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. Lynze taps into two fears we can all relate to: dark and lonely rest stops and dark and scary basements! Enjoy! Scared to Death Live Hau...

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. The second story is the Legend of Goatman’s Bridge. Who or what is the Goatman and how did he - or it - come to haunt a little rural area of T...

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has his usual two tales! The first REALLY gives goosebumps. This is the most wicked haunted or cursed or possessed doll we’ve come across so far! Next, we’ll head to the Appalachian Trail and look at a couple examples of uncomfortable and frightening encounters with dark figures that not only have been reported to watch hikers, but also to kidnap and attack them. If you believe these reports to be true, this story is...

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...

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 extreme...

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 pert...

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 s...

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 ...

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 activ...

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 o...

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.

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...

Episode Notes SCARED 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 ente...

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 re...

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING Dan kicks off the show with the haunted lore that surrounds Kentucky’s Bobby Mackey’s Music World. 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.

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING This first story is insane! Dan found this one in a deep, dark corner of the web. We are off to Georgia for a unique and twisted story of reincarnation. Then in his second story, Dan brings us a true crime/paranormal combo! We are going to explore some paranormal encounters possibly related to Lizzie Borden. Lynze explores the negative energy of a house and what it could lead you to do. Can an evil spirit be haunting you ...

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 so...

Today we visit the Olde Harbour Inn, where a creepy, seemingly male ghost, likes to crawl into bed with female guests. A very disturbing modern encounter story to accompany some lore. Then, we head to one of America’s oldest city, St Augustine, Florida, to share legends and encounters that accompany it’s supposedly haunted lighthouse. Thir...

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. Ne...

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING Dan'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 t...

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING This 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 - ...

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 ...

"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 occurrenc...

“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 experienc...

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 En...

"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 ...

"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 tryin...
