The brief
Corinne and Sabrina open with stories of demons, shadow figures, possessions, poltergeists, and Ouija encounters, framing the episode around fear that refuses to stay contained.
Harker’s account begins in a troubled childhood home, where frightening behavior, apparitions, and a shadow figure culminate in a demonic encounter and an exorcism.
The story’s most unsettling turn links the family’s experiences to Teacher Rita’s daycare, suggesting the activity may have traveled through a wider network of people and places.
A childhood game about finding the devil and later Ouija sessions shift the focus from haunted homes to rituals that may invite, name, or amplify unseen entities.
The episode closes with the entity Carla claiming to have followed a family since its first Ouija session, alongside a Massachusetts home marked by attacks and mimicry.
