Show notes

The Ouija board has been sold as a game for over a century, but its reputation goes far beyond the toy aisle. For some, it’s a harmless parlor trick. For others, it’s a doorway to something that should never be opened.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, Lyle and Megan sit down with horror and thriller author Scott Wells to talk about his book Marked by the Ouija and the real-life legends that inspired it. Scott shares the story behind his novel, why the Ouija continues to fascinate and terrify, and the cultural impact that’s kept it in the spotlight for generations. From the history of talking boards to the chilling experiences people still share today, this conversation uncovers the mystery of one of the most infamous tools of the supernatural.

Whether you believe it’s just cardboard and plastic or something much darker, you won’t look at the Ouija board the same way after this episode.
