George Noory and author Varla Ventura explore the story of a woman who claimed to have contacted the spirit of Mark Twain years after his death via a Ouija board and written a novel with him, the controversy and lawsuits surrounding the novel, and how the author's life ended tragically after the experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about what happened when a hooker jumped into someone’s car, a guy who is in prison for shooting himself, what happened when a dryer blew up, an attack at a golf course, how your job has effected your dating life, marriage deal breakers, the disgusting smell that you love, the CEO who received a shirtless massage during a meeting, kids who played with an Ouija board at school and more!

Think you know the Ouija board? Think again. Before Hollywood turned it into a horror icon, this "talking board" was a trusted spiritual tool found in countless homes. But what dark secrets lie beneath its letters? First up, Dave is joined by Robert Murch, the world's leading Ouija historian, to uncover the real story—from parlors and parties to pop culture and paranormal panic. We're diving into the myths, the mania, and the mysterious messages that made the Ouija board a cultural phenomenon. Then, author and paranormal expert Varla Ventura reveals the bizarre true tale of "Jap Herron", a book allegedly ghostwritten by Mark Twain himself—via a Ouija board. Was it a hoax, or Twain's last laugh from the great beyond?

Send us a textYour toxic relationships, stubborn cravings, and intrusive thoughts might not even be your own. This is a unique podcast episode because it's an excerpt from a podcast where I was the one being interviewed (by fellow intuitive / healer Manouk Vink). I share my journey into the world of intuitive healing – a path that began when my young daughter started seeing "shadow people" in her bedroom. I also talk about my childhood encounters with dark energies, from being physically pulled from my bed by unseen forces to witnessing Ouija boards moving independently. These experiences ultimately led her to develop powerful modalities for helping others disconnect from energetic attachments that keep them stuck in cycles of pain and limitation.The conversation demystifies how energetic cords and hooks work in our relationships, explaining how we unconsciously exchange emotions, thoughts, and even soul pieces with others. I also reveal that even seemingly innocent actions like complaining about an ex on social media create energetic rituals with real consequences. When we remain connected to past relationships, we're literally carrying fragments of other people within our energy fields – making it impossible to fully heal and move forward.I also share my perspective on difficult relationships as soul contracts. I explain that those who hurt us most in this lifetime may have been souls who deeply loved us in past lives, volunteering to play challenging roles that catalyze our growth. This reframing transforms our understanding of pain and trauma, revealing the perfect design behind our most difficult experiences.For mothers especially, I offer game-changing wisdom on prioritizing self-care without guilt. My "37 minutes" technique for giving undivided attention while maintaining strong personal boundaries demonstrates how self-prioritization ultimately creates happier, healthier families.This conversation isn't just theoretical – it's filled with practical techniques for distinguishing between your thoughts and external influences, cutting energetic cords, and reclaiming your authentic power. If you've ever felt inexplicably drawn to unhealthy relationships or situations, this episode illuminates the invisible forces that might be at play and offers a pathway to true energetic sovereignty.To start on your own path, make sure to grab a 1:1 here.Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

A Clemson University student shares an eerie update from a seemingly ordinary lab class. Until she learns she's been working just feet from where a professor named Todd died of a heart attack decades ago. After sensing something strange in the woodshop and bathrooms, she learns from her current professor that Todd's spirit may still be active, flipping switches, turning on radios, and flickering lights when no one else is around. As the activity ramps up, she begins to wonder if Todd's trying to communicate. But how? And should he? One thing's for sure: she won't be using a Ouija board to find out.

NASTY GNOMES, EVIL IMPS, AND TERRIFYING TOMMYKNOCKERS #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF June 29, 2025==========HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension.

