  • In this thirty-third installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we return to Bristol County, Massachusetts, where struggling horror author Brad Collins has completed his new book, Burn the Witch, and it appears as if it will catapult him to fame and fortune. But at what cost? Is he really capable of paying the full toll? And if not, will Marina allow him to renege on their blood pact?

  • Dan showers us with four tales for the 300th episode today! The first story revolves around real world tragedy in Virginia intersecting with the supernatural. Then, a mysterious death in Australia. This is followed by a third story about a disturbing legend in Africa that might be much more than modern folklore. Lastly, claims of an alien abduction bring us to Maine. Lynze rounds out this week with one tale about a couple of teens exploring an abandoned house and then takes us on a very peculiar ride to the UK for an unusual alien encounter.

  • We begin this week in Pennsylvania with a story that involves a woman who starts to believe that something in her new house is coming for her family and trying to take it from her. Then, Dan takes us to Brazil to explore one of the more disturbing legends ever. The legend of Bárbara of the Pleasures. But Bárbara’s story, is not so pleasurable. When her looks began to fade, did an aging woman in the early 19th century, once heralded as a legendary beauty, do the unthinkable to regain her youthful attractiveness? Next up, Lynze offers us a story with many complex layers ranging from sleep paralysis to cosmic connections. Rounding out the episode, she gives us a classic haunted house story!

  • Dan's first of two tales covers the lore and supposed paranormal encounters associated with Dublin, Ireland’s St. Michan’s Church and the dead bodies that reside in the crypts beneath it. Then, we’ll venture over Lake Pleasant, New York, and learn about some rumored murders associated with one of the town’s founding fathers and the hauntings associated with those deaths. Lynze offers us three different tales this week. Her first is sad and sweet, a tale of a life taken to soon but possibly still here. Then, how strange would it be if strangers outside of your apartment could see a ghost in your home but you couldn't? Lastly, does watching horror flicks at home make you, your family and your personal space more susceptible to spirits moving in with you? What a crazy idea!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Supposedly true tales this week from Dan include a story about an elderly widow living alone in the early 1980s and her visitors. Then, we’ll bounce around the world to a number of so-called “phantom islands.” Can an island discovered by numerous explorers inexplicably just disappear? And, if so, what does that mean? Then, Lynze brings us three tales in a death sandwich of stories, if you will. Her first is sweet and sad and gives us hope for a connection to our deceased loved ones. Then, a home is not haunted until it is- did a fire wake up a ghost? Lastly, the grim reaper or the man in black comes for an old man.

  • In this thirtieth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to the tropical jungle of Vietnam's Annamese mountains. On a dark, rainy night in January of 1968, PsyWar Detachment Six - a six-man team and part of the US military’s shadowy MACV-SOG Command - was conducting black operations meant to terrify and break the spirits of the Viet Cong. But in the end, no one will be scared more than the soldiers themselves...

  • We are in a bit of a remote, wooded double feature today for Dan's tales. The first of two stories is composed out of what may have been a hermit’s final diary entries, as a man living alone in a remote cabin writes of something terrorizing him. Then we hear the legend of the Dungarvon Whooper, a folklore coming from an old logging camp in New Brunswick, Canada. Then Lynze gives us a life long but seemingly harmless attachment. Or is it? What's happening to this person? Lastly, what Dan says is possibly the most horrifying tale he's ever heard from Lynze- what happens when you cannot tell reality from nightmare?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • In this twenty-eighth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to 1989 and explore, along with the pawn shop owner who bought the camera that contained it, a tape of some chilling home video footage of two film students investigating an urban legend set inside a local abandoned insane asylum.

  • 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.

  • 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.
