Scared To Death episodes

  • The Man With No Face

    "His face was just… blank. He didn’t have a face! How he could he not have a face? I turned around and tried to get away from him. I tried to climb back down and I fell. I could hear him coming after me. He kept letting out these muffled screams.”

    We are off to Australia, if you believe it's real, for the story of a very famous haunted cave, the Jenolan Caves. Many of us go on tours while we are on vacation. What if you went on a tour and you were the only person who could see an extra tourist, also on the tour? As we listen to Dan share the hauntings of this cave, you will be left to wonder how such a beautiful place could give you such a scare. Keeping in theme with adventures you might go on, Dan attempts to make the woods and hiking a NO-GO for Lynze. In an undisclosed location, there is a "man" with no face, making people disappear. Is he real? Are people disappearing? What kind of control does he have over them that keeps people in the woods for days. Listen in and decided if you still want to spend time in the woods.

    In Lynze's half of the show, she gives us three stories this week. In the first story, CC tells how a previous episode (69) sends her into a bit of tailspin, reminding her of the horrors of a shadow man or hat man she thought she had dealt with in her younger years. Was it a dream? Her imagination? Or, was he really there? In the second story, Lynze tells us about three cousins who have two back to back experiences. Both instances are bizarre and unnerving. If more than one person experiences something, does that make it more true? Finishing out the episode is a less scary tale but spoopy, none the less. Lynze takes us to Indiana and back in time, where a possible ghost is connected to the infamous H.H. Holmes.

  • I Want To Play With You

    "The girl then wiped her hair from out of her face and revealed those two pitch-black spots where her eyes should’ve been.

    She smiled a large open-mouth smiled and revealed teeth that looked predatory - too sharp to be human.
    Not fangs, exactly, but close. She started to walk towards Nitara and Fatima. Too quickly. “Will you let me in?” she asked, “I need to come inside. To play with you.”

    Why does Dan do this to Lynze? He knows that the Black Eye Kids are her biggest and most upsetting fear. Lynze is a complete caregiver and knows that if a child was asking her for help, she would never be able to turn them away. In story one of two, Dan explores more of the history of BEK's before diving into this eery tale of a possible encounter with a BEK in a European hotel. Staying abroad, Dan takes us over to Scotland for the tale of the haunted Glamis Castle. What secret is lurking in the hidden passageways of this ancient castle?

    Lynze tells one, long, harrowing tale of a FOR SURE haunted house in Colorado. When the new owners move in, all is well for quite some time. There was only one warning sign on moving day- all of the windows were lined with foil, from the inside out. After two years of small but harmless signs of someone or something being in the family home, things escalate. Stay until the very end of this odd tale to gain some semblance of confirmation of the haunting.

  • Dice Road

    "Some believe a less-than five mile stretch of this road either is - or has become - some kind of a paranormal corridor or conduit. An area where, for whatever reason, it’s easier for spirits to access or stay."

    What is going on on Dice Road, in Michigan? Dan takes us all on a terrifying journey, telling us three tales that all take place on Dice Road. There is the tale of the Pommeraning Family, who seem to be having a bit of trouble in their home. Many people are witness to the paranormal activity but no one seems to be able to find the source. Is it real? Where is it coming from? Why is it happening? Then, just about two miles down the road, in either direction, there are two other big tales of paranormal activity. What a crazy place to live, to be totally surrounded by possible ghosts, hauntings, sightings and more!

    On the back half of the show, Lynze has two super spoopy tales. Dan has a hard time even focusing on the tales because of some strange activity in the studio that occurs during his half of the show. Lynze shares a tale of a haunted house where multiple people have seen the same ghost, over and over. What happens when the ghost of the house starts to escalate her behavior? In story two, we find ourselves in the midst of a story that affects three generations of family members, simultaneously. Is it possible to be deeply connected to others in a way that makes your most terrifying moments a shared experience?

  • Friend 'Til The End

    "Now he saw it again. And this time he got a better look. A blurry black figure climbing down from Alex’s bed."

    Two really intense episode full of so many spoops! For our first story, Dan tells the tale of a very recent haunted doll. And not just any doll, a little girls Elsa doll is the source of some crazy activity. If your kid had a toy that was potentially haunted, you got rid of it and it showed back up at your house- what would you do? After that tale, Dan tells an incredible story about a haunted dorm, kind of. Three new friends seem to encounter an entity that wants more than just a little bit of their attention.

    On the back half of the episode, Lynze has three really interesting stories, ranging from a family possibly bringing home a spirit that wants to get their attention, a shape shifting doppleganger and an episode of sleep paralysis unlike any other ever covered on Scared To Death.

  • The Devil's Toy Box

    "Know that - this is a dangerous ritual. To go inside the box is to risk bringing something back with you when you leave.

    Something that may change you forever.


    Going into the box may prove to you that there are absolutely worlds beyond this one - but it may also - supposedly - destroy you."