A group of friends thought a Ouija session would be the perfect late-night thrill. The board answered, the planchette moved—and when it did, something else seemed to move in with them. Now they're asking a far more urgent question: can the harm be undone, or is the invitation permanent?  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

This week's Encounters episode is all about the paranormal gifts – the objects and, potentially the curses, we inherit. From haunted chairs and spooky mirrors passed down through generations, to psychic grandmas, and ghostly grandfathers waving their missing limbs from beyond the veil, these stories prove that family ties don't end in the grave. We're getting into: A haunted mirror in Australia hosts a spirit girl who walks into the glass… A great-grandmother's chair brings something spooky home — but was it really her in the TV reflection? A phone rings at 11:55pm on a birthday — exactly one year after someone joked about “heaven getting a phone.” A young woman connects with the ghost of Alice… repeatedly, across states, dreams, and decades. A Peruvian family lineage of psychics and shamans leads to elf sightings, Ouija chaos, and ghosts trying to ride piggyback. Whether it's ghost girls in mirrors or spirits following your bloodline, this episode will have you side-eyeing that antique your aunt just gave you. Some things are passed down — and sometimes the spirits refuse to leave.

Algunos la llaman un juego… otros, una puerta al infierno.En este episodio, junto a Riggs, revelamos 6 historias reales y aterradoras de personas que se atrevieron a invocar espíritus con la Ouija… y desataron fuerzas que jamás imaginaron.Portales abiertos. Entidades que los siguieron hasta sus casas. Voces demoníacas que aún los atormentan.

When an inquisitive teen cracks out a Ouija board, she doesn't just open a conversation—she rips the front door off a nightmare that follows her for decades.  The board insists a long-dead father drowned his children in a “river” on the property—yet the family swears there's only pasture and three quiet ponds… until a forgotten, brick-walled creek bed surfaces in the weeds. Is it the land, the house, or her that the dead refuse to leave? If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

A spiritual experience is closer to many than they might think — especially for the faithful. As the spiritual realm gains traction in both pop culture and faith circles, believers are increasingly asking: Is this stuff real, and how do I discern truth from fiction? While some dismiss demons, exorcism, deliverance, and the supernatural as outdated myths, countless Christians continue to share real stories of both oppression and miraculous freedom. In a world where Ouija boards are marketed as toys and TikTok teems with spiritual influencers, navigating truth from deception isn't just cultural—it's deeply personal, often painful, and undeniably hopeful.In this episode of Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Ryan Bethea, producer and host of The Exorcist Files, as well as co-host of the new podcast Heaven Meets Earth. Ryan's exploration into Catholic exorcisms and modern-day miracles offers an unparalleled look into how spiritual warfare manifests today. As a Protestant gaining insights from Catholic traditions, and through deeply researched narrative storytelling, Ryan brings humility, humor, and serious theological weight to one of the most misunderstood and scarcely discussed topics in Christianity.Be equipped with a fresh, Spirit-led perspective and practical tools to understand the realities of spiritual warfare, what deliverance looks like in real life, and how God still works through miracles today. This episode is for curious skeptics, discerning believers, and anyone hungering for more of God's power and presence.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Explore real-life encounters with demonic forces and the process of exorcism in both Catholic and Protestant contexts through the lens of spiritual warfare.Gain insight into how miraculous healing and supernatural intervention point to God's faithfulness through a spiritual experience in the modern day.Reflect on how to discern spiritual attack from psychological or circumstantial hardship—and find wisdom for your own spiritual battles.Become Part of Our Mission!

A spiritual experience can happen to anyone who believes.[05:50] Reagan's Personal Story and Connection to "The Exorcist"Reagan shares her personal story, revealing that her name is from the movie "The Exorcist."Reagan was scared when she watched the movie, but eventually became an evangelist.God uses various means to bring people to Him. The spiritual experience leading you to God may be through a movie or a personal experience.Ryan mentions the book "The Exorcist Files," which captures the gaslighting experienced by exorcists, and how it mirrors the themes in their podcast.[08:52] Exorcisms and Spiritual WarfareRyan shares his witness to a colleague's overt manifestation in a ministry setting, describing it as a strange and rare experience.There is, however, plausible deniability in miracles. God leaves room for faith.Recognizing the attacks of the Enemy can be challenging, which amplifies the importance of discernment in spiritual warfare.[15:25] Ryan: “Paul's constantly reminding us, Hey, you have an Adversary. Don't be scared, but be alert.”[19:10] The Role of Prayer and Spiritual DiscernmentRyan's co-host Abby takes a spirit-led approach to life and decision-making, including praying about everyday choices.Abby's posture of prayer and discernment inspired him to submit more of his decisions to God."Lead with Prayer" by Ryan Skoog highlights the importance of prayer in making decisions.As Christians, we must trust God's timing and be open to His guidance in all aspects of life.[21:1] Ryan: “You hear all these stories; miracles happen. They're rare by definition. They're miracles. These are not common experiences, and they take all shapes and sizes.”[24:37] Heaven Meets Earth: A Spiritual Experience“Heaven Meets Earth” had diverse guests from different faiths, which gave them a broad perspective. However, the focus was on miracles and spiritual experiences."Heaven Meets Earth" podcast had a powerful and positive impact, and even helped heal or encourage its listeners through difficult times.It would help people to normalize spiritual experiences and provide a platform for people to share their stories.Miracles happen all the time — even today in our lives.

