Ghosts have a way of working their way into the things we become obsessed with. Focus your energy someplace long enough, haunted tales of fascination will trail along. What are we more obsessed with than video games. From hours spent dropping coin after coin to days spent in front of the screen trying to complete the level, it is no wonder so many urban legends about curses and video games have made their way into our modern narrative. Join Christopher Balzano as he powers up the new year looking at infamous cases of people believing video games to be haunted. There's old school standards like Berserker and modern ones like Bad Satan, and of course, the mother of them all...Polybius. We may even spend a little time trying to summon the ghost people are warning us about using a middle school ritual.

There is a warning in this episode for reference to drug use and violence, but the last story involves harm to children and abuse.

Here’s the link to the Berserker article for a full recap of the story:
