Dan offers us a poltergeist double header this week! We start with some wild, cool and interesting science that explores these strange occurrences. From Zimbabwe to Kentucky, poltergeists know no bounds. Then, in response to Lynze's request for widow tales, she brings us just that. Lastly, a very detailed encounter from one man on his daily run and the strange, out of date character he runs into.

"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."

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?

In this forty-forth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we head back to 1921, when sixteen year-old Tommy Calloway is discovered as the sole crew member aboard a shipwreck near North Carolina's Cape Fear Lighthouse. The story of what happened to the rest of the crew will strongly test the head keeper's skepticism of the supernatural... before it smashes it to pieces.

Dan has a modern encounter claim revolving around a man and his friend seeing something across the street from his house when he was a kid. the events that occur years later make him think what they thought they saw wasn’t just in their heads. Then, we return to extraterrestrial lore, and explore a series of sightings in Scotland in the 1990s. Lynze tells the story of a long known haunted college campus with a specific tale of dorm room visitor who just won't go away. Then, we explore the possibility that we might have a Scared To Death fan on the other side.

In this forty-third installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we head back to 1985, when ten year-old Ryan Mellard and three friends went trick-or-treating for the first time without parental supervision. When they passed by The Dead House, a site  supposedly haunted by the ghost of a woman who used to live there, they dared Ryan to enter. And what he found inside changed him forever. Happy Halloween!

Hello Creeps and Peepers! Welcome to one last Halloween revisiting of a few of my favorite Nightmare Fuels as we lead up to tomorrow's special new Halloween Nightmare Fuel release. Today, we look back (or take a first look if you're new!) at a story set in San Francisco, where a monster from Hmong horror lore, the Night Hag known as Dab Tsog, shows the young members of one Hmong family how it is anything but harmless superstition.

This episode is scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to get the full effect of all the creepy background noises!

Hello Creeps and Peepers! Welcome to yet another Halloween revisiting of a few of my favorite Nightmare Fuels as we lead up a special new Halloween Nightmare Fuel release. Today, we look back (or take a first look if you're new!) at when Claudia Nelson's life is changed forever by a shooting star that lands on her property outside of the fictional town of Dillon. What cosmic horror does the cursed meteorite bring? And what Hell will it unleash on Claudia and the other residents of her small, remote town?

Dan has two awesome legends for us this week. We start in Chicago to learn the legend of Resurrection Mary followed by many encounters with her. Then, we go across the pond to learn about The Dark Huntsman. Lynze shares some great fan tales specifically around Halloween. The first involves some adults using a ouija board for the wrong purposes. The second takes us trick or treating with an unfriendly ghost.

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!
