Scared To Death

We begin this week in  1970’s Sardinia, where a quiet, deeply devout teenage girl began to wake up every night at exactly 3:00 a.m., convinced something terrible was standing next to her bed… watching her… and waiting to enter her. Then we head to Christmas Day, 1929, when a well-liked North Carolina farmer committed the unspeakable. Has it spawned paranormal activity? Then we find ourselves visiting the same house, ten years apart, both times the home is for sale and empty... or is it? Lastly, a sweet, sad and comforting tale of a couple so deeply connected, not even death can keep them apart.

"Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no home… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a demon or a ghoul… Whatever thou be until thou art removed… thou shalt find here no water to drink… Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand to our own… Into our house enter thou not. 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."

In this forty-ninth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we travel to Tromsø, Norway, where during the small, vibrant city's long, dark winter, a morning meeting at Kessel Technologies AS has been interrupted by violence. And soon, a few executives will learn that the man coming for them is not what they should fear the most...

Dan takes us to downtown Dallas, across from Union Station, to an old hotel that’s changed names so many times it’s like it keeps trying to hide from its past. Room 1009 doesn't seem to care what the hotel is called, though. Stories of encounters with its ghosts remain unchanged. The room allegedly has a long, sordid history of murders and suspicious deaths tied to it. Then we explore the lore of the elegant Adolphous Hotel. It’s been collecting tragedy since the first month it opened. On the nineteenth floor, guests still report hearing a woman sobbing like her heart is breaking in real time. Lynze starts off with a possible Grim Reaper sighting on the night of a confirmed death. Then, we head to Key West AKA Bone Island, for a ghost tour with an actual ghost. Lastly, on a long drive home after a long week of work, a man encounters someone who seems to have wandered out of their final resting place.

Dan gets us going with an unsolved paranormal mystery double headed this year! A  nursing student who crashed her car on a lonely New Hampshire highway in the middle of a winter night seemingly vanished . Locals whisper that Route 112 is haunted by “the Woman of the Woods,” a figure seen walking the tree line before other strange crashes and disappearances. Did Maura Murray step into the forest that night to somewhere the living can’t follow? Then we explore the story of Barbara Bolick, who  took a short day hike and in less than a minute she was simply… gone. Then Lynze kicks off 2026 with three tales. The first, a strange man in a large house is giving a group of teenagers the scare of a lifetime. Next up, a grown adult experiences a very private and very noisy encounter with a bathroom ghost. Lastly, what is keeping someone awake, late at night, just outside their window?
