says they're not from a year,
(13:37):
they're from a branch. But again, same undertone.
Here's the part that caught my attention.
Multiple accounts all mentioned time feeling glitchy, like weeks
folding oddly or days blending unnaturally.
You know, the thing normal people on Earth have been
complaining about for months? We've.
Seen time traveler trends before?
(13:57):
They're usually chaotic, inconsistent, and honestly
pretty entertaining. Predicting alien arrivals on.
Tuesdays portals at Target. Oceans evaporating.
You name it. But this wave?
No theatrics, no specifics, justa shared sensation that
something's shifting. Almost like they're not
predicting a future event, they're responding to a present
(14:19):
one. And here's where it gets
interesting from a folklore angle.
Every culture has stories. Of messengers beings.
Or people who show up right before a shift to say.
Pay attention now. They're not profits and they're
not. Oracles.
They're observers. Witnesses who show up at Hinge
moments. Whether these accounts are real
(14:40):
fictional AI generated or just acollective unconscious surfacing
through trend cycles, the messaging is consistent.
Something subtle is moving. You're supposed to notice the
misalignment you're. Supposed to feel the.
Weirdness, and honestly, if the veil has been acting the way it
has lately, I wouldn't be. Surprised if people are.
Picking up on things they don't have language for yet.
(15:03):
Time travelers are not. The pattern itself is the point.
For tonight's strange tale from History Shadow, we're traveling
back to a winter evening in 1892, to a quiet Massachusetts
(15:27):
town that no longer exists on modern maps.
It was. Called Grafton Hollow, and at
the time it had one church, 1 schoolhouse, and a population
small enough that everyone knew everyone else's business, living
or otherwise. Kind of sounds like a little
house on the Prairie. For decades, Grafton Hollow was
known for one thing, the old church.
(15:49):
Bell. It had been cast in the early
1700s. Forged with a.
Mixture of bronze and something the original blacksmith
described only as a metal that wasn't from here.
Nobody questioned it. This was the 18th.
Century, after all. But people noticed the bell had
a strange sound. It didn't ring like the other
bells. It hummed.
(16:11):
It vibrated in the bones. It was said to make dogs whine
and infants go silent as if it was speaking on a frequency
outside of human hearing for over 100 and. 50 years, the Bell
did its job. Calling people to worship,
marking weddings, declaring fires, announcing deaths.
But on the night of January 12th, 1892, something changed.
(16:35):
Without anyone near the tower, without a storm, without wind,
without any physical disturbance, the bell began
ringing on its own at. First, the villagers.
Thought it was a prank, maybe some boys pulling the rope, but
when the people. Gathered outside the church.
They found the rope perfectly still untouched, swaying gently
(16:57):
like something invisible had just let go of it.
The bell continued. 6 slow tolls, then a pause, then 767
repeated again and again with unnatural precision.
People fled the square. Livestock panicked every house
(17:18):
in Grafton Hollow. Little Lantern convinced
something had crossed into the world that shouldn't have.
By morning, the bell had gone silent.
And here's where the story turnsuncanny exactly 6 months later
to the day. A fire swept through.
Grafton Hollow, destroying nearly every building.
No one died, but almost everyoneleft afterwards, swearing the
(17:42):
town felt wrong. Now Hollow emptied.
Seven months after that, the church collapsed on its own in
perfectly calm weather, as if something had pulled the beams
inward. Today, Grafton Hollow is gone.
The area is reforested but. Hikers report something strange.
(18:02):
If you stand near where the church once stood and the wind
hits a certain angle, you can hear a low metallic hum.
Not ringing, not an echo, just the hum of a bell that hasn't
existed for over a century. Local historians call it
superstition. Folklorists.
Call it a residual haunting, butold timers say something
(18:23):
different. The bell wasn't warning us about
death, it was warning us about change.
And in a way, that's the signature of all true hauntings.
Not fear, but foreshadowing. Tonight's listener lore comes
from Alyssa in Vermont, who wrote in with a story that
honestly made me pause and look at my own staircase for a solid
(18:44):
minute afterward. Alyssa says she lived in an
older farmhouse built in the early 1900's.
The kind of place where, in her words.
The floors creak the walls. Breathe and the Attic definitely
has opinions. She lives there.
With her husband and their dog Milo, who has never once shown a
(19:04):
hint of fear in his entire chaotic golden retriever
existence until 3:00. Weeks ago, Alyssa said.
