  • The Bell Island Hag

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's  first story is really three stories mixed with some local lore. First, after going over the kinds of paranormal encounters most often reported from people visiting Virginia’s Braley, we explore the story of a murder that took place that that has added to its reputation as a paranormal hotspot. Then, we’ll go over what an area ghost hunter claims happened to them there. And finally, a young woman’s terrifying modern encounter claim.  After that, we’ll be off to Canada to cover a whole bunch of lore associated with numerous sightings of a night hag in Newfoundland. Lynze shares just one big story this week about a less scary but rather helpful spiritual hitchhiker! 
     

    New Merch:  The official merch for our 3rd annual Haunted Halloween Show is here! VERY cool and creepy illustration from Logan depicting a ghostlike face screaming in terror.  You can also grab tickets to our October 13th event at  badmagicmerch.com
     

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, we are headed to camp! And with that, we work hand in hand with the host camp, Camp No Counselors, to seek a worthy camp related non profit. We landed on Morry’s Camp, also known as Project Morry. Project Morry was born out of summer camp pioneer Morry Stein’s dream that all children, regardless of economic status, should experience the life-changing gift of summer camp. Beginning as a summer camp experience, Project Morry has grown into a comprehensive year-round youth development organization, with Morry’s Camp still at the heart of our program. What I love about this non profit is that the support for under served children does not stop at summer camp. Project Morry is committed to closing opportunity gaps that exist in our community and working to ensure young people from under-resourced communities graduate high school ready for college, careers and life.  The bartenders at Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer camp are joining us by committing to donating 100% of their tips to Project Morry as well so our total for this month will be announced later. Until then, if you want to learn more, please visit projectmorry.org

    Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd (she is always happy to say HI!) get on over to   dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows. You can find him in Providence, Buffalo, Lexington, Chicago and MORE!

  • It Came From The Dungeon

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan has standard two spoopy stories for you this week. The first is a modern encounter set in the Missouri State Penitentiary. We will go over its long history of infamous prisoners and  its paranormal lore as well before ending with the encounter tale. Then we go to Pendleton, South Carolina to check out some claims coming from the supposedly haunted Woodburn plantation. Lynze has two stories for us this week and both have a similar theme. The first up is the tale of a watchful soldier and then the second, a less than desirable situation when a cop pulls someone over. 
     

    New Merch:   We've got a fun new simple 4 year anniversary design in store now to celebrate a big milestone! Limited design available on a tee or sweatshirt. A cool handwritten 'Scared to Death' with the A in death being... 4. Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and check it out!

  • Fire On The Mound

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan has a story about a home in San Francisco that was reportedly infested with a LOT of paranormal activity for several months in the mid-19th century. It is unusually well-documented amount of activity witnessed by many. Then his second story takes us to Arkansas where we explore a haunting set in the unique location of the Plum Bayou Mounds Archeological State Park, formerly known as "Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park.” Lynze has four tales this week making it a longer episode, yay! She has two possible skinwalker sightings, an encounter with the folk lore of the Irish Banshee and then a really intense doppleganger story!

  • Ghost Bus

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    The top of the episode story involves lore surrounding the old Athens Asylum, once found in Athens, Ohio. The asylum was absorbed by Ohio University after it closed down, and some wonder if the spirits that allegedly once haunted the asylum now haunt the campus. Then a shorter story  set in Barbados. We’ll explore the mystery of the old Chase Vault. Did a bunch of coffins move around on their own, not once but several times, in the early 19th century? The back half of the show provides some head scratchers! The first tale would seem to be about an entity that continually shows up in a young mans that he thinks he has a connection to  but then, at the end, we learn an additional detail that makes him wonder otherwise. The final tale has Dan and Lynze questioning multi-verse. Was there a glitch in the matrix one late night, last fall? You decide.

    HAUNTED HALLOWEEN SHOW!  We are excited to announce  that we are doing another Scared to Death Live Show - Haunted Halloween - True Tales of Hallow’s Eve Horror THREE! This year will be on FRIDAY THE 13th!!  6PM PST, October the 13th. The  show will be available for rewatching through November 1st, Noon PT, at moment.co .

  • The Ghost Of Goody Cole

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    The first story this week involves a woman who spent her life in New Hampshire centuries ago being mistreated for being a supposed witch! Does her angry spirit now behave in ways similar to how people worried she acted like in life? Did the torment she received create the monster her former neighbors worried about? Then what do you do if your child is regularly seeing ghosts in your home? Ghosts you can’t see, but you do find proof that what she’s saying sure does not seem made up. Three more tales on the back half of this episode. A seemingly normal stop for a bite to eat at a diner turns into a  less than normal evening for one man. Next up, are the aliens playing jokes on us? This tale is similar to one we heard last week. And finally, one of everyone's fear come true- something in the closet reaching out for you. 

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:

    This month’s charity will be Sustainable Alamance, a non profit based in North Carolina. The mission of Sustainable Alamance is to focus on and help individuals who were formerly incarcerated gain and sustain employment  so that they may not only live within the community constructs but to also contribute to society as well. Reading about the steps that are required for formerly incarcerated people to even begin to build their life again was an eye opener and I say this as someone who has a family member who is a felon. I guess I just didn’t comprehend the obstacles. Sustainable Alamance has this quote on their website and I just love it: Poverty is not a lack of money but a lack of resources. We believe that you can “give a man fish” (charity) and even “teach a man to fish” (grace and mercy) but we must also ensure access to the lake (hope and justice). If you’d like to learn more about Sustainable Alamance, you can visit sustainablealamance.org. $1,546 will be put into the scholarship fund for 2024 and $13,915 to be donated to Sustainable Alamance.

