We are headed to Japan for Dan's first story  about a supposedly haunted - or maybe possessed - doll in Japan: Okiku. It's very unsettling! Then we head to a no name college town for thee anonymous story of a college student who got a lot more than he bargained for while shopping for furniture on Facebook Marketplace. Lynze shares a sad and interesting tale about a young boys interaction with something not of our world. Then she finishes out the episode by taking us to Navajo lands where we encounter an especially creepy, deceptive entity. 

Bad Magic Street Team 2025:Excited to share that we are, once again doing the Bad Magic Street Team! Sticker packs hit the store  9.8.2026 at 12 noon PT on our website- BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COM Every round has been an absolute blast!! Thank you so much for slapping these stickers all around the world. We love receiving emails and social media tags showing off these stickers!The stickers are free but there will only be 500 sticker packs available- they are first come, first served. Once they're gone, that's it. One sticker pack per person, please. Once you receive your stickers, all you have to do is slap them all over the place, snap a picture of where you put them, and then post that picture on IG and FB using the hashtag #BadMagicStreetTeam. That’s it!! The winner will be announced on November 3rd! The winner will receive a $200 gift certificate to our store. Pay attention to socials to find out who wins!  We will share on the shows as well, however, we record ahead of time so our personal announcement may be delayed so keep an eye on socials- that’s how we will reach out to you if if we cannot find your email attached to your sticker order. The goal is to have fun!  Don’t do anything stupid! Don’t go sticking stickers where they don’t belong. Although… it is pretty funny to get the occasional email from someone going off about having to scrape these stickers off bathroom stalls. Anyways…  Let’s keep spreading the love and community that is Bad Magic.*Legal Disclaimer. Bad Magic will not be held liable for any misplaced or illegally placed stickers.

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."
