About this episode
"The feeling of being watched returned. It wasn’t an unusual feeling to get, out in a country road. Animals were often watching from the bushes, deer or sometimes even mountain cats… but this was different. The thing that watching him felt…. smart. Dave couldn’t explain how. It just did. Then, from inside the house, he heard a crash rang out. And then he heard something else that make his skin craw l. It didn’t sound sinister exactly, not at first. But he definitely didn’t like it… a low chanting. Followed by the sound of a baby crying. “What the Hell was going on tonight?,” he wondered. Was there a full moon? Two full moons somehow? He’d just left a baby back in the car. And now he’s hearing another baby? And chanting?" Happy Thanksgiving, Creeps and Peepers! Much thanks for all of our fans, Robert's and Annabelle's! On today's show, Dan takes us all to one of the strangest places we have ever gone on Scared to Death, The Island of the Dolls. Why in the world would a man just up and leave him family to live, alone and secluded, on an island that he then COVERS in dolls? After years of living on the island, why does this man turn up dead? What have others discovered when visiting The Island of the Dolls? Are the dolls alive? Possessed? Is it all in their imaginations? From Mexico City, Dan takes us to Colorado. More specifically, we are going to Riverdale Road. This road is know by many to be extremely haunted. Listen to Dan share a tale of three credible witnesses who are lured in by the spirit of women with a decaying face, a woman who tries to burn them alive. Lynze pulls us back to more traditional stories. She also starts in Mexico and shares a long standing family story from a fan. Carrying on the theme of family stories, Lynze shares a tale from Donna, Dan's little sister, and her creepy kids. In both stories, we are left to wonder if kids are more prone to see ghosts and if so, why? Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers! Please keep doing so.

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