    Have you ever heard of The Devil's Toy Box? A truly intense and terrifying way to contact the other is the basis for Dan's first story this week. He takes us on a journey of three friends who dabble in the occult and find that it's much scarier than they ever thought.

    Keeping up with the tradition that Dan and Lynze set up last year when Dan told the tale of the Smee, we’ll go back a little further to the Victorian Era of England when ghost stories were extremely popular in the UK, and again, when they were most popular around Christmas. Christmas ’twas the season for horror in the mid and late 19th century for many British Empire nations. Stick around until the end of the story which will leave you wondering who is who?!

    Lynze mixes it up a bit this week with three tales instead of two. In her first story, we hear the account of a one soldier seeing another soldier in Iraq, in the middle of the night. Or did he? What exactly is out there in the former battlegrounds?

    In her second, and very quick story, we explore a possible sleep paralysis. As Lynze tells the story, we think it's all of the usual marking of sleep paralysis but then, she revels one final fact that changes it all.

    Wrapping up the holiday episode, a cautionary tale of things that go bump in your house. What do you do when things go missing, are moved without you noticing? Do you automatically blame a ghost? See what happens when you don't trust your gut when you get the feeling you are being watched.

  • Backseat Driver

    "Recognizing that something abnormal was happening, Steven grabbed his tablet and began filming his wife.

    Several priests would later watch this video and described what they witnessed as follows:
    “You humans have your own sense of time,” Louisa told Steven at one point in the video. “I have plenty of time. I have all the time in the world."

    She then shifted into a staccato whisper.
    “It’s your wife I want,” she said “not only her body, but her soul.”

    Dan's stories this week are top notch! A really big, scary episode! We start off in Germany for the tale of the Weiße Frauen, AKA, The White Woman of Bavaria! She is rather sneaky and will have you looking over your shoulder. After that, Dan tells a tale so haunting that Lynze actually started to cry during the episode. Louisa Muskovits is a woman living in Tacoma in 2018 who was, or possibly still is, being oppressed OR possessed by an evil spirit. This tale will shake you to the core.

    In Lynze's half of the show, we explore a possibly haunted English countryside in. The story may not make you jump out of your skin but it sure will make you think twice about the sound of footsteps. For story two, she takes us to Montana, to explore the possibility of something haunting the woods around an old homestead.

  • Choked and Afraid

    "And Jackson said, "I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room… she was very scary…. she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old.”

    Then he added, "It was terrifying actually, a very scary image and she was at the end of the bed and she glided across the room… and disappeared into the wall.

    I sat in bed and thought, have I really seen that?”

    Dan takes us all on a journey to two places that Dan and Lynze love or dream of visiting! Kicking the show off is the tale of the St. James Theater in Wellington, New Zealand. Famed Film Director, Peter Jackson backs up the theories about the "Wailing Woman" who lives here. The story has a big build up to a stage hand possibly being harmed by this malevolent spirit. The "Wailing Woman" isn't the only spirit living in the St. James Theater. Find out how many spirits might be here, the good and the bad, and a little bit of history in this tale. For the second story, we jump over to NOLA, one of Dan and Lynze's most favorite places on earth, to explore one the most famous, most dark tales of Madame Delphine LaLaurie. While you may know the story of Madame LaLaurie, you surely haven't heard this tale of a spirit from the home trying to reach out to the living!

    Lynze has her usual two tales this week. Her first story touches on one of Dan's biggest fears: Mirrors. Can you make contact with the other side, via a mirror, even when you aren't trying? Can a spirit convince you to do something you normally wouldn't do? And what if the person being tricked is just a child? Check out story one for this spoopy tale. In Lynze's second tale, you are going to want to hang on until the very end. Sure, she might just be sharing an odd experience of a possibly haunted house but what if it were happening to you and what if you could hear it but you couldn't see it? Dig into this tale with us!

    For our December Patreon donation, we ended up donating to the Cult of the Curious Giving Tree.

    The Cult of the Curious, if we haven't described it here before - is the private Facebook group for the Timesuck podcast- and many Creeps and Peepers also listen to that podcast and are in that group.

    We donated a little over $10,000 of this month’s overall Patreon contribution from both Scared to Death and Timesuck to buy gifts for listeners in need.

    And then fans started sending in money.

    The Cult of the Curious donated almost exactly $15,000.

    And we said we’d match that, so now Lynze and I are giving another $15,000 to raise the total to a little over $40,000.

    We’ll be sending presents - lots of presents - to EIGHTY different Cult of the Curious households.

    Sorry we didn’t advertise it HERE, but, the response from Timesuck’s fans overwhelmed us so quickly - we knew we already wouldn’t be able to help everyone who wrote in and we didn’t want to disappoint more people.

    NEXT YEAR - we will be sure to spread the word for the now annual Bad Magic Giving Tree to Creeps and Peepers as well.

