In the Enfield Poltergeist episode, the hosts compared the alleged spirit's vulgar language to that depicted in the novel's film adaptation, highlighting the shocking profanity of a possessed child. In a later episode they noted that the title, published in 1971, was based on a true Ouija board possession story and contributed to the board's negative reputation.
