Episode 44: The Ouija Board

Jay walks us through the Ouija Board – its connection to Spiritualism, Satanism, and Hasbro!

This story contains:

1. A “Spirit Board” or “Talking Board” allows people to connect with dead loved ones. (Like a Hallmark card from heaven!)

2. Kennard Novelty Company created the Ouija Board. (They got their patent on February 10, 1891.)

3. Scientists say, Ouija boards are not powered by spirits or demons. (They work on a principle known as the ideometer effect. Boring!)

4. The 1973 Exorcist movie changed Ouija from a Novelty toy to something widely considered Satanic. (It did for Ouija Boards what the movie Psycho did for showers. Spooooooky!)

5. Religious people hate it and witchy people wished it work better, but the bottom line is that Hasbro makes a killing off of Ouija. (Monetarily! Sheesh. The game makes almost as much as Monopoly.)
