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.