  • The Girl On The Second Floor

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's tales today takes us to  Arkansas, to the grounds of a former treatment facility for tuberculosis, a disease that ran rampant in the US for decades. We’ve learned that hospitals and asylums are hot beds for paranormal activity, and this Sanatorium is no different. And then, we head to Scotland and visit a haunted castle! Castle Fraser is reportedly haunted by numerous spirits. We share some history, a bit of lore, and two modern encounter claims. Lynze has two wonderfully spoopy tales this week. Her first tale about a small town where people going missing will have you wishing everyone there would GTFO. Then, she has a story about a possible alien abduction. It's weird story! 

    SHOW DAN SOME LOVE! Mark your calendar for  Sunday, August 27th, 4PM , the debut of Dan's newest standup special, “Trying to Get Better” will be releasing for free on the Bad Magic Productions Youtube channel. PLEASE - share it! This is one of the best ways to support Dan! 

    New Merch:  Introducing the "Life In Plastic" collection. A nod to the wildly successful Barbie movie release or something more sinister? It gives me heavy American Horror Story vibes. It also gives me heavy Lynze vibes.. a dead Lynze kinda vibe...Head to badmagicmerch.com

  • A Cemetary Seance

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan kicks off with the story of a young woman around a century ago in a mining town who reaches out to the other side to try and communicate with her dead father and brother. And she contacts SOMETHING. Then, a latchkey kid encounters a special kind of terror that makes spending time alone at home even harder than it already is for a young child. Lynze has two awesome stories this week. The first could be considered a reminder about being wary of what you buy second hand. Then the second story is a bit less creepy but still a great story about an abandoned brothel. 

    New Merch:  Hitting the Bad Magic store is the SEVERED collection featuring gory prosthetics! Hyper realistic, bloody severed human parts in magnet and keychain form. Special shoutout to the beautiful custom work by visual effects artist and fan of the show - the badass Tony Campanga at Spellbound FX. Each unit is custom and unique and we have a very limited amount available.

  • A Dark Rebirth

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    We’ll cover a bunch of paranormal Gamecock lore… aka lore from The University of South Carolina. We’ve also added an alleged modern paranormal encounter said to have taken place in the university’s Longstreet Theatre. Then we meet a traveling nurse who claims to have been terrorized by a strange, seemingly sentient entity in his short term rental in Colton, California, just outside of Riverside. How dangerous can some black mold be? A story that will make you scratch your head is next.

    Special Segment: Over the years, we have become huge advocates of mental health. It’s something each and every one of us deals with. As we became more vocal about our own journeys so have you! The more the emails rolled in, the more responsibility we began to feel. That has lead us to partner with BetterHelp for the occasional special segment, “Don’t Be Scared To Ask For Help” where we will share some insight and advice given to us by a licensed therapist. And all of the questions we asked were submitted by listeners. Thank you for doing that! That segment will be at the very end of today’s episode.

     This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Thank you to Courtney Cope, Principal Clinical Operations Manager and David Yadush, Senior Clinical Operations Manager at BetterHelp.

  • The Teeth In The Walls

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan has his  normal two stories again. And there’s a theme with them both -faith seemingly conquering evil. The first story is set in the present day - centered around a woman living alone in North Carolina in what she’d hoped was going to be her dream home. And then a real bad former resident tries to turn her dream into a nightmare. Next, we travel over a hundred years back in time and head to southern India. A prominent family is terrorized by an entity that likes to play with fire. Literally. Lynze has three stories this week. A story about a possibly haunted gravesite, a strange tale that might make you wonder if it was a ghost or a prank and then the creepiest little story about what kids can see that we cannot.

  • We Hear Them At Night

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan has a very long story followed by a very short one. The long story revolves around a social worker growing suspicious that something is really, really not right at the home of one of her clients. And when she checks on the kids, that suspicion is really, REALLY confirmed. Next some lore and a modern paranormal encounter out in the woods of Connecticut on the supposedly haunted, and abandoned, Downs Road. Lynze has three tales to share this week. Her first one is about some unwanted but possibly harmless visitors. Her second story has Dan and Lynze pondering the intersection of  mental health and the paranormal. Lastly, a quick story about a possible energy vampire!

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: For the month of July, we decided to use the monthly donation to support The Hill Country Humane Society. Located in rural Texas, they serve a population of people who can hardly afford healthcare for themselves. The shelters are beyond capacity and Texas ranks high (top 1 or 2, depends on where you look for the stats) in the nation for euthanizing animals. The secretary of this foundation reached out to months ago, explaining that one of the best ways the Hill Country Human society could help slow the overpopulation of animals in the shelter is to spay and neuter pets. But being that they serve a low income area, that is often out of the question for owners. With this donation, we are hoping to ease the burden of pet owners in this area, as this organization is in the middle of building a mobile spay/neuter clinic. We will be sending 13,800 to Hill Country Humane Society and adding 1,533 into the scholarship fund! For more information on The Hill Country Humane Society visit hchstexas.com

About Scared To Death

From the publisher's feed

The paranormal comes to life as husband-wife duo Dan Cummins (acclaimed standup comedian and true horror fan) and Lynze Cummins (costume and wardrobe stylist for numerous film and television productions) share terrifying stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on. Dan’s goal? To scare Lynze with creepy accounts of demonic possession, shadow people, and other eerie phenomena. And when he’s done, Lynze fights back with chilling fan-submitted tales of true horror. Together, they explore the darkest corners of the web, dusty old books, and even their own eerie surroundings—a studio filled with occult objects and located right next to a cemetery. Don’t forget to check out the mini-series Nightmare Fuel, airing on this feed the first and third Friday of every month, where Dan narrates a short piece of original horror fiction.
