Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

I don’t know about you, but the second summer is over, I’m pulling out the pumpkins, I’m lighting my candles, and I am ready to let Halloween take over. When I was going through my closet looking for Joan’s Halloween costumes, something fell from the shelf straight onto my head. It was my Ouija board. And look… I don’t know if it’s because of spooky season or what, but it spooked me. 

I mean yeah, it’s *just* a board game… but it *is* communicating with spirits...allegedly. It made me wonder… why are we letting kids casually communicate with the dead? 

So I got to searching. Turns out, there is a long, wild history behind the Ouija board, and some of America’s most popular board games. And a lot of their stories end in *murder.* 

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
