Get ready to light some candles and clutch your crystals, because this week on Back on the Broomstick, Chelle and Laylla are sharing one of their most unforgettable—and unnerving—paranormal experiences; the time they recorded a Ouija board session in a notorious haunted house, an encounter so chilling it made Chelle swear off ever stepping foot in the place again.

Our witchy hosts then take you on a journey through the fascinating history of spirit communication, tracing séances from Victorian parlors to modern-day living rooms. You’ll discover the surprising origins of the Ouija board, which began as a simple parlor game but evolved into one of the most feared and misunderstood tools in paranormal investigation.

The episode tackles the age-old debate: are Ouija boards truly portals for demonic energy, or have they been unfairly demonized by pop culture? Chelle and Laylla weave together historical accounts, personal experiences, and spiritual insights. They’ll also share their own hard-earned tips for safe spirit communication (pro tip: maybe don’t start off with questions like “Is anyone evil here?”). Their discussion expands into more ghostly encounters from their personal vaults and the various ways spirits may attempt to connect with the living, sharing touching stories of how departed loved ones have sent signs to their families.

Whether you’re a skeptic or a true believer, this episode is packed with eerie insights, nervous laughter, and magical advice that will have you looking over your shoulder—and maybe reaching for your own spirit board (with proper precautions, of course!). Send us your ghost stories, because the spirit world loves an audience, and we’re here for it!