    Thank you Roberts and Annabelles for taking a lot of fear OUT of the holidays for many this year.

  • The Whaley House

    “Excuse me, Omar,” she said. “Did you just drop off that other woman?”

    “What other woman?” said Omar.


    Kathy thought he was joking for a moment and then realized he was 100 % serious. She was so confused. She had CLEARLY seen another woman in the backseat with her. She’d looked at several times. She was only two feet away sitting there plain as day.

    “The woman who was sitting right beside me just a few minutes ago. Blonde hair, blue short sleeved shirt.”


    Omar turned the radio down.

    “No, ma’am,” he said. “There was no other woman there.”

    The tales that Dan weaves this week are top notch. During story number one, we explore the idea of a haunted car ride. What would you do if there was another passenger in a car but you were the only person who could see the passenger? And what if you were in a cab? Or an Uber? What would you do? In story number two, we go to the famous haunting of The Whaley House. A long haunted and well known haunted home, a home that was once called The Most Haunted House in America.

    In the second half of the show, Lynze takes a literal deep dive into a potentially haunted underwater cave in Vortex Springs. Was something trying to connect with a diver? Was there a warning of danger coming from the other side? In her second story, Lynze shares a fan story about a haunted doll. If you could not prove that a doll was haunted, would you get rid of it? Would you keep looking for more signs? Find out what this fan does when she suspects her new porcelain is the source of unexplained activity.

  • La Isla de las Muñecas/Island of the Dolls

    "The feeling of being watched returned. It wasn’t an unusual feeling to get, out in a country road. Animals were often watching from the bushes, deer or sometimes even mountain cats… but this was different.

    The thing that watching him felt…. smart. Dave couldn’t explain how. It just did.


    Then, from inside the house, he heard a crash rang out.

    And then he heard something else that make his skin craw
    l.

    It didn’t sound sinister exactly, not at first. But he definitely didn’t like it… a low chanting. Followed by the sound of a baby crying.

    “What the Hell was going on tonight?,” he wondered. Was there a full moon? Two full moons somehow? He’d just left a baby back in the car. And now he’s hearing another baby? And chanting?"

    Happy Thanksgiving, Creeps and Peepers! Much thanks for all of our fans, Robert's and Annabelle's! On today's show, Dan takes us all to one of the strangest places we have ever gone on Scared to Death, The Island of the Dolls. Why in the world would a man just up and leave him family to live, alone and secluded, on an island that he then COVERS in dolls? After years of living on the island, why does this man turn up dead? What have others discovered when visiting The Island of the Dolls? Are the dolls alive? Possessed? Is it all in their imaginations? From Mexico City, Dan takes us to Colorado. More specifically, we are going to Riverdale Road. This road is know by many to be extremely haunted. Listen to Dan share a tale of three credible witnesses who are lured in by the spirit of women with a decaying face, a woman who tries to burn them alive.

    Lynze pulls us back to more traditional stories. She also starts in Mexico and shares a long standing family story from a fan. Carrying on the theme of family stories, Lynze shares a tale from Donna, Dan's little sister, and her creepy kids. In both stories, we are left to wonder if kids are more prone to see ghosts and if so, why?

  • It Feels Alive

    TW: This first story is graphic in every way.

    "But this was different. She didn’t know who or what was responsible for these new noises that always came with a feeling of dread. Those noises weren’t the ones she was hearing now….

    She’d hear what sounded like someone walking… kind of. The gait wouldn’t sound quite right for a person.
    She’d heard an ominous, menacing, slow shuffle. And it would be accompanied by other unsettling noises - like the sound someone dragging something - scraping something - slowly across the wall.

    She’s feel the energy of the whole hosuse shift when she heard all this. It felt more observant somehow.

    It felt alive."

    For the first time in Scared To Death history, NO ANNOUNCEMENTS! Woohoo! Kicking it right off with the good stuff, Dan dives into the story of The Haunting of Doris Bither which was the inspiration for the 1978 novel and the 1983 movie, The Entity. It's an interesting and well documented story. How would you react if 30 people crammed into your bedroom and witnessed the paranormal activity you had been claiming was ruining your life? Does that make it real? Listen in to hear this juicy and tragic tale! In Dan's second tale, he explores the possibility of a supposed Ghost Ship, the Mary Celeste. That's not a ship haunted by ghosts but rather, a ship that is found out at sea with no signs of life or death!

    In Lynze's half of the show, she shares not two but three tales this week! She starts out with a story that will make you think about how old a ghost might be and if ghosts come back to visit on the anniversary of their deaths. In story number two, we head up to visit our friends in Canada to hear the story of The Raven House, a house that might make you wonder if good ghosts and bad ghosts have some kind of relationship in their world. Can a good ghost protect you from a bad ghost? In the final story of the show, Lynze brings back a favorite kind of spirit, the jinn (also, djinn).

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.
