    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's  first story to share this week revolves around a clock. While it might not sound so scary, it's actually terrifying. Could a clock be built as an occult object? Could it have some sort of demonic entity attached to it? Let's find out! Next, the story of a ton of UFO sightings coming from Italy in October of 1954. Could roughly 10,000 people have all seen the same UFOs at a football match? Lynze has some animal themed tales this week, which is kind of funny but not really. Her first story features a bunny, which is known to be a symbol of the underworld. What was this particular bunny up to? And then, her worst nightmare, frogs! What is going on with these frogs throwing themselves up against a window?

Does her angry spirit now behave in ways similar to how people worried she acted like in life? Did the torment she received create the monster her former neighbors worried about? Then what do you do if your child is regularly seeing ghosts in your home? Ghosts you can't see, but you do find proof that what she's saying sure does not seem made up. Three more tales on the back half of this episode. A seemingly normal stop for a bite to eat at a diner turns into a  less than normal evening for one man. Next up, are the aliens playing jokes on us? This tale is similar to one we heard last week. And finally, one of everyone's fear come true- something in the closet reaching out for you. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:This month's charity will be Sustainable Alamance, a non profit based in North Carolina.

How can two women who have nothing in common except for dating the same man, 4 years apart, experience the exact some paranormal entity in said man's parents home? Lastly, a ghost on a mission to save her still living family-  a sweet tale to wrap it up! SHOW DAN SOME LOVE!

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has his  normal two stories again. And there's a theme with them both -faith seemingly conquering evil. The first story is set in the present day - centered around a woman living alone in North Carolina in what she'd hoped was going to be her dream home. And then a real bad former resident tries to turn her dream into a nightmare. Next, we travel over a hundred years back in time and head to southern India. A prominent family is terrorized by an entity that likes to play with fire. Literally. Lynze has three stories this week. A story about a possibly haunted gravesite, a strange tale that might make you wonder if it was a ghost or a prank and then the creepiest little story about what kids can see that we cannot.  New Merch:  We're excited to bring back an old favorite The 2023 Bad Magic Street Team!  The stickers will be available on Wednesday, August 2nd, Noon PST.  We'll have 500 packs of 10 available to ship out.

Wherever you feel comfortable sticking ‘em. On your forehead. Your neighbor's forehead. That cool spot in the record shop bathroom where every one puts stickers. I remember in past years, finding them on hiking trails, ski lifts, rest stop stalls, all over the place. It was so fun. Post your pics - get creative - on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTik - little videos/static images, whatever - and hashtag with #BadMagicStreetTeam . Thank you so much for helping us get the word out about our shows. The contest will last until October 2nd at Noon PT.

The long story revolves around a social worker growing suspicious that something is really, really not right at the home of one of her clients. And when she checks on the kids, that suspicion is really, REALLY confirmed. Next some lore and a modern paranormal encounter out in the woods of Connecticut on the supposedly haunted, and abandoned, Downs Road. Lynze has three tales to share this week. Her first one is about some unwanted but possibly harmless visitors. Her second story has Dan and Lynze pondering the intersection of  mental health and the paranormal.

Then a quick one about the Blood Town Forest, aka the Blood Forest, a patch of haunted woods just outside of the little town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Some locals looked into the legends and ended up scaring the Hell out of themselves. Lastly, we'll look into another story associated with Ed and Lorraine Warren - Southern California's Moffitt Family haunting. Possible demonic activity surrounding the Moffitt Family where many people seemed to have witnessed a lot of hard to rationally explain occurrences.  Then Lynze will share her usual two tales.

The first story is full of claims of a young family from in the 90s, coming in from a small city in Eastern Australia.Then we examine the story of the Black Flash. Did a shadowy, but seemingly physically very real creature terrorize the residents of a quaint little Cape Cod, Massachussetts summer town? Lynze dazzles us with three spoopy tales. An imaginary friend who might be a friend or might be something else. That is followed up with a strange situation with a woman calling for a man. But who is she and why is she calling out?

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's first story is mostly set in a hotel located somewhere we aren't sure. Whoever posted this tale never gave an exact location and there are several hotels around the country that have had the name “Sunway Hotel.” It's a nice twist on the creepy haunted hotel story.  The next story is about a mythical creature from Mayan mythology - the Alux, a creepy little creature some people still believe in - like the current President of Mexico. Lynze has three stories, each on the shorter side, which makes them pack a fast paced punch. Her first tale explores ghosts in the graveyard, then she guides us to a hostel for a spoopy tale and then she rounds out the episode with a strange story that is hard to explain without giving it away!New Merch:  A killer new Wendigo design now available in store. A super cool illustration featuring a pretty grotesque Wendigo-inspired creature, trapped in some sort of glowing magic spell.

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. We are heading to an abandoned and allegedly haunted asylum in New York state - Letchworth Village. Some history first, mentions of the types of sightings claimed to have occurred there, and then a super creepy modern encounter claim. Next, we'll explore some near death experience cases. Not everyone claims to see a white light when they die… some people have claimed to have literally gone to Hell and been given a little taste of what some believe awaits much of humanity in an afterlife. Then to Vermont for two tales from different locations: Brattleboro Retreat and Hamilton Falls. Closing out the episode with a hat man story that might leave you wondering if we have been wrong about the hat man all along.  New Merch:  Very cool new 'Planchette' design now available. A simple 2 color design featuring a bejeweled skull planchette and our classic S2D logo and book of ghosts icon. You can choose between a tee and baseball tee.

This tale is based on some supposedly true stories. Sophie Evans found all this. She was clearly on the same page as I was last week, when it came to worrying about how modern technology and paranormal horror can collide today. His second story is a little one. Just a peek into the rumors that India's Bhangarh Fort is not just haunted, but curse. We'll look at two origin stories for the curse, and at a few claims of paranormal encounters. Lynze shares story of a family haunting turned attachment that started in New York and has traveled to North Carolina. Her last tale about a possible skinwalker had Dan in stitches. Not the usual aim here but that's how it shook out!New Merch:  For merch this week, a terrifying depiction of a poor soul's face burning alive. It's hard to imaging a more terrifying death that being literally scorched. The new 'Flaming Face' mini collection includes a tee, coffee mug, and wall canvas.

It deals with a woman being tormented in a way not quite like what we've covered here before. A slightly new method of mental torture. While that first story is an alleged modern encounter, Dan's second story is an old one. It begins in the 17th century. Did the Devil use her to write a strange, mysterious, cryptic letter that was only finally decoded a little over five years ago?  Lynze will share just one tale about a  haunted family heirloom.  New Merch: We also just dropped a bunch of fun new stickers!

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. For Dan's first story, we go to the little mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, from 1892. Probably doesn't sound too terrifying. But, just imagine dealing with the worst kinds of paranormal horror that we've talked about here many times in the sense of it happening in recent years, where you can go stay with relatives, or get a priest or shaman, etc., to perform some kind of blessing - but now you have no one to help you and nowhere to go. You're just stuck - as in, snowed in a homestead cabin kind of stuck - with something evil. Then Dan shares some history and then a smattering of recent paranormal sightings from England's very historic Colchester  Castle. Lynze will share two similarly themed tales this week about little ghost boys showing up for different people in different places! What does it mean when a little boy shows up?
