Grandma Heidi's Little Children

Four very different and very interesting tales this week! Dan kicks us off with a story  somewhere in west Texas that centers around some Black Eyed Children. MAYBE. If not BEK, than what? Then, a second story that is set in two different locations in South Carolina, that both claim to be haunted, and both share the same name: The Rose Hill Plantation.  Lynze has two very unique tales this week. Her first explores vulture culture briefly and lost time and space amongst friends. What kind of chaos can you expect when exploring dead carcasses? Wrapping it up, the last tale is of astral projection. Such a heady concept that both Dan and Lynze have musings on. Bad Magic Patreon Donation:It’s back to school for those of us with kids and with that came the inspiration for this months charity.

What's Down There?

Thanks to our fans who listen on iHeart! We are so grateful for the extra love from them! Dan kicks off this weeks show with a doozy! Neither are normal when it comes to subject matter. No ghosts today. No demons. No shadow people or even cryptids. Both have an extraterrestrial spin to them. The first deals with a woman in the late 1960s encountering something horrifying and seemingly not of this world. It’s a very strange story. Then, a series of encounters with UFOS, and possibly extraterrestrial beings as well, spotted around Russia, primarily back in 1989 when it was still the USSR. Lynze gives us a creepy but also funny tale about a haunted item brought home from GoodWill. Then she shares a story that we suspect ties to Native American Folklore. Street Team 2024: September 16th at 12 noon PT is when the stickers go live on our website- BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COM.

Dan's  first story  revolves around a Realtor trying and failing to sell a property that seems to clearly have something supernaturally wrong with it.  Then is off to Eastern Canada, between Montreal and Toronto.

It's Time to Wake Up

Dan starts with an alleged anonymous modern encounter involving a man hearing a girl’s voice as a child - a voice asking him to wake up, and a voice that keeps asking this for many, many years - well into adulthood. And then finally, something very strange happens that leaves him feeling certain that this voice did not just belong. Then, a tale that is about the mysterious and troubling disappearance of a young man who disappeared in the Idaho wilderness, not far from where Dan grew up, back in 2018.  Lynze takes us back to our childhoods with a creepy game of hide and seek. Then she wraps up this episode with an unexplainable story from an EMT. Patreon Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the Army of Survivors who’s mission is to bring awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes at all levels. Accountability for perpetrators and the institutions that enable them; Transparency so athletes do not fear retaliation when reporting abuse, and institutions do not cover it up.  Nearly 6 million children and young adults in the United States are survivors of sexual violence through their participation in sports. This translates to nearly 13% of all student-athletes — and likely many more than that — as we know this crime is consistently underreported. The culture of sports today often makes athletes feel like they have to say yes to whatever they are asked to do because otherwise their career, their love of their sport, or their identity within that sport, could be threatened. We empower athletes with compassion, strength, and courage to embrace the fundamental truth that they have a right to safety. We will donate 13,760 to The Army of Survivors. We will put 1,530 into the scholarship fund for next year.

The Stairwell

Dan's first tale he is telling is about an anonymous woman allegedly encountering something terrifying in a stairwell. Then, in his second storey,  we learn about an allegedly cursed painting, The Crying Boy, produced by Italian artist Giovanni Bragolin. This painting was mass produced, and an alarming number of homes where prints of this painting have been displayed have burned down over the years. Yet the print itself almost never burns with them. Coincidence? Let's dig in. Lynze has some awesome fan submitted horror this week! The first is a classic road trip story that has a young couple spending the night in a creepy motel. Then, to finish out the episode, Lynze has a story about a little kids nightmares coming to haunt his whole family. Cummins Family Scholarship: We want to give a MASSIVE shoutout to this years scholarship recipients!

Who Are You?

Dan has one really big tale that is beyond captivating and unsettling. It's hard to say more without ruining the story. Then, Lynze brings us three stories this week. Her first is a about a possible encounter with a BEK, kind of. Less of a child and more of an adult. Maybe. Then, did a young boy see the infamous Hat Man or was it someone else? Lastly, fearing things that come out from under our bed is a classic horror trope. But what if you DID see something under your bed??!!BOOK #5: We are doing a limited run of 1,500 books this year!

Mystery On The Tundra

Dan crushes this week with one giant tale out of Alaska and a smaller tale from Spain! His first story will take you on a road trip to the northern tip of Alaska, up in the Arctic Circle where life is hard, sparse, and maybe more diverse than we currently know of with certainty? Did some young friends run across a murderous monster of some sort? Then to Spain we go! Is the House of Seven Chimneys in Madrid Spain haunted by the ghosts of two people connected to a possible early and unsolved murder involving the Spanish King? Next up, Lynze has some awesome stories too! First up, we explore some Mexican Folklore. Can you guess the folklore before it's revealed? Then, in her last story, a feeling we all know all too well.

A Night In Room 636

Dan shares two stories. The first one is a big one. We’ll visit the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. Did an infamous murder committed there in 1965 lead to the hotel gaining a reputation for being particularly haunted?  The history at the top of this tale is awesome!  Then, we’ll travel across the pond to Leeds, England and look into a claim that either a monster or someone who was just monstrous moved into a row house right after its tenants moved out in the 1940s, and began harassing the neighbors. Lynze also gives us two tales from opposite sides of the world. Her first story is about a  seance gone wrong. But let's be honest: when do they ever go "right"? Then, a very freaky and bizarre tale of a possible alien encounter in Australia! Hang with us this week for a slower paced show. Dan is sick and was battling through to make sure we don't miss a show! Crazy, 255 shows and never missed an episode!

The Backrooms

Dan has one big tale for us this week. A story based in fictional internet horror lore, but the person who posted it CLAIMS that this lore has come to life somehow. The strange liminal world of the Backrooms. We’ve talked about the concept of the multiverse and/or parallel dimensions several times. Could the creepy world of the Backrooms be next to ours? Can you end up there? Can you end up stuck there? Then Lynze has two spoopy tales that are a bit more heady. Her first will ask you to examine if you believe that the supernatural could save you from the horrors of this world. Then, three police officers have a shared experience that none of them can explain. Was it supernatural? Men in black? You decide. Patreon Monthly Donation: Stay tuned for the July donation! Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Please keep doing so!!Send them to [email protected] everything else to [email protected] to be a Patron?

The Butcher of Trenton

Dan comes with his usual two stories this week. One bigger one, and then a little one. We’ve done a fair amount of haunted asylum stories here over the years, but few with as detailed of a backstory as today’s. We will start by learning about Henry Cotton - a truly mad doctor who worked at the New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton, now The Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. The we will explore if his ghost  now haunts the abandoned portions of this facility. Then, Dan dives into the creepy legend of a supposedly cursed doll named, Joliet. Has this doll been killing newborn babies for decades? Is this a family of Donna's? Let's find out. Then, Lynze has two really intense stories as well and she offers a warning at the top of the show for all parents- these are going to tug at your heartstrings. In her first story, she will share a story about a young child who drowns and nearly doesn't come back. But when she does, does she bring something, or someone, with her? Wrapping up the show, she has a story about a group of friends who go camping but come back minus a friend who seems to have simply vanished. Patreon Monthly Donation: This month’s charity is the Committee to Protect Journalists AKA CPJ.

It Came For Him

Dan's first story is a modern encounter story that fits into the Rules of Appalachia Lore. There are a bunch of stories that floated around on TikTok and Reddit the last few years regarding what kinds of strange creatures might be in the woods of Appalachia. His  second has to do with aa Baltimore, Maryland legend. Today’s story  it that of a teenage girl who met some sort of tragic end, and whose ghost now seems to be seeking revenge on the living. Lynze has two truly epic tales this week. Her first one will take you on a rollercoaster ride like no other. A haunted house that drives a family mad, in particular one person, who never returns to the safety of our world. Story two will make all of your doll fears come to life! Patreon Monthly Donation: This month we have landed on an animal non-profit! We love to spread the support around!

The Face Of Grief (Black Aggie)

Dan's first story  first revolves around Black Aggie - the name of a statue that sat for years in a Maryland cemetery and attracted a number of paranormal claims, many of which were featured in various articles in the Baltimore press. Then we explore some Cherokee Folklore. The story of the Yunwi Tsunsdi  aka…. the “Little People.” Most of the stories come from the area of Hickory Nut Gorge, North Carolina. A haunted house trifecta from Lynze this week is sure to please! Her first two tales are quick classic with the children of the home knowing that it's haunted but the parents brushing it off... until they too find confirmation.

He Was Real

Dan has two excellent scares this week. The first comes from friend of one of our staff. It is CREEPY. What starts off looking like a bad case of sleep paralysis  or nightmares ends up  being a very real case of an encounter with a pair of disturbing entities. Then we have a ghost story from the American Civil War era. Despite taking place over 150 years ago, it was well documented by some local newspapers. It’s a very odd story that is sad and scary. Lynze has three stories this week! She shares a tale about a possible sighting of spear finger on a dark road. Then, she shares with us one of those bizarre stories about time and space not being quite right. Lastly, a military story that left some servicemen beyond scared. Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, on April 23rd, we celebrate World Book Day!

Terror In The Stairwell

Dan kicks off the show with a real head scratcher. Was a man take by aliens of was he just a man who drank himself into mental illness and then left his family? You be the judge. We go to Cleveland, Ohio for a fun history lesson and then many small stories of the spirits that may still live in Franklin Castle. Then Lynze gives us a different kind of tale that explores Celtic folklore. A young couple is out enjoying a winter hike when they encounter a woman who is just not quite right. Was it a fae? Lastly, we all know imaginary friends can be the makings of a child's mind. But what if they are something more? Summer Camp 2025: The time has come!!!

Roadkill

The first story this week is about a long haul trucker who had quite the night out on the road alone in the middle of heavily forested area on the East Coast. He saw something, a couple somethings, maybe. The creepiness lingers on this one. The the second story is set in the little unincorporated community of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, located just outside of Terre Haute. A small Roman Catholic liberal arts college, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods is supposedly haunted by the spirit of a faceless nun. The back half of the show features two tales. The first is about the hat man but not how we are used to seeing him and not acting as he normally does. Is it possible that the hat man can find us in our waking hour and be of help to us? Then, a final story about a cryptid we  met back in  an episode in the first year of the show by the same name, the rake. This fan encounter will leave you feeling twitchy. Summer Camp 2025: The time has come!!!

Thank You For Visiting

Dan has two fantastic stories this week. The first is about a bunch of sporadic reports to police and media, beginning in the early 1990s, about people claiming to be social workers and attempting to abduct children from their parents. This topic might not SEEM paranormal, but just wait for it. The second tale is set in small town America, posted by someone who has chosen to remain anonymous and it revolves around a haunted laundromat. Lynze Dazzles us with two awesome fan submitted horror stories. The first takes us camping in Florida. What starts as a fun boys weekend in the woods ends with a lifetime fear of being out there. Then,  we explore and wonder if being open to spirits in one location of your life makes you susceptible to them in other parts of your life. Summer Camp 2025: The time has come!!!

Lake Labynkyr Devil

Dan kicks off the show with a strange tale from Russia. A water dwelling, creepy creature that no one seems to know what it is. We join him at Lake Labynkyr. Is it just folklore? Or are some kind of leftover dinosaurs or something else living in this lake? Real-life sea serpents? Then, we go back to Wildwood, Missouri’s Zombie Road. While we once shared stories from Zombie Road several years ago - today’s encounters are all new. Or at least, new for us to share. Lynze has a Peeper friendly tale that is rather interesting and then wraps up February with a tale in Michigan about loosing time in the wilderness.    Scholarship: Round two of The Cummins Family Scholarship Fund, presented by Bad Magic is here!

Then Lynze has three tales this week! Her first involves a creepy visitor to an Air BnB in the middle of nowhere. Next up, an unexplained encounter with who-knows-what during a very private moment.

After that, we head  to Ohio, to the little town of Bellaire, Ohio, where the supposedly very haunted Bellaire House stands. Did a mining disaster and more lead to the home today being possibly infested with numerous entities? Then Lynze has two tales, per usual.

Dan has two tales that have an unintentional North America indigenous peoples theme for today’s show.

The Girl In The Painting

Dan's  first tale takes us to Riverside, California at Mount Rubidoux and the  Shadow people there!  After that, we go to Ireland. Dan will share the haunted history of Loftus Hall, supposedly one of Ireland’s most haunted places. Then, Lynze has two fun stories for you! Both stories center around haunted objects or perhaps the idea of something from the other side reaching out to us through an object. Which is it? You tell us! Patreon Monthly Donation: We will report in about this later this month!Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Please keep doing so.Send them to [email protected] everything else to [email protected] to be a Patron?

Still Trapped

Happy end of 2023! You made it! We'd love it if you stuck around until the end of the show to hear some insight into Bad Magic and what we do here!  Dan has his two awesome stories, the first comes from northern Nevada. We’ll visit the former mining boom town of Gold Hill and learn about all the haunted lore that surrounds its old Yellow Jacket mine. Then, we’ll head to Georgia for the heavily documented 19th century haunting known as the Surrency Poltergeist. One of the most verified hauntings in American history. Lynze has three creepy stories to end the year. Her first asks us to look at the Norse gods as a possible character that might show up in your life. Then she takes us on a journey with a truck driver and an entity that has been with him all over the country. Lastly, she shares an especially creepy tale about a haunted hotel room! SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY.

The Burned Woman

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan shares two awesome tales this week. The first is set just outside the little Eastern Oregon city of La Grande. We'll learn about the allegedly haunted Hot Lake Springs Hotel and a unique modern encounter tale from a journal left for guests to write about their stay. And then, we'll learn what the wonderful actress and author Carrie Fisher had to say about the paranormal before she passed away too soon in 2016. Lynze has two incredible stories! Her first explores a family history of a possible curse and then the modern haunted house encounters of some people unrelated to the family. In her last story, get the Kleenex, this one will get you in the feels. A great story of poltergeist activity that leads a mom to some valuable information about her kid.Patreon Monthly Donation: As is our tradition here at Bad Magic, Dan and I are hosting the Bad Magic Giving Tree.

The Screaming Specter

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan has three stories this week! His first story takes us to the UK for the story of Anne Naylor, her said demise and subsequent haunting.  Then a strange story of bizarre goop falling from the sky in Oakville, Washington. Lastly, a good old haunted house story with ouija boards and curses and ghosts!  Lynze takes this week to show us a different side of hauntings by exploring the energy left behind from our loved ones. Nothing to scary but the stories are sweet and once again, lend credibility to the overall ideas explored here. Patreon Monthly Donation: In November, we have decided to donate to The Blue Skies Foundation. The Brotallion Blue Skies Foundation is a veteran-founded non-profit dedicated to providing post-mishap support for the Army Aviation community and their families.

The Black Angel

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan has a mysterious disappearance and an urban legend that some think is a lot more than just a legend. His first tale focuses on the strange circumstances surrounding the disappearance of a young man in Colorado back in 2008. The second story will bring us to a cemetery in Iowa where an angelic statue has gained a reputation for not being very…. angelic. Is the Black Angel of Iowa City, Iowa's Oakland Cemetery cursed? Lynze has two great stories this week as well! She will kick it off with a bizarre and hard-to-explain story about a hot tub and a cell phone- we will leave it at that. And her second story is a banger with haunted house vibes, doppelgangers, and a jinn!  Patreon Monthly Donation: In November, we always choose a Veteran/Military non-profit in honor of Veteran's Day. This year, we have decided to donate to The Blue Skies Foundation. The Brotallion Blue Skies Foundation is a veteran-founded non-profit dedicated to providing post-mishap support for the Army Aviation community and their families.

Could roughly 10,000 people have all seen the same UFOs at a football match? Lynze has some animal themed tales this week, which is kind of funny but not really. Her first story features a bunny, which is known to be a symbol of the underworld. What was this particular bunny up to? And then, her worst nightmare, frogs!

Ghost Bus

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The top of the episode story involves lore surrounding the old Athens Asylum, once found in Athens, Ohio. The asylum was absorbed by Ohio University after it closed down, and some wonder if the spirits that allegedly once haunted the asylum now haunt the campus. Then a shorter story  set in Barbados. We’ll explore the mystery of the old Chase Vault. Did a bunch of coffins move around on their own, not once but several times, in the early 19th century? The back half of the show provides some head scratchers! The first tale would seem to be about an entity that continually shows up in a young mans that he thinks he has a connection to  but then, at the end, we learn an additional detail that makes him wonder otherwise. The final tale has Dan and Lynze questioning multi-verse. Was there a glitch in the matrix one late night, last fall?

The Ghost Of Goody Cole

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The first story this week involves a woman who spent her life in New Hampshire centuries ago being mistreated for being a supposed witch! Does her angry spirit now behave in ways similar to how people worried she acted like in life? Did the torment she received create the monster her former neighbors worried about? Then what do you do if your child is regularly seeing ghosts in your home? Ghosts you can’t see, but you do find proof that what she’s saying sure does not seem made up. Three more tales on the back half of this episode. A seemingly normal stop for a bite to eat at a diner turns into a  less than normal evening for one man.

The mission of Sustainable Alamance is to focus on and help individuals who were formerly incarcerated gain and sustain employment  so that they may not only live within the community constructs but to also contribute to society as well. Reading about the steps that are required for formerly incarcerated people to even begin to build their life again was an eye opener and I say this as someone who has a family member who is a felon.

The Girl On The Second Floor

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's tales today takes us to  Arkansas, to the grounds of a former treatment facility for tuberculosis, a disease that ran rampant in the US for decades. We’ve learned that hospitals and asylums are hot beds for paranormal activity, and this Sanatorium is no different. And then, we head to Scotland and visit a haunted castle! Castle Fraser is reportedly haunted by numerous spirits. We share some history, a bit of lore, and two modern encounter claims. Lynze has two wonderfully spoopy tales this week. Her first tale about a small town where people going missing will have you wishing everyone there would GTFO. Then, she has a story about a possible alien abduction. It's weird story! SHOW DAN SOME LOVE!

A Cemetary Seance

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan kicks off with the story of a young woman around a century ago in a mining town who reaches out to the other side to try and communicate with her dead father and brother. And she contacts SOMETHING. Then, a latchkey kid encounters a special kind of terror that makes spending time alone at home even harder than it already is for a young child. Lynze has two awesome stories this week. The first could be considered a reminder about being wary of what you buy second hand. Then the second story is a bit less creepy but still a great story about an abandoned brothel. New Merch:  Hitting the Bad Magic store is the SEVERED collection featuring gory prosthetics! Hyper realistic, bloody severed human parts in magnet and keychain form. Special shoutout to the beautiful custom work by visual effects artist and fan of the show - the badass Tony Campanga at Spellbound FX.

A Dark Rebirth

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. We’ll cover a bunch of paranormal Gamecock lore… aka lore from The University of South Carolina. We’ve also added an alleged modern paranormal encounter said to have taken place in the university’s Longstreet Theatre. Then we meet a traveling nurse who claims to have been terrorized by a strange, seemingly sentient entity in his short term rental in Colton, California, just outside of Riverside. How dangerous can some black mold be? A story that will make you scratch your head is next. How can two women who have nothing in common except for dating the same man, 4 years apart, experience the exact some paranormal entity in said man's parents home? Lastly, a ghost on a mission to save her still living family-  a sweet tale to wrap it up! SHOW DAN SOME LOVE!

The Teeth In The Walls

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has his  normal two stories again. And there’s a theme with them both -faith seemingly conquering evil. The first story is set in the present day - centered around a woman living alone in North Carolina in what she’d hoped was going to be her dream home. And then a real bad former resident tries to turn her dream into a nightmare. Next, we travel over a hundred years back in time and head to southern India. A prominent family is terrorized by an entity that likes to play with fire. Literally. Lynze has three stories this week. A story about a possibly haunted gravesite, a strange tale that might make you wonder if it was a ghost or a prank and then the creepiest little story about what kids can see that we cannot.  New Merch:  We're excited to bring back an old favorite The 2023 Bad Magic Street Team!  The stickers will be available on Wednesday, August 2nd, Noon PST.  We'll have 500 packs of 10 available to ship out. The sticker packs are free -  you only pay for shipping. Since these are free, please limit your purchase to 1 pack so more of you can get in on the fun. Stick ‘em all over the place. Wherever you feel comfortable sticking ‘em. On your forehead. Your neighbor’s forehead. That cool spot in the record shop bathroom where every one puts stickers. I remember in past years, finding them on hiking trails, ski lifts, rest stop stalls, all over the place. It was so fun. Post your pics - get creative - on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTik - little videos/static images, whatever - and hashtag with #BadMagicStreetTeam . Thank you so much for helping us get the word out about our shows. The contest will last until October 2nd at Noon PT. We will look up posts based on the hashtag - #BadMagicStreetTeam - and the winner will get a $200 badmagicmerch.com store credit.  Bad Magic SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Mark your calendar - Sunday, August 27th, 4PM  is the debut of Dan's newest standup special, “Trying to Get Better”, recorded back in Minneapolis this past December.  Releasing, as is the current trends for most comics right now, for free on Youtube.

We Hear Them At Night

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has a very long story followed by a very short one. The long story revolves around a social worker growing suspicious that something is really, really not right at the home of one of her clients. And when she checks on the kids, that suspicion is really, REALLY confirmed. Next some lore and a modern paranormal encounter out in the woods of Connecticut on the supposedly haunted, and abandoned, Downs Road. Lynze has three tales to share this week. Her first one is about some unwanted but possibly harmless visitors. Her second story has Dan and Lynze pondering the intersection of  mental health and the paranormal. Lastly, a quick story about a possible energy vampire! New Merch:   Head to badmagicmerch.com  right now to get your hands on Volume of Scared To Death! Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: For the month of July, we decided to use the monthly donation to support The Hill Country Humane Society. Located in rural Texas, they serve a population of people who can hardly afford healthcare for themselves. The shelters are beyond capacity and Texas ranks high (top 1 or 2, depends on where you look for the stats) in the nation for euthanizing animals. The secretary of this foundation reached out to months ago, explaining that one of the best ways the Hill Country Human society could help slow the overpopulation of animals in the shelter is to spay and neuter pets. But being that they serve a low income area, that is often out of the question for owners. With this donation, we are hoping to ease the burden of pet owners in this area, as this organization is in the middle of building a mobile spay/neuter clinic.

