The House of Evil

from Scared To Death · host Dan and Lynze Cummins

A young couple who move into a beautiful old house in upstate New York,  discover that something inside seems capable of doing far more than simply frightening its occupants, in Dan's first story. As the years pass, unexplained footsteps, violent disturbances, apparitions, accidents, and disturbing changes in the people who live there leave them wondering whether or not the house itself is slowly destroying everyone who stays too long. Then, two professional puppeteers living above their basement theater in Greenwich Village begin sharing their old townhouse with phantom footsteps, the scent of mysterious perfume, and an elegantly dressed stranger who appears and disappears without explanation. Then Hans Holzer arrives with a medium—and what begins as an unusually charming haunting takes a sudden dark turn.Then, Lynze has three stories that are all connected, similarly to Dan's! Ironic! Her tales explore various kinds of spirits in haunted houses. It sure does make you wonder how often we are surrounded by the dead, how often we simply brush things off or miss signals from the other side.  Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

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."
