This week Mel, Char & Lor recap Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 2: The Houdini Séance, where Zak and the crew visit the Winchester Mystery House. They explore Houdini’s history as a debunker, the mansion’s bizarre construction, and call out the episode’s misleading claims—like Houdini’s widow holding seances there (she didn’t). With plenty of humor, side-eyes at Zak’s antics, and spooky history, this recap is part ghost story, part roast story.

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, we continue our story with Part II of Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 1: Poltergeist House. Join Char, Mel and Lor as we unpack the chaotic tech overload, questionable doll authenticity, confusing curse connections, and Zak Bagans’ dramatic flair, from shouting into baby monitors to wielding Cabbage Patch dolls. Our hosts hilariously debate ghost-hunting gadgets, poke fun at missed puns, and call out some major reality-TV stretches, all while trying to separate spooky fact from sensational fiction. If you love a mix of paranormal recaps, snark, and genuine intrigue, this episode is a must-listen!

They reflect on vibrating dolls, the use of real skeletons on set, and the eerie string of cast deaths tied to the film.

Between jokes about Zak Bagans’ fashion and production theatrics, the hosts also unpack the rumored fallout between Zak and Nick Groff, poke fun at new catchphrases, and question whether the “curse” is real or just Hollywood myth. It’s a snarky, spooky deep-dive into one of paranormal TV’s most iconic investigations.
