Scared To Death

Latest Episodes:

There's A Little Boy Up There Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

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!

"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."

He's In My Phone Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

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? Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

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 Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

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.

The Delivery Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

This week begins with the anonymous claim of a man who believes he encountered something evil… something not human… while out delivering pizzas late on a Friday night. Did something order a meal to be delivered to them, and was that meal supposed to have been the person bringing the pizza instead of the pizza? Then, Dan covers the infamous Moberly-Jourdain Incident. Back in 1901, did two noted academics, Charlotte Ann Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, slip over a hundred years out of their own time for several minutes while on a trip to France ? It’s a very thought-provoking and creepy tale. Lynze begins with a straightforward haunted house- just classic! She finishes up the show with a unique tale about that feeling known as the "call of the void". It may or may not be paranormal but it is very bizarre, regardless.

Dead Men In Lead Masks Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Dan starts us with a very, very strange story set in Brazil in 1966 that sure reeks of an alien abduction. Then, we explore what seems to be an intensely haunted inn in Ashland, Massachusetts’: Stone’s Public House. Lynze brings us a classic-ish Hat Man tale followed up by a very peculiar hitchhiker story! Enjoy this start to 2025, friends!
