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!!!

Hello Creeps and Peepers! In this fourth piece of horror fiction written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we meet a strange child's doll, Sam, found by a young boy, Jack, when he and his sister and mother moved into a new home following the death of Jack's father. Sam looks like she comes from another world, and she does, and her world is full of nothing but evil... This episode is scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to get the full effect of all the creepy background noises! If you like this episode, please let us know wherever you rate and review podcasts.

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.

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!!!

The tale of a mysterious beast that's been brutally killing men for decades in the former gold rush town of Bodie, California.

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.

Dan has a murder-mystery-nightmare double header this week. I have a murder mystery double feature. The story of a woman harassed by a psychopath, both before AND after her death, was she not harassed by a psychopath, but something else? The second story is another report of a young woman being murdered under strange circumstances regarding her possible killer, and allegations of a haunting that has followed her death. 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. And then wrapping up the episode, our fan story takes us back to the Pennhurst Asylum. Scholarship: Round two of The Cummins Family Scholarship Fund, presented by Bad Magic is here! Sort of.

Happy Valentine's Day, Creeps and Peepers! Dan's first story is set in the beautiful Micronesia. We’ll visit one person’s claim of what happened to them while doing some scuba diving amongst the WW2 wreckage of Chuuk Lagoon, a supposedly very haunted underwater graveyard. 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. Her first is a more lighthearted but still awesome haunted house story where all of the ghosts living there ban together for a common cause. He final story takes us to Vermont and the Bennington Triangle. Scholarship: Round two of The Cummins Family Scholarship Fund, presented by Bad Magic is here! Sort of.

Dan has two tales that have an unintentional North America indigenous peoples theme for today’s show. The first is the story of the Santa Fe’s De Vargas Street House, a story that surrounds one of the very one oldest houses in all of America. Then, for his second story we hear the lore of Spearfinger. Lynze has her usual two stories, both revolving around phones.

For Dan's first story in this poltergeist double feature, we head to Birmingham, England. In the Fall of 2021, Christine Evans claims her family was brutally tormented by an intense amount of disturbing paranormal activity. And the second story is full of roughly the same activity - activity to allegedly have occurred in Fermanagh County, Ireland over a century earlier in the story of the Cooneen Poltergeist. Lynze has two tales, the first of which is really wild! She shares with us a police officers mysterious encounter with a shadow person. Then its off the the swamps of Florida where we hear about a couple of friends shared experience with a creature of the unknown.

In a strange twist, both Dan and Lynze only have one story each this week! Dan's is a big one that takes us to Las Vegas, where we’ll learn about a lot of people who have died at the Luxor Hotel and Casino followed by a modern encounter tale from a woman who claims she had a terrifying encounter at the hotel when she stayed there as a little kid. Then, Lynze brings us a new scary creature, the nephilim. This final tale takes place around a hunting experience in Louisiana.

Dan has two fun stories this week for you! The first is the story of a convent in Milwaukee that reportedly experienced over a year’s worth of paranormal activity in the mid-19th century. Then we hear the cajun legend of the Feu Follet, a mysterious light from Louisiana folklore described as a mysterious and paranormal “sinister force” that leads people to their deaths. Then Lynze gives us three tales! Her first two surround the hospitality industry and her last story is a head scratcher- is it an attachment, a haunted house or something else?!

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!

Happy 2024! While we recorded this in 2023, we too are excited to get to 2024 and kick off this amazing year! Thank you for your continued support! Dan and Lynze each have two tales this week! Dan will share a story about a strange encounter with something in a liquor store and then a story about an airport ghost. Both tales feel like visitors or places we have not explored yet! Then comes in Lynze with two great shares. The first is about a haunted house in Warren, MA. And then a camping tale that we ponder about being a warning or not!

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. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Patreon Monthly Donation: What an amazing effort on the Giving Tree this year! It’s crazy to see y’all coming together to love and support our most vulnerable community members, the kids! You, the fans, donated an additional $17,100 in gift cards! CRAZY!!

Welcome to Dan's traditional holiday tales! While his first story will be a modern, supposedly true horror story that has nothing to do with the holidays, his second will be a tale from Charles Dickens!

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.