It started with the sound of footsteps on the stairs, not the
random settling of wood. These were paced.
Even heavy, like someone walkingdown the steps slowly and
stopping on the 7th stair every time.
(19:25):
At first, she assumed it was herhusband, until one night.
The footsteps started. While he was sitting right next
to her, she said. Milo.
Lifted his head, stared at the staircase.
Growled once and then crawled into her lap.
The £70 dog who eats ice cubes and drywall for fun suddenly
acted like something was standing between them and the
upstairs. Hallway.
(19:45):
That was the first night. The second night, it got
weirder. Alyssa woke up at 3:00. 14 AM of
course, and saw a light in the stairwell, not bright.
Just the faint. Outline of something
illuminated. She thought maybe the moon was
coming in through the window until the light moved.
She described it as a white silhouette, a shape of a.
(20:06):
Person but without features, standing on the 7th step, still
quiet, like it was listening. She blinked and it was gone.
But the next morning, she found something on the stop.
A single penny dated 1914, the year the house was built.
Now she swears they don't collect old coins, and she's
(20:29):
never seen that penny before. She put it on the counter and
two nights later, another one appeared.
Same stop, same date. That's when she wrote in.
She asked me what I think it is.And here's my honest take.
Some spirits, they don't announce themselves with fear.
Some announced themselves with pattern repetition, A small
(20:49):
object placed with intention, a step chosen again and again, a
year tied to memory. Now this doesn't feel malevolent
to me. It feels like a residual.
Presence becoming intelligent, or an intelligent presence using
repetition to make itself known gently without crossing into
threat. Old.
(21:10):
Houses remember some spirits linger in those memories, and
sometimes when the veil. Flickers just right.
They want someone to know they're still there.
So Alyssa, if you're listening, thank you for the story.
And maybe keep that penny somewhere safe.
Sometimes the smallest things carry the strongest echoes.
(21:45):
This next story has been quietly.
Passing through. Hospital networks.
And it's one of those whispers that usually indicate something
bigger happening under the surface.
Several nurses, EMTs and night shift workers in different
states reported the same strangepattern.
Patients waking from sedation, fever dreams or anaesthesia
describing the same imagery. Not similar, not vaguely
(22:10):
connected, the same themes. A long hallway with no.
Doors a low. Hum like machinery behind a
wall. A tall.
Figure standing at the end not moving and an overwhelming sense
of being observed. One patient described it as a
(22:30):
place between places. Another said I don't think it
was a dream, I. Think it was a.
Waiting room for something Hospital staff say they normally
hear all kinds of wild dream accounts.
Anaesthesia can produce everything from opera
hallucinations to talking animals.
But this this. Is different.
This is synchronized. Some doctors are brushing it
(22:53):
off. As the power of.
Suggestion. But these patients weren't in
the same rooms, they didn't knoweach other, and they had no
shared media exposure. What's even stranger, A few
staff members have admitted thatthey've had the same dream
recently. A hallway.
A hum, A watcher. Whatever.
This is it feels. Like a collective.
Subconscious moment, almost likethe human psyche is pinging on
(23:16):
the same frequency at the same time and historically shared
dream show up right before shifts in the field.
World events and awakenings. This one's worth watching.
This next headline feels like itwalked right out of an Indiana
Jones film, but it's real, and archaeologists are still
scratching their heads. A newly uncovered burial chamber
(23:39):
was discovered inside the solid.Wall of a previously.
Mapped ancient structure, meaning the chamber.
Literally appeared where? According to measurements, empty
stone used to be it was found when a small section of the wall
collapsed unexpectedly, revealing a hollow interior
covered in fully intact carvings, pottery and human
(24:00):
remains. Here's the bizarre part Every.
Archaeological skin ever taken of that structure, including
three done in the last five years, showed no cavity, no
chamber, no anomaly, just stone.It's as if the room wasn't there
until now. Historians are.
Baffled folklorists are thrilled.
Because this lines up with a rare phenomenon described an old
(24:24):
European and Middle Eastern lore.
Sites that return when they are needed, places hidden then
revealed as if the past. Itself shifts to.
Deliver a message. Some chambers, the stories say,
appear in times of transition, when the bell opens, or when the
collective consciousness begins to change.
Whether this is? In a natural cave in coincidence
(24:46):
or something more, the timing isuncanny.
Archaeologists don't like admitting that sometimes history
moves, but this chamber seems tohave.
