  • The Nurse's Office
    Mar 5 2025

    Dan's first of two stories is centered around a school nurse who claims her encounter literally ended her career. It’s very intense, and not fun to think that what she claims to have witnessed could be real. For his second story, Dan will share the haunted lore of South Carolina’s Oakwood Cemetery, and an encounter that took place there. Lynze gives us two spoopy tales and one heart-warming story of confirmation. Her first story takes out to the woods where a bunch of kids party with the unknown. Then, someone is joined in bed by a not-so-comforting visitor. And finally, a beautiful story of a mom speaking to her son from the great beyond.

  • The Exorcism Of Joan Vollmer
    Feb 26 2025

    The first tale this week is the disturbing story of an exorcism that took place in a small town in Australia in 1993. It is upsetting on so many levels. Then Dan shares the lore and modern encounters surrounding the abandoned Manteno State Hospital south of Chicago. Real life horror, and paranormal horror. Lynze shares one of the best and strangest ouija board fan tales ever! Then she wraps up the episode with what she calls her favorite UFO story to date!

  • There's A Little Boy Up There
    Feb 19 2025

    Dan's first story today is the retelling of the moments that led to one young woman becoming a firm believer in the paranormal. She sees something… experiences something… that she just can’t deny. Then, we’ll explore the lore behind a curse associated with New Hampshire and Maine’s Saco River. Lynze brings three fan stories. The first is an intense reminder to steer clear of ouija boards. Then, a creepy but not too creepy telling of ghost that has seemed to linger in the same machine shop for thirty or so years. Then, to finish out the show, a really bothersome story about a possessed stuffy!

  • Introducing RUN, FOOL!: Stairway to Hell
    Feb 15 2025

    Hi Creeps and Peepers! Today we wanted to share a bonus episode with you from the RUN, FOOL! Podcast from our friends at Ballen Studios. We hope you love it!

    Every week on RUN, FOOL!, you’ll hear a terrifying tale from the mind of Rodney Barnes. If you love monsters, demons, vampires, and the occult (which we know you do), you’re going to love how these stories make you question what’s real.

    In this episode, two college roommates explore a cursed chapel rumored to house a stairway to hell, only to awaken their darkest fears.

    New episodes of RUN, FOOL! come out every Tuesday, and you can follow and listen anywhere you get your podcasts.

  • He's In My Phone
    Feb 12 2025

    Dan shares a tale around a young man thinking he’s being haunted by something in his phone. It's a sad tale, it's a creepy tale. Then, his second story covers some of the lore that surrounds California’s Lost Lake. What spirits and also creatures might be hiding in and around its water? Lynze shares three fan submissions this week. The first two come from one fan and potentially show what we can access if we are open. Then, in her final story, a very peculiar story that might be an alien story as suggested by the submitter... but maybe not.

    Hang out with Dan and Lynze (and some other amazing creators) this November at CrimeWaveAtSea! A spoopy cruise! crimewaveatsea.com/scared
