Scared To Death

Dan gets us going with an unsolved paranormal mystery double headed this year! A  nursing student who crashed her car on a lonely New Hampshire highway in the middle of a winter night seemingly vanished . Locals whisper that Route 112 is haunted by “the Woman of the Woods,” a figure seen walking the tree line before other strange crashes and disappearances. Did Maura Murray step into the forest that night to somewhere the living can’t follow? Then we explore the story of Barbara Bolick, who  took a short day hike and in less than a minute she was simply… gone. Then Lynze kicks off 2026 with three tales. The first, a strange man in a large house is giving a group of teenagers the scare of a lifetime. Next up, a grown adult experiences a very private and very noisy encounter with a bathroom ghost. Lastly, what is keeping someone awake, late at night, just outside their window?Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities?

In the conclusion to this story, Ellen, Marco, and Cal come up with a plan to save Ned's soul and imprison Dr. Blackwell. Will they free him? Or will Dr. Blackwell now not only possess Ned's soul, but Ellen's as well?  What will become of the Liminal Lodge if the plan doesn't work?

Dan takes us to Peru for our last stories of 2025. We begin in the  Amazon, where indigenous villagers say seven-foot-tall armored beings with glowing yellow eyes drift through the trees at night, freezing their victims in place and taking “samples” of skin, fat, and organs. Then we go beneath the city of Lima, to a maze of tunnels stacked with the bones of tens of thousands of colonial dead, arranged in spirals and pits like macabre artwork. Tourists and locals alike report getting lost in the darkness of the San Francisco Catacombs - hearing whispered prayers from sealed passageways and more, suggesting that the catacombs maybe aren’t just a museum, but instead, a place where the dead still watch the living who dare to enter their final home. Then, Lynze wraps up 2025 with two tales. Her first is really, really creepy. A New Year's Eve scare to ring in the new year. Then, a terrible idea for a first date leads to grave encounter. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities?

In this chapter, Ned nearly dies when he previews Dr. Blackwell's "Quiet Room" right before his sister Ellen brings a team the Liminal Lodge to save him. Will they be able to rescue him? Will they take him to Tacoma General Hospital and have him committed to the psychiatric ward?  Or will Dr. Blackwell keep him in the Liminal Lodge, and finally remove him from his "shell"? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.

Like always, Dan has two awesome tales this week! We are headed to Sweden! The first story is about Borgvattnet Vicarage.  For nearly a century, this remote, rural house has terrified priests, guests, and paranormal investigators with apparitions, phantom voices, and a grieving woman known only as the Gray Lady.  Then we go deep in the forests of Värmland.  Frammegården is an 18th-century parsonage so haunted that priests, investigators, and overnight guests have all fled in terror. From crawling shadow figures to violent attacks and the infamous “Black Hallway,” this house’s spirits seem less interested in communicating… and more interested in hunting. Lynze has a theme to her stories as well this week: strange women raising havoc in two different homes!  Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

A really fun show this week with stories that are somewhat traditional and somewhat not! We hope you enjoy the variety. Dan takes us to Ohio for a dybbuk box tale, which is wildly interesting. Then we head to North Carolina to explore the Duke mansion. Lynze has three short stories this week. She covers a new kind of fear based coping mechanism, then takes us to Myrtle's Plantation and lastly, we fist fight a ghost together! Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

In this chapter, Ned pushes further into his troubling pursuit of previewing the afterlife and contacting Courtney, guided by the spirit of Dr. Blackwell herself, who Ned's sister Ellen does not believe has her brother's safety and wellbeing in mind. She and her mother look to have Ned involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility before he completely sheds his "shell."  (Also - I explain why this switched from a two-parter to a four-parter in the intro.) For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.

Dan begins with a little known case of the Warren's about a grieving family heirloom and a century-old pact. Then,  we’ll examine what many consider to be America’s first documented ghost story.  Was Sullivan, Maine really home to America’s first documented ghost? Then, Lynze gives us two unsettling tales this week. Her first takes us to a prison infirmary for a both a paranormal and very real life set of fears. She wraps up this week with a teacher and a student both experiencing something rather bizarre. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

We head to South Africa to start this week.  Two South African men vanished from separate hospitals in recent years - only to be discovered days later, their bodies found in the strangest of places. Official explanations have never added up. Were they murdered? And if so… was their murderer human? Or something else entirely?  Then we’ll head to England, where, perched high above the sea on the island’s northeast coast, the ruins of Whitby Abbey have stood for nearly fourteen centuries - silent, watching, and supposedly haunted.Then,  a Veteran shares with us his tale of something from the other side reaching out and grabbing him. Who did this soldier show up with as he was not alone. Lastly, a young girl moves in a new home that she immediately hates. What lives there and why does it hate her so much? Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities? Join us on Patreon!Want to be a Patron?

Hello Creeps and Peepers! Welcome to another Halloween revisiting of a few of my favorite Nightmare Fuels as we lead up a special new Halloween Nightmare Fuel release. Let's look back (or take a first look if you're new!) at the first episode that seemed to really excite a lot of you about this series.  The third horror story I wrote.  The tale of a mysterious beast that's been brutally killing men for decades in the former gold rush town of Bodie, California. And out introduction to Ezra Calhoun.This episode is scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to get the full effect of all the creepy background noises!Thanks to AMC’s FearFest for sponsoring this Nightmare Fuel re-release! For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.
