Scared To Death

The Nurse's Office - Scared To Death

The Nurse's Office

Released on 03/05/2025

Dan's first of two stories is centered around a school nurse who claims her encounter literally ended her career. It’s very intense, and not fun to think that what she claims to have witnessed could be real.  For his second story, Dan will share the haunted lore of South Carolina’s Oakwood Cemetery,  and an encounter that took place there. Lynze gives us two spoopy tales and one heart-warming story of confirmation. Her first story takes out to the woods where a bunch of kids party with the unknown. Then, someone is joined in bed by a not-so-comforting visitor. And finally, a beautiful story of a mom speaking to her son from the great beyond. 

Bad Magic New Merch Monday: Introducing the Scared to Death Snakes Tee featuring a prominent classic sigil icon surrounded by some serious spoopy snakes. We also have this illustration available on a tank top for the upcoming sunny weather season! AND it made for a sweet mousepad design so check that out as well.  Also available now, the official employee uniform tee for all non civilian facing ANEEW employees. We also have new hats!!

The Exorcism Of Joan Vollmer

Released on 02/26/2025

The first tale this week is the disturbing story of an exorcism that took place in a small town in Australia in 1993. It is upsetting on so many levels. Then Dan shares the lore and modern encounters surrounding the abandoned Manteno  State Hospital south of Chicago. Real life horror, and paranormal horror. Lynze shares one of the best and strangest ouija board fan tales ever! Then she wraps up the episode with what she calls her favorite UFO story to date!

There's A Little Boy Up There - Scared To Death

There's A Little Boy Up There

Released on 02/19/2025

Dan's first story today is the retelling of the moments that led to one young woman becoming a firm believer in the paranormal. She sees something… experiences something… that she just can’t deny.  Then, we’ll explore the lore behind a curse associated with New Hampshire and Maine’s Saco River. Lynze brings three fan stories. The first is an intense reminder to steer clear of ouija boards. Then, a creepy but not too creepy telling of ghost that has seemed to linger in the same machine shop for thirty or so years. Then, to finish out the show, a really bothersome story about a possessed stuffy!

He's In My Phone - Scared To Death

He's In My Phone

Released on 02/12/2025

Dan shares a tale around a young man thinking he’s being haunted by something in his phone. It's a sad tale, it's a creepy tale. Then, his second story covers some of the lore that surrounds California’s Lost Lake. What spirits and also creatures might be hiding in and around its water? Lynze shares three fan submissions this week. The first two come from one fan and potentially show what we can access if we are open. Then, in her final story, a very peculiar story that might be an alien story as suggested by the submitter... but maybe not. 

Hang out with Dan and Lynze (and some other amazing creators) this November at CrimeWaveAtSea! A spoopy cruise! crimewaveatsea.com/scared

Are You Cheating On Me? - Scared To Death

Are You Cheating On Me?

Released on 02/05/2025

Dan's first of two stories today is not sexy, despite being about a succubus. It's strange and upsetting.  His second story was once featured on  the original Unsolved Mysteries. It’s the tale of a young woman, Grace Brown, putting her trust in the wrong man over a century ago.  And it seems, in death, she still hasn’t been able to move past how her life so tragically and abruptly ended. Then, Lynze takes us to Australia! It's real, we promise. What kind of horrors and creatures are hiding in the bush? Then we finish with an unsettling entity+dream warning combo.

The Woman In The Mirror - Scared To Death

The Woman In The Mirror

Released on 01/29/2025

Dan's first of two stories takes us to London where two flatmates hung up a free mirror and very quickly regretted it. Then a heavily documented poltergeist story, coming from Indianapolis, Indiana back in 1962. Lynze brings us a tale from a patient in the ICU and her brush with something paranormal. And then we head to El Salvador, maybe for the first time on this show, to explore that culture and their beliefs about skinwalkers.
