The Screaming Woods

Dan Cummins, Lynze Cummins
About this episode

We are off to Dering Wood for our first creepy tale this week! Dan has a bizarre tale for us all. Then he takes us to Lake Shawnee to explore the old grounds of an abandoned amusement parl. Lynze discovers a new cryptid- the Fresno Nightcrawler! Yikes! Then we travel south to the swamps and bayous of Louisiana for a strange little story. Lastly, a small palate cleanser of psychic proportions! 

Street Team 2024: September 16th at 12 noon PT is when the stickers go live on our website- BADMAGICPRODUCTIONS.COM. Winner will be announced on November 4th on socials and on the shows- we record ahead of time so our personal announcement may be delayed so keep an eye on socials. Ok, let’s talk about Street Team now. The last 5 rounds have been an absolute blast!! We are talking a $200 merch credit just by slapping some stickers around your neck of the woods! Here’s the details…

These stickers are free… but there will only be 500 sticker packs available… first come, first serve. Once they're gone, that's it… and only one sticker pack per person. Once you receive your stickers, all you have to do is slap them all over the place, snap a picture of where you put them, and then post that picture on IG and FB using the hashtag #BadMagicStreetTeam. That’s it!!

The goal is to have fun with this. Don’t do anything stupid and let's grow this amazing Bad Magic community one sticker at a time.

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."