Arrived with purpose. This one's short.
But it hits hard. The jogger in Illinois reported
walking home around 9:30 PM, stepping under a street light,
(25:08):
and then the next thing he knew he blinked and it was 11:37 PM.
He was standing in the same exact spot, same posture, same
foot, mid step, no fall, no blackout, no collapse.
Two hours. Gone now Security Cam footage
from a nearby. Shop shows the street.
Light flicker once and then the man simply doesn't move.
(25:28):
For two hours. No sway, no shifting, no
breathing. Visible, just frozen.
Then the lights flicker again and he snaps back into motion
like he never. Paused, doctors say.
There's no medical explanation. He has no history of seizures,
sleepwalking, disassociation or neurological disorders.
The man described the moment like this.
Everything went quiet, like I stepped out of the world for a
(25:51):
minute. Except it wasn't a minute.
Time slips are rare, true ones are even rarer, but when they do
show up, they tend to cluster. And given the other stories
we've covered tonight, this. Kind of fits the pattern.
(26:12):
Hospitals have their share. Of administrative errors,
misspellings, mixed up charts, the occasional case of two John
Smith's in the same ward. But this this is different.
A hospital intake system flaggedan error last.
Week. For two new patients with the
same full name, born the same year, admitted the same morning
for different reasons. Weirder still, multiple nurses
(26:36):
swear the two men looked identical.
Not similar. Not cousins, identical.
Both claimed they had no idea. Who the other was?
Both had different addresses, different jobs and different
emergency contacts. Here's the creepiest part.
When staff tried to. Pull the security.
Footage from both admissions thevideo system glitched.
One man appears, the other does not.
(26:58):
Not erased, not corrupted, just missing.
Doctors, chalk it up. To a computer error, nurses say
no, they saw two men with the same face and the same name.
And of course, you know I have to go into the folklore
explanation. Sometimes Vale gets thin enough
that paths cross, sometimes 2 versions of a person show up at
the same place, and sometimes the cameras don't know.
(27:21):
Which reality to record? Our final headline tonight
circles. Back to the solar flare.
Because apparently it affected more than just technology and
house pets. Dozens of videos of surfaced
showing mass gatherings of Ravens on rooftops, power lines,
church steeples, barns, all eerily silent, all watching the
(27:44):
same direction. Ravens don't normally gather in
huge groups like this unless there's a.
Food source or a predator, but. In these videos, they're not
looking down, they're looking outward like they're waiting.
And Ravens have always been omenbirds.
Not bad omens, not evil. Just watchers, messengers, the
(28:05):
ones who notice what humans don't.
Combine that with the animal behavior earlier, the time slip,
the shared dreams, the UFO incident, the tomb that arrived,
and the. Electrical glitches everywhere.
And it paints a picture, one we don't fully understand yet, but
one that definitely has the Ravens paying attention.
(28:28):
Animals sense things, but Ravens, Ravens understand
things. So when they gather silently,
something is shifting. And that wraps up tonight's
(28:49):
journey through the strange, thesymbolic, and the stuff that
absolutely does not. Behave according to the laws of
physics. As we were taught them, if
there's one thing to take from all these stories, the animals
acting like they got a cosmic group text, the dreams people
keep sharing, the tomb that shouldn't.
Exist the double s? In the hospital, the Ravens
gathering like they're waiting for the next chapter.
(29:10):
It's this. The world is whispering, and
more people are finally hearing it.
Not in loud, dramatic ways and quiet ones, and patterns in
moments that don't match the rational.
World but feel true. That's the beauty of nights like
this. You get to notice the cracks in
the veneer. You get to see what's
underneath. You get to remember that the
(29:32):
veil isn't broken, it's just tired of pretending it's opaque.
So thank you for spending your night with me, for keeping your
curiosity intact, and for choosing the path where mystery
is still allowed to mean something.
If tonight's stories made you shiver, laugh, or stare into the
corner of your room for a secondlonger than usual, do me a.
Favor Share this episode. And hit the follow and if you
(29:54):
still feel called, you can support the show on coffee.
Or drop a super chat or. Whatever keeps the Lantern lit
and the signal clear. But most of all, trust your
instincts this week. Trust your dreams, trust the way
the animals are reacting, and trust the way the world feels
before your mind tries to explain it.
(30:15):
Because the veil. Hasn't just thinned, it's paying
attention. Until next time, keep your
senses sharp. Your heart steady.
