Scared To Death

Tale Of The Pontianak


Listen Later

We begin this week with an especially terrifying creature from Indonesia known as the Pontianak . Dan will share the lore of the Pontianak and then a handful of supposed modern encounters with this vengeful, angry, female, vampiric spirit. Next, Dan shares Ontario, Canada’s Baldoon Mystery. A good ol’ fashioned poltergeist story with a very strange twist from the 19th century. For stories three and four, Lynze brings us a ouija board double whammy, unintentionally. Her first story is one we can all relate to at the start as we begin by sleeping in the basement. Then, a family has a bizarre connection to Charles Manson and he brings some paranormal horror to their lives!

Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, we will be donating to Lost and Found Youth, an Atlanta based non profit, providing help to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness. Like so many of our listeners, we were once youth with little to no financial means who often felt like outcasts. We were lucky enough to not have the added layer of complexity by adding in housing insecurity or being denied support because of who we loved. Lost and Found Youth is providing a space for people 18-25 experiencing homelessness. This organization is doing incredible work and we are so thrilled to be sending them 11,530 dollars this month! And 1,280 will be headed to the scholarship fund. Way to go, Roberts and Annabelles! You are making a difference in the world!

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."
