Summary
Welcome back, to Dark Realms,
In our first "Non-locale" Dark Realms, we take a deep dive into the chilling history of the Ouija board — from ancient spirit-communication practices to its rise as a mass-market “talking board” shrouded in mystery and fear. We explore why this seemingly simple tool has fascinated millions, terrified others, and earned condemnation from the Roman Catholic Church. Along the way, we examine two of the most infamous and unsettling cases linked to Ouija use: the tragic haunting of Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro in Spain, and the real-life possession of Roland Doe that inspired The Exorcist. Dark history, religious warnings, and disturbing eyewitness accounts converge in a gripping journey into one of the world’s most feared occult objects.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Not all of our minisodes need to be from listeners. In fact, places or lesser-known cases can sometimes take us to Dark Realms. |
| 0:16.5 | Hello everyone and welcome back to this week's edition of Dark Realms. |
| 0:26.0 | Now, there will be no video accompanying this episode, quite simply because the audio that was released last week was really subpar. |
| 0:30.3 | So there's clearly some sort of sinking issues between all of the new equipment in regards |
| 0:35.5 | to audio and video, etc. |
| 0:39.4 | The video track sounded fine, the audio on its own sounded awful so what I thought I'd do instead is put my effort |
| 0:45.3 | into fixing that and give you a quality audio edition instead though these minor |
| 0:50.0 | irritations are going to happen as you try to progress so So we take it on the chin and we go on. |
| 0:56.2 | And today we're going to do our very first dark bites which is not about a location. |
| 1:01.5 | And we are going to start our very first non-local dark bites about the one and only talking |

| 1:12.2 | Firstly, a huge shout out to our wonderful team over a Patreon for keeping the show afloat. |

| 1:28.9 | forward slash the dark paranormal or you can click the link in the show notes. |
| 1:34.1 | Our lowest tier entry removes all ads and like I've said previously this time of year |
| 1:40.3 | you're not going to see a single podcast that has a good following, have anything |
| 1:45.0 | less than a 100% fill rate in their ad slots, and that will go on until around January. |
| 1:51.0 | So even if you just sign up from now until the end of January, you're at the very least |
| 1:56.0 | guaranteeing yourself no breaks in play in anyone's experiences. So you could either use your change to buy |
| 2:02.9 | a coffee which will last five minutes or use it to have ad-free entertainment of four to five |
| 2:09.5 | hours each and every month or six to seven hours dependent on the tier. If you go for the tiers |
