Two Girls One Ghost – Episode 342: “Ouija Boards Gone Wrong”

Released: October 5, 2025
Hosts: Corinne Vien & Sabrina Deana-Roga
Special Presence: Lily, the “haunted doll,” using Ghost Tube

Main Theme & Overview

This Halloween-season episode dives into the perils of Ouija board use, recounting heavily-researched and listener-submitted tales of Ouija boards “gone wrong”—from accidental hauntings to chilling possessions. The hosts, dressed as Edgar Allan Poe (Corinne) and Carrie (Sabrina), build a haunted atmosphere with costumes, a haunted doll named Lily (who occasionally “speaks” via Ghost Tube), and even live “ghost cam” action.
Warning: As with all October episodes, the hosts stress their “haunted podcast” reputation—listeners have reported spooky encounters after tuning in.

Costumes, Haunted Objects & Setting Intentions

[03:00–08:15]

• Corinne and Sabrina kick off October’s “most haunted month” in costume, establishing a tradition of getting dressed up for each researched episode (“Happy Halloween!” – Sabrina, 02:39).
• This year, the hosts are introducing haunted objects—starting with Lily, the “mass-produced vessel”/doll purportedly able to “ward off evil” but also serve as a vessel for other spirits.
• Lily communicates via the Ghost Tube app, and her quirks are incorporated throughout.
  • Sabrina: “So weird in my hand.” (03:45)
• A safety ritual is performed: “Nothing dark, nothing malevolent, nothing malicious is welcome in our space…” (Sabrina, 07:51).

Notable Quote

“You need to do that. Nothing dark, nothing malevolent, nothing malicious is welcome in our space, in our home, in our hearts and our souls… We are surrounded by love, light and positivity.”
– Sabrina, [07:51]

Segment 1: The Tall Man & The Haunted Doll

[09:35–19:18]

Story: The Tall Man

• Source: Reddit, from user saltandpepa1997.
• Background: Jen, raised Catholic, meets Kayla in college, who is “off” from the start. Kayla owns an antique doll—claimed to be haunted by a being she calls “the Tall Man.”
• Kayla regularly uses Ouija boards with Becca and Meg; after repeated use, terrifying activity escalates.
  • Meg has waking nightmares of the Tall Man, a “billowing figure.”
  • Planchettes fly off Ouija boards, the Tall Man is seen in various dorm rooms.
  • The haunting transfers—subsequent dorm occupants (Jess & her sister) experience physical attacks, moving doors, and shadows.
  • Jess’s ordeal ends only after repeatedly praying, culminating in a “white flash” and sudden peaceful calm.
• Emotional Take: The story hammers home that Ouija-fueled hauntings can outlive their instigators—“it’s left there.”
  • Corinne: “It’s like, clearly, this girl using this Ouija board summoned this being in, but now it’s left there, so it’s not like it’s following her.” (17:10)

Notable Quote

“She had her sister come and stay with her. They both started seeing a massive, billowing figure looming at the foot of their bed...”
– Sabrina, [16:19]

Interactive Haunt: Lily’s Ghost Tube Interruptions

[Throughout]

• Lily interjects with phrases like “I want to talk,” “It’s dark,” “Restless,”—sometimes eerily timed to the stories or the setting.
  • Corinne: “We can’t see you, but we can hear you.” (27:15)
• The hosts respond directly to the supposed “spirit” and integrate the interruptions.

Segment 2: Boy Scout Camp and the Beast

[23:07–35:28]

Story: Boy Scout Camp Haunting

• Source: Reddit (user deleted; called “Bennett” by hosts).
• Premise: At a camp deep in the woods, scouts use a Ouija board for fun. The board reacts only when Bennett participates.
• Controlled tests with blindfolds and flipping the board confirm something supernatural: the planchette still spells words for Bennett alone, especially “BEAST,” “The Watcher.”
• Terrifying Turn: Bennett experiences a physical sensation, is pulled into a “grainy, black-and-white void” with shadowy, skeletal figures reaching for him. In reality, he’s convulsing; upon recovery, he is never the same.
• The camp bans Ouija boards. Years later, Bennett still sees shadowy figures, experiences nightmares, and feels he “never closed the session”—the haunting persists.
  • Corinne: “Is he somehow connected to this thing where they’re one and the same?” (34:31)

