This week we will be interviewing Robert Murch. Murch is the world's foremost collector, historian, and expert on Ouija and Talking Boards and serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Talking Board Historical Society which he founded. We will also be discussing other divining methods and how to release the fear to become empowered working with spirit.

We take a look at the board's invention, in particular two women behind it, Helen Peters and Ouida: a highly-educated, unconventional medium who later ended up denouncing Ouija, and the eccentric, dog-obsessed English writer whose name may have inspired the board's. In 1886, homemade talking boards became a new "Ohio craze" that newspapers reported widely around the country. Five years later, a man named Charles Kennard started a company to create his own talking board, which he claims he invented (though the prototype may have been made by his neighbor, a coffin maker turned undertaker.) But what most people don't know is that one woman's involvement in the Ouija board's creation had been totally written out of the history, until Ouija historian Robert Murch unearthed her story. We look at how a woman named Helen Peters was integral in ensuring the board got patented. She also was at the Ouija board session that the board's name came from, and wore a locket around her neck with another woman's name, Ouida, which is where the name "Ouija" may have emerged from.  Ouida was a real character--an extremely prolific, oddball author of somewhat scandalous 19th-century adventure novels--so we take a look at her life and wonder how we'd also never heard of her. We'll pick up again next week to talk about what happened to Kennard's company, and what happened to Ouija as the 20th century dawned.   For our shownotes, including our sources, visit buriedsecretspodcast.com.

When it comes to the Ouija Board, I have always harbored a morbid curiosity.  From the first time I played it at a sleepover, I started pondering: Is it a simple game designed for entertainment, or is it a true mystical device, capable of communication with the ‘Other Side’?  Luckily Ouija historian Robert Murch was […]

Robert Murch commenced his quest of research and discovery in the early 90s, having been inspired by the movie Witchboard several years prior; what began as a lonely antique Ouija board, soon developed into a full-blown museum collection, landing him where he is today – that is, with over 500 different talking board types, and several more hundred duplicates and variations to boot (totalling well over a thousand). It's fair to say that Murch is not your usual paranormal fanatic -- he approaches the bizarre mysteries of the board from a surprisingly rational viewpoint, unbiasedly exploring and entertaining the various possibilities. It was a genuinely fun and educational show that had us discussing the origin and history of the board, dispelling some of the myths surrounding the topic, and listening to some of the crazy stories that are out there. Murch was also kind enough to share some basic advice with us on conducting a talking board session. Some of these tips might seem obvious, but apparently not obvious enough for people to still forego them.

Eric and Marie wrap up the month of January welcoming our friend Roberrt Murch to the program. We're both excited to have Robert join us this Sunday night to talk about something near and dear to his heart, the Ouija or Talking Boards. Find out about the history, controversy and myths associated with this famous communcation device. Is it all a game?
