Summary

Ouija expert Karen A. Dahlman joins Jim to explore the mysteries of the Ouija board. Karen shares the fascinating origins of the board, from its 19th-century spiritualist roots to its rise as a pop culture icon. She explains why she feels the Ouija itself isn’t dangerous, and discusses how she’s used it for decades as a tool for channeling and self-discovery. Karen also sheds light on the board’s misunderstood reputation, the story of William Fuld, and what she’s learned from years of communication with spirit guides and animals alike. Whether you view the Ouija as a game, a gateway, or something in between, this episode offers an informed and fascinating perspective.