Mary also comes to people with spiritual experiences and apparitions.Ryan shares a story about a friend who received a message from Mary during a difficult time, which brought her comfort and healing.Marian apparitions have great historical significance, such as Lady of Guadalupe and Fatima. Their impact on the faith of people worldwide is undeniable.It's critical that we remain open to spiritual experiences and the role of the saints in interceding for us.[37:12] Spiritual Experience in the Modern EraTrust God's timing and be open to His guidance in all aspects of life.Spiritual experiences can come from anywhere — even a podcast.[44:54] Ryan: “Keep your eyes open, see what God's up to. He's always sneakily doing something.”We must continue to share our faith and experiences to those open to hearing.About Ryan BetheaRyan Bethea is a dynamic storyteller, media producer, and spiritual investigator whose work bridges the worlds of faith, mystery, and modern-day miracles.

This week, Leo and Steven go back to the 80's for a cool little film called Witchboard! They talk about far out psychics, boring party conversations, dialogue that cuts to the chase, correcting the pronunciation of "Ouija", confusing relationship dynamics, surprisingly compelling characters, cops who like to juggle and what happens when a fun little horror movie makes some bad choices, yet gets enough right to give the movie some real old-school charm. Watch the trailer here - Witchboard White Snake - Here I Go Again on My OwnOrange Julius - HistoryJohnny The Homicidal Maniac - Comic Explanation  Like the show?

Danielle has never talked publicly about this.  In her 20s, she was channelling “guides”—a term she uses very loosely. It all started with a Ouija board. Friends were messing with it, and she got in on the action.  It's a story about feeling special, getting in too deep, and discovering that “just because a disembodied energy comes through from the ‘other side' doesn't mean that it's higher vibration than someone on the Earth plane.” It's a story that may change how you think about spiritual guidance.  In this episode: How to tell the difference between guidance and spiritual deception The question that will help you discern real wisdom from spiritual BS Why being psychic doesn't automatically make someone enlightened What your nervous system knows that your mind doesn't MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Infusion Sessions—High-ticket, high-value 1:1 business mentoring with Danielle The Archives: Read on Substack Join The Heart Centered Collective Take the free Stressed to Blessed Quiz

In this episode, we flip the script and ask Jim what it's like to spend decades knee-deep in Ouija boards, black-eyed kids, and callers who casually mention, “Oh, by the way, the demon is still here.” From podcast infancy to today's booming fright-fest, Jim shares the highs, the how-did-I-get-here's, and why the unexplained never gets old.

Aujourd'hui, on parle d'un phénomène. D'un jeu qui a donné des sueurs froides à des millions de joueurs… et qui s'apprête désormais à faire trembler les salles obscures.Oui. Phasmophobia – le jeu de chasse aux fantômes le plus angoissant de ces dernières années – va être adapté au cinéma. Et ce n'est pas un canular.

The Ouija board has been the subject of many stories, but in this episode, we hear from someone who used one—and never escaped the consequences. What starts as an innocent game among friends turns into a lifelong haunting, with a dark spirit that calls itself "John" attaching itself to the storyteller. At first, the entity seems playful, but as the years go on, its true nature is revealed. The once harmless spirit becomes more aggressive, manifesting in terrifying ways—dark shadows moving through the house, cold spots, whispers in the dark, and even physical contact. This episode explores the dangers of dabbling in the paranormal and the very real consequences that can follow when you invite something into your life that refuses to leave. Was "John" ever just a spirit, or was it something far more dangerous from the very beginning?

