This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
Tucked away in Salem, the Salem Witch Board Museum houses the largest public collection of Ouija boards in the world — and the only museum dedicated entirely to their history. Curated and owned by John Kozik, the collection features roughly 100 talking boards on display at any given time, spanning decades of design, cultural shifts, and public fear.
As a founding member of the Talking Board Historical Society, Kozik approaches the Ouija board not as a novelty or a menace, but as a cultural artifact. Many of the boards in the museum come from private collections or donations, each carrying its own story — not of demons or possession, but of how people have interacted with the unknown across generations.
The Ouija board’s reputation has long been shaped by Hollywood and rumor, casting it as a dangerous portal rather than a product of its time. But stripped down to its materials — wood, cardboard, ink, plastic — the question remains: where does the fear really come from? Is power embedded in the object itself, or does it come from belief, expectation, and human intention?