Notable Quote

“Sometimes being woken by nightmares where...he’s no longer himself, but the monster, the beast. Sometimes he sees flickers of figures at the edge of his vision, like he’s being watched.”
– Sabrina, [34:26]

Segment 3: The Twins & the Possessed Mother

[36:39–45:50]

Story: “So Mom’s Possessed”

• Source: Reddit; hosts refer to protagonists as “The Twins.”
• Premise: The twins buy a Ouija board from Toys R Us and initially set elaborate, ritualistic protections (salt, candles, pentacle). At first, the board only gives benign responses—even predicts a future high school.
• Growing careless, they skip protections. A taunt (“if you’re a demon, prove it”) leads to a chilling encounter—a sulfuric stench, extinguished candles, guttural growls, and escalating nightmares.
• One night, one twin watches himself sleep in a nightmare, haunted by a “shadowy, smoky figure,” while the other suffers night terrors and sleep paralysis.
• Parents consult a friend, occult items are removed. Weeks later, their mother is found in a trance using the board; she later admits to trying to contact her deceased brother.
• Only after an aunt’s intervention (holy water and prayers) do things settle, but “the house was never the same.”
• The story ends with the chilling suggestion that the mother isn’t quite the same—“sometimes they look in her eyes...they don’t think she’s there.” (45:42)

Notable Quote

“She freezes, but doesn’t turn to look at them. It’s like out of a horror movie. And slowly she turns her head, the warmth in her eyes gone. The mother that they knew is not [there].”
– Sabrina, [43:45]

Segment 4: The Positive Side of Ouija

[49:09–51:14]

Story: “Move J” – The Aunt’s Warning

• Source: Reddit, from “I’m a Stay at Home Dad” (parent’s tale)
• Story: Parents in a haunted house use the Ouija board to reach a deceased aunt. The board spells “MOVE J” (meaning their infant son’s crib, Jason/J), so they comply. Days later, a storm sends a tree through what was once the nursery—they narrowly avoid tragedy.
  • Corinne: “Thank God they listened...Thank God they used a Ouija board.” (50:43)

Segment 5: Listener Story – The Ouija Board that Predicted the Future

[52:40–55:13]

Story: Bella’s Mother

• As a girl, Bella’s mom asks a Ouija board where she’ll live in the future. Answers: “George Washington” and “Richland.”
• Years later, her family moves to Richland, Washington, and her apartment is on “George Washington Way.”
• The hosts and Lily (doll) weigh in: “Sensible.” (Lily, 53:11)

Key Insights & Takeaways

• Intentions & Boundaries are Crucial: At multiple points, the hosts stress the need to clearly set intentions and boundaries when dealing with the supernatural. Failing to end a session or protect oneself can have years-long consequences.
• Recurring Themes: Spirits using and latching onto objects; the importance (and danger) of inviting communication with the “other side”; hauntings often continue after the original summoner leaves.
• Role of Skepticism: Corinne notes that skeptics might try to explain away things, but some events (especially those with physical artifacts, like trees falling) defy easy explanation.
• Subtle Warnings: Even seemingly harmless or playful Ouija uses can spiral, especially among the young or when rules/rituals are ignored.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “So let us know what you’re being for Halloween and let us know what your guesses are for our next costume.”
  – Corinne, [04:44]

• “Can you imagine a roommate doing secret Ouija board sessions? ... Like, how do you even do that in secret?”
  – Corinne, [12:44]

• “At first, it seemed harmless. ... It even predicted the high school that the twins would attend, which turned out to be true years later.”
  – Sabrina, [37:56]

• “You thought it was just playful.”
  – Sabrina, [42:29]

• “See, this is the thing. ... there are infinite number of people who are experiencing these things.”
  – Corinne, [35:28]
