“As friends we gather, hearts are true, spirits near, we call to you…”

That’s the chant that begins most Ouija board sessions—but what really happens after you call? In this immersive and deeply personal episode, Adam Berry pulls back the planchette-shaped curtain on the true history, mystery, and controversy of the Ouija board. From spooky basements and dusty attics to Target toy aisles and academic labs, we trace how a simple board became one of the most misunderstood—and feared—objects in paranormal culture.

This episode is split into FIVE revealing acts, each diving deeper into what Ouija boards really are, where they came from, and how they’ve haunted the public imagination for over a century.
