Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation about the Salem Witchboard Museum with owner John Kozick.

The Salem Witchboard 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 mysteries surrounding the Ouija board.

From personal collections to donated artifacts, each item within the museum holds its 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 actually 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 Witchboard Museum.

John, thank you so much for doing this show tonight and chatting with me about the

Salem Witchboard Museum.

I'm very excited to dive into this.

So I'm going to start with two big questions.

Okay.

What's the difference between a witch board and a Ouija board? And here's my other question. Is it Ouija or Ouija?

Well, Ouija is a brand of witch board, talking board, spirit board, which are all the generic

names. So Ouija is technically the brand. It was the first brand ever mass produced. And you pronounce

it Ouija, but if you ask someone if they use the Ouija board, you would ask them, sorry, do you WiiG?

So you verb on the noun.
