SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan has two tales to tell.  The first one is a story about someone - name never given - who claims to have had a very intense and terrifying paranormal encounter, completely out of nowhere. No warning signs. No building up to it. Life is fine one moment, and they’re in Hell the next.  The second story includes some history, horror lore, and encounter claims coming from a place that bills itself as one of Australia’s most haunted places - the Monte Cristo homestead. Lynze has four short tales this week, trying to mix it up a bit.  She shares the stories of a call from a dead man, a creepy and possibly oppressed college roommate, a doppleganger and the shadow friends of a young child. New Merch:  It's time for BOOK NUMBER FOUR!!!  Annabelles, you can get your autographed book before anyone else with your secret password, when you  PRE ORDER  on  FRIDAY, JULY 21ST AT 12 NOON PACIFIC TIME.  Then on  JULY 25TH AT 12:00 PM PT, the remaining 1,000 autographed books will be on pre order for everyone.  Everyone will have access to continue ordering book number four until they sell out.

Located in rural Texas, they serve a population of people who can hardly afford healthcare for themselves. The shelters are beyond capacity and Texas ranks high (top 1 or 2, depends on where you look for the stats) in the nation for euthanizing animals. With this donation, we are hoping to ease the burden of pet owners in this area, as this organization is in the middle of building a mobile spay/neuter clinic.  If you are able to support your local shelters in any way, please do! We will circle back in the coming weeks to announce the total given to this charity. Please visit hchstexas.com for more info. Standup:Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd... well you will have to wait until this fall!
