Episode 300 - Haunted Dolls and the Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall

Three hundred episodes of spine-chilling stories, cursed objects, and ghostly encounters! To celebrate this milestone, we’re throwing it back to the old days with our favorite classic format: haunting stories told by each of us. But don’t worry, we’ve packed in plenty of paranormal surprises to keep you guessing.

So let's gather around our spooky Christmas tree and we will share with you tales of the Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall and a haunted doll named Letta Me Out—both legends steeped in curses, poltergeist activity, and chilling connections to the afterlife. From a disembodied skull demanding its rightful place in a mansion to a 200-year-old Romanian doll with human hair (yep, you read that right), these stories will have you double-checking your locks and side-eyeing your collectibles.

Then we veer into the eerie world of a murderous Elmo doll (yes, Elmo!) and listener stories featuring infamous Robert the Doll and even Ouija board encounters gone terrifyingly wrong. With poltergeist activity, clawed shadows, and astral mysteries, this episode is not for the faint-hearted.

Thank you so much for 300 episodes of support, spooky fun, and being part of this ghostly journey with us. Here’s to many more! 🎉👻