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan and Lynze  have a BIG episode for you today for the 200th episode! Happy Independence Day! Hope our American listeners get to celebrate the 4th of July! Dan will be telling three stories today - Lynze will have another two - you can play a drinking game along to this one if you want. We’ll chat a little at the end like we do on our Patreon bonus episodes - have a little cake and reflect on the Scared to Death journey. Dan's first of three will be about The Doll of Shadows from the Warren’s Occult Museum. Doll lore and supposed encounter story with this creepy, creepy doll. Then a quick one about the Blood Town Forest, aka the Blood Forest, a patch of haunted woods just outside of the little town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Some locals looked into the legends and ended up scaring the Hell out of themselves. Lastly, we’ll look into another story associated with Ed and Lorraine Warren - Southern California’s Moffitt Family haunting. Possible demonic activity surrounding the Moffitt Family where many people seemed to have witnessed a lot of hard to rationally explain occurrences.  Then Lynze will share her usual two tales. Her first is about a haunted house with a dark, true crime connection.

The Tunnels of Sand Hill Road

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan shares a scary and sad tale about the Sand Hill Road. The tunnels that run under Las Vegas are full of real, living people who are homeless but what if they are not only battling a hard life? What if there is something else down there with them? Then we visit  with the Warren's again.  A bizarre poltergeist tale in the 70's in Connecticut. Lynze has her usual two stories for you this week. Randomly themed with back to back tales about little kids, who are both creepy in real life and in the afterlife. 200th Episode Next Week!  Quick note that NEXT week is our 200th episode. Whoo hooo!! Thanks for sticking around for 200 straight weeks of Scared to Death. Coming up on our 4 year anniversary. Just like for the 100th episode, we’ll turn the show into a little drinking game if you want to play.  The episode will also feature an extra story from me, and some extra banter at the end, similar to our bonus episodes, talking about the fun ride this has truly been. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: Over the years, we have tried to donate back to our local community here in Coeur D Alene.

The Black Flash

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan will finally have another one from Lynze's least favorite category of stories that we tell here… a claim of UFO sightings and alien abduction. The first story is full of claims of a young family from in the 90s, coming in from a small city in Eastern Australia.Then we examine the story of the Black Flash. Did a shadowy, but seemingly physically very real creature terrorize the residents of a quaint little Cape Cod, Massachussetts summer town? Lynze dazzles us with three spoopy tales. An imaginary friend who might be a friend or might be something else. That is followed up with a strange situation with a woman calling for a man. But who is she and why is she calling out? The final story will probably give you a good chuckle and little chill. New Merch:  Darren's Plumbing at 1800 - STD - GTFO. We'll make them Get The Fuck Out. Brand new Darren's Plumbing tee and long sleeve now available in the bad magic merch store. A cool illustration of Darren's Plumbing van parked outside a home clearly haunted by demons.

You See Him Too

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. For the first strory, we visit LA’s Cecil Hotel.  It has been home to a LOT of murders, suicides, accidental deaths, and paranormal mysteries over the years. And at least two serial killers have called it home WHILE they were killing. An anonymous ghost hunter and true crime junkie decided to stay there herself and got the scares of a lifetime. For Dan's next story, we’ll explore three separate locations all around Oregon’s Nehalem Bay, another haunted hotel, an urban legend, and some cursed treasure.  Lynze has two kind of lighter tales but still carry their own level of supernatural elements. In the first story, several generations share an encounter with the same male spirit in the same house. Then, a tale about the best kind of ghostly encounter you could ever hope for. New Merch:  The classic moth design, now in color form, in the Bad Magic store this week!

The Sunway's Revenge

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is mostly set in a hotel located somewhere we aren't sure. Whoever posted this tale never gave an exact location and there are several hotels around the country that have had the name “Sunway Hotel.” It’s a nice twist on the creepy haunted hotel story.  The next story is about a mythical creature from Mayan mythology - the Alux, a creepy little creature some people still believe in - like the current President of Mexico. Lynze has three stories, each on the shorter side, which makes them pack a fast paced punch. Her first tale explores ghosts in the graveyard, then she guides us to a hostel for a spoopy tale and then she rounds out the episode with a strange story that is hard to explain without giving it away!New Merch:  A killer new Wendigo design now available in store. A super cool illustration featuring a pretty grotesque Wendigo-inspired creature, trapped in some sort of glowing magic spell. New collection features a tee, wall canvas, and Vintage inspired tank top with an acid wash print.

The Spirit of Letchworth Village

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. We are heading to an abandoned and allegedly haunted asylum in New York state - Letchworth Village. Some history first, mentions of the types of sightings claimed to have occurred there, and then a super creepy modern encounter claim. Next, we’ll explore some near death experience cases. Not everyone claims to see a white light when they die… some people have claimed to have literally gone to Hell and been given a little taste of what some believe awaits much of humanity in an afterlife. Then to Vermont for two tales from different locations: Brattleboro Retreat and Hamilton Falls. Closing out the episode with a hat man story that might leave you wondering if we have been wrong about the hat man all along.  New Merch:  Very cool new 'Planchette' design now available. A simple 2 color design featuring a bejeweled skull planchette and our classic S2D logo and book of ghosts icon. You can choose between a tee and baseball tee.

The Quiz

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Kicking it off with a great story, Dan shares something  NOT found from some online post. Or from any articles. This tale is based on some supposedly true stories. Sophie Evans found all this. She was clearly on the same page as I was last week, when it came to worrying about how modern technology and paranormal horror can collide today. His second story is a little one. Just a peek into the rumors that India’s Bhangarh Fort is not just haunted, but curse. We’ll look at two origin stories for the curse, and at a few claims of paranormal encounters. Lynze shares story of a family haunting turned attachment that started in New York and has traveled to North Carolina. Her last tale about a possible skinwalker had Dan in stitches. Not the usual aim here but that's how it shook out!New Merch:  For merch this week, a terrifying depiction of a poor soul's face burning alive. It's hard to imaging a more terrifying death that being literally scorched. The new 'Flaming Face' mini collection includes a tee, coffee mug, and wall canvas. This one truly looks gross but in the best of ways. Melting eye sockets, flaming bubbling skin... clearly this person is going through it.

The Monster In The Machine

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is really intense. It deals with a woman being tormented in a way not quite like what we’ve covered here before. A slightly new method of mental torture. While that first story is an alleged modern encounter, Dan's second story is an old one. It begins in the 17th century. Did the Devil use her to write a strange, mysterious, cryptic letter that was only finally decoded a little over five years ago?  Lynze will share just one tale about a  haunted family heirloom.  New Merch: We also just dropped a bunch of fun new stickers! We made the werewolf drunk design a holographic sticker. Also have bleeding eyes, the buzz 103 bumper sticker, and tons of new Timesuck designs as well. Check out the sticker bin at  badmagicmerch.com Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: On both Scared To Death and Timesuck, we talk about a lot of death in a variety of ways. And while we as a people have a fascination with murder mystery, at the end of the day, the deceased was someone’s son, wife, grandmother, uncle and so on. When a family looses a loved one in a cold case, the affects of it are painful in ways we can’t understand. The DNA Doe Project is a non profit with a simple humanitarian mission: to identify John and Jane Does using investigative genetic genealogy. We want help give some healing to those who has suffered such significant loss. Our donation amount is TBD right now as we are recording this in the early weeks of April.

Evil Unearthed

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. For Dan's first story, we go to the little mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, from 1892. Probably doesn’t sound too terrifying. But, just imagine dealing with the worst kinds of paranormal horror that we’ve talked about here many times in the sense of it happening in recent years, where you can go stay with relatives, or get a priest or shaman, etc., to perform some kind of blessing - but now you have no one to help you and nowhere to go. You’re just stuck - as in, snowed in a homestead cabin kind of stuck - with something evil. Then Dan shares some history and then a smattering of recent paranormal sightings from England’s very historic Colchester  Castle. Lynze will share two similarly themed tales this week about little ghost boys showing up for different people in different places! What does it mean when a little boy shows up? Anything New Merch:  This one is for all you creeps and peepers who just can't wait for Halloween. The ones who would elect to celebrate year round. The 'Is it Halloween Yet?' tee is now available. Three vintage style halloween masks, kinda look like the old generic plastic ones, in a classic faded black orange and green color scheme.  Available on vintage cream and  creamsicle orange tees.

Click Clack Slide

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan found the first story I’m telling today on the web - a story I was pointed to by Curtis Rioux, fan, friend, and incredibly talented professional animator. The urban legend of Click… Clack… Slide… I don’t want to spoil what that represents, but I’m guessing that many of our listeners have heard a version of this story - like Curtis - when they were kids. Can a monster be both a manufactured urban legend AND something you could truly encounter. That’s what we play around with in this story. Then, a man who was horrifying in real life continues to haunt people even after his death: John Wayne Gacy. Next, we dip back into true crime and go over a few locations reported to be haunted in the Chicago area, by the ghost of infamous serial killer, John Wayne Gacy.Lynze has two fantastic stories this week! Her first tale will make you think twice about the sounds of footsteps you hear on the stairs. Are they coming from someone or some thing? Then she presents a story with no explanation or resolution. A fan shares their tale of happening upon a room full of blood, but where did it come from?  New Merch:  Really fun tee this week. The "I'm so tired my eyes are bleeding" tee is available now for those of you who know obscure sayings.

A Door That Can't Be Closed

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first of two stories is based on around something we haven't really explored  before. Astral projection. If you could train your mind to actually be able to take your consciousness OUT of your body… leave it behind as a sort of empty vessel - could something else enter in its place? After that, off to Hawaii for a little bite-sized bit of horror. Some paranormal encounters alleged to have taken place at the Honolulu Police Department’s training academy. Lot of horror on those little islands it seems. Then Lynze poses a great question about the paranormal and psilocybin. Can you bring back something from a trip? Lastly, a piece of jewelry seems to be the source of some kind of attachment. New Merch:   We heard some of you wanted Hawaiian button up shirts so... we got em!  The first tee is a fun cryptid pattern featuring cute critters from Logan's mind. Looks like there's clam shaped spiders,  bats, vampires, two headed snakes and more! Comes on a really cool Hawaiian style button up collared shirt with a left breast pocket. We also have a really cool Western style cowboy button up, featuring classy flower skulls.  These are hand cut and sewn so please allow a couple extra weeks delivery on these.

The Dover Demon

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The first story this week is brutal. It deals with some real-life heavy topics of child and spousal abuse. A spirit that seems to feed off all of this torment and make it worse seems to be attacking a family. Then the  infamous legend of the Dover Demon.  Cryptid? Alien? Hoax? Did four teenagers really seem some sort of monster in a Massachusetts town just outside of Boston in the Spring of 1977? Then in the back half, Lynze shares a new "thing", a tulpa. She and Dan had never heard of it and the fan submission will make you wonder if the hat man himself is a tulpa. Then, a family tale of encountering some kind of shadowy figure and the remnants of what appears to be some sort of ritual while cleaning a home that is not their own.  New Merch:  As it turns out, you absolutely CAN Coors Light your way into seeing cryptids and monsters. We're being told by many of you that one can  in fact become... Werewolf Drunk.  Check out the cool new tee at badmagicmerch.com featuring a double exposure design of a howling drunk werewolf and the phrase "Let's Get Werewolf Drunk". Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: Not everyone has access to a bed and pillow and a good nights rest.

The Ruins

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first of two stories takes place  in sunny Costa Rica. A college student explores the supposedly very haunted The Ruins - the remnants of old and massive church - and claims to come face to face with its infamous ghost.  Then, for the next story, we head to Connecticut to go over the legend of Hanna Cranna aka The Wicked Witch of Monroe.  Lynze has two tales that are thematic around driving and lost time. Her first story features a possible skin walker sighting and her second story will make you think twice about pulling off the freeway to find a restroom in the middle of the night, by yourself.New Merch:  Brand new to the Bad Magic Merch store this week, a cool REDACTED tee & Zip up Hoodie. Cool retro typewriter style text design with large hand drawn Redaction marks. It's cool to imagine Scared to Death being redacted in some blacklist government paranormal or alien program as being a source of study or psyop.  Head to badmagicmerch.comBad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This months donation is for $14,740 to Teach For America, a diverse network of leaders who work to confront the injustice of education inequity through teaching.You can learn more about Teach for America or get involved by going to teachforamerica.org An additional $1,640 is being put into the scholarship fund!

A Spirit Without A Face

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's  first story comes from South Korea. He shares the legend of their “egg ghosts.” Sound harmless but it's definitely NOT harmless. Then he will share a smaller story that comes from Salem, Massachusetts - lore and a modern encounter centered around the reportedly haunted and very old for America House of Seven Gables. Lynze will tell us a tale about the possible sighting of a werewolf. What do you think about werewolves? Are they real? A final tale, a sweeter kind of story about a simple light being left on.  New Merch:  Introducing the Yesteryear collection. A really cool vintage text based design on premium tees and hoodies. We also saw in the facebook group that many of you were looking for office supplies, particularly mousepads. Well now we got em.

House Of Death

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first of two stories is a haunted house story set in Manhattan. A home with just about the scariest title you could have. The brownstone that sits at 14 West 10th Street is known to some as The House of Death. Supposedly a LOT of people have died there over the years, and now it’s one of the most haunted homes in America. Then it's the tale of Jackson County, Florida’s Bellamy Bridge. Has the ghost of a young bride been haunting this bridge since the mid-19th century? Lynze also takes us to Florida for a haunted hotel room with an especially strong and scary entity. Then, a sweet story? It's hard to say if a young woman's mom is reaching beyond the grave to guide and protect her daughter. That's up to you to decide! New Merch:  New tee in the store inspired by a story told in episode 168, THE SAN PEDRO HAUNTING, featuring 'The Old Man' from that story. So many new, cool things in store this year already.

The Murder In The Mirror

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has two collections of tales. The first story will focus primarily on one encounter tale. For that first story, we had to Canada, to the beautiful and reportedly very haunted Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, located in the incredibly scenic Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada. And then, we are off to York, England’s historic Treasurer’s House. Numerous spirits - including a lot of Roman Soldier apparitions - have been allegedly encountered in the historic residence built next the famous York Minster Gothic Cathedral. Lynze has a really big tale up top, about a family and their life long attachment with something evil and dark. For her final story, Lynze shares a short but disturbing UFO encounter. New Merch:  By this point we've all heard of him.Some of us, have seen him. Waking from the hazy fog of a deep slumber, you feel the thick air turn blisteringly cold…. Your heart aches as it pounds faster and faster, feeling the room seemingly collapse in on itself….You can't move. You can't hear. Fighting to break free from the paralyzing nightmare you bolt upright in a cold sweat only to see the thing you've been afraid of your entire childhood…The HAT MAN. New Hat Man Tee now available at badmagicmerch.com Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charity of choice is The Museum Of Tolerance. Per usual, we are recording in advance so I don’t have a total amount to give you at this very moment. The Museum of Tolerance (MOT) is the only museum of its kind in the world.

The Ghost of Emily Keseg

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is based in some true crime - the 1969 unsolved murder of 18-year-old college student Emily Keseg in Cicero, Illinois. Has her ghost haunted the campus of Morton College ever since? Then,  to the Santa Fe National Forest. What could explain a collection of sightings and strange disappearances around the three locations of the Holy Ghost Campground, El Camino del Diablo, and the Pecos Wilderness?  Is there a portal to some other dimension or world in this area? Lynze shares a very intense story about the legend of the Kunduz and then follows up with a lighter, but still spoopy tale from a haunted train ride! New Merch:  We have a bunch of bad ass Valentine’s Day cards over at BadMagicMerch.com  Each set contains 18 foldable valentines cards featuring 6 unique illustrations.

Some really INTENSE sightings at a place once known as Observation Post Rock. Lynze presents us with a new horror character we have yet to meet, the pichal peri.

And then we’ll explore the legend of the Basano vase! Did these supposedly cursed object bring death to one owner after another for two separate cycles of tragedy separated by centuries? Is it made up? Or does it lie underground again, waiting for a new owner to find it, and to start another cycle of terror? Lynze has two awesome stories this week, per usual! Her first tale explores an experience  amongst friends and an Ouija board. While we never truly know what we might be talking to on the other side this one feels like a very authentic encounter with a lost loved one. Or is it? Wrapping up the show is a haunted house, more specifically a basement, tale. Is a 6th sense something that can be passed from one generation to the next?

A Mother's Love

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is set in Portland, Oregon, centered around Portland’s underground “shanghai tunnels.” There are miles of tunnels underneath Portland that connect it to the Willamette River - once used to transport goods in and out of the city and to ocean going ships. These tunnels also, SUPPOSEDLY, were used for human trafficking. Sailors getting “Shanghai’d” - kidnapped and forced to work at sea. Women getting forced into prostitution and shipped around the world. Some think this stuff never actually happened in Portland, others think it was frequent. Let's see what is out there. Then for Dan's second tale, the Cherokee legend of The Raven Mocker - a strange, evil spirit and the most feared of the Cherokee witches.  Lynze has two stories for you this week! First off, a tale that is sad but also heartwarming. A mother may have made a call from the great beyond to save the life of her child. Then a shared haunting, a screaming nun and a dorm room that just doesn't feel quite right. SUMMER CAMP!!!! CAMP!!! Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer is a GO!

The Monkey's Paw

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan is  bringing back our annual Holiday Horror tradition.  For Victorian England, December was the spooky spooky season - not October - and this is where our Western tradition of telling ghost stories to scare one another comes from. Friends and family gathered around the fire after a nice holiday meal to hear some horror. And in honor of that tradition, for the fourth year in a row,  Dan shares the tale, The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs.  But first up, some horror from modern England.  A married couple bring their young son on a vacation to the countryside, where he finds some occult objects stashed away that lead to a terrifying evening and an early end to the vacation.  Lynze kicks off with a kind of sweet, kind of Christmas story. Then she tells us three quick hitter stories, all from the same person and all from the same frat house! New Merch:  Continue to support us and show off your favorite STDP gear!

The Key Of Solomon

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has a story about a couple teens who grab hold of an old book of occult summoning spells to start the show. They seemed to have opened a door that should’ve stayed closed. Then he shares with us  another story featuring some true crime basis. Convicted killer, Gary Mark Gilmore, was sent  to death row for a murder he never even tried to hid. Could it be because his mother brought something dark into her life, and then into her family’s life, before he was ever born? Lynze has her usual two tales. She begins with a life long attachment tale and then wraps out the show with a possessed teddy bear tale! New Merch:  Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and grab your holiday gifts! Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:the 2022 Bad Magic Giving Tree has come to a close.

A Haunting At Kaimuki House

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan jumps off the episode with a giant, weird tale. It's something new and fun to talk about in the world of “what if?” WHAT IF you were being “haunted”… not by a ghost, but by someone living in the same space as you, but living in a different time? Like a parallel dimension that someone also intersects with this dimension historical timeline wise. Someone living in the past, but also, living at the same time you live in. It’s a wild concept. The second story, much more traditionally scary, one of Hawaii’s most haunted homes. The Kaimuki House. Lynze has some fun horror for us this week too!! A Veteran's Home may have more than just the Veteran's living there but who?! Then the most insane, but oh-so-probably true story of one mans alien abduction. New Merch:  What if aliens visited us for the first thanksgiving in October 1621. And if they did, what if they never left? Head on over to check out the new "Alien Pilgrim" tee and poster. Loving the 3 red eyes, shining medallion, the classic pilgrim hat. Check it out at badmagicmerch.comBad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:And now, it’s time to announce our 4th annual Bad Magic Giving Tree! This is our chance to collectively give back to our own community! This is such a cool thing we get to do every year, it fills my heart with such joy! Like all of the previous years, we will be using the December Patreon donation to kick this off. We estimate that to be about $15k. If any fans would like to donate to the cause, as they have in years past, we are, again, only accepting Amazon gift cards, as that is the most effective way for us to shop. And just like the years past, Dan and I will be matching any and all donations y’all make up to $15K. If fully matched, we will have about $45K to work with. Every little bit helps, y’all. Just $5 or $10 adds up really quickly when we all chip in. If you can skip your weekly coffee to help out, I assure it, it really goes a long way. The average donation last year was about $50. If you would like to donate, go to amazon.com and purchase a gift card. When you fill out the box of whom to send this gift card to, simply enter the following email address: [email protected]. That’s the first part, the way you can help and give to your fellow creeps and peepers!The next part is for those of you who hav been asking how to be a recipient of the giving tree. This year, we are trying to really streamline the process. It’s going to be really straight forward. Starting Monday  November 21st at 12:00 noon PT, we will be accepting applications on our website, badmagicmerch.com. THIS WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY WAY TO SUBMIT YOUR FAMILY.We have come to the conclusion, that can we help about 50 families this year. We always receive far more requests than that and it’s a really awful process to pick names from a hat. It doesn’t allow people the chance to seek out help in a different capacity if they are not chosen. This year, the first 50 families to apply will receive help. The submission form will be live on our website until we have 50 families or until November 26th, whichever comes first. You can rest assured that if you filled out and submitted the application that you are getting help. No more waiting and wondering. Once 50 families have applied, the application will not allow anyone to fill it out.With this being a new system, we are asking you to be patient. We will receive your application and then reach out to you. We will be shopping and sending out gifts from December 1st thru December 12th. We look forward to bringing our community together once again, to love and support one another. Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd, his Symphony of Insanity standup tour will be back this fall.

