    177. Horror Movie Hauntings

    Were the Poltergeist and Exorcist sets actually cursed? In our Season 6 finale, Liv and Amy dig into the real hauntings behind horror's most infamous movies: the 1958 Seaford Poltergeist case that helped inspire Poltergeist, the real human skeletons used on set, the fire that spared only Regan's room on The Exorcist, the haunted hotel that became The Innkeepers, the ghostly faces caught on film in Return to Babylon, and the disturbing Doris Bither case behind The Entity.

    176. Haunted House

    Two of the most haunted houses in America, one episode. Liv takes on the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts, the 1892 axe murders, the trial, and the ghosts still reported there today. Amy covers the Sally House in Atchison, Kansas, where a family’s haunting went from moving teddy bears to scratches, voices, and something far darker than a little girl ghost. In this episode: the toxic Borden household, the poisoning scare, the burned blue dress, Lizzie’s acquittal, the three main theories about who really killed Andrew and Abby Borden, and the hauntings at 230 Second Street. Then the full Sally House story: Dr. Finney’s home medical office, the Pickman family, psychic Barbara, the Sightings TV investigation, and why investigators believe a demon may be trapping other spirits in the house. ⚠️ Content warnings: graphic violence, death of children, animal harm (Sally House segment, approx. 1:05:40–1:06:30) Chapters 0:00 Cold open: the Lizzie Borden rhyme 0:38 Welcome to Girls Gone Spooky 1:18 Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story 3:04 This week’s theme: haunted houses 4:13 The Borden family & their claustrophobic house 6:40 Andrew Borden: rich, cheap, and resented 8:16 Lizzie, Emma & their stepmother Abby 10:26 The mystery sickness & the prussic acid purchase1 2:59 August 4, 1892: the murder timeline 14:55 The murder of Abby Borden 18:27 The murder of Andrew Borden 21:19 The investigation & the burned blue dress 23:25 The trial & verdict 25:48 Aftermath: Maplecroft & Lizzie’s life after 27:05 Hauntings at the Lizzie Borden House 32:32 The ghost children & Eliza Borden 34:05 Who really did it? 3 theories 38:39 The Sally House, Atchison, Kansas 41:47 The story of Sally 43:07 The Pickman family moves in 44:26 The moving teddy bears 47:48 The psychic & the first physical attack 54:46 Deborah gets attached to Sally 59:21 The woman in black 1:02:05 The Sightings TV investigation 1:04:56 The failed cleansing & Tony’s breakdown 1:08:28 The Sally House today (yes, you can stay overnight) 1:09:20 Recommended: Astonishing Legends & Sightings 1:11:11 Bonus: the haunted McInteer Villa 1:13:50 Halloween costumes 1:16:30 What we’re watching 1:17:49 Stay spooky! 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2uLQAcVSBhU3INBWvMWG76 🎧 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girls-gone-spooky/id1586630473 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonespooky/ 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlsgonespooky Season 6 finale drops next Friday.

    175. Witches

    Not every witch in history was an innocent victim. In this episode of Girls Gone Spooky, Amy digs into the Scottish Witch Trials and the strange, vivid confession of Isobel Gowdie, while Liv covers two real "witches" who were ruthless, powerful, and very much guilty of something: La Voisin, the Shadow Queen of Paris who ran a poison-and-black-mass empire under Louis XIV, and Dame Alice Kyteler, the wealthy Irish moneylender who outran the Church and vanished with her fortune. ⚠️ Content note: this episode includes discussion of torture, execution, poisoning, and the ritual harm of infants (Black Mass segment, roughly 44:00–45:15).

    174. Demons

    Zozo, Pazuzu, Asmodeus and the terrifying true stories behind the Ouija board, plus three real possession and exorcism cases. Girls Gone Spooky Ep. 174. This week Liv and Amy take on demons in two very different ways. Liv digs into Ouija board demons: the ideomotor effect vs. the paranormal, Zozo's infamous "figure eight" pattern and where the legend really began, listener stories that will make you say goodbye every single time, and what Christianity, Judaism, and Islam each say about talking boards. Then Amy covers three possession and exorcism cases: George Lukins, the "Yatton Demoniac," Arne Cheyenne Johnson and the Glatzel case that inspired The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Sister Maria Crocifissa's mysterious "Devil's Letter."

    173. Conspiracies & Unsolved Mysteries

    This week it's conspiracy theories, unsolved mysteries, and one big question: hoax or real? Amy kicks us off in 1855 with the Devil's Footprints — a single-file line of hoof-shaped tracks that traveled 60-100 miles through the snow across Devon, England (and somehow reappeared in 2009, Belgium, and a remote island in the Indian Ocean). Liv follows with the full, deeply upsetting history of Project MK Ultra, the CIA's real Cold War mind-control program. Then Amy makes the case that the Zodiac Killer and the Black Dahlia murderer were the same man, and Liv closes the episode with Skinwalker Ranch — the military-funded property where "high strangeness," UFOs, and the terrifying "hitchhiker effect" collide. 🔮 TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS 0:00 – Intro & Cold Open 0:26 – Hellos + This Week's Topic 2:01 – The Devil's Footprints (Devon, England, 1855) 15:18 – Project MK Ultra: The CIA's Mind Control Program 38:00 – Bonus Tangent: The Disappearing Scientists 40:43 – The Black Dahlia & Zodiac Killer Connection 53:37 – Skinwalker Ranch & the Hitchhiker Effect 1:07:10 – Outro & Sign-off ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — it genuinely helps the show! 📱 Follow Girls Gone Spooky everywhere: @girlsgonespooky 💬 Drop a comment: hoax, or real? 🕯️New spooky episodes every Friday this season.
