    The Ghost of Roland Edwards

    25/02/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    We start this week in New Zealand where a man goes ghost hunting in the supposedly very haunted former Napier Prison. Did he have an intense encounter with building’s most infamous spirit?  Then, Dan shares three smaller tales:  first involves two people hanging out alone in a park at night,  having a very strange, dangerous, and disturbing encounter.  Then we get a creepy baby monitor story. And the lastly,  a series of confusing and disturbing texts between two people freaks us out! Lynze has her usual two tales this week. The first takes us to the middle of nowhere for a possible UFO encounter with lasting affects. Her second story brings us a haunted house that seems to be trying to tell someone something.

    The Offering

    18/02/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    A quiet housesitting job in the Danish countryside is nothing but peace and silence until two strange visitors ringed the doorbell in Dan's first story of the week. Then, we travel to the small town of Fouke, Arkansas. Is the Fouke Monster just folklore… or something very real that’s still around?A call to a pest company regarding some flies leads to a very creepy realization in Lynze's first story this week. Then she takes us to a college campus for a modern encounter and the lore of the faceless nun.

    Brunckow's Bloody Cabin

    11/02/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    We head to the Arizona desert,  just a few miles outside of Tombstone, where there sits a small adobe ruin with a body count that defies belief. More than twenty men are thought to have been murdered on this small, dusty patch of land - and according to decades of witnesses, some of them have never stopped killing each other. This is the story of Brunckow Cabin. Then we head to South Carolina - to the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort, located next to the Preserve at Verdae Golf Course. A place where one of our longtime researchers, Olivia Lee, had her very own paranormal experience. Then we are told a tale from a fan who isn't sure what was outside their window- creepy hands or more? Lastly, a women goes on a solo trip to connect with her self. While glamping, she does all of the fun things, including paddleboarding. While out on the water, she encounters something that seeps its way into her dreams.

About Scared To Death

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.
