  • The Ghosts of Ballarat
    Apr 2 2025

    For the first of two tales, Dan takes us to the old mining city of Ballarat , Australia, to explore reports of hauntings from the 19th century, and some even stranger reports of some ghost hoaxers. Such an entertaining story! Then, a supposedly true modern encounter tale of someone who might give you something new to worry about. When you think of deceased relatives and other spirits always being near and watching over you, do you ever wonder how much of your life they actually see? Lynze offers us three tales this week. Her first is not that scary but a super fun mystery that has paranormal elements. Then, a big sister encourages her younger sister to make friends with the person in the mirror. What could go wrong? Lastly, a creepy tale of something in the basement of a rental house.

  • His Teeth
    Mar 26 2025

    Dan starts this week with a very bizarre story. It's hard to even explain but we are off to Finland to review a tale about a sculpture garden. Then we head to Saudi Arabia to explore the lore around Bride of the Red Sea. Lynze really goes for it this week with five stories! They are short and quite varied. Her first two deal with family members sticking around after their deaths in very small, kind but still eery ways. Then, because it's March, she offers us a little Leprechaun tale. Then, we hear a tale of poltergeist activity not surrounding an angsty teen, which feels new. Lastly, a shadow figure that seems to leave behind some lasting effects.

  • The Redcap
    Mar 19 2025

    Dan offers three stories this week. The first is of Scotland’s Redcap, a monstrous and murderous little goblin of a creature with lore going back to the 14th century. Next, we’ll head to Serbia and talk about the horror lore behind the strange rock formations of Devil's Town. And finally, we’ll explore the lore surrounding what might be early America’s most famous haunting, the Wizard Clip. Lynze also has three stories this week, so fun! She starts with a story from Louisiana, exploring the space between us and the veil. Then, we go to Colorado for a mimic tale. Then Lynze wraps it up with a creepy someone hanging out on a Denmark bus.

  • The Face That Was Not Hers
    Mar 12 2025

    Dan's first of two stories takes us to India. He relays the story of a man who shares the story of his grandmother's paranormal affliction. Then, Dan shares almost 250 years of history and the haunted lore that surrounds Lompoc California’s La Purísima Spanish Mission. Lynze brings us two tales, both of which have elements we have yet to hear about before! We go to Florida, to The Devil's Armchair in her first story. A new creature, an ashy-white-burnt-skin-golden-eyed thing... is the subject of her second story.

  • The Nurse's Office
    Mar 5 2025

    Dan's first of two stories is centered around a school nurse who claims her encounter literally ended her career. It’s very intense, and not fun to think that what she claims to have witnessed could be real. For his second story, Dan will share the haunted lore of South Carolina’s Oakwood Cemetery, and an encounter that took place there. Lynze gives us two spoopy tales and one heart-warming story of confirmation. Her first story takes out to the woods where a bunch of kids party with the unknown. Then, someone is joined in bed by a not-so-comforting visitor. And finally, a beautiful story of a mom speaking to her son from the great beyond.

    Bad Magic New Merch Monday: Introducing the Scared to Death Snakes Tee featuring a prominent classic sigil icon surrounded by some serious spoopy snakes. We also have this illustration available on a tank top for the upcoming sunny weather season! AND it made for a sweet mousepad design so check that out as well.

  • The Exorcism Of Joan Vollmer
    Feb 26 2025

Then Dan shares the lore and modern encounters surrounding the abandoned Manteno State Hospital south of Chicago. Real life horror, and paranormal horror. Lynze shares one of the best and strangest ouija board fan tales ever! Then she wraps up the episode with what she calls her favorite UFO story to date!