Loretta was a firm believer in ghosts, precognitive dreams, and other paranormal phenomena. Then we’ll cover hauntings related to a former subject of Dan’s Timesuck podcast. Belle Gunness. Mrs. Hoingy Boingy Uff dah! Lynze has three chill inducing stories to tell today! She starts with her first two tales of haunted homes- they are similar and yet, very different. They both involve the spirit of a little girl. Both will give you moments of feeling rather spooped. Then she closes out the show with an overwhelming tale of a seance gone wrong!New Merch:  In the spirit of keeping the spooky vibes rolling through the holidays, we've got an amazing new postcard set in the store this week.

Then, a super creepy run in with an old hag, trying to lure in young children. New Merch:  Amazing new VHS lamps in the Bad Magic store this week. Check this out!

The second involves a trifecta of UFO sightings in Canada from 1967 that for many, are still the most concrete proof for UFOs that Canada has ever produced. Holy hell! Lynze's second story is a doozy! But first, she shares with us a slightly different tale where a fan submits a funny version of being a Darren. It's a gem of a story.

The Whistler

Dan has a story about a young boy named Cody and his imaginary “friend”  who is NOT friendly and not imaginary. Then a collection of paranormal sightings in Plainfield, Wisconsin, that all revolve around the ghosts of either murderer Ed Gein - his mother, or his victims. Lynze has the most terrifying tale of the week with the folklore of The Whistler. YIKES!  SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The setting for Dan's  first story is a Murder Mystery party. The premiss: since everyone is in costume, what if someone there is someone you don’t know. Someone… not alive.  In his second story Dan shares the short tale of man haunted by a few weeks of terrible nights from his childhood.

The Legend of Goatman's Bridge

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is about  one of the subjects that creeps people out the most and, like with the doll story last week, it’s something we haven’t talked about much recently: Dopplegangers.  A young man has been haunted by SOMETHING at his family’s Montana lake cabin for many years.

Going in the theme of being out in nature, she shares the story of a couple camping and being disturbed by some mysterious entity? creature? ghost? Finishing out the episode, she tells us the tale of a kind, sweet man who is also a skeptic who is then possessed and is skeptic no more. New Merch:  SO CUTE!!!

Right Ghost, Wrong Man

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan had two really fun haunted house types of tales this week. He kicks it off with a haunting at The Moana Surfrider hotel in Waikiki. It would appear that a death that took places many, many years prior has resulted in a female ghost hanging around. When a male visitor stays at the hotel, it would seem she thinks he is someone else. Mistaken identity gone wrong! Then in his second tale, we encounter a new set of Darren's in the Lee Family Haunting. Lynze also has her usual two tales. A clown haunting that spans from childhood to adulthood and possible demonic attachment, but not how you'd think! New Merch:  Amazing new Tall Man collection in the store now! Ready for you to wear to those cool fall night camp fires! badmagicmerch.com. Also! Labor Day Sale starting 9/2 at noon PST and ending 9/5 at midnight PST.

The Elevator Game

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's  first story is about South Korea’s The Elevator Game. Is this nothing more than an urban legend? Or could this modern encounter story I’ll be sharing possibly be true? Could performing this elevator-based ritual somehow allow you to enter what sounds like Hell? The next story  is the legend of The Curse of Ca’Dario. A Venetian mansion, built in the late 15th century, that might actually be cursed or at least extremely haunted.  Lynze will explore predictive dreams, a concept that seems to rarely come up on STDP, in her first story.  It's hard to know when dreams are telling us the future or predicting or are just coincidental. The final story of this week is a creepy cabin tale. A man takes some time away from his life to find himself but does he find so much more than he bargained for? New Merch:  A new GTFO doormat requested by a handful of you actually. This is one we'll definitely want pictures of soplease be the weird person that no one wants to talk to, and grab yourself a new STDP doormat at badmagicmerch.com and then post a pic and tag @scaredtodeathpodcast on IG and FB.Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charity donation is going to Camp Easton, a boy scouts camp here in CDA.

The Boo Hag

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan kicks off this episode of Scared To Death with the lore of the Boo Hag or the Old Hag Syndrome. Is this a terrifying experince that can be explained away by sleep paralysis or is it more sinister than that? Then we are headed to the border for a collection of short stories about various encounters with spirits and sightings.  Lynze finishes up the show with a tale of one woman's connection to the other side as it pertains to her co-habitants at the nursing home she resides in. She also has a tale about dreams and what may come to us in our dreams- is it real or is it a shared experience or is it just a dream?New Merch: Amazing new merch in the bad magic store this week.

The Hamburger Man

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The first of Dan's stories is a very strange urban legend that someone posting a modern encounter story thinks is all too real. The strange, twisted legend of Kansas’s Hamburger Man. For the second story, we explore the rich paranormal history of Cornwall, England’s Bodmin Moor, focusing mainly on the old Bodmin Jail located at the edge of this large, preserved, mostly undeveloped land expanse of land. Lynze shares two spoopy tales too! Her first one explores the age old concept of making a deal with the devil. It's a bizarre tale and will make you scratch your head, for sure. Finishing out this weeks episode is haunted college campus. We haven't a haunted campus in quite some time, this one is fun!New Merch: Catch the brand new Monster In The Mist tee, available now at badmagicmerch.comBad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:This months charity donation is going to Camp Easton, a boy scouts camp here in CDA.

The Succubus In The Mirror

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. The first tale Dan has is one that scared Dan and Lynze more than any other story has  in awhile. It’s a story about what seems to be a particularly deadly cursed object.  It’s a random tale from a random forum - no real documentation with it.  The second story shows up all over the place. The lore of the Toronto Tunnel Monster. Does a cryptid - or do multiple cryptids - dwell in the elaborate and massive system of tunnels that lie beneath Toronto? Lynze is back to to her two usual tales, sort of. The first story is actual two from the same person. A young girl seems to be in touch with the other side and two tales, one of astral projection and one of premonitions show examples of the this girls connections to the other side.New Merch: Thanks to everyone who picked up a copy of the Fan Stories Collection Vol 3! No idea how that has gone since we recorded this one quite a bit in advance. Hopefully really well! Can’t wait to get those in your hands. We  decided to release the cover art as a cool landscape wall canvas because, well... we love it.

The Dentist's Wife

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.The first of Dan's stories this week is the more documented of the two. Dan will be taking everyone to the late 1930s, and to the Greater London area of England, to examine the haunting of Alma Fielding. In 1938, Alma Fielding, a 34-year-old housewife in Thornton Heath, a southern suburb of London, went to the press complaining of a poltergeist having invaded her home. Many, many people witnessed intense paranormal activity centered around Alma. The second story is the tale of a 19th century South Carolina woman who seems to have suffered an incredibly tragic death when she was accidentally buried alive. Does the ghost of Julia Legare still haunt her family’s tomb on Edisto Island, South Carolina? Lynze's portion of the show is made up of four small stories: a skin walker, a ghost, a self driving school bus and the woman in the mirror! Enjoy! New Merch: Super cool new Swamp Monster tee in the merch store this week. It features a rather large hairy beast with red eyes, lurking in the dark forest shadows, a very dark and moody depiction.

Woman By The Lake

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan has some fun in store this week! One tale is a little more traditional, and packed with a lot of good scares, and one that is very, VERY strange. The first is the story of  Lake Morena Campground, in Campo, California. An area of the outdoors that has been rumored to be haunted for decades. I’ll share some lore and an intense modern encounter story. The second story is the sorcerers of Chiloé . In 1880, on an island off the coast of Chile, several residents were convicted of belonging to a secret society of warlocks using black magic to intimidate and in some cases, even murder. The trial uncovered some very, VERY strange local lore involving monsters, wizard duels, and ghost ship, and more. Lynze and her fan tales take us back to The Crescent Hotel with an odd tale of exploring what lingers there. Then in her last story, her fan story is surrounded in grief and sadness but who said the spoops couldn't also be sad.  New Merch:  LISTEN CLOSELY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU NEED TO HUSTLE YOUR BOOTY ON OVER TO BADMAGICMERCH.COM RIGHT NOW TO GET YOUR VOLUME 3 BOOK OF SCARED TO DEATH FAN STORIES!!!

Underneath The Asylum

 SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has his normal two tales this week.  The first is the story of East Bethany, New York’s Rolling Hills Asylum. He will cover its history, haunted lore, and a more detailed and disturbing encounter tale involving a former employee and patient. Then, we go one state over, and a couple hundred years back into the past to tell the story of Elizabeth Knapp’s supposed demonic possession in Groton, Massachusetts in 1671-1672, two decades before the Salem Witch Trials.  Lynze will share three tales this week! Her first one is about a man in a window that will have us asking if the house is haunted or the people inside of it.  Then the hat man pops in for a visit! And then, just for fun, less of a story and more of a confirmation picture!  New Merch:  LISTEN CLOSELY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU NEED TO HUSTLE YOUR BOOTY ON OVER TO BADMAGICMERCH.COM RIGHT NOW TO GET YOUR VOLUME 3 BOOK OF SCARED TO DEATH FAN STORIES!!!

Boy Outside the Window

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has one of the most terrifying stories he has had in a while. Four residents of a memory care clinic die under rather suspicious circumstances in close proximity to one another and all after seeing a little boy with black eyes outside their window. Then in his second story,  we go with Dan as he explores the haunted tales of the rooms at the Battery Carriage House Inn. Lynze has one big tale this week. It all seems to start with a disgruntled family member who may have placed a curse upon another family member. The sighting of the hat man would be the first confirmation that more than one family member is seeing things they had not seen before. The plot thickens from there!  New Merch:  New Undead Tee hitting the Bad Magic store this week. Cool looking zombie/mummy creature on a black tee.

A Trip Into Hell

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Episode Notes:   Dan will have his usual two stories this week The first story follows a young man who decides to take a trip on LSD and ultimately, it costs his friend his life. But not how you think.  The second  story is set in Wisconsin -  the ghosts of Jay Road. A couple of possible deaths where the killers were never held responsible for their crimes seems to have led to some intense paranormal energy that still lingers in the area powerfully to this day. Lynze has a tale about a hat man who is not the usual kind of hat man. Perhaps he morphed into something else to wreak havoc on this young boy. Then,  a teenage boy gives into his girlfriend  and agrees to play with a spirit board. When that goes sideways, he regrets it.  New Merch: Awesome new "Gravedigger" Tee and Wall Art now in the bad magic store this week.  A creepy skeleton in a disturbed shallow grave, a really cool and interesting, realistic graphic tee.

Stargazing With the Dead

Episode NotesSCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Episode Notes:  Dan has his normal two tales.  First we head to London to familiarize ourselves with the story of the Battersea Poltergeist. This case of one family’s reports of ongoing paranormal activity got a lot of press back in the late 1950s. Recently, it’s garnered interest again!  Next, we’ll head to Sao  Paulo’s, Dream Beach. A mix of horror lore and a modern encounter tale that is very creepy and entertaining.  Lynze shares the bizarre, sad and spooky tale of a nun who becomes pregnant and is forced to give up her baby, despite not wanting to. St. Ann's Retreat proves to be anything but a retreat. Then for her second tale, picking up where Dan left off on a previous story, Lynze also shares a tale of an awful curse!New Merch: This week is an Annabelle exclusive merch drop!

You'll Never Escape

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Episode Notes: The first story this week is from some dark, strange corner of the web , an undocumented claim of paranormal horror at a setting we’ve never explored before. An escape room. It plays out like a sequence from a horror film we'd like to watch. And the second tale is a another creepy little lingerer, much like last week’s curse tale. This week, Dan will share the tale of a mysterious disappearance and then reappearance. The details shared by the person who reappeared almost make you wish they would’ve stayed disappeared so we wouldn’t have to hear what they say happened to them. Lynze has two great stories to tell. The first one is both creepy and confirming. A young child with a more than an active imagination shares some premonitions with her family. Then in her final tale,  she explores the mistake a father makes when he tries to contact his deceased mother, using an ouija board. New Merch: It's been a while since we dropped a sticker dump so we've got a few to choose from. Got a Spoopy Bitch sticker, horror addict sticker, and  lil demon and nightmare man stickers.  Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and look through the sticker bin!  Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:This month, we will be donation a massive $14,795 to Rainbow Railroad!

Death Curse

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Special Announcement:We here at Bad Magic Productions would like to take a moment to express our sincerest sympathies to all of those whose lives are forever changed by the senseless shootings in Buffalo, Uvalde and Tulsa. Our hearts are with you. Episode Notes:Dan has one giant story, and one little baby story. The first is an alien abduction claim, the second the claim of a curse. They both got a fair amount of press and you can find info on them from numerous sources. The first story is the basis of the 1993 sci-fi mystery film, Fire in the Sky. Was Travis Walton really abducted by and experimented on by  aliens? His story went on to be one of the most heavily documented alien abduction claim in US history. The second story involves claims of a curse. Did an actual witch curse a 35 year-old man in 1991? And did he die as a direct result? It sounds crazy - but the documented details of his haunting story are incredibly disturbing. Was Christopher literally scared to death?  Lynze has just one, big, fat story this week. She explores the possibility of a young man being caught up in something bizarre and disturbing. Could it be mental illness? Could it be far more sinister?  New Merch: New “Nightmare Man” tee and coffee mug in the store at badmagicmerch.com. It’s disturbing.  We wouldn’t want to see this face in the mirror.  Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:This month's charity is the Rainbow Railroad! Our donation amount is TBD, so stay tuned for that awesome amount! The Rainbow Railroad is a non-profit that assists those in danger due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. They are so unbelievable!

This place is so infamously haunted, Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures team explored if for the series premiere of their incredibly popular ghost hunting show. Do several different ghosts - and possibly some demons as well - haunt an old honky tonk bar that sits on the grounds of a one time slaughterhouse and mafia hotspot? Then, Next, the very unusual story of Audrey Marie Santo. Was this poor girl some kind of vessel for paranormal - perhaps even heavenly - activity? Lynze's first tale is not only about shadow people. It's also about the hat man. And what happens when the shadow people and the hat man team up.  Continuing with dreams blending into reality, story two will have you wondering if dreams really do come true, in the paranormal sense.

Alien Breeding

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING The first story Dan has takes to us some folklore surrounding an Indiana cemetery, just outside of the town of Brazil, Indiana. Can completing a ritual at The 100 Steps Cemetery actually conjure up a devil of some kind who reveals to you the nature and time of your death? The backstory followed by a modern encounter are the combo for that one. Then we travel from Brazil, Indiana to the ACTUAL country of Brazil.  Perhaps some Brazilian paranormal force helped guide Dan this week? A possible skin walker sighting in Texas will give all of you pet lovers a bit of a spoop. Lastly, is a mom protecting her daughter or playing a trick on her from beyond the grave? New Merch: In the store now at badmagicmerch.  is a bunch of stuff all related to this summers Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp this August 19-21.

The Summoning

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING Dan's first story is about a woman who may have had a demon summoned to attack her by a jilted man. Is it possible he is responsible for her torment? Then a strange tale of Polybius, a video game that may have ties to the CIA and MK Ultra. How could that be? Then Lynze shares a tale about a black hellhound, a possible omen. An apartment that seems to be occupied by more than just the renters inside closes out the show.New Merch: New “Dance with the Devil” graphic tee in the store!

Slaughterhouse Canyon

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENINGDan's first is a VERY creepy true crime/paranormal combo. Little warning for those who listen with their kids. Gonna be talking about some of the crimes of one of America’s most infamous serial killers - Ted Bundy. He raped, tortured, killed, and terrorized in real life. That we know for sure. Does his spirit continue to instill fear in the living from the afterlife? Then Dan takes us to just outside of Kingman, Arizona to explore the legend of Slaughterhouse Canyon. Did a horrible tragedy occurring there well over a century ago lead to the canyon becoming intensely haunted? Lynze has two very interesting tales to share this week. Her first story examines a possible on-going and building haunting at Mac Dill Airforce Base. A couple has been experiencing a few things here and there but it all seemed harmless. Recently, a dark figure was spotted. Is this getting worse? Then we visit a young girl with an imaginary friend, or so it seems to be her imagination from the outside, looking in. In her reality, she is playing with a very real boy. So which is it? New Merch: Brand new 'Wrong Turn' tee, featuring the classic "Where are we?" situation: finding yourself in a car, lost on a dark & lonely backwoods road, destined for impending horror.

Return to the Mist

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENINGThis week both of Dan's tales are demon related. At least according to those involved. The first story comes from the Warren files. A lesser known tale of demonic infestation from Ed and Lorraine’s seminal book “The Demonologist”. We head to Vermont in 1974 to hear the disturbing tale of the Donovan family haunting. One woman’s Ouija board use seems to have led to contact with something that was NOT what it said it was - something that would terrorize the entire Donovan family for months. His next tale is known as the Exorcism of Gina. In 1991, ABC News’ iconic exposé news program 20/20 would air coverage of the exorcism of a teenage girl identified only as “Gina.” She’d be cured -  BUT - did broadcasting what was supposedly her demonic possession lead to the demonic possessions of others? Lynze has a possible hat man sighting. A young mother notices the familiar feeling of her home feeling "off". The feeling escalates to an interaction with something. What does it want- her or her baby? Wrapping up the stories for this week is a tale about a family curse and possibly a warning about the family curse from a long dead family member. It all builds to a super spoopy ending!  New Merch: Black cats can be bad omens - but what about 3 eyed black cats?  What if there was a shirt with a black cat on it? What if you're the one wearing the shirt? Are you now a bad omen?

The Girl in The Cellar

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan's top story is one of the scarier tales we have heard in awhile. A man in Missouri is pulled into a dark mystery in his new home when his nightmares become real. If you have an old cellar this one might keep you from going down into it for quite awhile. The second story is historical A 19th century primarily-London based tale of the boogeyman known as Spring-Heeled Jack. Very odd and interesting. It's hard to figure out exactly what the hell was going with this entity that gave a lot of kids - and quite a few grownups as well it seems - nightmares back in Victorian England. Lynze has her two tales of terror as usual. Her first takes place in some military barracks with an entity that shows up during a party. Then to wrap it all up, Ms. Martha, a spirit living in a historical exhibit, makes it known that she doesn't appreciate  anyone touching her things.  New Merch: Very cool new tee in the Bad Magic store today.

It Came From Within

"I pestered my mother into talking about what she remembers from that night. She was reluctant, but she did tell me something that I haven’t been able to shake:  That night, the whispers were talking to her specifically. They were telling her to harm her children..."SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.Dan has two traditional-type stories for this week! The first one takes us to South Carolina. A modern encounter with the occult, it seems, in the old haunted Newry Mill. An abandoned old textile mill long used as a teen hangout and drinking spot. Then, we head to the little town of Mitchell, Indiana, to check out a haunted house known as Whispers Estate. We dig into its history to find out how it got this name. Lynze knocks it out of the park this week and really creeps Dan out with a tale about a haunted dresser with evil intentions. Wrapping up the episode is strange encounter with a woman? A spirit?

The Circleville Letters

"The tormenter called the Gillispies’ home phone. When Ron picked up, the caller declared he was observing the Gillispie house . Ron, furious, hung up and raced out the door with the intention of confronting him. Within minutes, he was speeding away in his truck. And he’d brought along a gun. And then a few hours later, Ron Gillispie was found dead behind the wheel."Dan has two out of the ordinary tales this week. He first shares with us the story of the Circleville Letters. A bizarre occurrence  of random people who are all connected in some way, receiving letters from an anonymous sender. Much like The Watcher, we don't really know what's going on. Is it paranormal or just some creep, trying to wreak havoc? Next up, five young men disappeared in north central California  after attending a college basketball game, and why they went to where some of their remains would later be found is still a mystery. Crazy twist at the end of that story that makes it real, real creepy. Lynze has some great stories for us too! Three sisters all see and hear something in their home. Could it be their imaginations or are they really seeing this? Lastly, a fun and spoopy look at an old parlour game called "Up, Table Up."Standup: Also - if you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here, his Symphony of Insanity standup tour is back and running.

The Wyrick House

“What’s your friend’s name?” she asked her daughter, hoping for something innocuous. Maybe the name of a pet, like Fluffy, or one of her friend’s names from school. “Mr. Gordy,” Heidi replied. “We play outside on the swings and in my room.” Dan's first story covers the tale of the infamous Wyrick House. Although there isn't much known about the actual location of their home in Georgia, there is enough evidence of a haunting that an entire movie was based around this family's horrifying experience with a couple spirits. Dan's second story follows characters Maria and Akiko, who were simply looking to take a relaxing trip out of town. But their VRBO experience was anything but relaxing. Their woodsy cabin quickly turned into Hell on Earth. For Lynze's half of the episode, we explore some truly terrifying photos sent in by a listener, and then we wrap things up by spending some time in a haunted warehouse. Both stories will send a chill down your spine. Standup: Also - if you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here, his Symphony of Insanity standup tour is back and running.

A Kiss in the Dark

TW! TW! TW! In Lynze's portion of the show, talk of infant death does appear. This show is explicit in every way. Take care while listening. "I leaned in, feeling her warm breath fluttering over my face. But then just before I closed my eyes, I saw her face change. Her eyes turned from brown to pitch black, and a sinister grin split her face. I jerked back in shock! Her face changed back to the beautiful girl she was before. Did I really see what I thought I had a moment ago?"Dan has two New England-based horror stories, a couple of areas with haunted origins going back to Puritan times. First, we’ll visit Devil’s Hopyard state park in Connecticut. What may haunt the woods of this park at night? Has it been haunting that area for centuries? These questions lead to a modern encounter story. Next, we’ll head to Portsmouth, New Hampshire’s South Street Cemetery. So many entities seem to inhabit this area’s extremely haunted space and we’ll meet several. Lynze has some creepy tales to share too! She kicks it off with a possible twin doppelgänger.  A woman goes her whole life not knowing she was a twin while also seeing "herself" on and off for many years. Closing out the show is a simple story of someone or something knocking at the window. It's the question the listener poses at the end that did Lynze in.  Standup: Also - if you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here, his Symphony of Insanity standup tour is back and running.

