  • Summary

  • 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.

    What's Down There?
    Sep 11 2024
    Thanks to our fans who listen on iHeart! We are so grateful for the extra love from them! Dan kicks off this weeks show with a doozy! Neither are normal when it comes to subject matter. No ghosts today. No demons. No shadow people or even cryptids. Both have an extraterrestrial spin to them. The first deals with a woman in the late 1960s encountering something horrifying and seemingly not of this world. It’s a very strange story. Then, a series of encounters with UFOS, and possibly extraterrestrial beings as well, spotted around Russia, primarily back in 1989 when it was still the USSR. Lynze gives us a creepy but also funny tale about a haunted item brought home from GoodWill. Then she shares a story that we suspect ties to Native American Folklore.

  • The House On Ithaca Street

    The House On Ithaca Street
    Sep 4 2024

    Dan's first story revolves around a Realtor trying and failing to sell a property that seems to clearly have something supernaturally wrong with it. Then is off to Eastern Canada, between Montreal and Toronto. Two young men head out to go camping and see more than they bargained for. One of them swears off camping forever as a result! Lynze crushes this week with two tales! Her first is a classic haunted New Orleans hotel story. What could be more spoopy that that? Then, a ouija board tale like none we have ever told. It will stick with you and make you wonder just how powerful those boards might actually be.

No other podcast compares

Literally the best podcast out there. I’ve listened to every episode and wait for the next one to come out every week. Dan is a master storyteller can’t tell me different and Lindsay’s stories are always really good. This is the podcast I always recommend.

Hubby and wifey goals!

These two get to work together and do this for a living. How amazing! Dan is always funny, and Lindsay seems to reflect his sense of humor pretty well! The stories are so easy to get caught up in, and you’ll find yourself jumping.. I do anyway!
The storytelling done by Dan is laid out so well by the way! I know Lindsay doesn’t get that option..maybe because she does fan stories.. but her stories tend to be creepier than dans! Fantastically sweet balance y’all!

Creeper for sure!

Absolutely love this podcast! Dan and Linzey manage to be both funny and scary at the same time. The stories they are able to find are very scary and unique. I am 100% a creeper. I love all creepy things and I love that Dan is able to find stories scary enough to give even me goosebumps!

true spooky tales

Dan and Lynze narrate some great, supposedly true horror stories. I especially enjoy the fan stories, which can't be found anywhere else! There's definitely a believe- ability to these. A lot of podcasts have very fake sounding horror stories, but these are more crisp and realistic to me. I love their open minded point of view on the supernatural. It could all be fake, but it only takes *one* true story...
