Chambers of the Occult
We’re Kai and J: two friends, paranormal fanatics, and real-life tour guides at the Winchester Mystery House. Our day jobs have us wandering ghost-filled hallways and by night, we explore the darker corners of the world’s true crime and supernatural stories.
Each week, we dive into chilling murders, strange legends, and haunted histories, bringing our unique perspective from the halls of one of America’s most mysterious mansions. Expect eerie tales, our offbeat chemistry, and enough goosebumps to keep your EMF reader buzzing.
If you're into ghost stories, true crime, and the occasional chaotic giggle fit, you’ve found your new favorite podcast.
So grab your popcorn, or your holy water, and join us in the dark. Because in Chambers of the Occult, nothing is ever as it seems… and the ghosts?
They’re very real.
