Okay, let's get into today's stories.
7
On the afternoon of January 16, 1960, a 75 -year -old man named Julian Opier carried a bag of groceries into his apartment in Toulon,
8
which is a city in France.
9
He set the bag down on the counter, and then he looked around at the small kitchen with a twinge of sadness, because he knew he would never see it again after tonight.
10
Then, like always, he pulled out a cutting board and a knife, and he began chopping vegetables for dinner.
11
And as he was doing that, he heard his 77 -year -old wife, Marie, call out to him from the bedroom.
12
So he went to see what she needed, and he found her sitting up in bed, but propped up with some pillows, which was exactly how he had left her.
13
So two years earlier, Marie had gotten very sick with a mysterious illness, and she had been totally paralyzed ever since.
14
Now, she could talk, and she could move her eyes, and sometimes she could even shift her shoulders around with quite a bit of effort, but that was about it.
15
And so ever since this paralyzation happened, ever since this mystery illness set in, Julian had become her full -time caretaker,
16
which was exhausting and somewhat depressing.
17
And to make matters worse, at least from Julian's perspective, over time, his wife had really only gotten more bitter and more demanding.
18
So taking care of her had basically taken over every waking moment of Julian's life, both physically and mentally.
19
And so now, as he, you know, with a sigh, walked over, and reached the bed that his wife was in,
20
Marie told Julian that he needed to change her diaper because she had gone to the bathroom while he was gone, and he hadn't been there to help her with the bedpan.
21
Now, Julian could tell that sort of in this statement was quite a bit of resentment, that she was annoyed that he had left her alone while he went to the store.
22
But he didn't argue.
23
He just nodded and started pulling back the sheets.
24
And as Julian did this, he actually felt a wave of calm come over him because he knew this would be the last time.
25
Julian had known for a while now that he simply could not keep living like this.
26
It just was not going to fly for him.
27
He couldn't do it.
28
But he also knew that Marie's quality of life, which was already quite poor, would be even worse without him,
29
which is why he'd made up his mind to end it all tonight, not only for himself, but also for Marie.
30
Later that night, after Julian had cleaned up his wife and then also made dinner and fed them both and then cleaned up after dinner,
31
he sat in the bed next to Marie reading her a book like he did every night.
32
And when he noticed that she was beginning to drift off, he put the book aside and he gently adjusted the pillows so his wife could lie flat and sleep comfortably.
33
Then after that, he switched off the lamp
34
and he got out of bed
35
and he left the room he went to a closet
36
and he pulled out a rope and then he took the rope to the bathroom
37
and he spent a few minutes setting it up after it
38
was set up he grabbed a knife from the kitchen
39
and went back into the bedroom where his wife was
40
and for a few minutes he just stood there you know
41
with this knife in hand staring at his his wife as she slept
42
and you know for a minute there he didn't know if he could do it but then he decided he had to, and now was the time.
43
And so after taking a few deep breaths, Julian raised the knife up, and his whole body is shaking from nerves and adrenaline like he can't believe what he's about to do,
44
and so he ended up gripping the knife with two hands, and then he closed his eyes, and he plunged the knife down into Marie.
45
At that same moment, in the next apartment over, Julian's neighbor, a man named Roger Moncuso, was getting ready to go to bed.
46
And as he was about to climb into his bed, he hears this piercing scream coming through the walls.
47
And he could tell right away it was coming from Julian's place.
48
So he jumped up and he ran outside, went around, and began banging on their door.
49
But nobody was answering.
50
But Roger could clearly still hear screaming coming from inside of Julian's place.
51
And so Roger began slamming his shoulder into the door over
52
and over and over again until it burst open and then he rushed in.
53
And as soon as he was in there, he just followed the constant screaming.
54
into the bedroom where it was coming from and
55
when he got to the doorway
56
and saw what was happening in the bedroom he just froze
57
because he was looking at a miracle it would turn out
58
when julian went to murder his wife he was
59
so nervous he was shaking so badly that
60
when he brought the knife down he missed her chest where he was trying to stab
61
and he wound up stabbing her in the side of the head now this didn't kill her
62
but it did wake her up and it shocked her
63
so much that she jumped to her feet and began screaming and
64
so roger the next door neighbor barrels into the apartment he
65
makes it to the the doorway of the bedroom he looks in he sees marie's screaming
66
but really what he sees the miracle is that she's standing he knows she's paralyzed like she hasn't moved in years,
67
and she's standing, hand on her head from the stab wound.
