Summary
The board had given them stories.
Romance. Tragedy. Spirits from the past.
Then the voices changed.
In this second part of Haunted UK Podcast’s Halloween Special, Steve continues Rachel’s deeply unsettling account of the Ouija board experiences that shaped her teenage years and followed her into adulthood. What had once seemed like strange but captivating spirit communication took a darker turn when the voices speaking through the board revealed that the stories they had told were not true — and that their intentions were something else entirely.
Rachel describes escalating paranormal activity, physical contact, shadow figures, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and a terrifying episode she can only compare to being pushed out of her own mind. As the experience fractured her friendship with Lily and left her afraid to sleep, she turned back to the church, seeking protection from whatever she believed had come through.
Years later, the memories returned in unexpected ways: conversations with others who had used Ouija boards, a strange encounter with a magician, a powerful reaction inside a museum of witchcraft, and a disturbing church service that made her question the difference between spiritual experience, emotional manipulation, and something far harder to define.
Raw, intelligent, and deeply personal, this concluding Halloween episode explores Ouija boards, possession-like experiences, religious fear, psychology, trauma, scepticism, belief, and the difficult question of whether some doors, once opened, ever fully close.
