19th Century Ouija Board Stories (Ouija Board Series)

Chris digs up some early stories of people getting waaay too obsessed with their Ouija boards. Highlights include: • a rare story of a 19th century black woman's experience with Ouija • a couple destroying their home to (supposedly) convert the world to Masonic principles • Presidential talking boards • petty society columns • Ouija wrecking havoc on a wealthy Brooklyn family • a man finding spiritual fulfillment through Ouija Most of these stories take place during the Victorian era, but we also look at a few in the early 20th century, going up to the start of WWI, which is when Ouijamania really kicked off.