68
Not that Roger knows that, but he can't believe she's just standing there.
69
How did this happen?
70
Later, Marie's doctors would determine that her paralysis was very real.
71
She could not move.
72
That was absolutely real.
73
But the cause for it was psychological.
74
There wasn't anything wrong with her body.
75
It was due to this very serious mental block.
76
But when she was stabbed in the head in her sleep, and she woke up to find her husband standing there with the bloody knife,
77
that was such a shock to her system that it effectively reset her.
78
It got rid of the mental block and cured her paralysis.
79
Now, in the moment, like immediately after the stabbing, Julian had been so horrified by what he'd done that he'd actually gone through with the second part of his plan.
80
As his wife is screaming there holding her stab wound, he went right into the bathroom and hung himself.
81
But, thankfully, because Marie was screaming so loudly, their neighbor Roger, who busted into the apartment, he was there within minutes,
82
and he was able to cut Julian down and revive him.
83
And so, of course, Marie and Julian lived happily ever after.
84
There were no issues whatsoever with Julian stabbing his wife in the head because he cured her.

On the evening of Sunday, March 15, 1970, a woman named Lisa Cooper sat in the living room of her home in Daytona Beach, Florida, along with her husband and two kids.
100
The kids were playing a board game and her husband was reading the newspaper
101
and Lisa was dealing with a really bad headache.
102
But this was not really unusual for Lisa.
103
She'd had a lot of dental issues in the past, and the result of that was getting headaches quite a bit.
104
But now, as she closed her eyes and just kind of hoped her head would stop hurting, Lisa heard someone turn on the radio, like really, really loudly.
105
And it was this aggressive orchestra -style marching song that was like blaringly loud, which made her headache instantly worse.
106
She immediately opened her eyes and looked over at her son, who was sitting closest to where the radio was on the side table, and she yelled at him to turn it off, or at least turn it way down.
107
But her son just looked at her with this confused look and said he didn't even know what she was talking about.
108
The radio wasn't on.
109
But Lisa, I mean, she was so annoyed because she could literally hear it playing, and it was so loud that, like, she couldn't stand it for another second.
110
So she She just got up and walked over to switch it off herself, but when Lisa got to it, she saw that her son was right.
111
The radio really was off.
112
Which didn't make any sense at all, because the song was still, currently, blasting in her head.
113
It was so loud, it had to be coming from somewhere in this room.
114
But then, just as suddenly as it started, it stopped.
115
And Lisa stood there, dazed, and asked her husband and kids if they knew where the music had been coming from.
116
Like, it wasn't our radio, but it had to be coming from somewhere.
117
And they all looked kind of bewildered for a moment, and then said, there hadn't been a song playing.
118
Like, you must be hearing things.
119
Now, this was obviously jarring and really weird for Lisa.
120
But Lisa decided that, well, her family must be right.
121
Like, there was three of them and one of her.
122
They didn't hear anything.
123
she must have just somehow imagined it.
124
So she just kind of awkwardly went back to the couch and closed her eyes again, and then she heard the crinkle of the newspaper as her husband went back to reading it,
125
and the kids started playing and laughing and just doing their game.
126
One week later, Lisa was in her kitchen cooking up some scrambled eggs and bacon.
127
Her family sat at the table nearby, and they were waiting for breakfast to be ready.
128
And as Lisa was cooking, she suddenly heard a bunch of loud, abrupt bells start chiming.
129
It was definitely music, and she realized right away it must be some kind of Christmas song playing.
130
And when she looked over at her family to ask where it was coming from, they definitely did not appear to be hearing it at all.
131
They were all just laughing and talking and carrying on like there was nothing playing.
132
There was no music playing.
133
But she hears this Christmas music playing very clearly, and so she asked about it anyway.
134
And once again, they all just kind of looked confused and said, no, they definitely cannot hear any music.
135
But at this point, because of what had happened a week earlier, they started gently teasing her, like, oh, looks like you're hearing things again.
136
But Lisa, she understood the spirit of the joke, but for her, this was serious.
137
Like, she didn't think this was funny.
138
Like, right this second, as they're joking with her, she can hear the music playing.
139
And she felt like, you know, And when this music was playing, she couldn't do anything but hear it, like it just overtook her entire sensory perception.
