True horror fan Dan Cummins attempts to terrify his wife Lynze with two new alleged-to-be-true tales each week. Demonic possession, poltergeists, shadow people, and more! Subscribe and listen in the dark to your new weekly nightmare.

Today, Dan will take you to a haunted little lighthouse island in Maine to explore sightings of spirits and the tragedies that might have led to them. Then, we’ll go to Mineral Wells, Texas where we’ll explore two haunted buildings - an old hotel, and an old bordello. And THEN, we’ll keep heading West, and land in Tombstone, Arizona. A town famous for it’s Wild West days, and a town full of several haunted locations that have reportedly been haunted SINCE those days. Lynze also has three awesome stories this week. We examine a bizarre sound on the roof of a young family that seems easy to pass of but alas.... Then we hear from a fan who calls himself a "redneck empath". He's a great example of being open to the other side, regardless. Lastly, a military man experiences what may, or may not, be a skinwalker.

Scared To Death

The Ghosts of Tombstone

Dan's first story  first revolves around Black Aggie - the name of a statue that sat for years in a Maryland cemetery and attracted a number of paranormal claims, many of which were featured in various articles in the Baltimore press. Then we explore some Cherokee Folklore. The story of the Yunwi Tsunsdi  aka…. the “Little People.” Most of the stories come from the area of Hickory Nut Gorge, North Carolina. A haunted house trifecta from Lynze this week is sure to please! Her first two tales are quick classic with the children of the home knowing that it's haunted but the parents brushing it off... until they too find confirmation. Her third tale takes us back to the Whaley House in San Diego! Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Please keep doing so.Send them to <a href="mailto:mystory@scaredtodeathpodcast.com" target="_blank">mystory@scaredtodeathpodcast.com</a>Send everything else to <a href="mailto:info@scaredtodeathpodcast.com" target="_blank">info@scaredtodeathpodcast.com</a>Want to be a Patron?

Nightmare Fuel #7: Vacancy

Dan has two excellent scares this week. The first comes from friend of one of our staff. It is CREEPY. What starts off looking like a bad case of sleep paralysis  or nightmares ends up  being a very real case of an encounter with a pair of disturbing entities. Then we have a ghost story from the American Civil War era. Despite taking place over 150 years ago, it was well documented by some local newspapers. It’s a very odd story that is sad and scary. Lynze has three stories this week! She shares a tale about a possible sighting of spear finger on a dark road. Then, she shares with us one of those bizarre stories about time and space not being quite right. Lastly, a military story that left some servicemen beyond scared. Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, on April 23rd, we celebrate World Book Day! As lovers of knowledge and escapism, books are some of our most favorite things to spend our time and money on. In honor of World Book Day, this months donation will be going to “First Book”, a non profit working to inspire young minds through books. They believe that books are a critical resource for kids but they can be scarce for those who are disadvantaged. In fact, “First Book” has discovered “book deserts” in low-income communities, often revealing just ONE book to be shared amongst 830 kids. You heard that right! If books have helped you escape hard times, provided you with entertainment or education, then you know just how important books are! We are sending $12,950 to First Book!
