Description

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 Familiar, Wollyburger, My Wife Is Doing It Again
Hunted at the Idanha Hotel
2026/11/04
So fun this week to stay in Idaho for Dan's tales. From Boise to his home town of Riggins, the tales are really great! We head to downtown Boise, to a historic hotel that has accumulated more than a century of ghost stories, including tales of a murdered bellman, a woman stabbed to death with scissors, and a terrible presence that violently attacks residents. And when one woman moved into a fourth-floor apartment, she claims to have discovered that even the hotel's ghosts are terrified of something sinister lurking within its walls. The we go deep into Idaho's remote Salmon River wilderness, where whitewater rafters have recently reported seeing a mysterious woman dressed in white, standing alone in places no person should be able to reach. Who is this strange figure, why has she seemingly appeared only recently, and could she be the restless spirit of one of several remarkable women who once called the River of No Return home? Lynze has two very unique and strange tales this week. They could be paranormal, could be glitches in the matrix or could be something else entirely, though who knows what. A gas station that is haunted but also protects the woman working there followed by the most bizarre experience in a Denny's. Hope to see you there for pancakes!   Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities? Join us on Patreon! Want to be a Patron?

The Witch Farm
2026/10/28
Happy Halloween, Creeps and Peepers! We hope you enjoy this weeks show! Tonight, Dan will take you to an isolated farmhouse in the Welsh countryside, where one family's dream home allegedly became the site of seven years, off and on, of escalating paranormal terror—phantom footsteps, impossibly high electrical bills, disturbing apparitions, dead animals, spiritual possession, and something enormous and black moving through the halls. Lynze's first tale is just so upsetting. A man goes missing in the woods. Then weeks later, 911 calls come from seemingly nowhere but also, in the vicinity of where he was last known to be. Who's calling? Lastly, a family continues to experience dark things in this world, 25 years after their Dad opened a toolbox in their rental home.   Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

The Ijiraq
2026/10/21
We begin deep in the Canadian Arctic.  Inuit tradition warns of a mysterious being that can become invisible, disguise itself as an animal, and lure travelers farther and farther into a frozen wilderness from which they may never return. This creature isn't merely an old legend—because some still claim to have encountered one themselves. Then we go across the frozen wilderness of Lapland where an old Sámi tradition tells of murdered or abandoned children whose restless spirits can still be heard crying from the places where their bodies were hidden. Lastly, for Dan's stories, generations of Inuit children have been warned not to wander too close to cracks in Arctic sea ice, because something beneath the frozen surface may be watching and waiting to drag them into the black water below. Tonight, we'll explore the legend of the Qallupilluit! Then, Lynze has four stories for us. She begins in Iraq where a young child is certain she has seen a demon. Then, another weird one about a glowing cube that two people both see and hear. So strange. For her third story, is it a real man or is it a creature we don't know yet? And lastly, a sweet little tale to round out this wide variety of tales this week!  Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities?

The Jinn Castle
2026/10/14
We begin on an island in the Persian Gulf where four soldiers are assigned to guard an isolated military outpost. They allegedly died together under mysterious and terrifying circumstances. Years later, another man would approach this now abandoned post after dark and claim to witness something incredibly bizarre. What might actually live at this place, and what may have killed those soldiers? Then we go to Egypt, to an extravagant royal palace that underwent a macabre transformation from a house of life and light to home of the dead. Then, we have a classic haunted house tale. It's been a while since a story here really focused on the hell a house can bring to your life. And then lastly, a very upsetting encounter in a cemetery. Human or otherwise, it's really bothersome.  Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities? Join us on Patreon! Want to be a Patron?

The Haunted Halls Of Gonjiam
2026/10/07
We’ll head to South Korea and into the decaying halls of one of the nation’s most infamous allegedly haunted locations, where four university students will discover that some urban legends may have a little more truth behind them than they’d like. What begins with the strange sound of something bouncing on an empty floor above them will end with the students trapped between two horrors.  Then, we’ll travel to Japan, where in 1974 a young farmer claimed that a knock on his door at three o’clock in the morning led to an absolutely terrifying supernatural encounter involving several extraterrestrials and their spacecraft. Next up, we are back in the US and in Gettysburg where a group of strangers share a very real paranormal experience all caught on tape! Lastly, a young child hears a voice throughout their life. After loosing someone they love, the voice comes back. Who was it? And how did this happen?   WHAT: THE 8TH ANNUAL BAD MAGIC GIVING TREE! WHEN: GIFT CARD DONATIONS- MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH thru MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th ASSISTANCE: SUBMIT YOUR NAME VIA EMAIL BETWEEN OCTOBER 5TH AND OCTOBER 15TH.  RECIPIENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF SUPPORT ON OCTOBER 24TH. WHERE: Email [email protected] WHO: 35 FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE SUPPORT THIS YEAR For eight years now, we have been hosting the Bad Magic Giving Tree. This is a project so near and dear to my heart. I have been on both sides of a holiday giving tree. I personally appreciate what it meant to my family and I the year our gifts came from a community resource. Now as someone facilitating the giving, I am reminded of what an honor and privilege it is to give back. This years process will mimic last years. Here is how it will all work: Everyone who would like their children to be considered needs to email ONLY YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME to [email protected] . NOTHING MORE. ONE submission per family, PLEASE. Duplicates will be deleted.  We will enter all of the names into a random generator, aka put all the names in a hat, and allow the names to be chosen at random. Everyone will receive an email, regardless of their outcome. Submit your name between October 5th and October 15th. No names will be accepted after October 15th. By October 24th, everyone will be notified. Those whose names were picked from the hat will be given next steps. As in years past, we will be applying the December monthly donation to this amazing giving tree and will be giving this money right back to our community. We continue to ask and encourage our community to donate Amazon gift cards to the cause. For ease, all of the shopping happens this way. For every extra dollar donated to the cause, Dan and I will match it, up to $13K. If you have $5 or $10 bucks or more that you’d be willing to donate, I assure you, it adds up! Alone we can do so little but together we are deeply powerful. Last year, the fans sent an additional $14K! If you are able to help, please go to amazon.com to purchase a digital gift card.
