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, Part Two of our discussion about talking boards with John Kozik, the owner of the Salem Witch Board Museum.

You know, and if that was me, if I had one I was uncomfortable with, I probably have

1:16.8

someone's right now going I'm cinnage on my board I need it out of this house

1:21.0

is there a way that they can properly dispose of it themselves?

1:25.6

So my experience, and again, I have this 30

1:29.6

that the TBHS has been donated,

I can tell you that 28 of the 30 times when I have followed up with

1:36.7

the previous owners saying, hey, I received the board, just checking in, how's everything

1:40.4

doing? Those problems, whatever they claim they had, went away.

put on that package, I don't know who to contact and there was one time where problems didn't go away immediately.

1:56.6

They went on for about three months afterwards.

1:58.9

That's a pretty extreme case.