140
And in fact, for the whole rest of that day and the next day, Lisa kept hearing music.
141
And at first, because her family had sort of lightly teased her about it, she thought, maybe they're playing some really tasteless, horrible prank on me.
142
But she found, over these couple of days, that the music just wouldn't stop, even when her family wasn't home.
143
It was the same rotation of songs, too, over and over and over again.
144
And for days, Lisa looked all around the house for anything that might be causing it.
145
But she didn't find anything.
146
And it was kind of making her feel crazy, like really, like she was losing her mind.
147
Over the coming days and weeks, this music situation only got worse, to the point where she literally couldn't even sleep.
148
She would just lay in bed, wide awake, listening to these bells and all this orchestra music playing.
149
It was, like, constant.
150
And in fact, it was where she was one morning in early April, in her bed, just sort of laying there listening to this music,
151
when her husband suddenly burst into the room
152
and he said he knew exactly what was going on with this music because he'd just read about it in the newspaper.
153
After her husband told her what he'd discovered in the paper, Lisa did two things.
154
First, she went to a very specific type of doctor.
155
And then second, she took out a paid advertisement in the newspaper with a very particular request.
156
And the combination of these things mostly solved Lisa's problem.
157
It would turn out Lisa was not going crazy.
158
She actually was hearing music that nobody else could hear.
159
Because the dental work that she'd had years ago had left her with metal fillings and crowns,
160
and she'd had enough of them that her mouth actually started working like a radio.
161
So in certain cases, metal dental fillings in crowns can actually act like small radio wave detectors.
162
If a filling is both loose and made of the right types of metal, radio waves can actually make the filling vibrate,
163
which basically turns it into a speaker inside of a person's skull.
164
So Lisa had been hearing real music from a real radio signal, just projected through her teeth.
165
Now, this is medically possible, but incredibly rare.
166
But it had happened before.
167
Lisa's husband had read about a similar case in the newspaper of all places, which was how he knew what was going on.
168
And he recommended that she go see a dentist.
169
And so the dentist, the specialized doctor she saw, ended up swapping out one of her clearly loose crowns, which greatly reduced the music,
170
but didn't completely get rid of it.
171
Like, she still would hear music
172
when it was being played by this apparent one station out there that was playing these same songs on repeat.
173
And so she also put an ad out in the paper listing those songs, along with her phone number, being like, hey, this is happening to me.
174
If this is your playlist, stop, because it's driving me crazy, but no one ever got in touch, and so she never found out who was doing it,
175
and she continued to periodically hear that same music, especially around Christmas time.

188
One morning in 2008, a 27 -year -old woman named Mary Silva knelt down next
189
to her crying four -year -old son in their living room in a small village in Portugal.
190
He was throwing a tantrum for no clear reason, and across the room, Mary's other son, who was eight years old,
191
was jumping up and down on the couch and throwing toys everywhere
192
so mary in this moment is like completely overwhelmed her kids are out of control
193
and she looks through the doorway just kind of glances over through the doorway
194
and she sees her mother -in -law who obviously hears the kids crying
195
but her mother -in -law is just sitting at the dining
196
room table calmly eating her breakfast no care in the world
197
and it's like mary's thinking like what are you doing like why wouldn't you come help
198
Mary would have loved to go eat, but she can never get a moment to herself.
199
But for Mary, this was actually very typical.
200
This was a normal day for her.
201
Now, when she'd gotten married a decade ago, she had pictured a completely different life for herself.
202
She'd always been smart and ambitious, and at first, her husband had fully supported her goal of continuing her education.
203
But just a few months after their wedding, she'd gotten pregnant.
204
And around that same time, her husband had immigrated abroad for work, leaving Mary behind in Portugal to live with her mother -in -law,
205
who was really overbearing and frankly just didn't like Mary at all.
206
And so in short order, Mary had to abandon her dreams of going to school to take care of the kids, which she was happy to do.
207
But her mother -in -law was really no help, and all she ever did in some ways was just criticized Mary for not being able to keep her kids under control, even though they're just kids.
208
They're little.
209
They have tantrums.
210
It happens.
211
Now, over the last decade, Mary had developed some coping mechanisms to handle all this stress.
212
But lately, it had become almost too much to handle.
213
She was having trouble sleeping.
214
She was losing weight.
