The Ouija Board: A Game, a Gateway, or Something Else? | Dearly Departed

The Ouija board has been blamed for hauntings, possessions, and opening doors that probably should’ve stayed closed. But it didn’t start out that way.

This week, we’re diving into the strange history of the Ouija board, from its roots in the Spiritualist movement and the people who brought it to life to the paranormal reputation it has today. We’ll talk about how the planchette supposedly works, the science behind it, and some of the darker stories that helped turn a simple talking board into one of the most infamous objects in paranormal history.

So what’s really moving the planchette: your subconscious, a spirit, or something else entirely?
