Camp Divination: The Poona Poltergeist

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling

Get ready for a night of Ghosts, Curses, and Tarot!

Every Friday we pack our unanswered questions into the canoe and paddle across the lake to see if our friend, The Village Tarot Witch can help us get to the bottom of this!

From July 1928 to July of 1929, a seemingly normal family living in the bustling city of Poona, India saw a haunting unfold that would forever alter their view of the world. In our previous episode, we attempted to piece together the accounts and explore various theories, but the Poona Poltergeist case truly stands in a class all its own. Join us around the witch’s campfire as we seek to understand the unknown and question the very nature of reality of one of the most intriguing poltergeist cases ever recorded.

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.

This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive content:

High Anxiety Situations

Child Endangerment

Violence Against Children

Violence Against Infants

Strangulation

Mental Health Issues
