About this listen
The Coles County Poor Farm. A home for the homeless. The end of the line for those considered the dregs of society. Men, women and children with special needs; those suffering alcoholism, mental illness, or substance abuse; or simply incapable of supporting themselves. All of them called this rural Illinois facility home.
Stories swirl around Ashmore Estates...stories of ghosts...of demons...of dark entities who attack the unwary. Does the laughter of a little girl who burned to death still echo through the empty rooms? Can the spirit of a man believed to have been killed by a speeding train still stalk the hallways and grounds?
Join author Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Hospitals," "Paranormal 911" and "Paranormal Revenge") as he and a team of dedicated researchers explore the mysteries of the infamous Ashmore Estates.

Malvern Manor has been many things over the course of its long life. It was often the last refuge for those suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and severe behavioral disorders. Long after the building closed its doors for the final time, many people claim some of those residents never left. Now a magnet for paranormal investigators, it is said the abandoned rooms and hallways of Malvern Manor are haunted by the restless spirits of those who once called it home.

For hundreds of years, weary travelers have gathered at the fireside of the Skirrid Inn, one of the oldest pubs in Wales. For generations, landlords at the inn left a cup of ale outside overnight as an offering to ward off dark spirits. Upstairs, judges once held court, and it is claimed that more than 180 convicted criminals were hanged on the Skirrid's main staircase, where an executioner's noose still dangles as a grisly reminder.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.