215
And recently, she'd been having really intense stomach pain and bouts of nausea that she was sure were connected to her stress.
216
And so she'd kind of reached a breaking point.
217
She knew something in her life needed to change.
218
But she was just too exhausted to even begin to see a way out of this.
219
Now, Mary's four -year -old son, who was currently down on the floor kicking and screaming, he reached up and he grabbed Mary's hair and he started yanking on it,
220
which was really painful.
221
And so Mary's like telling him, like, please let go, like calm down.
222
The eight -year -old's going crazy still.
223
And then all of a sudden, Mary hears her mother -in -law shout from the dining room as she's still eating, like, please get your kids to shut up.
224
And Mary's like yelling back at her, I'm trying, as she's having her hair pulled out of her head.
225
And then just as Mary is about to pull her own hair out,
226
she felt this really sudden sharp pain in her stomach that was way worse than any stomach pain she had had before.
227
And then this really intense wave of nausea overtook her
228
and she keeled over and she threw up right on the floor
229
and at that moment i mean
230
if mary had thought she'd reached a breaking point before she
231
was wrong this was it this was her low point she knew
232
that her current living situation was like killing her basically
233
and she couldn't keep ignoring these symptoms like she's having these crazy pains in her stomach
234
and nausea she needed help a few hours later in a
235
hospital in the nearby city of averro mary lay on an exam table while a doctor pressed on her abdomen Mary, by this point, had explained her symptoms and all the stress she was under,
236
and the doctor had told her it might be an ulcer or stress -induced gastritis, which were both quite serious but treatable.
237
So right now, as Mary laid there, she was actually feeling cautiously optimistic and glad that she had ultimately come to the emergency room.
238
But as the doctor moved his fingers up and down her stomach, he suddenly stopped and he frowned and kept feeling around one specific spot in her abdomen.
239
Mary noticed and she sort of lifted her head up and asked if something was wrong.
240
And the doctor said he actually felt a hard mass in her upper stomach.
241
Suddenly, all the anxiety Mary had been feeling earlier came back stronger than ever, and her mind started racing through all the worst -case scenarios.
242
And so she frantically began asking the doctor what was the mass?
243
Like, was it cancer?
244
Was she gonna die?
245
But the doctor said he had no idea what it was.
246
And really, there was only one way to find out.
247
A few hours later, that same doctor threaded a tube with a tiny camera attached to it down Mary's throat while she lay there unconscious.
248
And as the doctor did this, a bunch of nurses stood by and watched a monitor as the camera descended deeper and deeper into Mary's digestive tract.
249
Basically, the camera was projecting onto this monitor in real time.
250
Earlier, the doctor had ordered a CT scan of Mary's abdomen and it had revealed this mass.
251
It It was like a long, oval -shaped lump about the size of a fist, and it was pressing up against the walls of her stomach.
252
It had areas of different density, which meant that it was a solid tumor, but the doctor really had no idea what kind of tumor it was.
253
So now he was doing an endoscopy to get a better look.
254
He was going to go look at it with a camera.
255
And so now, as the doctor finagled the tube and the camera deeper into Mary, he also was watching the monitor really closely.
256
And when the camera reached Mary's stomach, on the monitor, he and the nurses saw this dark mass covered in mucus.
257
And it was like nothing he or any of the nurses had ever seen before.
258
And for a few seconds, he and the nurses had no idea what it was.
259
But the doctor continued to move the camera around to get a better look at this weird mass, and eventually they figured out what it was.
260
And when they did, the doctor snapped to attention and told the nurses to get Mary scheduled for surgery immediately.
261
It would turn out Mary's symptoms, the mass, the pain, the nausea, all of it, it was related to her stress.
262
But what they found was not an ulcer, nor was it gastritis.
263
It was a trichobizor, which is the medical term for a hairball.
264
Mary had a psychiatric condition called trichophagia, which causes people to pull out and eat their own hair as a way to cope with stress.
265
Once the medical team figured out that's what they were dealing with, they surgically removed the trichobizor, the hairball, from Mary's stomach,
266
and she was given medication and counseling to help with her anxiety.
267
And after a month of treatment, she felt a lot better physically and mentally.
268
She felt ready to sort of take back her life.
269
So she promptly left her mother -in -law behind.
270
She moved out and she took her two boys.
271
They moved abroad and they reunited with their father and her husband.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
