Scared To Death

"A tap-tap-tap would sometimes be heard against a living room window. Something outside that couldn’t be seen out in the dark of the Tennessee wilderness was perhaps now looking in..."

A quote from today's second of four stories - the tale of the Bell Witch. This early 19th century Tennessee story about a malicious, spiteful spirit rumored to have antagonized the Bell family and many others around them for several years is one of America's most famous paranormal horror accounts. The first story is an encounter with New Mexico's La Mala Hora - the "Evil Hour" also known as "The Evil One," a spirit you don't want to drive past at a crossroads. And then Lynze shares two interesting accounts that lend far too much credence to the possibility that the things that go bump in the night exist in more than our imaginations.

"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."

"...when they walked to the bathroom for a glass of water in the middle of the night, they saw two hands coming out of the bathroom mirror, grasping as though looking for something to pull them up. Hands that slipped back into the mirror and then disappeared..."

A quote from today's first tale - the dark history of Eureka Springs, Arkansas's Crescent Hotel. A lot of bad things have definitely happened there - did its history lead to it being haunted? Our second story is about Virginia's Bunny Man legend. Could getting lost in the Virginia Woods lead to an especially terrifying and gruesome death? And Lynze shares some fantastic-as-always fan stories.

"...he saw the back of a figure standing at the bed, bent over the sleeping little boy.
He thought it was his wife Jessica and said, 'What are you doing in here with the light off?” The dark figure didn’t answer. It didn’t turn around. It wasn’t Jessica..."

A quote from today's second story. Our first tale is the Kuykendall Family Phone-Stalker Mystery. Who or what texted and called various members and friends of the Kuykendall family with information they shouldn't of known and where did they go? Our second story is about a Pittsburgh family that chose to remain in a preposterously haunted house for DECADES. Why? The poltergeist activity was intense. The dad is the biggest "Darren" we've talked about so far. And then Lynze shares some incredible-as-always listener stories!

"And then he took his hammer, his wife’s blood dropping from it and leaving a trail, and he walked down the hallway towards his daughter Judy’s room..."

A quote from today's second tale. The first is the story of a Florida teacher who in 2012, became convinced that some of her teenage students were possessed by demons, so she took them on a very ill-advised and highly illegal field trip. The second story is that of Los Feliz’s supposedly haunted murder mansion where on the night of December 6th, 1959, in Dr. Harold Perelson struck his wife and daughter with a hammer. Ever since that night, the house has sat empty and many think it is haunted. Lynze also shares some more fantastic listener personal tales of terror.

"They floated through the door of the ship, escorted by creatures Calvin later thought might not even be living beings..."

A quote from today's first tale. In October of 1973, two men claimed to have been abducted by aliens while fishing in Mississippi. Is their tale one of the most credible abduction stories ever? Our second story is the legend of the Greenbrier Ghost. Did the ghost of a murder victim come back to help put her murderer in prison in West Virginia in 1897? Plus, creepy listener tales of horror!

"My grandpa was almost shouting now. 'Where was she standing!?! When did this happen!?! What did you do!?! Did she see you???'"

A quote from our second story. Today's first tale is the story of Bavaria's Wolfsegg Castle. Who is the White Lady and what does she want? the second story is the Japanese urban legend of "the Eight Foot Tall Woman." "Po...po...po..." You'll know what that quote means after you listen. So creepy! Lynze finishes things off with two super creepy listener-submitted tales.

"Stop, you whores!” it said to the nuns who were bent over the priest. “Stop, or you sluts will be sorry.”

A quote from today's second tale. In our first story, an elderly couple makes the mistake of letting in two strange "children" who show up on their remote doorstep one cold winter's night. In our second story, we examine the "exorcism of Julia," a somewhat well-known exorcism that was witnessed by Dr. Richard Gallagher, an Ivy League-educated psychiatrist who can no longer call himself a skeptic after what he witnessed in 2007. Lynze shares two listener's experiences with the unknown, one of which includes a disturbing audio clip.

"His mouth opened and once more a dark blackness poured forth like a snake..."

A quote from today's first tale. An old man had planned to die in a house his family sells and he shows back up in a terrifying way after cursing the home's new owner. In the second story, we visit Flagstaff, Arizona's Hotel Monte Vista, rumored to be one of America's most haunted hotels. Strange sightings and the hotel's sordid history provide lots of interesting scares. And then Lynze shares several of her own disturbing listener tales.

"He lifted the knife and carved an upside-down cross into the unconscious man’s forehead. The man’s eyes then flipped open and he started to scream."

A quote from the first of today's initial two tales. The first story involves something that sounds like an urban legend but really happened - a group of traveling carnival workers sacrifice at least one soul to Satan. Our second story is an urban legend: the Japanese legend of Teke Teke. The story of a young girl horribly disfigured who comes after those who hear her sad tale. Will she come for you in three days? Will you answer her questions correctly? And then Lynze shares some goosebump-inducing listener stories.

"But the really awful thing—the hideous, horrible thing was that the dead guy was missing his skin..."

A quote from today's second of two tales. The first story in today's episode is the 2008 mysterious disappearance of Minnesotan Brandon Swanson. Did he vanish without a trace due to an extraterrestrial encounter? Our second story is really two tales both revolving around the Navajo legend of the skinwalker. Evil medicine men that some still believe to exist in the American West. And then Lynze shares another two chill-inducing listener tales of terror, one of which is based around three really creepy videos.