The Exorcism of Maurice Theriault

"As we got out of the car, we all froze. In the light, we saw very tiny handprints, like that of a six-year-old, all over our car."TW! TW! TW! Examples of suicide, sexual abuse, and murder are present in both of Dan's stories. The first is a shorter  tale that Dan promised to share here after a recent episode of the Timesuck Podcast when he talked about the 1980 New Mexico Prison Riot.  The now closed prison has been supposedly haunted ever since that riot, and today we explore those claims. His  big second story is the tale of Maurice Theriault. A name that probably rings familiar to a lot of horror film fans. Infamous demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren of the Conjuring universe were part of an exorcism on Maurice in May of 1985. Lynze has her usual two stories but this week, it's a little bit different. She shares encounters from the same fan who has two unrelated experiences about 10 or so years apart. Both stories are scary and interesting in their own ways!BAD MAGIC SUMMER CAMP TICKETS GO ON SALE MARCH 15TH, 2022 AT 12:00 PT!!!!!

The Fortune Game

"Soft, dragging footsteps, growing steadily louder. Kyle held his breath. The footsteps grew louder - and he swore something brushed against his arm. It was ice cold. His heart was pounding. And then the footsteps seemed to pass them by...."Dan's first story is set in America, but the ritual carried out in this modern encounter tale comes from Japan. Tsuji-Ura [Sue-Gee Or-uh].  Better known as The Fortune Game.  I LOVE this story. It’s all about how dangerous it can be to play around with trying to open doors into other worlds. In the second story we visit one of Hong Kong’s most notorious haunted houses, Dragon Lodge, and  looking into its history and the paranormal experiences some of its residents have supposedly had there. Lynze takes us to Cuba, again. The story of a mother's love may haunt her child forever. Wrapping it up, a tale of a possible alien abduction! BAD MAGIC SUMMER CAMP TICKETS GO ON SALE MARCH 15TH, 2022 AT 12:00 PT!!!!!

Just Beyond

"And then he saw something out of the corner of his eye. A man was running through the woods… with a look of fear on his face. He seemed to be definitely running away from something. Or from someBODY. Joe was about to call out to the man to see if he needed help when his mouth dropped. He saw, just as Vicky had before - that the man had no legs."Dan has two tales that both involve a haunted place. Both involve numerous people claiming to see or hear the same ghost or ghosts. For the first, shorter story, we’ll head to the UK, down by Portsmouth just North of the Isle of Wight, to explore the ghosts of Hinton Ampner. A story of hauntings that  supposedly occurred back in the 18th century. Then, we are going to look into the crimes of midwest serial killer, Herb Baumeister, who buried numerous victims on his property in Indiana just north of Indianapolis in Carmel. Did his murders trap numerous spirits on Fox Hollow Farm, the beautiful estate where he lived and very, VERY likely murdered? Little true crime/haunted place mashup.  Lynze has two excellent stories and follows in Dan's footsteps with a little warm up and then a big scare. For the appetizer of spoops, she takes us to a college library where something or someone wants to have a few private moments, practicing their music. In her second tale, you best stay until the very end, because it all comes together ever so neatly. A young girl purchases an old vanity and within one day, she begins to see someone in the mirror. But whom? New Merch: Got some new, VERY cool merch in the bad magic store this week. Our very own STD cryptid! You gotta look at this thing to take it all in. A flower for a head.

The Mannequins of Lawson House

"Now my mother stopped convulsing and sat up and got face to face with my grandmother. But her face did not look like it should have. And she spoke in Camila’s voice. She screamed in Spanish, “I’ll take EVERYONE FROM YOU, WITCH!” Dan's first story is not one that will jump right out and terrify you but it sure is bizarre and creepy. The Lawson House saw much tragedy around it over the years, literally. A fatal train crash and a series of fires that did not involve the house itself but perhaps came to be the place the lost souls took up residence. One day, a bizarre collection of mannequins arrived on the porch of the Lawson house, with out explanation. Where did they come from? Who was dressing them? Propping them up? Adjusting the poses? No one ever took credit for it and then one day, it just stopped. Weird. Then in story two, Dan takes us to South America to Argentina to explore a possible family haunting, foul play and multiple deaths. A family divide, a disagreement goes next level when one family member not only (possibly) kills one family member but also comes for others after her own death. It's a wild ride and will have you wondering if you should be making offerings to the saint of death. Lynze has 3 tales this week, so fun! She starts off with the most skeptical family, a family of non-believers who eventually all see the same inhuman woman in their dreams. Who is she and what is she doing there is beyond anyone's knowledge but this family works together to attempt to banish her for good. Then, off to Ohio for a haunted bar tale. A little palette cleanser of a story, not super scary but definitely makes you wonder. And then lastly, a pair of teens harass a neighbor who is possibly a witch. Did they take it too far when they cussed her out? Does she want revenge? New Merch:A new vintage halloween decoration inspired tee in the bad magic store this week. A Grim Reaper tee!

The Southend Werewolf

"He began growling, a deep, rumbling, angry sound. .. After a long moment, I realized that these were not my husband’s eyes at all. They were the darker, glistening, furious eyes of another species.”Dan kicks off this weeks episode with his standard two. One long one, one short one today. And neither is a ghost story, actually. The first is about a man from England, Bill Ramsey, known in paranormal circles as “the Southend Werewolf.” Dan shares the very strange story of how he arrived at that moniker. The second story is about a mysterious disappearance, known as The Kinross Incident. We haven’t heard one of those in awhile and we all know how they panic Lynze!  What happened to a US fighter jet and the two men inside it over Lake Superior back on November 23rd, 1953?Lynze has two of the best, scariest fan tales! As all kids do, some children are having a great time playing a game of hide-and-seek. It's all fun and games until they have an unexpected person join their game. We are all afraid of the basement and with this story, it becomes more clear why! Then off to Columbia where a police officer takes home a little something. A police officer working during the reign of Pablo Escobar sees more than his fair share of horrible things. What he never planned on was bringing one of those awful things home with him. New Merch:The STD lockup collection is now available for you to check out at www.badmagicmerch.com. No graphic look this time, way more subdued. A Classic monogram lockup of the show’s letters. It features a unisex black pom-pom beanie, black and red 3/4 sleeve baseball tee, and a choice of black or red regular tees.  Very cool collection for you to check out, especially if you want two wear some S2D merch but don’t want images of monsters or demons on something you’re wearing.

Look At Me

"They’d only made it a few paces when Louise’s boot snapped loudly on a twig. She winced and froze. “I hear you,” The woman sang in a high pitched voice. “Keep walking,” Nathaniel whispered. They made it a few more paces, when Louise heard the distinct sound of a third person’s footsteps, directly behind her. Louise felt a hand reach out and firmly grip the back of her arm."Dan starts with  his two stories, like normal, but they’re a bit bigger than usual. They both take place outside and are both  classic ghost stories. The first comes from England -  Wychwood Forest - and the ghost of Lady Amy Dudley. Does the spirit of a woman who died long ago still roam the forest, searching for the man who may have had her killed? And can she kill? The next story takes us to Southern Oregon - to an old cemetery in Cottage Grove - a town Lynze and Dan once drove right on by when moving from Santa Monica to Couer d’Alene. Did a young couple confront a ghost who still wants to guard his land?The second half of the show, Lynze brings us a story of a person who tells their tale of surviving an exorcism. So often on this show, there are questions about exorcisms and what might happen afterwards. Just last week, Dan told the tale of a woman who died soon after her exorcism. But not this guy. He lives to tell us all about it!  Her second tale is beyond creepy. A young couple moves into an apartment, meet all of their neighbors- except one. On a seemingly regular night, both people see two different people occupying the neighboring apartment. Are either of them real? New Merch:Brand new Tales Of The Dead Tee in the bad magic store now.

You Never Know When You're Safe

“What floor?” I asked. “You first,” he said. “You first?” - “Who says that in an elevator?” Jesus. So creepy. Now I was starting to genuinely worry about this guy. Was I safe? Was he gonna attack me in the hotel elevator? Two middle-aged men duking it out? I pushed the 14th floor and he raised up his eyebrows, saying “Good choice! Me too. Safe travels.” I was just about to ask him what the Hell his deal was when the elevator doors closed and the lights all went out."The first story takes us to Dallas, Texas where a traveling businessman has a long travel day turn into a true nightmare when he meets a stranger at the hotel bar.  It's a fun and scary story set in one of Dan's favorite horror locations - the haunted hotel. Next we head to upstate New York to explore the legend of The Flying Head. We’d classify it as…. a cryptid, we guess? This is a wild tale. We hope it’s not true. If it was, a pair of hunters had a bloody encounter with a monster - something supposed to be nothing more than an old Native American legend. Tale three is a bizarre and long standing relationship between a woman and a doppleganger. Or maybe it's more than one? It's hard to tell exactly what is happening and why. The last story of the show  has us hoping nothing ever crawls into bed with us! A woman recalls her awful encounter with something from beyond this world that joins her while she sleeps! New Merch: Brand new Potion master tee and sweatshirt now in the bad magic store.

The Tanacu Exorcism

"After a few days of this, the monk and his nuns now carried her from her room and into the church, chaining her to a cross with her arms stretched out in a crucifixion pose while they doused her with holy water at the alter of Christ.  As they watched her arms strain against the ties, they wondered if they were hurting her and should untie her." The first story is known as the The Tanacu Exorcism. What everyone agrees on with this story, is that in the Spring of 2005, a young nun named Maricica Cornici died after collapsing after being tied up for about a week in a Romanian monastery. What there is a lot of disagreement on is what led to her death. Did a monk and some nuns horribly handle a case of schizophrenia? Or - was this truly a case of demonic possession? The second story takes place in Garfield Heights, Ohio. An anonymous woman bought her first house and joy and pride quickly turn into paranormal terror. Very unique type of haunting that I can’t set up much without giving something away. But this one is probably gonna be hard to listen to if you hear it right before you go to bed and you live alone. Story three brings us to Cuba! A young girl takes a horse back riding trip while on a family vacation. She discovers what appears to be a stone altar and, unfortunately, removes a necklace from the stone altar. By doing so, she interrupts a tradition in Santeria that helps spirits move on to the other side. Then in the final story, a couple encounters a mischievous ghost in a Dublin pub!  New Merch: Got some new merch in the store but only for our Annabelles! It’s uh real… um….

Girl In The Woods

"Hanging from the ceiling. Swaying back and forth, holding that cross just like I’d heard, giant grin on her face, and those dark, hateful eyes staring right at me. And then her mouth moved as I heard her speak. “I knew you’d burn when you were a kid, Jason, and I know it now. Your dad is waiting for you. HELL! Hell WAITS!”  A truly terrifying story  of a murder turned ghost that haunts the woods of Lums Pond State Park, a beautiful park that flies under the radar! In the 1870s, an unnamed young woman from New Castle County ran away from home and ended up in what is now the park. This woman decided to camp out in the woods her first night away from home. A man found her and based on the state of her body as it was found later, he’d raped her and left her for dead. Before she died, some locals heard her screaming late it into the night, but they weren’t able to find her body until long after she died of her injuries. Her body wasn’t found for several days, actually. And her killer was never found. Then for story two, a very specific kind of haunting in a church basement, like one you will never forget. A woman from the local parish who was in charge of Bible study, one day, hanged herself in the church basement and it would appear, she still has not found peace in death. The back half of the show unintentionally takes on a theme of kids and attachments or hauntings, but in different ways. In story one, it would seem that a boy is born with the gift of seeing things that live beyond our realm, whether  he likes it or not.  In the final story of the show, a true skeptic gives into the other side when he is haunted repeatedly by the little blue boy with the maniacal grin. New Merch: The Spoopy B*tch Collection is now in the store after much demand!!

The Legend of the Kushtaka

"We watched silently as Ronald swam towards his destination. And then suddenly….  Ronald disappeared from our view. He slipped under the water, hands flailing for a moment, before his hands sunk under as well. And he never came back up. Moments passed. We waited with bated breath for him to come up. Streaks of red appeared on the surface, pale at first, them blooming out into a giant scarlet cloud. Blood..." Dan takes us to Alaska to explore a new kind of folklore, a new entity we have not yet covered on Scared To Death. The Kushtaka. According to northern legends from southern Alaska , the Kushtaka  are shape shifting creatures that are half man, half otter.  Not a combo that is probably going to immediately strike fear into anyone hearts when that’s all you hear. When you think of an otter, you most likely think of a cute, water-loving little creature known for floating on its back and eating shellfish. But the Kushtaka is not some cute little creature. It’s a large, bigger-than-a-man, soul-stealing shape-shifter. After Alaska, we journey to Lancaster, Ohio to hear the tale of the Mudhouse Mansion. The history of this house is a troubled one that begins with a tortuous slave owner who abused one of his slave so severely that one night, the slave murdered the slave owner and his entire family. Thus begins the Mudhouse's many bizarre activities. In the back half of the show, Lynze has two tales. The first one, though small, is mighty. A woman has what would seem to be is a lucid dream, at least that's what she thought. She thought the creepy man with wide grin and black hat were simply a nightmare. That is until her child told her not to follow the man. How could her child know about her dreams before she even spoke of them? Was it a dream afterall? Then a story of a haunted trailer! Lynze loved this story because while it had a few moments of being tense, it was really more about confirmation of what a ghost might be capable of that is not necessarily terrifying. New Merch: New year, new merch! Entomophobia is an extreme and persistent fear of insects.  It's what's referred to as a specific phobia, which is a phobia that focuses on a particular object. That's why we just dropped the new "Take my Hand" tee in the bad magic store!Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:The first Bad Magic Productions charity of 2022 is going to be Love Thy Neighbor.

Seven Sisters Road

"The monster dug his claws into the hood of their car, the claws making a horrible screeching sound as they dented the metal. It used its grip to propel itself upward, jumping on the roof of the car with a loud, crunching thud. “Drive!” Lori screamed!This is it, Creeps and Peepers, the last episode of 2021!! We truly don't know how to thank you for making us one of the most successful horror podcasts out there! Are gratitude is real and your support means everything to us. We wish you and yours a healthy new year! In Dan's first story, we go to Aruba, Jamaica, ohhhhh I wanna take ya... WAIT. J/K! Just going to Aruba. A married couple takes a trip to reconnect and bring back the spark. All was going well until the final day of their trip. Jordan, the husband, insisted they leave on a late night flight and in order to make their flight. And to save time, they take a short cut. This short cut was the worst decision he made on that trip and it serves as a reminder to always trust your gut! Then off to Nebraska to Seven Sisters Road. A little road with a big history. A brother killed his seven sisters by luring them out, one at a time, to seven different hills where he hanged them. That energy seems to be hanging around to this day. A couple takes a short cut, just like the couple in Aruba, and will come to wish they hadn't!Lynze has 3 stories this week! Going out with a bang! Her first story is creepy BUT you need to look at the picture to really have it sink in as to why finding 20 wooden crosses in a clearing during a hike is so damn scary. Then in story two, we visit a family who has two ghost kids living in their house. They seem to be totally harmless until one night, which is always how it goes. This time though, the kids might be the only thing that can save them. And then wrapping up 2021, a story about an encounter in insane asylum during a routine training!  Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Lost Hearts

"And when they entered the house they were “immediately greeted with spontaneous banging and knocking from around the house, but the focus seemed to be in Gottliebin's bedroom.”To Germany! A story of a very bizarre and long possession are what Dan has to share at the top of the show. Lutheran Minister Johann Christoph Blumhardt was born July 16th, 1805 in Stuttgart, Germany. He would live in Germany until his death at the age of 74 on February 25th, 1880. Blumhardt became a famous faith healer in his day - and his fame began with a book he wrote, Blumhardt’s Battle, published in 1850 - a book that journaled his 1842 exorcism of Gottliebin  Dittus, a young woman from the small German village of Möttingen. And Gottliebin experienced, if we are to believe Blumhardt’s account - an incredibly intense and prolonged demonic possession.  Then Dan keeps the holiday tradition of an old timey Victorian era horror story to wrap up this holiday edition of Scared To Death.  Lynze takes a slight departure this week telling two similar tales that offer more confirmation and comfort in what might be on the other side. In her first tale, she shares the story of a man who spends the night at The Villisca Axe Murder house and brings home an attachment, but it's not what you think. Then in her second share, she tells us the story of a mother who lost her life but helped her daughter save her own. It's a sad story with a happy ending and just enough spoop in the middle! Bad Magic Virtual Gathering 2021: We record in advance so we can only hope y'all had a great time at the 2021 Bad Magic Virtual Gathering!  Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Dark Watchers

"As he was stopped in front of the garage door, a voice said, “Come here.” Allen prayed to God someone was playing a trick on him. Even someone trespassing on his property would be better than something he didn’t have an explanation for. He crept around the side of the garage and looked into the alley…The Dark Watchers are dark, shadowy entities that lurk in the shadows and haunt the  Santa Lucia Mountains. Are they really there or are they simply an urban legend? Young couple Carlos and Julia find themselves coming face to face with the dark watchers when they get lost on a hike. The dark watchers don't seem to want to hurt them but they are getting aggressively close to Carlos and Julia. Julia makes an offering but will it be enough? Then Dan takes us to Wisconsin to hear the tale of the Tallman family. Like any young family on a budget, the Tallman parents are excited when they find a good deal on a set of used bunkbeds. Unfortunately, they will come to regret this purchase when they bring home more than they bargained for. The nightmares, the encounters, the disembodied voices can almost be explained away. It's the fires and the soot that have the Tallman's concerned. Will they make it out alive? Lynze has one, big, fat, juicy amazing tale this week! A life long following? Haunting? Shadow? What do you call it when you are pretty damn sure "you" have been following you around for the entirety of your life? A dopplegänger is supposedly a version of yourself that appears to you as an omen, a warning. However, there don't seem to be any rules about how long a dopplegänger might stick around before one might experience whatever it is they are there to warn you about. Lo, a longtime fan, has been dealing with her shadow friend for the majority of her life. It's been nearly impossible to find out what "She" wants. Or at least it seemed that way until her boyfriend passed away. Was that the entire purpose of "her" following Lo around? And if so, why is she STILL there?! Bad Magic Virtual Gathering 2021: The 2021 Bad Magic - VIRTUAL - Gathering. Sunday, December 19th, 6PM PT .

Bad Reflections

"I slipped off my blanket and put my feet on the floor as I realized that the bathroom light was on even though I distinctly remembered turning it off before I went to bed.  I cautiously creeped over to the bathroom and peaked my head around the corner. And I froze when I saw the creepy man from the front desk -  seemingly trying to drown some young woman in the bathtub!"Dan has a lot of story to share this week! He starts with the tale of a young woman discovering a man in her hotel room drowning a woman to death. It all feels so real but is it? Can ghosts and the living interact in a way that we didn't think they could? Possibly. This evil man may have drowned a woman, but not in that moment. It's all a bit weird. Then it's time to visit Australia's Letta the Doll. If you brought home a doll for your children and the doll was talking to them in the night, you would think that would be the end of that doll, right? WRONG. Find out why Kerry Walton decided to hang on to this haunted doll. Dan wraps it up with three small tales of haunted mirrors. It will leave you understanding why Lynze will never buy an antique mirror! Speaking of Lynze, she has some juicy tales this week too! A story of two friends who stumble upon an abandoned barn that holds something unexplainable inside. They don't know if they discovered a rotting corpse or the remains of an occult ceremony. Either way, what they discover is less than pleasant. Finishing out the episode, we find ourselves staring out in the dark abyss of the wilderness to find eyes staring right back at us. What a scary thing, to be so vulnerable and then see little sets of eyes spying on you. The worst part is that even after these friends leave the woods, one friend still feels the eyes upon her.  Bad Magic Third Annual Giving Tree Update: We are excited to share that we are able to support 77 families this holiday season! Way to go, Creeps and Peepers! We value your support of other humans. You the fans have donated $13,160! Dan and I are pitching in $15,000 and the Patreon donation is $16,000.

The Melting Clown

"Emilia," he said, turning back to her. "There are people out there coming towards us. People with hoods." "I know," she said calmly. "Sorry, Layton. I really do have feelings for you, but it has to bed fed." "Fed?" Layton didn't like the way that sounded at all. "The beast" he mumbled as he put on his shoes and jacket.A very well documented murder, well actually murders, in Helsinki in 1960 are the basis for this extra creepy tale. Layton and Emilia are a young couple on a trip of a lifetime in Finland, loving life. That all comes to a halt when Emilia tries to offer Layton up as a sacrifice. It's a weird story that will make you think twice about traveling with your significant other. A truly haunted house that also houses haunted objects, possibly, is the basis for tale two of Dan's this week. The house that sits at 50 Berkley Square in London is supposedly home to rare objects, books and items of the occult. Did the Maggs Brothers buy this home because of its interesting past so that they could stash all of their bizarre artifacts there? So many deaths and sightings occurred here, it's hard to imagine anyone would want to own or occupy it. Lynze carries on with the haunted house theme. In the first story, Ana sees a little blonde girl in her house, regularly. Her family eventually confronts the ghost and her many friends, but they don't want to leave. Why do the children want to stay? And is it possible that they simply feel safe there? Lastly, the melting clown. MW has a tale that freaks Dan out. It's one of his greatest fears- Clowns. And that clown shows up in the most vulnerable of places. Many years later, MW finds out just how the spirits that haunted her and her childhood home got there in the first place. Bad Magic Third Annual Giving Tree Update: We will have an update on the next episode as to how many families we were able to help and how much money was donated!

