Happy end of 2023! You made it! We'd love it if you stuck around until the end of the show to hear some insight into Bad Magic and what we do here!  Dan has his two awesome stories, the first comes from northern Nevada. We’ll visit the former mining boom town of Gold Hill and learn about all the haunted lore that surrounds its old Yellow Jacket mine. Then, we’ll head to Georgia for the heavily documented 19th century haunting known as the Surrency Poltergeist. One of the most verified hauntings in American history. Lynze has three creepy stories to end the year. Her first asks us to look at the Norse gods as a possible character that might show up in your life. Then she takes us on a journey with a truck driver and an entity that has been with him all over the country. Lastly, she shares an especially creepy tale about a haunted hotel room! SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY.

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."
