Dan & Lyndze have the best chemistry and are just some of the best human beings around. If you like scary stories mixed in with humor, and the occasional tale so tragic and horrifying you cry at work, this is the podcast for you. I've listened to every single episode at least twice, and I'll do it again I'm sure. Thanks for making the long days go by faster and for being awesome!
I love paranormal stories. So this podcasters the spot.
I really like scared to to death but nightmare fuel is my favorite mirror stories, and doppelgängers and story’s about dolls give me all the chills Dan can really tell a good story’s keep it up can’t wait for more i also think nightmare fuel would make a great graphic novel
Love these Dan… I don’t think we need to add a cultural accent or a vernacular specific to a people, to envision the players in the story. Let ours minds wonder. This latest episode left me wondering how the story would be told if it wasn’t so obviously a specific culture.
I have had you guys on my podcast list for a while (I think you guys were guests on the Bigfoot collectors club podcast) and finally got around to listening to the podcast with the Voynich and Black Forest episodes before jumping to the very beginning. You guys are great and have great chemistry and fun to listen to you guys trying to scare each other! I’ve recommended the podcast to friends.
