Inside this investigation
The basement session includes a Ouija board near the giraffe and responses interpreted as “peekaboo” and “behind you.” The team also discusses a possible shadow near the water heater and reviews electronic audio. These are the details that made the session unsettling to us, but the suggested words and shapes still need examination. Follow the board movements and spoken questions before accepting a message as clear. The chapters let you compare those moments with the later audio review and the wider camera record.
I suggest watching the setup before jumping to the most striking reaction. Ask what the investigators are doing, which device is producing information and what the camera can actually show. The chapter controls help you return to a moment while keeping that wider sequence available. The complete original notes below preserve the account as it was supplied. Use this episode's discussion to share an exact timestamp, a screenshot where useful and a clear distinction between your observation and your explanation.

THE OUIJA BOARD SPELLED “PEEKABOO” — THEN “BEHIND YOU”?! During our live investigation of the reportedly haunted Welles House, we were using a Ouija board beside a strange giraffe in the basement when the session took an unsettling turn. The team also reported a shadow near the water heater, strange sounds, and possible spirit-box responses. Watch and decide what you think happened. I'm Tim Wood, founder of LiveSciFi. In Episode 36 of A House Worse Than Amityville, Bambi, JJ, Dave and I return to the basement of the Welles House at 46 South Welles Street in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (also searched as 46 Welles Street). We attempt Ouija board communication, record possible EVPs, and test the EchoBox while the security cameras continue to document the house. EPISODE 36 — YOUTUBE CHAPTERS Join Tim Wood for a Welles House haunting investigation where our Ouija board session takes a chilling turn. In episode 36, the team returns to the basement of the property to conduct a thorough paranormal investigation. We focus on the basement, using a Ouija board and audio equipment to document potential spirit communication. During the session, the board appears to spell out unsettling messages like PEEKABOO and BEHIND YOU, which we analyze alongside our visual footage. Beyond the board, we conduct an EVP recording and test the EchoBox to capture any auditory anomalies. Viewers have pointed out potential orbs and faint voices that we missed during the initial session, including a possible sound near the basement giraffe. We review these moments to determine if there is a logical explanation or if we have captured genuine evidence. Help us analyze the footage by leaving a comment with your thoughts on the board messages.

1:00:46 Viewer-reported orbs on attic cameras DID THE BOARD REALLY SAY “PEEKABOO” AND “BEHIND YOU”? Around 27:55, we react as the planchette appears to spell “peekaboo.” About a minute later, we interpret another sequence as “behind you.” Earlier, around 22:06, one of us reports seeing a figure-like shadow near the water heater; afterward, the team discusses a shape peeking out beside a basement pole. The recording shows our reactions, but does not establish what caused the movement or shadow. VIEWERS NOTICED MORE POSSIBLE MESSAGES At roughly 24:30, viewers interpreted some board letters as the German phrase “Ich war mit,” meaning “I was with.” That's a viewer reading, not a verified translation of an independently confirmed message. Another viewer heard what sounded like “it's here, by the giraffe” around 46:00 during the audio experiment. Listen without prompting first, then compare what you hear. BASEMENT EVP, ECHOBOX AND POSSIBLE ORBS After the board session, Dave, JJ and Bambi continue with EVP recording and EchoBox audio. They discuss a faint voice during playback around 40:54, and there are reports of a physical sensation near 37:17 and a tap near 49:53. Viewers also flagged bright orb-like objects near the wood pillar around 34:00 and on the overnight attic cameras around 1:00:46. These observations may have ordinary explanations, including insects, dust close to infrared lenses, background voices, and electronic audio artifacts. WHY THE GIRAFFE? The unusual giraffe statue was already in the basement, and we found it unsettling enough to place the Ouija board session nearby. This doesn't mean the object was haunted. It gives you context for why the team kept mentioning it while reviewing the board and possible audio responses. HELP US REVIEW EPISODE 36 What do you make of “peekaboo” at 27:55, “behind you” at 29:15, or the reported shadow near 22:06? Is the faint EchoBox audio understandable, or could it be a fragment of processed sound? Leave the exact timestamp, what you saw or heard, and any alternative explanations in the comments.