Brown Mountain Lights

"But then one night, when he heard her screaming, he ran in and says he saw the boy from the painting crawling into his daughter’s room. When he screamed the boy thankfully disappeared. And he put the painting in storage."Dan starts with a different angle this week by exploring the world of haunted paintings. It's a totally new space to explore and a really fun and interesting space to find new spoops. Then in his second telling, Dan shares many shared accounts of the Brown Mountain Lights. Lynze has a lot of questions which is really what all of these people have. These mysterious lights are inexplicable and have been going on for years. They are just so bizarre. In Lynze's half of the show, she focuses in on just one story, instead of her usual two or occasional three. A lifetime of hauntings that start when a boy moves in with his grandparents. Like all good hauntings, it starts off slow until he can't take anymore. This cycle seems to repeat its self a few times in his life. Another time he sees himself sleeping next to his girlfriend. Astral projection? Doppleganger? Lucid dream? You decide! This happens yet again. Finally, he has enough and tries to get rid of what has followed him for all of these years. Does it work?   Bad Magic Third Annual Giving Tree Info:This year marks the 3rd annual Bad Magic Giving Tree! Over the last 3 years, we have taken what would be the monthly donation for a charity and kept it in our Bad Magic family.The first year, we only had the donation money.Then last year, the fans wanted to help. Dan and I offered to match the total amount donated, which was maybe a bit insane, as the fans donated over $18,000. Lynze and I also donated more than $18,000, plus the $11,000 from Timesuck’s Patreon and we had over $47,000 to spend!This year, we are excited to announce the Bad Magic Giving Tree once again!  We will be using the December Patreon donation to kick start the fund for this year’s Bad Magic Giving Tree. We estimate we’ll be donating roughly $16,000 from Patreon. As of recording this episode, which is a few weeks ahead of time, the fans have sent in over $4,000. We are well on our way to giving some of you a little bit of love this holiday season.  Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Impostor

“Something out here is trying to kill us. It wants us to swerve off the road and crash - it’s TRYING to get me to swerve off the road and crash."Dan has two fantastic tales this week but Lynze's stories seem to be the one's that really give the chills this week. Dan tells the story of a tired, over worked cab driver in Vera Cruz. At the end of his shift, all he wants to do is go home and go to bed. A beautiful woman begs for a ride home and he is so captivated that he drives her home. When he returns the next day to take her on a date, he is shocked to learn that she has been dead for many, many years.  Continuing with the theme of seeing weird things while driving, Dan takes us to Scotland to visit one of the most haunted roads. Two brothers encounter so many bizarre things, so many spirits that it would seem impossible to not be real. Lynze, unintentionally, starts off her half of the show with another tale of seeing bizarre and scary things while driving at night, her first tale is a 2 for 1 special about the Smiling Man. While driving through their small town, the see the Smiling Man not once, but twice. Wrapping up the show is an insane story about a shape shifting doppelgänger. It's a long story that bobs and weaves. Pay close attention and enjoy your nightmares, creeps and peepers.Bad Magic Third Annual Giving Tree Info:This year marks the 3rd annual Bad Magic Giving Tree! Over the last 3 years, we have taken what would be the monthly donation for a charity and kept it in our Bad Magic family.The first year, we only had the donation money.Then last year, the fans wanted to help. Dan and I offered to match the total amount donated, which was maybe a bit insane, as the fans donated over $18,000. Lynze and I also donated more than $18,000, plus the $11,000 from Timesuck’s Patreon and we had over $47,000 to spend!This year, we are excited to announce the Bad Magic Giving Tree once again!  We will be using the December Patreon donation to kick start the fund for this year’s Bad Magic Giving Tree. We estimate we’ll be donating roughly $16,000 from Patreon. If any of our fans would like to donate to the cause, this year, we are only accepting Amazon gift cards. Dan and I will be matching up to $15k. If fully matched, that’s $46k. Every little bit counts to help fellow Bad Magicians - listeners of Scared To Death, Timesuck, and/or Is We Dumb. If you have $10 or $20 to give, it helps. The average donation last year was approximately $50 - and all the money went to helping Bad Magic families have a better holiday. If you would like to donate, you can simply go to amazon.com and purchase a gift card. When you fill in the box for “TO” simply enter the email address  [email protected] will we choose who we help? That’s the hardest part. But here is what seems to be the best way to handle it:We believe that every kid deserves a happy holidays - Christmas, Hanukkah or otherwise. And we know the pandemic has made it harder than ever to give kids a nice holiday for many families. The requirements for to get some presents for the family this year are quite simple. We ask that you be honest. And we ask that only those with kids reach out.

At that time, the names will be entered into the Giving Tree “hat” and we will notify ONLY the recipients ASAP to explain how they will receive their donations. We will be sharing updates as we have them, on how much money we have and how many families we think we can help!Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: We’re donating $15,800 to the Bad Magic Productions charity of the month, IAVA - Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. From their mission statement: We are here to serve and empower our post-9/11 veterans community.

The Hidebehind

This weeks episode has a strong theme of seeing things you just aren't sure of! We have so much non spoopy info to share with you  that we will keep this part short! Dan shares the folklore of the "hidebehind", something that is hiding in the woods! Then off to the Philippines  for  haunting of the elementals. It's a bizarre story with a surprise ending! Lynze has some info to share about the spirit in their house, followed by two fan tales. The first comes in  from Colorado (she misspoke in the episode and said Texas) from a LEO about being called into a domestic dispute that is anything but that. Then story two will have you wondering what exactly is crawling into bed with you at night. Don't be surprised if it's not your beloved pet. Bad Magic Third Annual Giving Tree Info:This year marks the 3rd annual Bad Magic Giving Tree!

Montana Nightmare

"You don’t want to be with me,” Kris replied, her voice gravely and low. Laurie realized that there was still laughter— a different, high-pitched laughter, at the same time as Kris was speaking. “You want to be with them. You hate me.”“I don’t hate you,” she begged, trying not to let her legs give out. She felt like the dolls were closing in on her, could even feel the brush of cloth against her ankles, like they were beginning to surround her. She was about to become hysterical."Dan brings it this week with two incredible stories! The first story is a tale of a couple who decide that, due to the pandemic, they are going to move out of their busy city and out to the mountains of Montana. It all sounds so sweet, almost dream like! The dream of making an old house their new home quickly goes sideways when a room of dolls is discovered. From the moment the dolls are found, everything changes. A possession in the Philippines is Dan's second story. It's a sad story, the story of a young girl living a hard life. Her hard life grows harder when she is incarcerated and then possessed. The ending of this story though, is a real head scratcher. Lynze admits that this weeks stories are a bit less spoopy than usual, she's starting to crack up a little bit. Her first story will take us to the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904 where an abandoned baby goes on to lead a very interesting life and is possibly still quite interesting in death. Then, a chance encounter with the beast of Bray Rd. Two friends set out to cruise around and enjoy a few beers. When one of them needs to answer natures call, a horrific scene unfolds. Then, to end the show, a protective Grandpa makes a return visit to make sure his granddaughter remains safe. New Merch: Something special in the Bad Magic Merch store this week, an Annabelle exclusive collection. The Scared to Death gym time collection. Go workout while getting scared! So much fun stuff! A duffel bag, shirt, notebook, clipboard, water bottle, sticker and even an after gym towel. Go check it out for yourself at Bad Magic Merch!Moment house Digital Experience: Hope you all had so much fun at first ever, Scared to Death Live Haunted Halloween - true tales of Hallow’s Eve horror.

Born on Halloween

"The mist now surrounded both men, shrouding them in a haze. Slowly, the man reached out, gripping Cesar's hand tightly in his own. Cesar let out a sigh of relief. The man’s black eyes shifted to Mario. “Bcasqua” he said in a low, raspy voice. Before Mario could take another breath, the man pulled Cesar with him over the edge of the cliff and down they both went."Dan kicks off the show with a classic tale most of you will know. The Hull House! This is the inspiration for Rosemary's Baby, a horror movie classic! Then story number two of this Halloween themed episode, Dan takes us to Columbia to visit the haunted falls of Tequendama. Back in the states, Lynze brings us to Colorado for the story of a very bizarre and possibly haunted silo.

The Halloween Others

"I guess it’s time isn’t it?” Mitchell was about to answer them when from behind he heard his own voice reply, “I guess it is." Mitchell spun around to see himself at the top of the stairs and he screamed. He ran down the rest of the stairs as his parents and the Other ran towards him."Dan and Lynze are getting us ready for Halloween with a Halloween centric episode! Expect this episode and the following episode to have Halloween themes and overtones. Dan's first story is about a son, returning home to see his parents. Except his parents are different now, not quite themselves. Are they themselves or are they the other? In his second tale, a young girl has an imaginary friend who turns out to be anything but imaginary and is for sure, not a friend. Lynze presents the tale of three friends who tromp through an old, haunted dorm. They get out alive. Or do they? This is a tale of the taboo. Then in her second spoopy story, Lynze has a fast little story about two sisters who most definitely see a spirit in their house after a night of trick-or-treating! Moment House Halloween Show Details: We are very excited to announce that tickets are ON SALE NOW for the first annual Scared to Death Live Haunted Halloween - true tales of Hallow’s Ever horror!

Haunting at the Skirvin Hotel

"Then he heard it. Ever so faintly, but very distinct. The sound of a baby crying. And more unsettling, Bill felt there was something else going on. He strongly felt that that he wasn’t alone in his room." Dan has an old tale of the Hayden Family. Did one member of their family curse them for all time? Would you believe it if it came to fruition? Then Dan takes us to Malaysia for the folklore tale of the oily man. Is he a human man, hiding behind the folklore or is it an incorrigible incubus, seeking out women to fulfill its needs. And then Dan gives us a little treat with a third tale about the very haunted Skirvin Hotel. The Attachment from the Green House, is Lynze's first tale today. Could ghost or spirit start to follow you at a young age and in time, slowly reveal itself? Listener tale number one explores a lifetime haunting that is seemingly building up to something. Listener tale two is about a haunted house that seems to contain two different spirits. Perhaps one good and one evil?

We Simply Must Be Going Now.

TW: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DETAILS OF A GRUESOME SUICIDE "They way I heard it, they were both found in their bed, laying side-by-side on their backs, heads perfectly propped up on their pillows, and a note on the nightstand that read, “We simply must be going now.” Dan has seriously creepy tales this week, guaranteed to spook even the bravest of Creeps. Tale one contains TW, please proceed with caution as this tale is explicit. A young woman left to fend for herself is unable to handle all of the tragedy bestowed upon her. When she completes suicide, her spirit remains unsatisfied. Has she come back to the scene of her death to collect more souls? The second story is that of The Berini Haunting. A family experiences a long series of paranormal events that seem to precede real life tragedy. When an exorcism is preformed, what is the end result? Lynze starts with a long tale of the White Woman, who has followed someone for all of their life. Is it possible to bring your attachment with you, everywhere you go, for you whole life? A second story that is short tale feels like a brief sighting of a spirit, possibly disguised as her partner.

Take My Hand

"She opened her mouth to ask another question… and then a gentle, cold hand rested on her stomach, right over her tiny baby bump. Marissa gasped. She watched silently as a pale white outline of a woman appeared directly in front of her, on the other side of the headstone. It them stepped towards her..." WOW!!

Witch's Bridge

"He stared down at himself with the same horrified expression. I knew right away he saw it too. As I opened my mouth to say something, he screamed. His feet fell out from under him, and I screamed too as his head hit the edge of the bridge, as I watched him seemingly get pulled straight down into the river." In Great Falls, Montana, some police officers are among those who believe that one of their jail cells is haunted. The Old Cascade County Jail was built in the early 1900s, directly across the street from the west face of the courthouse. Bob Edwards, a Cascade County Sheriff , claims he saw a strange mist floating through through the old cells on a video monitor. It spooked him. And to this day, he has no explanation for it. According to local legend, she was believed to dabble in witchcraft. Or at least that’s what she was accused of. One night, some scared local townspeople decided to form a vigilante lynch mob, and take what they considered to be justice into their own hands. They decided to kill who they believed to be a heretic. And when they made it to her house that night, they grabbed the poor woman, and they hanged her from a tree directly in front of her her home. According to legend, in her last moments, she cursed the house and the surrounding land and still haunts the area today. Summer Camp should be a fun time to hang out with your friends and enjoy your freedom from your parents. It shouldn't be a place that you and your friends find themselves terrified of what comes in the night. In story one, Lynze walks us through a very bizarre summer camp story. After that, she has two more tales, both about haunted houses. The first house appears to very angry when the new owners begin to renovate. It's a classic haunted tale! The second haunted house comes with a big twist at the end, so stay tuned for the most chilling details! New Merch:Also, in the store now at badmagicmerch.com! We have a new demon tee shirt and mug in the store! Looks so cool. Reminds me of Japanese Oni artwork and masks. Been drawn and painted and carved a certain way for centuries.

Make Your Peace

"Then he heard Wei’s scream get cut off abruptly and then he heard a quick succession of thumping… like a body falling down the stairs… or being dragged. And then a moment later..." In story one this week, we go to Beijing! A beautiful and ominous, ivy covered French baroque style mansion sits in a complex with another mansion inside an impressive courtyard in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. Originally built by the American Catholic Church in 1910 and then used from 1930 until 1949 as a Chinese language school to train foreign missionaries, the house then began a long, long period of sitting unoccupied, surrounded by stories of the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman haunting the grounds And now, to Iceland! Hurrá is a popular bar/nightclub in Reykjavik, Iceland. Hurrá doesn’t just make the lists of the best pubs in Reykjavik, it also makes the lists of the “most haunted” spots in all of Iceland. Local lore claims that a young sailor was murdered on the shore where the bar now sits, many centuries ago, and his spirit never seems to have moved from the place where he died. Story three considers the idea that being in touch with the other side might be something passed from one generation to the next when a red bouncing ball appears to multiple in one family. Story four has us encountering a house full of paranormal activity that seems to be coming from a gnome. New Merch:Also, in the store now at badmagicmerch.com! Revelations Tee, coaster, and coffee mug. This design reminds me of stained glass from some medieval church - but a dark church that would have gotten a lot of heretics burned - and it looks incredible.

Under the Ice

BIG TW ON THIS EPISODE! DAN'S SECOND STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC DETAILS OF TORTURE AND MURDER. VERY EXPLICIT! "A tap tap tapping beneath his feet made him jump. It sounded like something was just underneath the ice. Caleb watched, frozen in fear…. as the dark outline of a hand pressed against the ice from below. Tap tap tap...." In Dan's half of the show, he takes us to Connecticut! A somewhat hilarious story of a man trying to move his house across a frozen lake leads to the house sinking. And while that is is own kind of horror, the real fun begins when the rumors flare. Supposedly, the house sinks to the bottom of the lake where the piano left inside is now played by ghosts. Turns out, there might be someone under the ice. Then in story number two, we travel to Hong Kong. A sad, tragic story leads to one very scary tale. A young women is brutalize and murdered for stealing from her pimp. After dying at the hands of her torturer, she returns to seek her revenge. Lynze has 3 back to back to back stories that are all just a little bit odd. A UFO sighting that was confirmed by multiple sources, a little girl conjures up a new friend in the mirror and possibly haunted hotel or the very least, a very sketchy situation. Combine all three for maximum spoops! New Merch: New Scared to Death playing cards in the store now at badmagicmerch.com.

She Was the Darkness

TW: Lynze's story contains details of the death of a child. "Rob couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a scruffy, human like shape coming up through the ground.He felt a wave of fear engross him as he saw what he assumed was a literal zombie - an undead corpse - climbing up through a hole at the back of the mausoleum. " There is a reason why cemeteries are so scary. The are home to the dead. What would you do if you saw someone crawling out of a grave? Find out who is back from the dead in Dan's first tale. Dan shares a terrifying tale that will remind you that if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Jenna needed money and was desperate. When she has the opportunity to make $2,000 in one night for simply house sitting, she jumps at the opportunity. Unfortunately, Jenna is in for a very dark night. Lynze has just one tale for us this week. It's a long and very scary tale. The Cave City of Balochistan is home to an urban legend.

The Seven Gates Of Hell

"There must have been a hundred sets of glowing eyes in front of them. Some of their figures were only shadows.But some of the closest ones, the ones moving towards them now, they could see their faces. Their bodies. All of them looked malevolent. All of them seemed to be coming directly for them." TW: Dan's second story has a violent story woven into the horror story. Proceed with caution and take care while listening. Toad Road AKA The Seven Gates of Hell is a classic haunting. Dan tells such a great sotry about two teens trying to prove their bravery and prove the rumors to be true. One gate, two gates, three gates, four, five and six... what happens when they cross over the sixth gate? Then a very fun flash back to our teen years with a story of a haunted house owned by none other than TLC singer T-Boz! An all around creepy, albeit sad, story that will make you consider following your gut about your kids friends. Lynze gives us a palette cleanser for the first story, sharing a tale of a sweet moment between a skeptic and possibly, his deceased mother. An LDS missionary gets more than he bargained for when he asks the question, "How powerful is the Devil?". Can you conjure up the evil just as easily as the good? Closing out the show, Lynze explores the idea of a premonition via a dream. STREET TEAM: Live in the store now at badmagicmerch.com.

Don't Stop

"Their friend said that if you drove through the tunnel at midnight to the hotel and called out the boy’s name… you might see him in your rear-view mirror, running up behind your car, flailing his disjointed limbs as he tried to catch you. " Dan weaves horror this week, telling us about Japanese traditions of Kimodameshi. The folklore that comes out of Japan is possibly some of the best and most terrifying. In the summer months, they celebrate a season of hauntings. What do two friends get themselves into when they try to complete a test of courage? Then back to the states to famously haunted Biltmore Hotel in Miami. A honeymoon gone sideways when a very strong message is sent to the lovebirds that they aren't welcome. A hotel steeped in history and crazy stories, this haunted hotel story is a classic. Lynze knows Dan and others will be divided on her first story, sharing the tale of a possibly powerful crystal that doesn't seem to be doing anyone any good. Can a spirit or entity attach itself so strongly to an item that the affected person just won't abandon it? Then, a really, really tough story of a haunted house that ends in tragedy. CAUTION! Please be advised that this story is graphic. STREET TEAM: At high noon, pacific time, on Monday, August 16th, the stickers will go live on badmagicmerch.com.

The Haunted House of Lunahuaná

"And then Julian felt the temperature drop and that same cold air on his right ear. And now… something new… a finger touching his back.A faint, white glow surrounded him. Something was behind him. He slowly turned around, tears running down his face, lip trembling, coming face to face with a white, womanly figure." Peru! Oh Peru! We have not travelled to this part of the world yet, making this a whole new area of spoops. A couple of teenage kids get far more than they bargained for when they embark on a night time tour of the haunted house of Lunahuaná! Then for a little twist, Dan tells various tales of people who have worked on horror movies and have seen a whole lot more than they bargained for, when the cameras stopped rolling. Lynze has a life long haunting tale to tell of a woman who has been plagued by the same spirit her whole life. It would seem that this spirit showed up in her childhood and never left. Is it possible to carry the same spirit with you, for all of your days? Robert The Doll is a famously haunted doll. He lives in a museum in Florida. If you choose to visit him, there are strict instructions on how you can interact with him. If you don't follow the rules, something bad might happen to you. Follow along as one fan shares his encounter with Robert The Doll! What We’re Doing for Episode 100: Gonna have a fun drinking game for our 100th episode, so have some alcohol on hand when you listen if you like to drink. Rules will be determined by our Roberts and Annabelles. Gonna be a longer episode than the average episode. More banter than normal. Gonna be - hopefully - a lot of spooks and a lot of fun. Can’t wait to celebrate a hundred episodes of Scared to Death! New Merch: Super fun, new red and black, “Not today, Demon!” tees in the Bad Magic Merch store. Not sure, because we’re recording this in advance , but possibly some Scared to Death volume two books are still left for preorder. Limited amount, so again, when they’re gone they’re gone.

The Legend of Danvers Asylum

Patient seemed incredibly lucid, showing no signs of psychosis. Charming, even. I asked about what she was seeing that no one else could see. “It was just a few weeks ago when it started,” she said, still in a neutral, lucid tone. "The odd rashes began coming and going, I felt something… moving… under my skin. I went into the bathroom so I could have the best possible light. It looked like… and now you’re really gonna think I’m crazy - it looked like a tiny little hand pushing against my skin from the inside. And soon, there was a second tiny hand pushing. Like a little person - or creature - inside of me trying to get out." Boy oh boy does Dan have some juicy tales to tell this week! The first story is especially terrifying. What if you could feel something inside of you, trying to get out, but no one believed you? Listen to the tale of woman plagued by what was inside of her and how she may have given it to someone else. Across the pond, is where we visit Alton Towers. Alton Towers have seen much death and tragedy throughout its long history: huge battles, murders, suicides and even a witches curse. Let's dig in on variety of those tales. The Lady of the Locks is Lynze's first tale. A story about a mischievous wife who ran around on her husband and thus, her husband killed her. Or so the story goes. When a diver needs to go down into the lock system, where she supposedly drowned, he isn't sure if what he is seeing during the routine cleaning is his imagination or something more. While we are on the topic of things beneath the earth, let's consider a haunted bomb shelter, left over from days gone by. A high school student is locked in one, underneath his high school. And while that's a bit scary, it's not that big of a deal. Until he passes out and awakes to find tiny hand prints on his body. What happed down there?

Found You

"And then it started cutting back and forth between channels, fast enough that sentences began to form from the snippets of the on-screen words of various programs. Programs he didn’t recognize. I..Will…Find…You. He held his breath. Holy shit." Dan is telling one of the best stories in his first sharing this week. A game of hide and seek, kind of. What if demonic possession didn’t always take the shape of speaking in unknown languages, cursing at priests, sharing knowledge one shouldn’t possess, or behaving like a mad, raving beast? What if sometimes it was much, much subtler - and therefore - in terms of spiritual warfare - much more effective? Find out! George Van Tassel, a man who some called “the first hippie”, walked away from Southern California’s booming aerospace industry in 1947, not long after Kenneth Arnold’s infamous UFO sighting near Mt Rainer and the even more famous Roswell Incident that shortly followed - the two sightings that collectively, with other lesser known sightings in the summer of ’47 - kicked off the roots of modern UFO lore. What did George see in the Mojave to make him a believer? Tune in and find out. Lynze closes out the show with two tales of family hauntings, both of which, will leave with some full body chills!

