Stargazing With the Dead

Dan Cummins, Lynze Cummins
About this episode

Episode Notes

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

Episode Notes:  Dan has his normal two tales.  First we head to London to familiarize ourselves with the story of the Battersea Poltergeist. This case of one family’s reports of ongoing paranormal activity got a lot of press back in the late 1950s. Recently, it’s garnered interest again!  Next, we’ll head to Sao  Paulo’s, Dream Beach. A mix of horror lore and a modern encounter tale that is very creepy and entertaining.  Lynze shares the bizarre, sad and spooky tale of a nun who becomes pregnant and is forced to give up her baby, despite not wanting to. St. Ann's Retreat proves to be anything but a retreat. Then for her second tale, picking up where Dan left off on a previous story, Lynze also shares a tale of an awful curse!

Opening Sumerian protection spell (adapted):
"Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no home… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a demon or a ghoul… Whatever thou be until thou art removed… thou shalt find here no water to drink… Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand to our own… Into our house enter thou not. 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."
