Although most people who've used Ouija boards don't think they're communicating with the beyond, there is something mysterious about how it works. Learn the ins and outs of the popular parlor game that sprang directly from the 19th-century spiritualism movement in this episode.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of Ouija boards, exploring how these mysterious talking boards went from serious spiritualist tools in the 19th century to mass-marketed party games. They'll uncover the surprising science behind why the planchette seems to move on its own (spoiler: it's not ghosts!), share some wild real-life Ouija board stories, and explain the ideomotor effect that makes these boards actually work. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, you'll learn some pretty cool stuff about one of America's most enduring supernatural pastimes.
