Summary
The Salem Witch Board Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, is the world's ONLY Ouija museum. Curated and owned by John Kozik, the museum boasts a personal collection of around 100 Ouija boards on display at any given time. As a founding member of the Talking Board Historical Society, Kozik and his fellow enthusiasts are dedicated to preserving and unraveling the Ouija board's mysteries. From personal collections to donated artifacts, each item within the museum holds a story waiting to be told.
Is the Ouija board simply an icon of entertainment, or does it serve as a portal to the beyond for some? Has Hollywood unfairly tarnished its reputation with dark tales, or does it wield genuine power? Can something as innocuous as wood, cardboard, and plastic harbor malevolent forces?
Today on The Grave Talks, we discuss talking boards with John Kozik, the owner of the Salem Witch Board Museum. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Today on The Grave Talks, we continue our conversation about the Salem Witch Board Museum with owner John Kozik. |
| 0:13.4 | Is there a proper way to dispose of a Ouija board if you want to get rid of it? |
| 0:18.8 | Because I did see on your website, it said if you have a witch board story you wish to share or a board you want to remove from your home and you've got a form. |
| 0:28.1 | You know, and if that was me, if I had one I was uncomfortable with, I probably have shifted off to you already, but I don't have one. |
| 0:36.4 | But is there a way if someone's right now going, |
| 0:41.2 | I'm sending John my board, I need it out of this house, is there a way that they can properly |
| 0:46.4 | dispose of it themselves? So my experience, and again, I have, there's 30 that the TBHS has been |
| 0:53.7 | donated, I can tell you that 28 of the 30 times, And again, there's 30 that the TBHS has been donated. |
| 0:55.0 | I can tell you that 28 of the 30 times when I have followed up with the previous owners saying, |
| 1:01.0 | hey, I received the board, just checking in, how's everything doing? |
| 1:04.0 | Those problems, whatever they claim they had, went away. |
| 1:08.0 | The 29th one I can't tell you about because, you know, there was no return |
| 1:12.2 | address put on that package. I don't know who to contact. And there was one time where problems |
| 1:18.2 | didn't go away immediately. They went on for about three months afterwards. That's a pretty extreme |
| 1:22.6 | case. So I tell people, I'm like, give it to me or anybody. |
| 1:28.6 | It doesn't have to be me, anyone that is willing to take it. |
| 1:31.9 | And I think that would be safe enough for you. |
| 1:35.5 | Out of sight, out of mind. |
| 1:36.7 | Because we do a, we have another podcast, a real ghost stories podcast where people submit their stories. |
| 1:44.5 | Oh my gosh, I can't tell you the Ouija board stories that we've had over the years. |
| 1:49.3 | And you mentioned that a little bit ago, that they threw it away the next day, there it is. |
| 1:55.2 | Or they tried to dispose of it in some way, it makes its way back. |
