Inherited Hauntings

Ouija Boards Gone Wrong: Spooky Tales of Paranormal Hauntings

Lindsey Callan and Nancy Callan Season 1 Episode 6

Is the Ouija board just a spooky party game, or a dangerous portal to something far more sinister? In this episode, we dive into the mysterious world of spirit boards with a mix of eerie history, cultural lore, real-life hauntings, and hard science. From the Victorian roots of the Ouija board to the chilling case behind Spain’s most famous police documented haunting, we explore the stories that have terrified and fascinated people for over a century.

Mother and daughter go head-to-head in a spirited debate: one’s a skeptic with a side-eye for the supernatural, the other’s not so sure it’s all just cardboard and coincidence. You'll hear chilling anecdotes, surprising research behind the ideomotor effect, and why the Ouija board still stirs up fear in the age of Wi-Fi.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just Ouija board-curious, this episode will make you think twice before picking up that planchette.

THE SCARIEST STORIES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TRUE.
