Don't Try These at Home: Games You’ll Wish You Never Heard About

Don't Try These at Home: Games You’ll Wish You Never Heard About

Ever played Bloody Mary at a sleepover? Or thought about trying the Elevator Game “just for fun”? In this episode of Ghost Gossip, we dive into the eerie history of paranormal games — from ancient rituals and Victorian séance parties to the viral internet challenges you really shouldn’t try at home.


I’ll uncover where these creepy games came from, how they spread across generations, and why people are still daring to play them today. Then we’ll run through the top 5 most infamous paranormal games people are still playing in the dark (and some chilling stories behind them).


Light a candle, keep the salt nearby… and remember: some games are better left unplayed.

Some Doors Shouldn’t Be Opened. But if you do open them, let me know. Submissions will remain anonymous upon request.

The Green Park Inn

The Green Park Inn

This episode was recorded on September 22, 2024: This week's episode is very special. For our two-year wedding anniversary, we visited one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, The Green Park Inn, which is located in beautiful Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The Green Park Inn stands as the last of the grand manor hotels in all of western North Carolina and is the state's second oldest operating hotels. Personal note from hosts: Little Switzerland and Spruce Pine are like a second home to our family. We know this storm has devasted the state, and those who survived will forever be changed by the storm's destruction. Seeing how the storm impacted Wester North Carolina is devasting in so many ways but knowing the pain, suffering, and loss our neighbors to the north are going through leaves us heartbroken. We know nothing we say can change or soften what you are going through, but please know your neighbors in Upstate South Carolina see you; we stand with you and are here for you.

Ashmore Estates f/k/a Coles County Poor House

Ashmore Estates f/k/a Coles County Poor House

Once a poorhouse/poor farm, private psychiatric hospital, and nursing home, Ashmore Estates has been said to be one of the most haunted locations in America... as well as one of the spookiest. Located in Ashmore, Illinois, the Ashmore Estates is a historic building built in 1870 in the middle of 260 acres that was once the home to hundreds of individuals who were indigent, mentally ill, and/or elderly. Able bodied residents were expected to work on the farm, and sadly, someone once said the animals who lived in the barn had better accommodations than the people that lived inside the building. Visitors, tour guides, and investigators report seeing shadow people, a boiler room spirit who met a tragic fate, the giggles of a little girl, EVPs, a 7-foot shadow man, and the ghost of a little girl holding their hand. This location is saturated with history and if you are interested in hearing a deeper dive into the history, I recommend watching the history portion of The Paranormal Files Ashmore Estates episode (posted March 25, 2024).

The Pink Lady of the Grove Park Inn

The Pink Lady of the Grove Park Inn

On this week's episode, we are talking about the Pink Lady who is said to haunt the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina. We had no intention of talking about a haunting, but per the usual, a haunting might have found us! This past weekend, Daniel and I stayed at the Grove Park Inn and we were welcomed by a beautiful elevator attendant who shared her encounter with the Grove Park Inn's resident ghost. It was a wonderful stay, and of course, paranormal events are always right up my alley, so I had to look into the Pink Lady further!

Sleep Paralysis

Sleep Paralysis

Today we are talking all about the phenomenon that is sleep paralysis. Before 2022, I had never experienced sleep paralysis, but now, sleep paralysis has become a very normal occurrence happening once every two months. Sometimes it is nothing, I am awake for a second and I doze right back off, but other times it is downright frightening. But what is sleep paralysis? Why does it happen? Is it a spiritual experience, or just something that happens when you are overly tired? Join Daniel and me as we discuss sleep paralysis, my personal experiences, and how we feel towards it scientifically verses spiritually. If you have ever experienced sleep paralysis, I would love to talk to you! Please email me and let's have a conversation!

My First Psychic Reading with The Intuition Witch (Valerie Boyce)

My First Psychic Reading with The Intuition Witch (Valerie Boyce)

Y'all, this episode was a hot mess. Daniel and I are on the struggle bus, but we said we were going to give you a Monday episode, and we are GOING to give you a new episode Monday!! For those of you who do not know, I won an Instagram giveaway and had my very first psychic reading last weekend! Valerie Boyce, The Intuition Witch on Instagram and the TikTok, was so kind to grant me this amazing opportunity. I am not going to lie, I am a tad skeptical when it comes to mediums and psychics, but this whole experience was amazing, and she left me speechless a few times... which for a podcaster is impressive on it's own. We talked about my ancestors, my middle name being left out of my current name, numerology, how I communicate with spirits, and how my life changed at age 30, which I never have talked about before with anyone outside of my personal circle. We also discussed my abilities and some possibilities for me moving forward into the world of the unknown, but those things I am keeping private.
