The Devil Of Glenluce

Dan offers an old story from the small town of Glenluce, Scotland, where a family was tormented by the Devil himself in the late 17th century.  After that, we head to Baltimore, Maryland to examine a poltergeist case from 1960. Were Edgar Jones, his wife, son-in-law, daughter, and grandson terrorized by a poltergeist? Lynze will take us on an emotional roller coaster this week! Her haunted house story leaves us asking, once again, about where mental health and the paranormal intersect. Then, a stunning story about the loss of a friend and her sweet goodbyes. Lastly, possibly one of the best alien encounters we have ever shared here!  Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so!!

The Ghost of Mary Ann Cotton

Dan has two very different tales this week. His first story shares a dark history of a woman who killed many, many people including her own children. Despite being gone from this earth for an incredibly long period of time, is it possible she still has more killing to do? Then we head to Mexico City where we explore a possible demonic possession that went incredibly wrong for someone who was only trying to help. Lynze's first story this week seems pretty straightforward but a few special details make it so creepy and unsettling. Then, in her last story, she shares a real life awful story that leads to a beautiful story with a very happy ending. It's been a while since we had a paranormal palette cleanser.

The Cresson Creeper

Dan's stories at not Thanksgiving related, but one does center around a family get together: a funeral. But first, a story  based in the haunted lore that surrounds  Pennsylvania’s currently abandoned  Cresson Sanatorium. We'll hear  the history of the sanatorium, paranormal lore, and a really creepy modern encounter claim.  Then his second story revolves around a disturbing incident at a funeral. Lynze has two non-thanksgiving tales as well. We start out with a tale about lost time. This phenomena is endlessly creepy to us. Then a story about a dark, shadowy entity is shared by Lynze.  Bad Magic Holiday Merch: The 2024 Holiday Collection!Take a good look at fan favorite, Ezra Calhoun from The Beast of Bodie, or grab your duffel bag for a stay at the 1987 Shiloh Bible Camp from The Devil's Butcher.

What's Your Emergency?

Dan's first story is  weird. We had a hard time tracking it and understanding it  so if you have trouble too - don’t worry. We’ll talk afterwards and clear up any confusion. Then, we’ll visit what sure seems to be a powerfully and malevolently haunted former seminary room in Maynooth in County Kildare, Ireland. A haunting that reads like the basis for a really good horror movie. Then, Lynze shares an interesting haunted apartment story where a family lives in two separate apartments in the same building that both seem to be plagued by the same "something". What is it? Where does it stem from? Then, lastly, a creepy mimmic tale. Or is it? This weeks entire show is really weird and does not offer a ton of solutions, making it that much scarier.    Bad Magic Holiday Merch: The 2024 Holiday Collection!Take a good look at fan favorite, Ezra Calhoun from The Beast of Bodie, or grab your duffel bag for a stay at the 1987 Shiloh Bible Camp from The Devil's Butcher.

Nightmare Fuel #19: Unknown Caller

In this nineteenth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to New Orleans, where a man is found in dead in his home that he had boarded up in the final days of his life. He'd also smashed his phones and TV and posted sticky notes all over the walls, many of them centered on being tormented by something that was calling him on the phone. And then the phone of one of the paramedics declaring the man dead starts to ring. An unknown caller. The first of many, many, many calls from this increasingly disturbing unknown caller... This episode was scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to experience the full effect of all the creepy background noises!

Then Lynze has a tale that takes to Boy Scouts Camp and a disembodied voice calling out to the void.
