Scared To Death

In this thirty-second installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to Bristol County, Massachusetts, where struggling horror author Brad Collins's desperation for another hit book leads him to experiment with the occult. When he realizes that his words - if they even are his words - have tragic real life consequences, will he stop writing? Or will he still finishBurn the Witch? This episode was scored by Logan Keith.

A man in his 40s has a recollection of a very strange incident from his childhood but only recalls it after his brother passes away. Listen as Dan unfolds this creepy childhood tale. Then we visit a poltergeist case from Columbus, Ohio that made national headlines back in 1984. The story of Tina Resch and the so-called Columbus Poltergeist. After Dan's stories, Lynze gives us a little bit lighter scares but are super fun and fascinating. First, the Hat Man and how one might manifest him. Then, she shares about an attachment that seems to be shared by three family members.  Scared To Death Merch: Celebrate 300 episodes of Scared to Death with the killer new '300 Rituals' collection.

We start this week in Brownwood, Texas where a murder  tragic murder may have added additional paranormal energy to a property already rumored to be haunted.  Then, is a spirit sending emails from the great beyond?  A short and very strange confirmation-type tale that really makes you wonder what’s possible. Lastly, we head to Los Angeles to explore the reportedly haunted Sowden House, where some think Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, may have been murdered. And that her killer may haunt this location. Then we go to Lynze's side of the show for another three tales. First, we examine the power of the hat man. Can he change us and our destiny? Next up, a creepy haunted house vibe with a construction worker being not-so-alone during his work day. And lastly, the tale of a possible new creature to fear!    Scared To Death Merch: Celebrate 300 episodes of Scared to Death with the killer new '300 Rituals' collection.

In this thirty-first installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to Upstate New York's Woodhull Mountain, where Gabe and Hassan see a very strangely placed house on the side of the hill while out on a hike. When Gabe enters the house, he leaves behind our world, and enters a space outside of it - a dark and mysterious space dedicated mostly... to pain. This episode was scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to experience the full effect of all the creepy background noises! If you like this episode, please let us know wherever you rate and review podcasts.

Dan's first of two tales is a modern encounter story set in Sauk Centre, Minnesota’s Palmer Hotel. Lynze, of course, was excited when she heard "sock" center!  The second story shares the haunted history of Kansas City, Missouri’s St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. Does the ghost of an early church leader still haunt its grounds? Then Lynze comes to us with three stories. Her first reminds us of how creepy kids toys can be. Then, an ongoing family situation with a family has one person asking what she married in to! Lastly, a gentle and loving ghost tale to remind us to be grateful for what we DO have in life!  Monthly Patreon Donation: This month we are donating $11,620 to Farm Rescue, which is the only nonprofit organization of its kind providing farm and ranch families with the operational support they need in times of crisis.