The Monster in the Mirror

"And it was like the man could sense his fear. His grin got wider, green eyes shining with an evil amusement. If he ran, would the man run after him? Chase him? He’d just have to find out. " The Legend of Old Green Eyes has our taking a journey down south to Georgia! There is a local legend of an unknown soldier who was decapitated after being struck by a cannonball haunting the old battlefield of The Battle of Chickamauga. When a group of professional actors assemble to recreate this battle, it seems to upset Old Green Eyes. Possibly worse than being chased by the likes of a lost soul, is what you might be able to summon in a seance. Two friends get together and attempt to get in touch with someone or something beyond the veil. Just when it feels like they haven't been successful, they hear it, "Hello.... We're here...." and so begins their nightmare with the other side. Nursing homes are inherently creepy so when you add in a haunting and an attachment, it's safe to say there are spoops galore! A nurse seems to have let her curiosity get the best of her and has now opened some kind of ability for a spirit, or two or three, to visit her family. When your eyes play tricks on you, you might want to start trusting yourself. While we often catch glimpses of things that perhaps aren't there, we also, definitely see things that are for sure there. In the 4th and 5th stories of the show, we hear from fans that have possibly seen things that they weren't meant to see or things that they wish they never would have seen.

The Widow Ghost

This episode contains themes of drug use and suicide; it is explicit in every way. Take care while listening to Lynze's first tale. "According to legend, the Lai Thai is a jealous and vengeful female spirit - the ghost of a sexually insatiable, adulterous, cruel woman in life who is now crueler and more selfish in death. She roams the earth as a malevolent spirit - haunting the dreams of male villagers at night - always looking for another husband to take with her into the grave. It’s said that when she finds a man she’s attracted to - this succubus of sorts enters his dreams - a sexual Freddy Krueger who seduces him while he’s asleep, and then convinces his soul to follow her into the afterlife… leaving his body vacant and dead." The legend of the Lai Tai (or Lai Thai) is one that will make you nervous to go to sleep at night, if you happen to be a young Thai man. This spirit sweeps through villages in Thailand, capturing the lives of men. Could you be next? Dan tells us all about the Lai Tai this week as a little warm up story. Then he brings us to McCook, Nebraska for the The Tale of the ghost of Devil's Canyon. When two friends embark on a day trip and one friend is really into exploring the paranormal, while the other friend tries to keep them safe, what could possibly go wrong when the creeper friend takes the reins? This is a classic campfire tale and Dan really brings you all of the chills with this one. Lynze has a heavy story to start with. The story is sad, spooky, and uplifting, all at once. The ghost of the former owner of a home seems unable to leave. But perhaps, she has good reason to stick around. Is she there to haunt or to protect? And then, we are on a secret military mission in Yemen. In an already intense situation, could it possibly get any scarier than having your commander in charge start to unravel, to call out in words in a language they can't possibly know? Hear what happens to a team of special op's soldiers when then encounter the unknown. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Erratic Behavior

"Night after night for several weeks, the sound of scratching built in frequency, intensity, and volume.Eventually it felt as if at any moment - some great and terrible beast might suddenly rip a hole in the floor, wall, or ceiling and come crashing into the room.And then, for ten days in late 1960, things would escalate far beyond the sounds of scratching." Ursula and Sabina Video: https://bit.ly/3iQL2wj This week feels like Dan really went for it, hard. One incredibly terrifying tale of poltergeist activity and one tale that will just leave you scratching your head. Oddly, both stories end with the subject(s) of the story seemingly disappearing! How bizarre! Lynze also has some very fun stories this week. She has back to back stories in the south. One in Savannah on an old plantation, a haunted house with a dark past and one in North Carolina, of recent times.

It Feeds

"C whirled around, momentarily picking his eyes up from the floor, and he found himself staring straight into the mirror. And directly BEHIND him, he saw a dead man. A dead man who was weirdly blurry around the edges. As C watched, frozen and horrified, blood began to pour out of a hole in the man’s chest, spattering the floor, the walls, and even against C’s clothes" Our first tale is about The Hammersmith Ghost Murder Case! Starting in November 1803, the British citizens of Hammersmith were worried about the typical concerns of daily life we all still worry about - money, health, taxes, family squabbles, neighborhood crime, etc.They were also worried about something not of this world.They worried that something paranormal was going to attack them like it had allegedly already attacked some of their neighbors. Now, in our second story, we explore the lore of other cultures. Every culture in the world has its own unique spin on the supernatural. Every religion has their own demons - or demonic equivalents - including Hinduism. From what we understand, the Hindu religion teaches and warns about three primary groups of evil entities. First the Bhuts [ boots ] also sometimes called bhutas [boo tuhs]. The Bhuts are supernatural creatures - often called ghosts. Usually they are described as being the sprit of a deceased person, often considered to be perturbed and restless due to some factor that prevents the spirit from moving on.Next there are Pretas [ prey-tuhs ] - eternally hungry, zombie-like entities. They are the wandering, tortured souls of those who were false, corrupted, compulsive, deceitful, jealous or greedy in life.These dark entities wander the earth at all times, generally unable to be seen. Always miserable. Always looking to feed.And then there are the Pishachas [ pee shakas]. The worst of the dark spirits. What happens when one encounters a Pishacha? Closing out the show, we have two tales, both which feel unbelievable. A story of possible alien abduction and a loss of time and as story about how psychics might have more power than we want to believe.

Mr. Fun

"Take my hand, Kira. You don’t want to make me mad do you? I’ve waited too long already” “Please,” Kira whispered, frozen in place, “you’re scaring me.” “I know,” said the man, flashing a predator’s toothy grin - “That’s why you come here, right? To be scared? Being scared is fun. That’s why you all went on the rides! But you didn’t go on mine. And no one can scare you like I can, Kira? Nothing will scare you like what I can SHOW you? Once you SEE what can BE - NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTER.” Dan knocks it out of the park with not one but two amazingly haunting tales. He begins with the tale of the man for Taured. This story explores the concepts of the multiverse, an idea explored by many people. Could it be possible that our lives as we know them are only iteration of our lives? What would you do if everything you knew to be true, to be fact, was taken away from you? It's such a bizarre concept to dig into a new topic for some big creep factor on Scared To Death. It's Dan's second story that throws Lynze into a tizzy. Have you ever been in an amusement park and felt yourself overcome with fear of being lost? Or worse, being kidnapped? This story has so many layers of scares, there is no way you listen to it and get a good nights rest. Lynze brings three stories this week for a smattering of shadow people tales. Which of the three is the most horrifying? Probably the first tale. The story might be short and sweet but the photograph as the end is haunting. Story two and three don't necessarily pack in a ton of spoops but they will make you question what shadow people are, why they might be here and how their world works.

Still Screaming

"The mysterious man now noticed their headlights and turned to face them. He was hunched over, collar up, shielding himself from the rain. It looked like he was wearing some kind of long, shabby black coat.While continuing to stare at them, he took a few steps forward, and Sarah flinched back into her seat.Something was off. Who was this guy? No normal person would be standing on the overlook at this time of night, would they? Where was his car?" Dan has two truly creeptastic tales for you this week! He starts off with a bizarre and deadly plane crash that ends with the pilot going missing. But what if he isn't really missing, well, not really? Rumor has it that the ghost of Larry Stevens continues to haunt highway 107 in Greenville, South Carolina. It's entirely possible that a young couple not only saw him but gave him a ride, one dark and stormy night. Keeping the spoops going, Dan takes us up to Canada for tale of the possibly haunted school, Humber Heights Consolidated. The school had been used to house the dead after a hurricane struck the town in 1954. All of these years later, it would appear that some of those who were stored in the temporary morgue never did move on. Hear the tale of a Canadian law officer and his not one but two creepy experiences at Humber Heights! Do you remember the myth of bloody mary? Well, Lynze is ready to give you a refresher. She shares the story of two brothers who manage to conjure up something, in the dark, in the bathroom. Is it bloody mary? or is it someone else? And then we hear the tale of a family, an entire family, who seems to be haunted. No matter where they go, it would seem they are always surrounded by haunting moments.

Living Dead Girl

"A strange and satisfied smile then appeared on his face and he asked, “Did you play with Masha?” He paused and then added, “Maybe she’s bored.” At that moment, the familiar sound of Masha’s music box rang through their home and Elvira jumped up in fear. Yuri also seemed afraid and he too stared at the doll in disbelief. Anatoly was unfazed. He was smiling now. “See…” he said calmly, “she’s just bored.” He then went over to the sofa to sit by the doll while his father held his trembling mother in his arms." Dan has two very odd and interesting stories this week! He starts off with the tale of The Dorothea Puente Murder House. This story is similar to a lot of the haunted tales that begin with murders we’ve told, but maybe scarier than most because while it’s typically the VICTIM or the VICTIMS of the murder that haunt a dwelling, in this tale, there’s seem to be some pretty good evidence that the killer that once roamed the rooms of the Dorothea Puente Murder House taking lives, may still be there today, possibly still taking lives. Then for story two, Dan covers some new ground by taking us to Russia for the creepiest doll story you have ever heard. It's disturbing on so many levels. We can't give to much away here so tune in to find out why the dolls are so very creepy! Lynze balances out the second half of the show with three tales, all with the theme of children. Children seeing things, hearing things, protecting themselves from things. In each of the tales she tells today, there is an element of spoop that takes it to the next level!

The Monster Under The Bed

"And then soon, they went from concerned to outright scared when Kristine walked into the kitchen one day to see Natalia pouring Pine-Sol into Kristine’s coffee. Kristine says she ran over and stopped her immediately, hoping, praying, that Natalia was just messing around. But then when she asked Natalia what she was doing, she said that Natalia replied, “I’m trying to kill you.” " Dan takes us down a strange and peculiar story hole this week. His two stories are a bit off the beaten path. He starts with the story of a family who adopts a Ukrainian girl only to find out, she might not be who or what she claims to be. A lot of people have drawn a comparison between this story and the movie, "The Orphan". The movie existed before this strange occurrence, so who knows if the family was overreacting because they had seen the movie or if they were inspired to eliminate a threat to their family, quickly, because of the movie. The second story from Dan takes us to Pyramid Lake for some really peculiar details. From giant fish to water babies, Pyramid Lake seems to have some very interesting things living, or not so living, just under the water. Carrying on the theme of the strange and unexplained, Lynze has two juicy tales. The first one is of a haunted house. Perhaps the house didn't need to feel creepy, it could have been a kind spirit but it all took a turn for the south with a simple touch. Did this family accidentally invite something in when they began a remodel? You will think twice about painting your room after this one! In her second story, Lynze has a good old fashioned tale of the monster under the bed. Everyone has felt that kind of fear as a child but what would you do if you actually saw it? A listener has a really hard time ever sleeping again... New Merch: Cool new Scared to Death popcorn bowl in the store at Bad Magic Merch dot com for horror movie nights.

Scared To Death

TW: There are some pretty graphic sexual true crime details in this one if you want to skip it. "But then a week later, Remy fell into another trance. And she started speaking to her husband in that same foreign voice - a voice that was angry this time... And then this voice gave him the names — AND the phone numbers — of four different people Teresita knew who could identify this jewelry as belonging to Teresita. And then the voice, after urging him again to PLEASE contact the authorities - it went away again. His wife snapped out of her trance. " It's a bizarre episode of Scared to Death! Dan has two rather interesting stories that walk the fine line between true crime (which they are, for sure) and paranormal (which they might be, who knows?!). Dan kicks off the show with a very well documented death of Cindy Elizabeth Hack James. It's a topsy turvy twister. Cindy is a women who someone wants dead, but whom, or what, is after her? For SEVEN years, Cindy is harassed, attacked, stalked and eventually killed. But who is the killer? Then, in the second story of the show, Dan is certain he has evidence of the paranormal and after life. When a middle aged woman is found dead in her apartment, with no signs of forced entry and no enemies to speak of, it's just the beginning of the most bizarre murder mystery. Teresita was a popular and well liked woman, so when she turned up dead, the questions began swirling. Police would never have predicted just how they would solve this case. It would appear that Teresita was uninterested in finding eternal rest, until she brought her killer to justice, even from beyond the grave. This singular tale has Lynze somewhat excited for what might exist, beyond this world. Listen in closely and follow the details of this Scared To Death: Unsolved Mysteries episode. Lynze also some very unique and spooky tales for her half of the show. In story one, we are off to Columbia to hear the tale of a son who is deeply concerned for his father and the dark forces that seem to be at play in his life, both in the world and beyond. Is Oscar's Dad in trouble with money, women or the devil? Something bizarre sure is swirling around Oscar's Dad and if he isn't careful, it might also consume Oscar. Then, in story two, Lynze leaves it up to you to decide if this tale is a case of sleep paralysis or if it's something else entirely.

"You Found It."

"Then, as he backed up a step, he saw the top of Victor’s head crane up towards the ceiling, and he heard Victor say, “Hey, were there always chairs on the ceiling?” Andrew’s blood ran cold. The ceiling? What the Hell was he talking about?" Can a house come alive and lure you in? And try to make you stay? In Dan's opening episode story, he tells the tale of two childhood friends, Andrew and Victor. The pair begin work on a very old, Victorian house and the odd occurrences start from the moment they enter the house. What is happening in this house remains a mystery... until the very end. Then it's off to France for the story of the Green Lady of the Château de Brissac. While visiting the ancient chateau, various accounts of a woman in green have been reported. Sometimes she simply floats down the hall. When she looks up at you, her face isn't quite right. Why is that? Tune in to find out just what happened to this woman. Lynze goes back to the basics with a fan story about the Hat Man. In her first story, fan Mike tells his tale of how the Hat Man has been following him for 20+ years. Mike seems to have invited him in when he was just a teenager. It all started with a scrying mirror. If you weren't afraid of playing with mirrors before, you might be now. Then, for her second story, Lynze will have you traveling from Hawaii to Kentucky. A young couple with their sweet daughter move into a home in Kentucky after her Dad was transferred there. The moments of the house revealing its hauntedness come in waves and cause the family to GTFO. Then, for a little bit of fan fiction! Young fan, Trey, sent in an original work. Check it out!

Cult of the Undead

"He crawled up on top of where she lay. He sat down on her chest and stared into her eyes. And she could now see he wasn’t a little boy at all. He was something… else. Something dark and dead - a ghost of some kind. A monster. She actually told mom she thought he was a monster. And this little monster placed his hand on her chest this time, just below her neck and she felt the cold again. Colder than before. And she felt the fear. It was heavier than before." Dan brings a whole new kind of terror to his first story this week. What seems like your typical story of an older person starting to forget things and misplace things leads to a horrifying reality of no one believing an elderly woman about the "bad little boy" she keeps seeing. He comes to her, when she is in bed and alone, in the middle of the night. He whispers to her. He wants to take her. No one believes her and her nightmare takes a deadly turn. For story number two, Dan takes us to Cumae Archaeological Park, into dark tunnels. There are many mysteries and legends surrounding Cumae. When two young, broke college kids embark on a journey into the hidden parts of Cumae, they believe they are in the trusting hands of their tour guide. However, their tour guide has something very different in mind; he is looking for a different kind of gratuity for his hard work. Lynze opens her half of the show with a not so scary tale but a tale that makes you ask lots of questions, none the less. Reincarnation. Do you believe that we can come back to this world, even after we leave it? A sweet little boy seems to know far too much about things he couldn't know. His family is confused by the knowledge he possesses but they aren't scared. They are hopeful that this youngster is just a former family member. Then, in story two, Lynze takes us on a wild, wild haunted house ride. You will, for sure, need to suspend your rational self to accept this as reality. The fan who wrote in acknowledges that the tale sounds tall but he insists that it is 100%. And like they always say, only one story has to be true to open the possibility of all of them being true.

New Orleans Cannibal

This weeks episode is EXTRA special!! Dan and Lynze recorded on the road, from one of the most haunted cities in America, NEW ORLEANS!! Dan and Lynze love NOLA, which is no secret. This week the pair was on the road and wanted to try out recording an episode while away from their recording studio in Coeur D'Alene, ID. As the world starts to reopen, Dan will be touring again for stand up, so now seemed like the perfect time to test out the traveling recording kit! If you're considering watching this episode on YouTube, note that this entire episode is in complete 360 degrees! With that out of the way, get ready for four stories that all take place in New Orleans! Does is get any spoopier than NOLA themed stories, recorded in NOLA. "Guests began to witness what they would later think was the Chef’s ghost in the dining rooms or near the front door. Sometimes smiling at a guest. A few even claimed he asked them if they’d enjoyed their meal. Does the Chef not know he’s dead? Has his love for Brennan’s tied him to the building? Is there something paranormally “sticky” about the location, for lack of a better term, that allowed hi spirit to be bound?" Dan has a great story to kick off the episode, about one of NOLA's most well known families, The Brennan's. The Brennan's own many restaurants in New Orleans and thus, have a hold on some of the oldest buildings. When one of their top chefs passes away, it would appear he is not quite ready to hang up his chef's hat. In his second story, Dan shares the tale of Louis Congo, a former slave turned executioner, and one man's possible encounter with him. Louis was freed from slavery only to be subjected to a whole different kind of hell. Did Louis enjoy torturing and killing people? Is it possible that his spirit still haunts Jackson Square, awaiting another person to break on the wheel? Lynze also has two very intense New Orleans stories. Taking place very near Jackson Square, a fan submits a story that begins at the Moon Walk. A security guard has the strangest encounter with someone that he can see but more importantly, can small. Is this a vision, a spirit or a homeless person? Stick with the story to find out if whatever it is, has the ability to leave the Moon Walk and follow the security guard to another location. In her second story, we offer a TW about suicide. Lynze shares the story of the NOLA Cannibal. Perhaps you have heard this tale. A story of drug use and mental illness combined with love and the aftermath of Katrina, a man murders and chops up his former lover, cooking and preserving her body. Years later, when two friends visit the scene of the crime, is the spirit of the deceased trying to communicate her story? Tune in to find out!

Ernie Rivers' Poltergeist

"One of the most intense incidents was when Ernie sat doing his schoolwork at the dining room table and he thought he saw movement from the side of the stove. He thought he saw a dark figure moving past him. A dark figure in the room with him. He soon caught the motion again out of the corner of his eye, and then, following it, he watched one of the pepper shakers from the top of the stove start to levitate before rapidly floating over and landing beside him. " Known as the Project Poltergeist, Dan's first tale is the first documented case of poltergeist activity taking place in one of American’s government housing projects. It’s been called the Project Poltergeist. The strange tale of a lot of paranormal activity following a young man, Ernie Rivers. Who is the poltergeist? Is it Ernie's Dad? Did he come back to take Ernie away? Keep your mirrors covered, if nothing else, when listening to this story. After getting spooped in story one, Dan takes up back to Japan to investigate multiple ghost sightings in the wake of the 2011 tsunami. These aren't your average ghosts who hide in the shadows. No. These ghosts are in plain sight, they look like they are alive, just like you and I. Lynze balances out the more traditional stories with two stories that may just get under your skin. To start, Lynze takes us on a hike and camping. When you are in the middle of nowhere with no one else close by, except your tent mate, and screams cut through the night air, you might not want to trust that those screams are human. For the last story of the show, we follow along one sisters journey of watching "the man" who seemed to be attached to her brother, until the end. Was the man death, coming for her brother or was he there to warn of death to come? One will never know. New Merch: Another reminder for the April 22nd Scared to Death LIVE show.

The Legend Of Moll Dyer

"She could go in there, she told herself. She could go in there and see what was happening…. Angela got up and crept out to the hall. Standing in front of her daughter's door, she heard something… It was almost two in the morning.And then she heard it more clearly - a low, heavy chanting. And then that same laugh, the laugh from before. Angela felt sick all of a sudden. Some sweat slipped down Angela’s back. She reached out her hand to open the door and as she curled her fingers around the doorknob, she abruptly withdrew them - the doorknob was red hot. She stifled her scream. " Do you know the legend of Moll Dyer, the inspiration for The Blair Witch Project? Moll was “an old hag,” according to folklorists, who lived in a ramshackle home. Something about her terrified the local people - her uncommon height, her uncomfortably intense, piercing eyes. Locals thought she was a witch. Was she? Or just another victim of paranoid persecution? After experiencing Moll Dyer, stick around to explore the ghost ships that show up on the coast of Japan every year. We’ve talked about ghost ships on Scared to Death before. Even skeptics who don’t believe in ghost ships, who find a ship’s crew completely missing or a ship showing up with a dead crew, to be pretty unsettling. So much of the vast oceans of the world are still unexplored - and often so empty - so devoid of human life. You can easily end up being the only person around, nothing on the horizon for as far as the eye can see. What is happening on the coast of the Ichikawa Prefecture? Lynze has a tale this week that is beyond scary. A story about the lamp postman. Who is he? What is he doing out there, just standing there in the night? When Meg pulls into the driveway late at night, should she make a run for the back door, while he watches or should she circle the block and see if he goes away? What will Meg do? In Lynze's second tale, we travel to La Jolla, CA to go for a deep-sea dive. It's not what might be lurking in the dark waters that you should fear but rather who? When three divers go down but only two come out of the water, you will wonder what happened to diver number three. UPCOMING LIVE SHOW!

