Hyperfixation - Ouija Boards: Summoning Spirits or Just Myth?


Listen Later

Episode 7 - Ever wondered how a wooden board and a plastic triangle became one of the most feared (and fascinating) tools in paranormal history? In this episode, Danny takes us down the spooky spiral of the Ouija Board — from its historical beginnings to the unnerving stories that have made it a cultural phenomenon.

We explore the psychology, the science, and the superstition behind why the planchette moves on its own… or does it? Expect chills, questions and laughter in this one. Have you ever used a Ouija Board and what questions did you ask? Or maybe we should just ask our own board to find out...?
