Avery Ross
About this episode
Recently, 28 girls were rushed to the ER after playing around with a Ouija Board at their school in Colombia. Reports stated the girls began losing consciousness, suffering from increased anxiety & falling ill. How could this be?

These headlines baffled the world but those familiar with the dangers of the Ouija Board aren't surprised in the slightest...

The mysterious Ouija board came straight out of the American 19th century obsession with spiritualism, the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living. Unknowingly, the Ouija Boards distributors were also giving users a direct doorway to darker entities & demons

In this very chilling episode, Avery covers the history of the mysterious talking board, 19th Century American Spiritualism & lots of unsettling true experiences from Ouija Board users

From Ouija Board court cases to Zozo, the Oujia Board demon - this is an episode you won't want to miss!
