Scared To Death

Dan Cummins, Lynze Cummins

About

The paranormal comes to life as husband-wife duo Dan Cummins (acclaimed standup comedian and true horror fan) and Lynze Cummins (costume and wardrobe stylist for numerous film and television productions) share terrifying stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on. Dan’s goal? To scare Lynze with creepy accounts of demonic possession, shadow people, and other eerie phenomena. And when he’s done, Lynze fights back with chilling fan-submitted tales of true horror. Together, they explore the darkest corners of the web, dusty old books, and even their own eerie surroundings—a studio filled with occult objects and located right next to a cemetery. Don’t forget to check out the mini-series Nightmare Fuel, airing on this feed the first and third Friday of every month, where Dan narrates a short piece of original horror fiction.

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.

Grandma Heidi's Little Children

Four very different and very interesting tales this week! Dan kicks us off with a story  somewhere in west Texas that centers around some Black Eyed Children. MAYBE. If not BEK, than what? Then, a second story that is set in two different locations in South Carolina, that both claim to be haunted, and both share the same name: The Rose Hill Plantation.  Lynze has two very unique tales this week. Her first explores vulture culture briefly and lost time and space amongst friends. What kind of chaos can you expect when exploring dead carcasses? Wrapping it up, the last tale is of astral projection. Such a heady concept that both Dan and Lynze have musings on.  BAD MAGIC PATREON DONATION: It’s back to school for those of us with kids and with that came the inspiration for this months charity.

What's Down There?

Dan kicks off this weeks show with a doozy! Neither are normal when it comes to subject matter. No ghosts today. No demons. No shadow people or even cryptids. Both have an extraterrestrial spin to them. The first deals with a woman in the late 1960s encountering something horrifying and seemingly not of this world. It’s a very strange story. Then, a series of encounters with UFOS, and possibly extraterrestrial beings as well, spotted around Russia, primarily back in 1989 when it was still the USSR. Lynze gives us a creepy but also funny tale about a haunted item brought home from GoodWill. Then she shares a story that we suspect ties to Native American Folklore.  STREET TEAM 2024: September 16th at 12 noon PT is when the stickers go live on our website- BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COM. http://badmagicproductions.com/Winner will be announced on November 4th on socials and on the shows- we record ahead of time so our personal announcement may be delayed so keep an eye on socials.  We are talking a $200 merch credit just by slapping some stickers around your neck of the woods!

Dan's  first story  revolves around a Realtor trying and failing to sell a property that seems to clearly have something supernaturally wrong with it.  Then is off to Eastern Canada, between Montreal and Toronto. Two young men head out to go camping and see more than they bargained for. One of them swears off camping forever as a result! Lynze crushes this week with two tales! Her first is a classic haunted New Orleans hotel story. What could be more spoopy that that? Then, a ouija board tale like none we have ever told.

It's Time to Wake Up

Dan starts with an alleged anonymous modern encounter involving a man hearing a girl’s voice as a child - a voice asking him to wake up, and a voice that keeps asking this for many, many years - well into adulthood. And then finally, something very strange happens that leaves him feeling certain that this voice did not just belong. Then, a tale that is about the mysterious and troubling disappearance of a young man who disappeared in the Idaho wilderness, not far from where Dan grew up, back in 2018.  Lynze takes us back to our childhoods with a creepy game of hide and seek. Then she wraps up this episode with an unexplainable story from an EMT.  PATREON MONTHLY DONATION: his month, we are donating to the Army of Survivors who’s mission is to bring awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes at all levels. Accountability for perpetrators and the institutions that enable them; Transparency so athletes do not fear retaliation when reporting abuse, and institutions do not cover it up.  Nearly 6 million children and young adults in the United States are survivors of sexual violence through their participation in sports. This translates to nearly 13% of all student-athletes — and likely many more than that — as we know this crime is consistently underreported. The culture of sports today often makes athletes feel like they have to say yes to whatever they are asked to do because otherwise their career, their love of their sport, or their identity within that sport, could be threatened. We empower athletes with compassion, strength, and courage to embrace the fundamental truth that they have a right to safety.  We will donate 13,760 to The Army of Survivors. We will put 1,530 into the scholarship fund for next year.

The Screaming Woods

We are off to Dering Wood for our first creepy tale this week! Dan has a bizarre tale for us all. Then he takes us to Lake Shawnee to explore the old grounds of an abandoned amusement parl. Lynze discovers a new cryptid- the Fresno Nightcrawler! Yikes! Then we travel south to the swamps and bayous of Louisiana for a strange little story. Lastly, a small palate cleanser of psychic proportions!  STREET TEAM 2024: September 16th at 12 noon PT is when the stickers go live on our website- BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COM. http://BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COMWinner will be announced on November 4th on socials and on the shows- we record ahead of time so our personal announcement may be delayed so keep an eye on socials. Ok, let’s talk about Street Team now. The last 5 rounds have been an absolute blast!! We are talking a $200 merch credit just by slapping some stickers around your neck of the woods! Here’s the details… These stickers are free… but there will only be 500 sticker packs available… first come, first serve. Once they're gone, that's it… and only one sticker pack per person. Once you receive your stickers, all you have to do is slap them all over the place, snap a picture of where you put them, and then post that picture on IG and FB using the hashtag #BadMagicStreetTeam. That’s it!! The goal is to have fun with this. Don’t do anything stupid and let's grow this amazing Bad Magic community one sticker at a time. *LEGAL DISCLAIMER. BAD MAGIC WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY MISPLACED OR ILLEGALLY PLACED STICKERS. PLEASE USE DISCRETION AND BE SMART.
