True horror fan Dan Cummins attempts to terrify his wife Lynze with two new alleged-to-be-true tales each week. Demonic possession, poltergeists, shadow people, and more! Subscribe and listen in the dark to your new weekly nightmare.

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's  first story is really three stories mixed with some local lore. First, after going over the kinds of paranormal encounters most often reported from people visiting Virginia’s Braley, we explore the story of a murder that took place that that has added to its reputation as a paranormal hotspot. Then, we’ll go over what an area ghost hunter claims happened to them there. And finally, a young woman’s terrifying modern encounter claim.  After that, we’ll be off to Canada to cover a whole bunch of lore associated with numerous sightings of a night hag in Newfoundland. Lynze shares just one big story this week about a less scary but rather helpful spiritual hitchhiker!   New Merch:  The official merch for our 3rd annual Haunted Halloween Show is here! VERY cool and creepy illustration from Logan depicting a ghostlike face screaming in terror.  You can also grab tickets to our October 13th event at  <a href="http://badmagicmerch.com">badmagicmerch.com</a>  Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, we are headed to camp! And with that, we work hand in hand with the host camp, Camp No Counselors, to seek a worthy camp related non profit. We landed on Morry’s Camp, also known as Project Morry. Project Morry was born out of summer camp pioneer Morry Stein’s dream that all children, regardless of economic status, should experience the life-changing gift of summer camp. Beginning as a summer camp experience, Project Morry has grown into a comprehensive year-round youth development organization, with Morry’s Camp still at the heart of our program. What I love about this non profit is that the support for under served children does not stop at summer camp. Project Morry is committed to closing opportunity gaps that exist in our community and working to ensure young people from under-resourced communities graduate high school ready for college, careers and life.  The bartenders at Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer camp are joining us by committing to donating 100% of their tips to Project Morry as well so our total for this month will be announced later. Until then, if you want to learn more, please visit <a href="http://projectmorry.org/">projectmorry.org</a>Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd (she is always happy to say HI!) get on over to   <a href="http://dancummins.tv/">dancummins.tv</a> for ticket links to shows.

Scared To Death

The Bell Island Hag

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has standard two spoopy stories for you this week. The first is a modern encounter set in the Missouri State Penitentiary. We will go over its long history of infamous prisoners and  its paranormal lore as well before ending with the encounter tale. Then we go to Pendleton, South Carolina to check out some claims coming from the supposedly haunted Woodburn plantation. Lynze has two stories for us this week and both have a similar theme. The first up is the tale of a watchful soldier and then the second, a less than desirable situation when a cop pulls someone over.   New Merch:   We've got a fun new simple 4 year anniversary design in store now to celebrate a big milestone! Limited design available on a tee or sweatshirt. A cool handwritten 'Scared to Death' with the A in death being... 4.

It Came From The Dungeon

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has a story about a home in San Francisco that was reportedly infested with a LOT of paranormal activity for several months in the mid-19th century. It is unusually well-documented amount of activity witnessed by many. Then his second story takes us to Arkansas where we explore a haunting set in the unique location of the Plum Bayou Mounds Archeological State Park, formerly known as "Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park.” Lynze has four tales this week making it a longer episode, yay! She has two possible skinwalker sightings, an encounter with the folk lore of the Irish Banshee and then a really intense doppleganger story! New Merch:   We are proud to announce the official poster and tee for an upcoming blockbuster film that will never be made called, CANOE… featuring of course… Canoe Reeves.

Fire On The Mound

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? You decide.HAUNTED HALLOWEEN SHOW!  We are excited to announce  that we are doing another Scared to Death Live Show - Haunted Halloween - True Tales of Hallow’s Eve Horror THREE!
