5/12/20261 hr 26 min
Join the hosts of Fringe Beyond as they dive into the unsettling history and lore of the Ouija board, mixing personal encounters, famous cases, scientific explanations, and pop culture influence. From Patience Worth and AA’s founder to creepy modern Reddit tales, they explore whether the board is a psychological trick or a real bridge to the beyond.
Expect personal stories, experiments, and a lively debate on safety rules, the ideomotor effect, and why the board still captivates — and terrifies — people after more than a century.
