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.
