Episode 321 - The Ouija Board Murder of Clothilde Marchand

A séance spirals out of control. Sinister letters arrive, trust is exploited, and a shocking crime is committed. A tale of grief, betrayal, and paranormal manipulation, this is the infamous true story of the Ouija Board Murder—and trust us, it’s way more twisted than any headline could capture.

For three women in 1930’s Buffalo, New York, ghosts aren't the only danger—human greed, systemic injustice, jealousy, and deception prove far deadlier than anything summoned from beyond the veil.

Packed with history, spiritualist drama, and the cautionary reminder that not all "messages from the other side" are what they seem, this episode is a wild ride through one of the strangest and spookiest cases of the 20th century.

In the wake of her husband Charley's untimely death, Nancy Bowen, a Seneca healer, turned to spiritual communication with the help of Lila Jimerson, a fellow practitioner from her community. Together, with the assistance of a Ouija Board, they uncovered a sinister murder plot. One assumed murder led to another… the murder of an innocent woman named Clothilde Marchand.
