Scared To Death

"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.

Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: Also, excited to announce the February charity donation. Thanks Roberts and Annabelles for helping us donate $12,200 to No Kid Hungry dot org.Before this crisis, millions of hungry kids relied on school for food. For many, it was the only food they might get on a given day.But even as schools and communities work to feed students while many school buildings remain closed, children are missing the meals they need. And with many parents out of work, more children in the United States are facing hunger than ever before.

No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world.
After 25 years of successfully investing in local nonprofits and helping find the best approaches to eradicating poverty and hunger, Share Our Strength launched No Kid Hungry in 2010.As a child hunger organization, ending childhood hunger is their primary focus, though Share Our Strength continues to invest in and develop other campaigns.

"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. Hold on tight!

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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?

"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.

"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.

"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.

Opening Sumerian protection spell (adapted):
"Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no home… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a demon or a ghoul… Whatever thou be until thou art removed… thou shalt find here no water to drink… Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand to our own… Into our house enter thou not. Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."

"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.

Thank you Roberts and Annabelles for taking a lot of fear OUT of the holidays for many this year.

Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!
