I had this in about 1972, UK version is Haunted House and USA version is Which Witch as per this video. I bought a relauched version for my son in 1996 called Ghost Castle with a glow in the dark plastic skull instead of metal ball bearing. 3 years ago I bought a mint condition 1970's Haunted House from Ebay :-)
1:29 I was very young playing this as a child, my imagination made the game so much more scary! I can still remember the stairs but not much more 45 years on. Watching this now, what a fun game to play still!
Thank you so much for making and posting this video. Brings back a lot of good memories. Ouch now i feel like a witch has put a spell on me because now i feel soooooooo OLD.
I remember this game! I don’t know why it just popped into my head when a quick search revealed this video... Thanks for the memories, only wish I still had the actual board game.
Nicely done video. Hope the winning bid was to your satisfaction. I honestly don't remember this game, probably never played it. But, what brought me here is an old photograph with my younger sister I scanned from film...taken around 1970-71. The photo's resolution is good enough that I could read "Which Witch?" on the tower or chimney of the game. So, thanks for the fine video showing me what she was playing with.
But, thanks for posting this. It brought back many long-lost, happy memories. It led me to find the 30-second commercial on RUclips, which then triggered the memory of the swinging broom. It was my favourite piece!
Wow, you made a nice video to promote your eBay auction, in FHD 9-years ago. That alone is worthy of a thumbs up! Hope your auction did well. I'd never heard of this game until I was scanning some old family photo negatives and had enough resolution to identify my sister sitting with it, probably around 1970. I then went to eBay out of curiosity to see what the complete game is selling for today. On completed/sold listings, a few were over $150 delivered. Maybe my sister would be better off not knowing that tid-bit. There are more listings for incomplete game sets, which naturally bring less money.
This copy seems to be missing one major piece: the actual swinging broom that's supposed to hang in the broom room. When the ball was dropped down the chute, it would knock the broom, causing the players to be swept off the board. The ball didn't hit the players directly. (Not on that spot, anyway.)
They’ve just put the broom the wrong way up. The broom head should be pointing upwards. The ball would hit it it and it would sweep down from above then. (Think this is my first ever comment since joining RUclips in the early 2000s) used to love this game.
This was one of my favorite board games when I was a kid……until an adult daycare worker broke the notch that held the swinging broom in place by prying it off. I was so upset!
We still have our original large box edition like this (the board doesn't fold). I uploaded a creative vid that fell on deaf ears ; "HALLOWEEN Which Witch? Game, Cauldron Prop, Graveyard Fog, Cedar Point Witches | Collection THX1138"
My favorite. Always and forever. I still have the board and ball and 2 of the persons and 1 mouse
Thanks for this....im a child again ...i loved this game and was fascinated by the design and the picture on the stairs of yhe witch 😂
Got this game Christmas 1974 when I was 5, still remember a lot about it .
That was about the same time I got mine.
Loved playing this. Probably where they got the idea for Phantasm!
Best game ever!

Aye, I remember it well :)

The way the figures are positioned - as if they are marching in long strides.... I couldn't stop picturing them marching along to the music.
Good memories, thank you!
OMFG! My sister & I had this game. I'm so fucking old. LOL

Thank you for this video! Took me and wife some 4 decades of memory. I wish you and yours well! -Mark
I was desperate to own Haunted House, as this was called in the UK. The TV advert made it look awesome.
I remember getting this for Christmas when I was 6 years old. I loved that game. That was many many years ago.....about 43 years ago.

I got one of these 2nd hand when. I was a kid... I've been trying to figure out what it was called! Thank you!
This is like SUPER rare now! It's on eBay of $180 complete but used!
Hey, Marc. That's awesome video. I like it very much. Try to post more interesting videos. : )
blast from the past, used to play with cousins during visits to grandma's house many many years ago...

your correct diana , i had the same game and it had the broom that knocked the player down.

i had this game ..me and my bro loved it
did anyone else play this one?
I so remember playing this game!
Ramy Kodja Ditto! Superb game.
I had this game!
Had no idea The Real Ghostbusters board game was actually based off another. They look identical in design and traps.
My family had this.
This was one of my favorite board games when I was a kid……until an adult daycare worker broke the notch that held the swinging broom in place by prying it off.
I was so upset!
I had this game back in the day but I'm sure it was called Haunted House in Ireland and UK? happy days!
I do think that ppl as myself got this for Xmas & ending up in older life becoming a goth¿? 😂 👍
my old favorite game was electronic clue
Which witch, haunted mansion, ghost castle(was the 1 i had) and ive now seen it called spookslot and brivito also lol.
this looks fun
My mom had this game as a kid
i dont think you can give that stuff away nowadays, which witch is witch or the mummys tomb electronic game.
We still have our original large box edition like this (the board doesn't fold). I uploaded a creative vid that fell on deaf ears ; "HALLOWEEN Which Witch? Game, Cauldron Prop, Graveyard Fog, Cedar Point Witches | Collection THX1138"
the kids of today don't have the attention span to play a board game like this.
Another Mandela effect. I swear when I was a kid and had this. It was called Which witch way?
flippin heck
How many red cards? Yellow cards? Purple cards?
18 purple, 5 red and 8 yellow is what i've seen listed...that's an odd number (31 total) if correct.