Haunted From The Grave

"In 1947, three supervisors all turned up missing one afternoon. They were found unconscious and locked in a small boiler room in the southeastern part of the plant. None of them could explain exactly what had happened to them. But all three agreed they’d been approached by a man they didn’t know shortly before they blacked out. A man whose skin appeared badly burned and who angrily shouted at them “to push some steel.” What if your workplace was haunted? What if the ghost haunting your work was a former boss and he meant you harm? That is the story Dan weaves in his first half of episode 82. Dan takes us to Alabama to hear the story of the supposedly haunted Sloss Furnaces factory and their most famous resident ghost, James "Slag" Wormwood. For the second story of the first half of the show, Dan takes us over to Rhode Island to hear the story of a young woman so riddled with guilt to keeps trying to contact the dead to gain forgiveness. This particular story was reported to Ed and Lorraine Warren's New England Society for Psychic Research, back in the late '50s. When two young friends experience a tragedy while playing on the jungle gym, one of the friends dies. As the years go by, who is haunted? Is it the friend who is living, dealing with the guilt, or is the deceased always trying to reach out? Going for a whole new fan base, Lynze tells a tale submitted by an LDS listener. While on a mission in Mexico, does this elder come into contact with a spirit while witnessing a possible possession? If so, could it be that this spirit has taken up residency with the elders who witnessed its banishment? Stay till the end for an interesting detail as told by another elder. Moving from Mexico to the middle of nowhere suburbia, Lynze transports us to a haunted station. When a young man is working the graveyard shift at the local radio station, of course, he invites his friends to come hang out. One of his friends wants to practice his musical talents and records his jam session. When he plays back the track to bathe in his greatness, he hears a lot more than just his rendition of "Tom Sawyer". Live Show Announcement! Quick LIVE show reminder. Thanks to those of the Creeps, Peepers, Roberts, Annabelles and Bad Magicians who have already bought tickets to the April 22nd Scared to Death LIVE.

The Worley Hospital

"Something was moving towards them - coming from down the hall. Carlos swore he could see something back in the shadows. Whipping their flashlights around - they DID see something. They all three saw a small, dark, evil creature quickly approaching them from no more than twenty feet away…" This weeks Scared To Death is truly unlike any other episode! Dan and Lynze welcome a VERY special guest, Mustafa Gatollori from A&E's Ghost Hunters! The episode begins with Dan sharing the tale of the Worley Hospital in Pampa, Texas. The iconic Worley Hospital has been abandoned for many years after originally being built in 1929 to accommodate the fast growing oil town. Two cousins decided to buy the building with hopes of turning it into a B&B. Those hopes and dreams come to a halt when both cousins begin to experience paranormal activity. Dan and Lynze will talk to Mustafa about how he and his team explored the hospital to try and help the cousins out. But before that happens, Dan has another frightening encounter in the Worley Hospital to share. Three young friends break into the old building after hearing tales of its haunted hallways for years. They don't last very long. Between the rats and the faint giggling of someone who isn't really there, the friends get their fill and make a run for it. After chatting with Mustafa, Lynze takes us back to our usual content. She has two stories this week. The first story is told by a fan who thought she and her friends were just making up an imaginary friend only to find out they may have brought something else to life. Listen to the story of Emily Rose (not that one). From there, Lynze exposes us to a new piece of Mexican folklore. The tale of a Lechuzas Brujas! Supposedly, these are women who sell their souls to the devil to gain super natural powers but the price is that you become an owl. Hear the story of one families close encounter with the Lechuzas Brujas. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

“Hold Him Down!”

"After having spent a night in room 314, a doctor and his wife mentioned an encounter with something paranormal at checkout one morning. The doctor had been awakened several times by a gentle tickling sensation on his feet in the middle of the night. In his sleepy state he was convinced that the comforter or the sheets were somehow responsible for the sensation of something lightly brushing his feet. But then, the final time it occurred, he looked down to distinctly see a little girl tickling his feet. He said she smiled and then vanished." Could you spend a night in most haunted city in the United States, Savannah, Georgia? Could you spend a night in the most haunted city at a haunted hotel? If you said yes, congratulations, you are 100% Creeper. Dan goes old school with two tales of haunted houses, back to back, in Savannah. The first story takes place at The Hampton Lillibridge House, which partially set the stage for Tale of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. A really bizarre story with many deaths that lead up to one final, incredibly questionable death. Then, we stay put in Savannah to hear about the children that haunt The Marshall Hotel. A beautifully restored hotel that seems to have a lot more to offer than just a place to rest your head. Be wary of rooms 214,314 414!! Lynze also goes back to her horror roots with a traditional story, telling the tale of a haunted house in Scotland. A young child has multiple encounters within their home but everything seemed friendly. That is, until one day, when the young child finds themself face to face with a floating being. After Scotland, we explore the idea of a new kind of spoop. Do you think shadow animals are possible? If shadow people are real, then why not a shadow dog? Or an animal doppelgänger?

Six Tapes

"Fast forward about a year and one night… when you were just a little baby, I overheard your mom and the guy in charge talking about how ‘now the sacrifice needed to be made. And you were mentioned. Long story short, you were supposed to be the payment made to whatever we’d brought into the world that night. This guy was telling your mom that it was ‘almost time,’ and your mom…. she seemed… OKAY with it all." In episode 79, Dan has a story based on some lost footage and a story about sleeping with the dead. In story one, we hear the sad and tragic story of Peter, a young boy who loses his parents and is sent to live with his grandparents. Upon turning 16, Peter's grandparents give him six tapes that contain footage he was not prepared for. Peter's father had prerecorded a series of 6 tapes that contain very important instructions for Peter to follow, in order to keep him safe. In each tape, Peter must recite a prayer for protection. Or is it? Are his dad's intentions simple and pure: leave a message for his son from beyond the grave? Tune in to hear Peter's side of the story. Dan's second tale is a well-documented and bizarre story. When a man's wife passes away unexpectedly, he isn't quite ready to say goodbye. Is he possessed by the spirit of his wife? Has she compelled him to ignore his vow of till death do us part so that they might be together... forever? A doppelgänger double feature wraps up the back half of the show. Lynze attempts to get under Dan's skin by talking about two very different but very disturbing instances of possible doppelgänger encounters. In her first story, she tells the tale of a young girl and her grandmother both witnessing and talking to her younger brother. When he vanishes into thin air, both assume he's playing games. As the evening progresses and the young boy is still unable to be located, fear sets in. It's only after the boy's mother confirms that the young boy is at his father's that both grandma and granddaughter come to realize that they may have encountered something not of this world. Was there a glitch in the matrix or did a doppelgänger appear before a man, posing as his wife? When the young husband wakes up to see his wife scurrying off to the restroom, he doesn't think much of it, until he notices her stilted stride. Upon further investigation, his wife is nowhere near the bathroom. How did she get to the bedroom without him knowing? Was she there all along? And if she was in the bedroom, who was that that went into the bathroom? Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The School of Shadows

"She’d later tell investigators, who were still trying to catch Phillip’s killer, that she was hearing noises coming from inside the walls of the home. Scratching, rattling noises. She sometimes could hear what sounded like someone breathing. Or someone whispering. The police came over to investigate…. and found nothing. A few days later, the nurse called them again. This time, she reported seeing an apparition on the back stairs that “chattered its teeth at her” before completely disappearing into the darkness." Dan and Lynze keep the scares coming in this 78th episode of Scared To Death! Dan has the strangest story to kick off episode. It's not what you think and the twist at the end just about sent Lynze over the edge. This story will give you a whole new set of fears. That sound in your attic, might not be what you think it is. And that thing you thought you saw out of the corner of your eye, might not be an apparition. In Dan's second tale, a terrible tragedy seems to be the base for a very haunted former school building in Canada. The building has since been transformed into modern condo's. Are the ghosts of the past haunting the current residents? Lynze brings three juicy tales to her side of the episode. In her first story, we explore the idea that ghosts can be jealous and interfere in our most intimate moments. The story of Brenda and Doug is one that makes you really reconsider your most vulnerable moments. In her second story, Lynze gets all together too excited to try to scare Dan with one helluva creepy clown story! Oh, it's so juicy and will have you hiding all of your dolls. Lastly, in story three, a strange situation in which three people confirm the same thing, never knowing about the other's experiences. How does the evil from the other side seep into our lives?

Hellmouth

"They say that under the ruins atop the former basement of an abandoned church in Stull, Kansas - there exists a sealed staircase that is almost impossible to find. And you don’t want to find it. If you do, and you follow that staircase down far enough on the wrong night, legend has it you can reach one of the seven mouths to Hell itself. And if you do, good luck getting back out…" Dan tells two really amazing stories this week! To kick off the episode, we are off to sunny Los Angeles to the very famous Griffith Park. Is the park haunted? Cursed? Dead bodies have been found on the park grounds somewhat regularly and frequent tragedies lead us to believe that the grounds are a unique place to find many spoopy incidents, but can it be proved? What if you saw a Merry-Go-Round moving on its own, late into the night, with no explanation? Would that be proof enough? Listen to part one of this episode to find out! Next up, Hellmouth! What?! Did you know there are supposedly 7 mouths of Hell? This was all news to Dan and Lynze as they explored the story of Stull, Kansas. Does the Devil himself appear here on Halloween? Is this a portal to Hell? If you find this supposed portal, time moves at supernatural speed and you enter into some kind of trance. Find out what happens to a few people when they come out of the trance and realize how much time has gone by. On the backside of the episode, Lynze has an intense story coming in from a fan who is also a Paranormal Investigator--and so were his parents! It does not get more legit than this!! The story takes all of the right twists and turns and leaves you wanting to know more. In story number two, the question is raised within a family, if their house is haunted or if a family member is haunted! Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

The Watcher

The tale of The Watcher just about put Lynze over the edge. Dan told a very well documented story that would not traditionally fall under the paranormal category but then again, maybe it does. A couple buys a new home, their dream home in fact, only to find out that someone else does not want them to be there. Or do they want them to be there so they can get the "young blood" of their children? The story is terrifying, overwhelming and will add a new reason to be scared. In the second story, Dan goes back to a more traditional story as he shares the tale of a possible shadow person. When a family is certain that they all live in a haunted house, it's really hard to ignore the possibility of a shadow person that can be confirmed by family members and friends alike. Lynze has two stories that somehow feel connected, carrying on the theme of shadow people and what lurks in the dark. In story one, she tells us about a truck driver who has an odd situation arise at his home, after a long day at work. Was that his wife? What happened to his dog? Then, the next story will have you wondering more about attachments. Fan and friend of the show, Ryan, has a long and on going encounter with something or someone.

Corpsewood Manor

"And I started to fall asleep. And then, when I was about half-asleep, laying on my side facing the window, it felt like someone crawled into bed behind me. As I started to wake up and roll over, not really expecting to see anyone, I felt hands on my upper back and I started to panic. I suddenly thought that someone else really was in my bed with me. My mind raced, wondering how they could have gotten in so quietly? Were they already hiding in the closet or something when I entered the room? Was I going to die?" The Salem Witch Trials, kind of. Dan explores the spirits who may still be hanging around, all these years later. He starts off with plenty of history about Salem and the Witch Trials, which is really quite fascinating. The locale of the story takes place in the Joshua Ward House AKA The Merchant Hotel, where you can tempt fate and stay the night. Would you dare to stay there and risk being strangled by a ghost? From Salem, Dan takes us down to Georgia for a more salacious, sexy, steamy story about the Corpsewood Manor. If you let you kids listen to this show and you have any qualms about sex, you might want to skip this one! We hear the story of Dr. Charles Scudder and his bizarre departure from his "normal" life and the hedonistic life he seeks. A chicken coup, a sex dungeon and wild orgies seem to be at the center of this bizarre story where true crime and horror tales collide. During Lynze's portion of the episode, she lighten's things up a tiny bit with a creepy but funny story about a possible cult sighting. The story itself takes place in the deep woods of Atlanta, Michigan which may conjure up memories of Dice Rd. What happens when you mix booze, teenagers and cultiness? For her second story, we travel to Hawaii. Lynze reveals that she thinks Hawaii might be one of the most spiritual places in the US, due to the Polynesian culture. Also, she wonders if Pearl Harbor and the mass casualties have caused additional activity here. Those thoughts aside, this story presents what appears to be a modern day possession.

The Night Spirit

"Eight HUMAN skulls. I froze with fear at the sight of them. I’d never seen actual human skulls up that close before. Who puts them on a gate like that? Why? And now I’d have to climb over them." Thanks to Dan, we all have something new to fear. Have you ever heard of the Bangladeshi Nishi? We sure as hell hadn't and now we wish we didn't know what it was. Dan takes us on two really amazing journeys this week. We start in Bangladesh for the story of an encounter, or maybe 2, with a Nishi. If you don't know.... well now you know. For the second story, Dan brings us back to the US for a story that takes place in North Carolina and more specifically, at The Devil's Tramping Ground. These is this spot in the forest where nothing can or will grow. But why? What is happening here? Local legends and folklore offer a variety of options. Would you risk camping here, knowing the stories? Find out what happens to a couple who tempt fate. Lynze takes us back to college with the story of a possibly haunted dorm. More than haunted, could it simply be a lonely spirit that wants to play? For her second story, we travel to Mexico to hear one that has been handed down from one generation to the next.

The House the Devil Built

"A few days later, after not seeing anyone enter or leave the house since the murders, a friend and neighbor of the Congeliers entered the home through a back door after knocking and getting no answer in the front. And he encountered the terrible smell of flesh beginning to rot. And he found Lyda sitting in a rocking chair… covered in blood… holding the severed heads of both Charles and Essie… singing them a lullaby. " Dan shares the long history and supposed haunting of The House The Devil Built, also known as the Congelier Mansion or The House on Ridge Avenue. No matter what you call it, it's downright creepy. And is it even true? Did the house ever exist and sustain multiple murders followed by multiple hauntings or was it all, simply, folklore. Listen and decide for yourself. Dan's second story explores the very terrifying topic of Dopplegangers. While we know this subject matter freaks Dan out, he really gets under Lynze's skin with it this week. What if a Doppleganger could actually impersonate you and cause havoc in your life? How would you ever prove it wasn't you? Lynze's side of the show is a little bit different this week as she takes on three listener stories that all explore the mystery of what happens when we die, what's on the other side and how do you even know what to think of it all? Story one moves us up to Boston for the miraculous and strangely predicted recovery of a family member. In story two, a fan shares a tale of crossing over to the other side and then coming back. What did he see? What did he learn? And lastly, rounding out the tales is an odd coincidence of someone being haunted by someone their friend knows.

The Man With No Face

"His face was just… blank. He didn’t have a face! How he could he not have a face? I turned around and tried to get away from him. I tried to climb back down and I fell. I could hear him coming after me. He kept letting out these muffled screams.” We are off to Australia, if you believe it's real, for the story of a very famous haunted cave, the Jenolan Caves. Many of us go on tours while we are on vacation. What if you went on a tour and you were the only person who could see an extra tourist, also on the tour? As we listen to Dan share the hauntings of this cave, you will be left to wonder how such a beautiful place could give you such a scare. Keeping in theme with adventures you might go on, Dan attempts to make the woods and hiking a NO-GO for Lynze. In an undisclosed location, there is a "man" with no face, making people disappear. Is he real? Are people disappearing? What kind of control does he have over them that keeps people in the woods for days. Listen in and decided if you still want to spend time in the woods. In Lynze's half of the show, she gives us three stories this week. In the first story, CC tells how a previous episode (69) sends her into a bit of tailspin, reminding her of the horrors of a shadow man or hat man she thought she had dealt with in her younger years. Was it a dream? Her imagination? Or, was he really there? In the second story, Lynze tells us about three cousins who have two back to back experiences. Both instances are bizarre and unnerving. If more than one person experiences something, does that make it more true? Finishing out the episode is a less scary tale but spoopy, none the less. Lynze takes us to Indiana and back in time, where a possible ghost is connected to the infamous H.H. Holmes. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

I Want To Play With You

"The girl then wiped her hair from out of her face and revealed those two pitch-black spots where her eyes should’ve been.She smiled a large open-mouth smiled and revealed teeth that looked predatory - too sharp to be human. Not fangs, exactly, but close. She started to walk towards Nitara and Fatima. Too quickly. “Will you let me in?” she asked, “I need to come inside. To play with you.” Why does Dan do this to Lynze? He knows that the Black Eye Kids are her biggest and most upsetting fear. Lynze is a complete caregiver and knows that if a child was asking her for help, she would never be able to turn them away. In story one of two, Dan explores more of the history of BEK's before diving into this eery tale of a possible encounter with a BEK in a European hotel. Staying abroad, Dan takes us over to Scotland for the tale of the haunted Glamis Castle. What secret is lurking in the hidden passageways of this ancient castle? Lynze tells one, long, harrowing tale of a FOR SURE haunted house in Colorado. When the new owners move in, all is well for quite some time. There was only one warning sign on moving day- all of the windows were lined with foil, from the inside out. After two years of small but harmless signs of someone or something being in the family home, things escalate. Stay until the very end of this odd tale to gain some semblance of confirmation of the haunting. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Dice Road

"Some believe a less-than five mile stretch of this road either is - or has become - some kind of a paranormal corridor or conduit. An area where, for whatever reason, it’s easier for spirits to access or stay." What is going on on Dice Road, in Michigan? Dan takes us all on a terrifying journey, telling us three tales that all take place on Dice Road. There is the tale of the Pommeraning Family, who seem to be having a bit of trouble in their home. Many people are witness to the paranormal activity but no one seems to be able to find the source. Is it real? Where is it coming from? Why is it happening? Then, just about two miles down the road, in either direction, there are two other big tales of paranormal activity. What a crazy place to live, to be totally surrounded by possible ghosts, hauntings, sightings and more! On the back half of the show, Lynze has two super spoopy tales. Dan has a hard time even focusing on the tales because of some strange activity in the studio that occurs during his half of the show. Lynze shares a tale of a haunted house where multiple people have seen the same ghost, over and over. What happens when the ghost of the house starts to escalate her behavior? In story two, we find ourselves in the midst of a story that affects three generations of family members, simultaneously. Is it possible to be deeply connected to others in a way that makes your most terrifying moments a shared experience? Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

Friend 'Til The End

"Now he saw it again. And this time he got a better look. A blurry black figure climbing down from Alex’s bed." Two really intense episode full of so many spoops! For our first story, Dan tells the tale of a very recent haunted doll. And not just any doll, a little girls Elsa doll is the source of some crazy activity. If your kid had a toy that was potentially haunted, you got rid of it and it showed back up at your house- what would you do? After that tale, Dan tells an incredible story about a haunted dorm, kind of. Three new friends seem to encounter an entity that wants more than just a little bit of their attention. On the back half of the episode, Lynze has three really interesting stories, ranging from a family possibly bringing home a spirit that wants to get their attention, a shape shifting doppleganger and an episode of sleep paralysis unlike any other ever covered on Scared To Death.

The Devil's Toy Box

"Know that - this is a dangerous ritual. To go inside the box is to risk bringing something back with you when you leave. Something that may change you forever. Going into the box may prove to you that there are absolutely worlds beyond this one - but it may also - supposedly - destroy you." Have you ever heard of The Devil's Toy Box? A truly intense and terrifying way to contact the other is the basis for Dan's first story this week. He takes us on a journey of three friends who dabble in the occult and find that it's much scarier than they ever thought. Keeping up with the tradition that Dan and Lynze set up last year when Dan told the tale of the Smee, we’ll go back a little further to the Victorian Era of England when ghost stories were extremely popular in the UK, and again, when they were most popular around Christmas. Christmas ’twas the season for horror in the mid and late 19th century for many British Empire nations. Stick around until the end of the story which will leave you wondering who is who?! Lynze mixes it up a bit this week with three tales instead of two. In her first story, we hear the account of a one soldier seeing another soldier in Iraq, in the middle of the night. Or did he? What exactly is out there in the former battlegrounds? In her second, and very quick story, we explore a possible sleep paralysis. As Lynze tells the story, we think it's all of the usual marking of sleep paralysis but then, she revels one final fact that changes it all. Wrapping up the holiday episode, a cautionary tale of things that go bump in your house. What do you do when things go missing, are moved without you noticing? Do you automatically blame a ghost? See what happens when you don't trust your gut when you get the feeling you are being watched. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Backseat Driver

"Recognizing that something abnormal was happening, Steven grabbed his tablet and began filming his wife. Several priests would later watch this video and described what they witnessed as follows: “You humans have your own sense of time,” Louisa told Steven at one point in the video. “I have plenty of time. I have all the time in the world." She then shifted into a staccato whisper. “It’s your wife I want,” she said “not only her body, but her soul.” Dan's stories this week are top notch! A really big, scary episode! We start off in Germany for the tale of the Weiße Frauen, AKA, The White Woman of Bavaria! She is rather sneaky and will have you looking over your shoulder. After that, Dan tells a tale so haunting that Lynze actually started to cry during the episode. Louisa Muskovits is a woman living in Tacoma in 2018 who was, or possibly still is, being oppressed OR possessed by an evil spirit. This tale will shake you to the core. In Lynze's half of the show, we explore a possibly haunted English countryside in. The story may not make you jump out of your skin but it sure will make you think twice about the sound of footsteps. For story two, she takes us to Montana, to explore the possibility of something haunting the woods around an old homestead. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

Choked and Afraid

"And Jackson said, "I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room… she was very scary…. she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old.”Then he added, "It was terrifying actually, a very scary image and she was at the end of the bed and she glided across the room… and disappeared into the wall.I sat in bed and thought, have I really seen that?” Dan takes us all on a journey to two places that Dan and Lynze love or dream of visiting! Kicking the show off is the tale of the St. James Theater in Wellington, New Zealand. Famed Film Director, Peter Jackson backs up the theories about the "Wailing Woman" who lives here. The story has a big build up to a stage hand possibly being harmed by this malevolent spirit. The "Wailing Woman" isn't the only spirit living in the St. James Theater. Find out how many spirits might be here, the good and the bad, and a little bit of history in this tale. For the second story, we jump over to NOLA, one of Dan and Lynze's most favorite places on earth, to explore one the most famous, most dark tales of Madame Delphine LaLaurie. While you may know the story of Madame LaLaurie, you surely haven't heard this tale of a spirit from the home trying to reach out to the living! Lynze has her usual two tales this week. Her first story touches on one of Dan's biggest fears: Mirrors. Can you make contact with the other side, via a mirror, even when you aren't trying? Can a spirit convince you to do something you normally wouldn't do? And what if the person being tricked is just a child? Check out story one for this spoopy tale. In Lynze's second tale, you are going to want to hang on until the very end. Sure, she might just be sharing an odd experience of a possibly haunted house but what if it were happening to you and what if you could hear it but you couldn't see it? Dig into this tale with us! For our December Patreon donation, we ended up donating to the Cult of the Curious Giving Tree. The Cult of the Curious, if we haven't described it here before - is the private Facebook group for the Timesuck podcast- and many Creeps and Peepers also listen to that podcast and are in that group. We donated a little over $10,000 of this month’s overall Patreon contribution from both Scared to Death and Timesuck to buy gifts for listeners in need. And then fans started sending in money. The Cult of the Curious donated almost exactly $15,000. And we said we’d match that, so now Lynze and I are giving another $15,000 to raise the total to a little over $40,000. We’ll be sending presents - lots of presents - to EIGHTY different Cult of the Curious households. Sorry we didn’t advertise it HERE, but, the response from Timesuck’s fans overwhelmed us so quickly - we knew we already wouldn’t be able to help everyone who wrote in and we didn’t want to disappoint more people. NEXT YEAR - we will be sure to spread the word for the now annual Bad Magic Giving Tree to Creeps and Peepers as well.