When Alec died just before senior year, his small-town friends were shattered. But in the weeks and months that followed, strange, undeniable signs began to surface—swaying chairs, blinking lights, and messages that couldn't be explained. For Kenzie, the most chilling moment came a year later during a spontaneous Ouija board session, when Alec seemed to speak through the planchette, answering personal questions no one else could know... and hinting that his death may not have been an accident. Was it closure from a friend beyond the grave—or a deeper mystery still waiting in the shadows?

What starts as a thrill-seeking night of teenage ghost hunting spirals into a nightmare none of them could forget. Danny and his friends venture into a notorious cemetery rumored to be the site of occult rituals, suicides, and murder—armed with flashlights, cameras, and a Ouija board. But when the board spells out RUN, and a banshee-like scream erupts from the forest, the group realizes something far more sinister is stalking them. From an unholy name to a black figure with glowing red eyes, this terrifying encounter left more than just trauma behind. Some doors, once opened, never fully close.

If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 763: They Escaped Ouija's Dark Grip, Tony is joined by Travis, a man whose teenage curiosity led him into a nightmare that wouldn't end. What began as a harmless game with friends escalated into terrifying encounters with a spirit named "Non"—a presence that etched its name into their notebooks, manipulated the physical world around them, and unleashed chaos with every session. Travis recounts nights filled with static-blasting speakers, chairs moving on their own, and birds and wind responding to rituals performed in eerie sync. But the scariest moment came when the board claimed it had possessed one of them—and demanded a cross before midnight to save his soul. This episode tracks Travis's descent into spiritual oppression, addiction, and darkness—and the powerful moment of self-deliverance when he encountered the real authority of Christ. From face-to-face encounters with a grinning hat man to a whirlwind of invisible entities leaving his body, Travis shares a raw, redemptive journey that proves the supernatural is real—and so is the victory found in Jesus.

This week on Not Today, Pal Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler welcome world-renowned medium and star of Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo! Fresh off her national tour, Theresa sits down to explain how she discovered her extraordinary gift, what it's really like to communicate with the dead, and how sensing energy has shaped her life. The conversation gets deeply personal as Theresa connects with Jamie's brother live on the pod and offers unexpected insights about her miracle son, Beau — an “old soul” whose presence has already brought healing into her life. Jamie shares emotional moments about Beau's health, faith, and the subtle signs she prays for as a mother. They explore everything from grief and energy sensitivity to negative spirits, Ouija boards, and what happens during live readings. Rob asks the hard questions — including whether it's all just BS — and opens up about his own experience of feeling "hugged by Long Island." Have a question for Rob and Jamie?

When Jenny's family moved into her grandmother's five-bedroom home in Pampa, Texas, they expected creaks and quirks—not hauntings, plagues, and a back bedroom that breathed like a beast. From a cereal-box Ouija board that turned hostile to windows that showed scenes from another century, Jenny's childhood was anything but ordinary. Add in a rotating cast of spirits and biblical levels of infestation, and you've got a house that didn't just creak—it groaned under the weight of something dark.

Two siblings decided to play with a homemade Ouija board despite their father's warnings. What began as a harmless game soon turned into a series of unsettling events—robbers breaking in, the mysterious death of their beloved dog, and strange happenings in the kitchen and living room. Things escalated when her father began seeing a ghostly figure at night—an apparition dressed in old-fashioned clothing, seemingly trying to form a bond with him. The haunting only stopped after he confronted the spirit, using curses and profanity to drive it away. Since then, the house felt lighter, and the strange occurrences ceased.

Shanna shares her harrowing experience with the Ouija board—a seemingly innocent experiment that took a dark and unexpected turn. Skeptical but curious, Shanna decided to try it alone, against all warnings. What followed was an encounter that left her feeling drained, lethargic, and deeply unsettled. But that wasn't the end of it. Strange occurrences began to plague her home, from her cat chasing invisible entities to a dark, looming presence in her bedroom that seemed to materialize from nowhere. Shanna's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the things we summon in the dark can follow us home.
