The Real-Life Poltergeist That Drove My Family Out of Our Home! It Changed the Way We See Everything

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains extreme horror, psychological distress, and violence. Listener discretion is advised.

This Halloween special is not for the faint-hearted. We share the real-life ghost encounters that still haunt us today, from spirits revisiting Scott from beyond the grave, to a relentless poltergeist so powerful it drove his family out of their home. Shelby takes the terror up a notch with her chilling story of George, a ghostly presence that refuses to leave her family home and still makes itself known in the darkest hours. We unpack how fear lingers long after the lights are back on and what these encounters taught us about belief and the unknown. “Scott’s WTF of the Week” drags us into a real-life haunted house where people actually paid to be tormented year after year, until it crossed the line. “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings the kind of Halloween hero we all need, a man proving that generosity can be just as powerful as ghosts and gore. Finally, in our “Travel Segment” we shared our first impressions of China, we were surprised.
