Do you have an experience with a Spirit Board/Ouija? While most have heard of a wild Ouija story from either a friend or seen it being used in horror movies - what some may not know that the Ouija has very unassuming origins. This week, Allison discusses the unexpected history of the spirit boards - why and when they were created - as well as how spirit boards are said to work (psst, it's not as spiritual as you may think!)

Recorded Remotely and Edited by Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music credits to Michael Vontas.
