We’ll look at numerous examples of seances and Ouija board sessions that went horrifyingly wrong, one particular demon who seems to show up more often than others that should scare the hell out of you, and later in the episode we’ll look at the flip side of seances – the ones that aren’t real at all. We’ll talk about masquerading mediums, imitation investigators, and dubious demonologists. Perhaps this episode will serve as a cautionary tale to leave the dead to rest in peace.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“When Ouija and Seances Go Horrifyingly Wrong” uses research from Melissa Brinks: https://tinyurl.com/y24rylju, and Jacob Shelton: https://tinyurl.com/yx48q3e6“Zozo The Ouija Demon” by Maggie Clendenin: https://tinyurl.com/y5aynmj9“Masquerading Mediums, Imitation Investigators, and Dubious Demonologists” by Melissa Brinks: https://tinyurl.com/yyrbfz2uWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