The Whaley House

“Excuse me, Omar,” she said. “Did you just drop off that other woman?”“What other woman?” said Omar. Kathy thought he was joking for a moment and then realized he was 100 % serious. She was so confused. She had CLEARLY seen another woman in the backseat with her. She’d looked at several times. She was only two feet away sitting there plain as day. “The woman who was sitting right beside me just a few minutes ago. Blonde hair, blue short sleeved shirt.” Omar turned the radio down. “No, ma’am,” he said. “There was no other woman there.” The tales that Dan weaves this week are top notch. During story number one, we explore the idea of a haunted car ride. What would you do if there was another passenger in a car but you were the only person who could see the passenger? And what if you were in a cab? Or an Uber? What would you do? In story number two, we go to the famous haunting of The Whaley House. A long haunted and well known haunted home, a home that was once called The Most Haunted House in America. In the second half of the show, Lynze takes a literal deep dive into a potentially haunted underwater cave in Vortex Springs. Was something trying to connect with a diver? Was there a warning of danger coming from the other side? In her second story, Lynze shares a fan story about a haunted doll. If you could not prove that a doll was haunted, would you get rid of it? Would you keep looking for more signs? Find out what this fan does when she suspects her new porcelain is the source of unexplained activity.

La Isla de las Muñecas/Island of the Dolls

"The feeling of being watched returned. It wasn’t an unusual feeling to get, out in a country road. Animals were often watching from the bushes, deer or sometimes even mountain cats… but this was different. The thing that watching him felt…. smart. Dave couldn’t explain how. It just did.Then, from inside the house, he heard a crash rang out. And then he heard something else that make his skin crawl. It didn’t sound sinister exactly, not at first. But he definitely didn’t like it… a low chanting. Followed by the sound of a baby crying. “What the Hell was going on tonight?,” he wondered. Was there a full moon? Two full moons somehow? He’d just left a baby back in the car. And now he’s hearing another baby? And chanting?" Happy Thanksgiving, Creeps and Peepers! Much thanks for all of our fans, Robert's and Annabelle's! On today's show, Dan takes us all to one of the strangest places we have ever gone on Scared to Death, The Island of the Dolls. Why in the world would a man just up and leave him family to live, alone and secluded, on an island that he then COVERS in dolls? After years of living on the island, why does this man turn up dead? What have others discovered when visiting The Island of the Dolls? Are the dolls alive? Possessed? Is it all in their imaginations? From Mexico City, Dan takes us to Colorado. More specifically, we are going to Riverdale Road. This road is know by many to be extremely haunted. Listen to Dan share a tale of three credible witnesses who are lured in by the spirit of women with a decaying face, a woman who tries to burn them alive. Lynze pulls us back to more traditional stories. She also starts in Mexico and shares a long standing family story from a fan. Carrying on the theme of family stories, Lynze shares a tale from Donna, Dan's little sister, and her creepy kids. In both stories, we are left to wonder if kids are more prone to see ghosts and if so, why? Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

It Feels Alive

TW: This first story is graphic in every way. "But this was different. She didn’t know who or what was responsible for these new noises that always came with a feeling of dread. Those noises weren’t the ones she was hearing now….She’d hear what sounded like someone walking… kind of. The gait wouldn’t sound quite right for a person.She’d heard an ominous, menacing, slow shuffle. And it would be accompanied by other unsettling noises - like the sound someone dragging something - scraping something - slowly across the wall. She’s feel the energy of the whole hosuse shift when she heard all this. It felt more observant somehow. It felt alive." For the first time in Scared To Death history, NO ANNOUNCEMENTS! Woohoo! Kicking it right off with the good stuff, Dan dives into the story of The Haunting of Doris Bither which was the inspiration for the 1978 novel and the 1983 movie, The Entity. It's an interesting and well documented story. How would you react if 30 people crammed into your bedroom and witnessed the paranormal activity you had been claiming was ruining your life? Does that make it real? Listen in to hear this juicy and tragic tale! In Dan's second tale, he explores the possibility of a supposed Ghost Ship, the Mary Celeste. That's not a ship haunted by ghosts but rather, a ship that is found out at sea with no signs of life or death! In Lynze's half of the show, she shares not two but three tales this week! She starts out with a story that will make you think about how old a ghost might be and if ghosts come back to visit on the anniversary of their deaths. In story number two, we head up to visit our friends in Canada to hear the story of The Raven House, a house that might make you wonder if good ghosts and bad ghosts have some kind of relationship in their world. Can a good ghost protect you from a bad ghost? In the final story of the show, Lynze brings back a favorite kind of spirit, the jinn (also, djinn).

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall

"Just then on the opposite side of my room, I watched this dark, smoky, human-like form crawl up my wall, each step it took made a tsssss (like water on a frying pan sound) and smoke was coming from each hand and foot connection with my wall." This week Dan takes from England to Malaysia, such a fun show! To kick off the show, Dan shares an old but interesting tale from Raynham Hall. Did a pair of photographers catch The Brown Lady (it's a reference to her dress!) ascending the stairs? Can it really be proven? What happens when its been centuries of people seeing a ghost; does it make it more possible. Lynze really buys into the idea that this ghost is real. From there, we pop over to Malaysia to learn the folkloric tale of the penanggalan- a bodyless woman whose insides trail behind her as she attacks her victims. Is she real? Listen as two very logical people have a strange and frightening encounter with what they believe to be a penanggalan. In the back half of the show, Lynze has one heck of a creepy story about something haunting a child. While the story has a slow start make sure you stay tuned for the MAJOR plot twist! After that, let's head over to the forests of Michigan. (This is where all people from Ohio groan. Not the "M" word...) What would you do if you saw an old man in the woods? Would you offer him help or would you GTFO? ALSO! In honor of Veteran’s Day we are making a Bad Magic Productions donation of $10,000 to https://veteransfoodpantry.org/ this month. This money comes from the combination of the Timesuck and Scared to Death Patrons. We’ve been doing for a few years on Timesuck - so happy to be doing here now as well. Thank you Roberts and Annabelles! We are so proud and grateful to be able to come together as a community to donate to this incredible cause.

The Nightmare Man

"They continued to hear the sounds of footsteps behind them. Getting louder. Gaining on them. Their only source of hope was the soft breeze constantly flowing through from the opposite end. The cool, dry air. Finally - they reached a t-shaped intersection. Which way to turn?" In another fun week of spoopy fun, Dan shares two incredible stories. Our first story takes us to Oregon, just outside of Portland. Two friends take an adventure into a supposedly haunted mental hospital that is home to tunnels that connect to another abandoned building. Do they encounter an angry entity? Do they run into a former patient? Was it all in their heads? For Dan's second tale, it is short and not-so-sweet. Lynze hates the ending of this one; what do you think about an unfinished tale? In the second half of the show, Lynze takes us to a possible haunting in Bozeman, Montana, in an old forest service lookout. Was it a ghost that entered this space? Was someone sleep walking? And who took the dog out in the middle of the night? For story number two, a fan submission makes us wonder if mirrors truly are a portal for spirits.

Poveglia Island Haunting

"She tried to turn to follow him but she couldn’t. She was tied down. She couldn’t move. She could see the dark layout of the tent and cast her eyes around for the unseen presence. 

Then she heard it. 

Coming from right above her left ear, a sound like a drill." A quote from the first of Dan's two stories this week. A supposedly haunted island off the coast of Italy, Poveglia takes us on a journey that makes us question, what CAN a spirit, a doctor no less, do to us, from the other side. A few friends travel to the island in search of fun and get so much more than they bargained for. In Dan's second story of the week, we travel to China to talk about a possible/probably alien abduction. In the listener told stories, Lynze prompts us with a question about how possible it may be to control what you see of the other world. In story number two, Lynze goes far outside of her comfort zone to bring you a story about aliens and the plans they might have for a very special father and daughter.

Slit-Mouthed Woman

"He ended up taking his sword to her face. He sliced open her cheeks from the corners of her mouth to her ears, and then he asked her, “Who will think you’re beautiful now?” A quote from the first of Dan's two stories this week. This first tale takes us to Japan for a haunting story about the Slit-Mouthed Woman. Once you see her, you are almost guaranteed to die. Or are you? Is there a way to avoid being drawn in by this mysterious woman and losing your life to her? The second story takes us back to Idaho! We are going to Idaho Falls once again. What is going on down there? Is this part of Idaho particularly haunted? Let's find out. For the second half of the show, Lynze shares the occasional three fan stories to switch it up. All of the stories have a similar vibe about unknown entities in various situations, each affecting the listeners in different ways. The final of the three stories is the most disturbing. Do you think that child ghosts could be luring other children to the other side so they might have a forever playmate? Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

“Join Us.”

"He was in Scarlett’s room in seconds, flinging his door open before bounding down the hall and quickly popping into his daughter’s room where she was sitting up in her bed. And he immediately saw that something was sitting with her..." A quote from our first story. We head to Idaho for both tales today. First, we share some encounters a woman claims she and her family experienced shortly after moving into a Pocatello apartment. Then, we head to Pocatello High School, were security camera footage emerged in 2014 of what appears to be a shadowy humanoid entity. And we share a tale of a former high school custodian encountering something terrible in the band room. Lynze closes out the show by sharing some disturbing listener tales.

Pulled Under

"He thrashed against whatever was holding him, desperately trying to kick himself free. The woman in blue smiled and he then heard what he knew was her voice inside his head. 'Stay…. stay…'” A quote from our second story. For our first tale today, we explore the Cajun legend of the Cauchemar, a specific, demonic spiritual presence believed by some living in and around certain parts of Louisiana to harm them after it invades their dreams. And for the second story, we head to Georgia for tales to stories revolving around the first haunted body of water we’ve talked about so far here on Scared to Death - Lake Lanier.

Footsteps in the Dust

“Just stay upstairs,” he thought to himself. “Whatever you are, just please stay upstairs...” A quote from today's second of two opening tales! Today's first story is another black-eyed kid encounter story. Kind of. A woman in New Hampshire has claimed to have witnessed two different black-eyed entities on two different occasions. In the next story, we explore the many ghosts of Amherstburg, Ontario. The Canadian town is full of all kinds of alleged paranormal activity and we share several sightings, ending on one particularly in-depth and disturbing story. Lynze closes out the show by sharing two listener-submitted reports of living in haunted homes. Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Black Door

"Chase began to walk down the hallway. His legs were heavy. He was afraid of what was behind the last door. The black door..." A quote from today's second of two opening tales! Had a great time recording the first episode of the second year of the show. We start with the mysterious disappearances of Charlie Ashmore and Ambrose Bierce. Then, we explore the dark side of hypnosis. What if you were hypnotized by someone who did not have your best interests in mind? A strange, unnerving hypnosis-related tale awaits you.

Ghost Ship

"Then, he felt the air around him get heavier and heavier until it no longer felt like air at all. It felt like water. It felt like he was drowning." A quote from today's first tale. Our first story centers on the haunted history of the RMS Queen Mary - supposedly the world's most haunted ship, currently operating as a hotel in Long Beach, California. How many spirits from its days as a transatlantic liner still haunt its labyrinth of cabins, hallways, and various decks? Our second story is all about "La Pascualita," the world's most infamous mannequin. Is the mannequin possessed? Is it the corpse of a long dead bridal shop's daughter? After these two creepy stories, Lynze shares some intense listener tales of encounters with the unknown. Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Demon House

"She claimed to witness the boy walked backwards up a wall all the way to the ceiling…before flipping over and landing on his feet." A quote from today's second tale. Our first story is an exposition of the ritualistic murder of LeRoy Carter, Jr. in San Francisco, California, in 1981. What dark god may he have been sacrificed to? Our second story is a modern haunting classic - the Ammons house aka the House of 200 demons made infamous by Zak Bagans. Hope you like the way I tell this tale.

Haunted Asylum

"...the steam soon revealed a message. She could just make out the finger-scrawled words… “Why did you hurt us?” A quote from today's first tale. Today we open up with two asylum-related paranormal tales. The first comes from Salem, Oregon - the long, haunted history of the facility once called “The Oregon State Hospital for the Insane,” and a recent encounter. Our second story is the urban legend of the Melon Heads. Disturbing folklore coming primarily from Ohio and Michigan. And then Lynze shares two listener tales that are very hard to rationalize away as being anything other than paranormal. Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

The Amityville Horror

"Kathy wakes up with red welts that have formed a trail from just above her pubic hair to just under her breast. They feel hot to the touch. It was like something had slashed and burned her..." A quote from today's second story. Our first tale is about the Shadow Man - one man's tale of a series of intense encounters that lasted for several years of his childhood. Our second story is one of my favorite paranormal events ever - the basis for the book and movie, The Amityville Horror. The story of the Lutz family's 28 day experience with something evil in a home where the previous family to live there had been murdered by their grown son. And Lynze shares two creepy listener tales. Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Attic Family

"How many more steps until it was directly behind her? Ten? Twelve? She could now see a shadow emerging on the cracked white walls above her..."A quote from today's second story. Our first tale today is the story of former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal claiming to witness a case of demonic possession while studying at Oxford University in 1994. Our second account is of one woman's encounter with paranormal entities in the attic of her grandmother's home during her final visit to the house after it was condemned.

Mirrors & Monsters

"...as Angie and Jamal both screamed, their mirror images turned and walked back towards, and then into, their room..." A quote from today's second story. Both of today's tales involve mirrors. The first story is all about the Mirror Man of the Midnight Mirror Ritual. If you want to perform this ritual, you're braver than we are. The second story is about a young couple bringing home what appears to be an intensely haunted antique. And then Lynze closes out the show with two listener stories, one of which may involve the Wendigo. Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

The Haunted Villa Montezuma

"She eventually found herself looking at a set of stairs... down to the basement, she presumed. Then she heard a voice say in her ear, “I wouldn’t go down there, if I were you.” A quote from today's second story. Both of today's tales take place in San Diego, California. The first involves the mysterious death of of Michelle von Emster. Why can't anyone definitively determine how she died? How does one's femur bone end up "whittled?" The next story takes us to San Diego's haunted Villa Montezuma. Did years of séances open a door that has never been closed?

Missing Time

"She quickly realized…. something was circling her and Crina. Something that moved through the woods way faster than a human could..." A quote from today's first tale. We start with a look into Hoia Baciu - Romania's most haunted forest. So many tales of strange disappearances, UFO sightings, paranormal encounters, strange episodes of missing time, and more have been so frequently reported, the forest has acquired the nickname, "The Bermuda Triangle of Romania.” For our second story, we look into the infamous alien abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Is their tale based on nothing more than false memories induced via hypnosis, or, were they really abducted and examined by extraterrestrials? And then Lynze shares two creepy listener tales.

Poltergeist

"Barbara said it all began with a series of scratching noises and knocking heard coming from inside the walls." A quote from today's first tale. We start with two heavily witnessed and documented stories about poltergeist activity. The first occurred in St. Catherine's Canada in 1970. The second occurred in Seaford, New York in 1958. Two homes plagued with paranormal events that numerous people witnessed, including police officers and members of the press. Two manifestations of... something... that disappeared as quickly and mysteriously as it first appeared. And then Lynze shares two listener tales and an update to a previous listener story, and we end on some creative audio fan fiction put together by awesome fan, Roman Sachno.

Evil Doppelgängers

"I whipped around and saw that my mother - my REAL mother - had just walked in the house. When I turned around, the creature at the end of the hall was gone..." A quote from today's second tale.

The Rake

"I was about to cry out in pain when I saw it. At the foot of the bed, sitting and facing away from us, was what looked like a naked man, or a large, hairless dog..." A quote from today's first tale, the story of “The Rake.” The Rake seems to be some type of cryptid allegedly lurking primarily in the Northeastern US. After going over several supposed encounters, we head to a creepy little patch of forest just southwest of Birmingham, England known as the Hagley Wood to look at an encounter two young men had with some mysterious robed figures that may be connected to a 1940s murder.

The Bell Witch

"A tap-tap-tap would sometimes be heard against a living room window. Something outside that couldn’t be seen out in the dark of the Tennessee wilderness was perhaps now looking in..." A quote from today's second of four stories - the tale of the Bell Witch. This early 19th century Tennessee story about a malicious, spiteful spirit rumored to have antagonized the Bell family and many others around them for several years is one of America's most famous paranormal horror accounts. The first story is an encounter with New Mexico's La Mala Hora - the "Evil Hour" also known as "The Evil One," a spirit you don't want to drive past at a crossroads. And then Lynze shares two interesting accounts that lend far too much credence to the possibility that the things that go bump in the night exist in more than our imaginations.

Crescent Hotel Horrors

"...when they walked to the bathroom for a glass of water in the middle of the night, they saw two hands coming out of the bathroom mirror, grasping as though looking for something to pull them up.

Stalker

"...he saw the back of a figure standing at the bed, bent over the sleeping little boy.

Don't Let Them In

"She heard something make it to the door outside their room and then stop. And then she heard and saw the doorknob jiggle - like someone was just about to let themselves in, and she screamed..." A quote from today's second of two tales. Our first tale is the story of Popobawa, a cryptid that is reported to have had attacked several villagers on Zanzibar's Pemba Island several times since the 1970s. Our second story takes us to Haverfordwest, Wales, where a young couple gets the deal of a lifetime on a downtown home that quickly turns from their dream house into their worst nightmare.

Satanic Panic

"...in order to keep being protected, they had to pay a Satanic toll of sacrificial blood and human souls..." A quote from today's second of two Satanic tales. Our first story is one of a young Wiccan who believes that four decades ago he followed his curiosity about the dark side of the occult straight into Hell itself. Our second story goes over some very spooky and real crime details revolving around a small group of Satanists who sacrificed at least three women to Lucifer in some haunted woods near Fall River, Massachusetts in 1979 and 1980.

Burned Alive

"...late one night, laying in his bed, surrounded by that strange oppressive feeling... a new source of fear emerged from the darkness..." A quote from today's second tale. Our first story offers a further explanation of one of the items in our studio - a Dybbuk box. I'll explain the historical basis for this box and I’ll also share a modern tale involving this ancient monster trapper. Our second story involves a young boy who witnessed the terrible death of a stranger, and then appears to have been either haunted by the angry spirit of that unfortunate man or by some other dark entity that preyed on his memory of that gruesome death in order to inflict further psychological harm. Hope both tales leave you Scared to Death! We start sharing stories next week. Please send your stories to [email protected] (we will start reading some in future episodes).

Haunted From the Future

"The face of the woman inched towards her own as if it would soon open its mouth and devour her. Beatrice closed her eyes and began to pray..." A quote from today's first tale - the exploration of the possibility that perhaps some apparitions are not the remnants of the once living, but the psychic projection of the still alive. Was a Cornish woman named Beatrice somehow presented with a vision of an evil encounter that had never happened but would years later? Our second story is the tale of Kentucky's Carl Pruitt, the "Chain Strangler." Urban legend or real revenant? A mixture of both? If a ghost can go bump in the night, or turn off a light, or move items around a room - can it also kill you?

The Beast

"He awoke in the middle of the night to what he described as 'a man with big black eyes, a thin face with animal features and jagged teeth, pointed ears, horns, and hoofs' standing above him..." A quote from today's second tale - the "Devil Made Me Do It" demonic possession of both David Glatzel and Arne Johnson in 1981 that ended in another man's murder. Our first tale is "The Northfleet Horror," a story of an incredible amount of malevolent poltergeist activity that caused three separate families to move out of a building in Northfleet, England in 1962.

Making New "Friends"

"Meanwhile, Robbie continued to use his Ouija board, a board he now hid from his family, to talk to his aunt Harriet and her new “friends." A quote from today's second tale - the exorcism of Robbie Mannheim aka Roland Doe (his real name remains hidden), the story that inspired the infamous 1973 horror film, "The Exorcist." A fourteen-year-old used his Ouija board to try and contact his deceased and beloved aunt after her death in 1949. And he did seem to contact "something." What was it? Our first tale involves a Portuguese encounter with a red-eyed shadow person. What did Daniel Pestana witness late one night in Libson? Which story scares you out the most?

A Killer in the Attic

"Each murder victim had been killed the same way, with a single and a powerful blow with the mattock to the head." A quote from today's second tale - the Hinterkaifeck Farm family mass-murder mystery of 1922. Did something or someone hide in the Hinterkaifeck family's attic for roughly six months before killing the five members of the Hinterkaifeck family living there and their new maid with a German pickaxe? Our first tale is the story of numerous active spirits that may haunt Madison, Mississippi’s gothic chapel, The Chapel of the Cross, to this day. Which story scares you/creeps you out the most?

Visibly Shaken

"Daddy, the basement monster is standing in the upstairs window...." A quote from today's first tale - the haunting of the LaChance family in the "Screaming House" of Union, Missouri. They would last less than a month in this aggressively haunted house. Our second tale is one man's account of a run-in with two black-eyed children.
