500 Days Underground | Flashback Friday

In 1911, the Wyoming State Penitentiary assembled one of the most terrifying baseball teams in American history: the Death Row All Stars.Made up of convicted murderers and other hardened criminals, these inmates weren't just playing for pride. They were playing for their lives. Victories could mean postponed executions, while costly mistakes could have deadly consequences. And behind the scenes, prison officials and local gamblers were cashing in on the action.This FLASHBACK FRIDAY, Chris and Ed revisit the bizarre true story of baseball, murder, corruption, and the ultimate home-field disadvantage.THIS ORIGINALLY AIRED ON PATREON 01/22/26SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scared-all-the-time--7084296/support.Get the latest episodes of our bonus show NEW FEAR UNLOCKED -- and a whole lot more! -- by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScaredAllTheTime

How long could you survive without sunlight, clocks, internet, or another human being? This week, we flash back to when we learned about a Spanish athlete who went underground for an extraordinary experiment in isolation and stayed there for 500 days. But when it was finally time to bring her back to the surface, something much stranger had happened: she had lost her sense of time so completely that she believed only a fraction of those 500 days had passed.It's the bizarre true story of extreme isolation, hallucinations, human endurance, and what happens when time itself stops meaning anything.THIS ORIGINALLY AIRED ON PATREON 12/04/25SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scared-all-the-time--7084296/support.Get the latest episodes of our bonus show NEW FEAR UNLOCKED -- and a whole lot more! -- by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScaredAllTheTime

What happens when a haunted house decides that jump scares aren’t enough? In Part Two of EXTREME HAUNTED HOUSES, Chris and Ed leave traditional haunted attractions behind and descend into the controversial world of immersive and extreme horror experiences.They trace the rise of attractions like Blackout, where guests entered alone and surrendered control, before digging into increasingly intense experiences including Miasma, Freakling Bros.’ Victim Experience, and other haunts built around physical contact, isolation, endurance, and psychological torment.And then there’s the living nightmare that is McKamey Manor. We examine the notorious attraction, the videos that made it an internet legend, and the larger question hanging over the entire extreme-haunt industry: when does being scared stop being fun?Listener: Enter at your own risk.SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scared-all-the-time--7084296/support.Get the latest episodes of our bonus show NEW FEAR UNLOCKED -- and a whole lot more! -- by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScaredAllTheTime
