This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOTucked away in Salem, the Salem Witch Board Museum houses the largest public collection of Ouija boards in the world — and the only museum dedicated entirely to their history. Curated and owned by John Kozik, the collection features roughly 100 talking boards on display at any given time, spanning decades of design, cultural shifts, and public fear.As a founding member of the Talking Board Historical Society, Kozik approaches the Ouija board not as a novelty or a menace, but as a cultural artifact. Many of the boards in the museum come from private collections or donations, each carrying its own story — not of demons or possession, but of how people have interacted with the unknown across generations.The Ouija board's reputation has long been shaped by Hollywood and rumor, casting it as a dangerous portal rather than a product of its time. But stripped down to its materials — wood, cardboard, ink, plastic — the question remains: where does the fear really come from? Is power embedded in the object itself, or does it come from belief, expectation, and human intention?For more information, visit their website at salemwitchboardmuseum.com.#TheGraveTalks #OuijaBoard #SalemWitchBoardMuseum #TalkingBoards #ParanormalHistory #HauntedObjects #OccultHistory #SalemMassachusetts #TrueParanormalLove real ghost stories?

He often clarifies that “Ouija” is actually a brand name for what are more generally called talking boards, spirit boards, or witch boards. John's expertise traces the origins of these boards back to the American spiritualist movement after the Civil War, a time when grief and curiosity about the afterlife inspired people to seek ways to communicate with lost loved ones. In his work, John explains how these communication methods evolved - from simple yes-or-no knock responses to elaborate systems of counting knocks, eventually leading to the invention of the talking board as a faster, more direct means of spiritual communication. Through his research and storytelling, John Kozik reveals the deep human longing behind our fascination with the unknown.Link : Website: https://www.salemwitchboardmuseum.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salem_witch_board_museum/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Salem.Witch.Board.MuseumConnect Ashleigh : https://www.instagram.com/bigcrystalenergypodcast/https://www.instagram.com/mystical.mama.ashSend me any questions or comments you may have and I will answer them on upcoming podcast episodes!!

“How long have you been in the snare of the devil?” That was the lose‑lose question asked of those—mostly women—accused of witchcraft in Essex County, where Salem Village was located, in 1692. According to the Cornell University historian Mary Beth Norton, PhD '69, however, it was the accusers, rather than their targets, who were in the thrall of something powerful. In her 2002 Ambassador Award–winning book In the Devil's Snare, Norton says that the Salem witchcraft crisis was driven not by a demonic force, but rather by the trauma of the nearby wars with New England's Indigenous populations—conflicts that had been raging for many years and had left an indelible mark on many refugees who fled to towns on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

This week, we dive into the haunting history of the Salem witch trials, a dark chapter in early America where fear and superstition set entire communities ablaze. From the first accusations to the tragic executions, we uncover the hysteria that gripped Salem and how it continues to echo in today's conversations about justice and truth.To bring the story to life, we blend in powerful narratives, chilling atmosphere, and—of course—metal music that captures the intensity of this period. Expect riffs as heavy as the gallows, and stories as haunting as the accusations themselves.History, myth, and metal collide—welcome to Salem.

Episode Summary: Jennifer Tozer, librarian at Pueblo Community College in Colorado, shares how she created "Witch Trials: Accusation to Exoneration" - a comprehensive month-long educational program running throughout October. When traditional museum exhibits weren't available, Jennifer built her own visual displays from scratch, featuring poster exhibits, author presentations, virtual tours with the Salem Witch Museum, and discussions connecting historical witch trials to modern-day accusations.For Educators: This episode offers practical inspiration for teachers looking to create engaging historical programming with limited budgets. Jennifer's approach demonstrates how to make distant history relevant to today's students while addressing misconceptions and encouraging critical thinking.Program Details: "Witch Trials: Accusation to Exoneration" runs throughout October at Pueblo Community College Library, featuring interactive exhibits, scavenger hunts, and community presentations.Perfect for history teachers, librarians, and educators interested in innovative programming that brings historical events to life for modern students.LinksBuy the book A Salem Witch by Dan A GagnonBuy the book The Heretics Daughter by Kathleen KentPueblo Community College's Humanities Newsletter with Witch Trials History Event DatesThe Thing About Salem YouTube⁠The Thing About Salem Patreon⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts YouTube⁠⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts

Synopsis When a small town catholic priest commits suicide, he apparently opens a gate to hell. Elsewhere a young psychic predicts the resulting apocalypse of the dead rising from the grave, and she promptly dies. Did I say she dies? Just kidding, a reporter finds her alive in a graveyard. They travel to the small town she saw in the vision named Dunwich, and team up with another couple and… do things?  Review of City of the Living Dead (1980) What is there to say about City of the Living Dead that hasn't already been said by wacky mad libs? It feels like someone with attention deficit disorder and short term memory loss was tasked with making a horror movie, and made it up as they went along. Even the title is a misnomer, at most this is a village or hamlet of the living dead. If you find yourself asking what is going on, rest assured that you will not find answers by the end. I'm sure if you asked Lucio Fulci to explain, you'd get some hand wavy explanation that would mention H.P. Lovecraft, the Salem Witch trial, and Heresy against god. The impression is that making sense is not a large concern for this film, this is more of a strap in and enjoy the ride film. Along the way you will be treated by some surprisingly good practical effects including bleeding from the eyes, lots of smashed brains, and a drill press through the jaw.  I can't say that it held my rapt attention, but it did have some good moments. This is a great movie to watch with friends, preferably under the influence of some kind of substance. In my case sitting alone, sober, watching this movie as an assignment from patrons, It was not super enjoyable. Score 3/10

Originally released for Patrons on Sep 26, 2024 In this episode, Hallie dives into the web of social factors that likely drove the Salem Witch trials. The bewitched girls, called the afflicted, were from one faction in town, while the accused were from another. Is this a coincidence? Probably not.

In this thirty-fourth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we return to Bristol County, Massachusetts once more, over sixteen years after Brad Collins made his blood pact with the undead witch, Marina Harts. Fame and fortune are his. But now... the final toll for what he's been given is almost due.

The Grave Talks Best of 2024

The Grave Talks Best of 2024

J. Craig Williams believes empathy is an important quality to be a trial lawyer. It's served him in his profession, and it's a tool he has also been using as an author trying to get into the minds of people from past eras. In How Would You Decide? 10 Famous Trials That Changed History, Book One, Williams examines cases and trials from history through the lens of a modern trial lawyer. He uses the accounts of the historical proceedings to illustrate current principles of litigation and civil rights, and explains what each can tell us about the rule of law.  In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Williams tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles that empathy was key in trying to understand the people involved in events like the Salem Witch trials, and figuring out how injustices could be perpetrated. He realized there were parallels to be drawn between society in late-17th century Salem and American society today. The 10 trials featured in this first volume of How Would You Decide? are: The Trial of Jesus The Salem Witch Trials Boston Massacre Trial Civil War Tipping Point and Aftermath Trials (Dred Scott, John Brown, Plessy v. Ferguson) O.K. Corral Shootout Trial of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday The Black Sox Trial The Scopes “Monkey Trial” The Lindy Chamberlain Trial The McMartin Preschool Trial The O.J. Simpson Murder Trial The case that most readers bring up when speaking with Williams is the Boston Massacre trial. Williams, who grew up in New England, says he was surprised to find during his research that there was much he hadn't known about the case himself. Founding Father and future president John Adams was the attorney who successfully defended the British soldiers who fired into the Massachusetts crowd, an extremely risky professional and social decision. Williams and Rawles discuss Adams's representation and what it meant for the establishment of the rule of law in the United States. Listeners might best know Williams from his Lawyer2Lawyer podcast, which he launched in 2005, making him a pioneer in legal podcasting. Since Williams was already familiar with audio production, How Would You Decide? was a natural fit for multimedia. He launched a companion website, 10FamousTrials.com, making available more of the source material he relied on to write the book. He also partnered with Legal Talk Network to release a miniseries podcast, which is currently in production. In Dispute covers one of the 10 trials each episode, featuring commentary and reenactments drawn from trial transcripts and historical documents. In this episode, Williams and Rawles discuss his research process, how he selected which trials to feature, and what might make it into Book Two. They also get into the holiday spirit by talking about The Sled, a Christmas story Williams and his wife wrote for their grandchildren.

Annika Hylmö, Ph.D is the producer of a dynamic documentary called The Last Witch about the last woman to be convicted in the Salem Witch trials. It is a compelling program about standing up for the persecuted to give them a voice. 22-year-old Elizabeth Johnson Jr was the last person convicted in the 1692 trials. Elizabeth did not fit in. She was considered odd and called simple. Society persecuted, labeled, and condemned her at trial as a detestable witch. She was sentenced to death. She was not executed but the conviction never left. She had a lifelong label. Elizabeth was not exonerated until 330 years later when an 8th-grade civics class helped clear her name by the Massachusetts state legislature. Annika's production is the story of Elizabeth from her perspective and what she endured. It is about making amends and righting wrongs and how people are still cut down and condemned just as they were in the 1600s. It carries a powerful message of how we can improve our world to make it a place that doesn't condemn, bully, or persecute people just because they are different.

Send us a textYou will hear a detailed discussion on how with time the hysteria of the Salem Witch trails ended. Various factors, such as the changing local political climate and the rules around convictions changed  - but not overnight. Also provided will be an explanation of the archaic court system used then in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that in some ways hastened both convictions and hangings. And provided will be a better understanding of those who were still in jail as of 1693 and their eventual fate. The events between 1692 through to 1711 will be covered, through interviews with Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack, both descendants of those tried and convicted at the time.This is the third podcast on this topic of New England Witch Trials and links to the other two are below.

Tonya took some freaky pictures while touring Salem, Massachusetts and Haunted AF will take a look at one in particular this week.

The Purple Heart honors the men and women who are of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. During the American Revolutionary War, the Badge for Military Merit decorated six known soldiers. General George Washington created the Badge of Merit in 1782. Washington intended the honor to be presented to soldiers for "any singularly meritorious action." Its design included a purple, heart-shaped piece of silk bound with a thin edge of silver. Across the face, the word Merit was embroidered in silver. While the badge symbolized the courage and devotion of an American Patriot, no one knows who designed the award.  

You've heard of Salem, Massachusetts - a town infamously known across the world for the horrendous Salem Witch trials and the falsely accused men and women who were sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft, but have you heard of its neighbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts? Marblehead is full of charm and it happens to be Sabrina's new home.  Crooked streets, lopsided houses, a picturesque Americana town that inspired horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft - Marblehead is charming, rich with history of daring sea captains, pioneers in industry and the most historic homes in a United States town, but it is also flooded with history and haunts. The energy is palpable. And if you're a fan of Hocus Pocus, you'll recognize the Old Burial Hill (a Marblehead cemetery) from the film -- it's the cemetery in which Max gets his sneakers stolen. A screeching woman, a white wizard, accused witches, haunted schools, and so many other hauntings occur in this small town...  Despite their independence from Salem, Marblehead was plagued by the neighboring Witch Trials and one resident, Wilmot Redd, was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging on September 22, 1692 in Salem, MA. A plaque is dedicated in her owner at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery -- a historic Puritan burial ground that was established in 1638 and is known to be haunted. People report hearing disembodied voices and footsteps or seeing shadow figures and apparitions. Marblehead is also home to one of the oldest coastal forts in the United States -- the Old Fort Seawall -- which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in April of 1975.

One person's psychosis can be easily dismissed, but how do we account for collective hysteria, when an entire crowd sees the same illusion or suffer from the same illness? It's enough to make somebody believe in dark magic and pick up their pitchfork, ready to hang an accused witch.Sadly, such paranoia has led to many witch hunts in the past. In today's episode we look at some of the most notorious historical cases of mass hysteria and moral panics. But these cases don't only extend to Puritan-era witch panics. We will also look at cases that hit closer to home—such as economic bubbles and the housing market crash of the early 2000s.This episode includes such cases of mass hysteria as-- Dancing mania, in which German peasants in 1374 spent weeks dancing in a fugue state, with some toppling over dead from utter exhaustion-- The cat nuns of medieval France, where the sisters became to inexplicably meow together, leaving the surrounding community perplexed-- The Salem Witch trials, where 19 were executed due to claims of sorcery-- The Jersey Devil Panic, in which dozens of newspapers claimed in 1909 that a winged creature attacked a trolley car in Haddon Heights
