About this episode
SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's stories today are set in America and both in historically significant settings. Massachusetts’ Longfellow’s Wayside Inn and the ghost of a former employee - perhaps succubus of sorts that’s been haunting the place for over a century-and-a-half is the show opener. Then we’ll head south a bit to Maryland, and look into various claims of spirits that may haunt historic Fort McHenry the site of a battle that inspired the writing of America’s Star Spangled Banner. Next up, Lynze has some wild, cool and interesting tales. first off, a tale of a funeral director and his encounter with the Smoking Man. Then, a super creepy run in with an old hag, trying to lure in young children. New Merch : Amazing new VHS lamps in the Bad Magic store this week. Check this out! Each handmade lamp features a real VHS tape that looks as if it was buried in the back yard. Evidence of something perhaps? The beginning of a new “found footage” horror movie? Or just the sickest horror-themed lamp ever created ? These are seriously so cool. Very very limited quantity of these - DEFINITELY a specialty item, they’re handmade - so head on over quick to badmagicmerch.com if your interested and snag yours!

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."
