It has been embraced as entertainment, feared as dangerous, and immortalized in horror films, books, and urban legends. But long before it became a fright-night staple, its story began with something much bigger: a Victorian fascination with Spiritualism and communicating with the dead.Join author and historian Ann McDougall as she traces the surprising history of the Ouija board, from the parlours of the 19th century to its transformation into a commercial game and, eventually, a cultural phenomenon.A little history. A little supernatural.
