The Girl On The Second Floor

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan's tales today takes us to  Arkansas, to the grounds of a former treatment facility for tuberculosis, a disease that ran rampant in the US for decades. We’ve learned that hospitals and asylums are hot beds for paranormal activity, and this Sanatorium is no different. And then, we head to Scotland and visit a haunted castle! Castle Fraser is reportedly haunted by numerous spirits. We share some history, a bit of lore, and two modern encounter claims. Lynze has two wonderfully spoopy tales this week. Her first tale about a small town where people going missing will have you wishing everyone there would GTFO. Then, she has a story about a possible alien abduction. It's weird story! SHOW DAN SOME LOVE! Mark your calendar for  Sunday, August 27th, 4PM , the debut of Dan's newest standup special, “Trying to Get Better” will be releasing for free on the Bad Magic Productions Youtube channel. PLEASE - share it! This is one of the best ways to support Dan! New Merch:  Introducing the "Life In Plastic" collection. A nod to the wildly successful Barbie movie release or something more sinister? It gives me heavy American Horror Story vibes. It also gives me heavy Lynze vibes.. a dead Lynze kinda vibe...Head to badmagicmerch.com Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:  This month’s charity will be Sustainable Alamance, a non profit based in North Carolina. The mission of Sustainable Alamance is to focus on and help individuals who were formerly incarcerated gain and sustain employment  so that they may not only live within the community constructs but to also contribute to society as well. Sustainable Alamance has this quote on their website and I just love it: Poverty is not a lack of money but a lack of resources. We believe that you can “give a man fish” (charity) and even “teach a man to fish” (grace and mercy) but we must also ensure access to the lake (hope and justice). If you’d like to learn more about Sustainable Alamance, you can visit sustainablealamance.org. $1,546 will be put into the scholarship fund and $13,915 to be donated to Sustainable Alamance. Standup:Standup: If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd (she is always happy to say HI!) get on over to   dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows.Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!**Please keep doing so.
