A spooky Museum located in Salem, Massachusetts is a popular tourist attraction that has been capturing a lot of attention lately. There is a one in existence.

The Ouija Board Museum is owned by John Kozik. He reveals the establishment also has a scary reputation for causing unexplainable and creepy chaos with visitors.

Ouija Board Museum History

Ouija Board Museum Owner John Kozik reveals that his love for the game comes from his grandmother. He became fascinated with the spooky game, and since, it has become a lifelong passion.

John Kozik reveals that he began collecting the boards at a young age and now owns hundreds. He knew that he wanted to do something unique and special with his collection, so he began searching for the perfect spot to open his Ouija Board Museum and showcase his collection.

In 2019, he finally settled on the ideal location in Salem, Massachusetts. Kozik admits that while he has never seen anything unusual during his time in Salem. He has heard many tales of strange happenings from locals and tourists.

He also admits that the Ouija Boards in the museum also tend to have an adverse effect on some of his guests.

Strange Health Issues Effect Guests at The Salem Ouija Board Museum

Owner John Kozik says that for some guests inside the Ouija Board Museum gets to be too much. Many often have to exit the building mid-tour.

"It's a daily occurrence where people have to leave the museum because of the pressure they feel in their head or their chest. People walk around with their heads tilted back just from being in the room," he told the outlet. He says his guests often begin to feel ill, with some even passing out.

There are also plenty of other strange paranormal issues that have occurred. Some visitors have revealed that after they take photos, the pictures come out blurry, or their camera malfunctions altogether.

"I can't explain how people take photographs pretty consistently of things that come back blurry or the phones malfunction, and they have to restart them," he said

Each Ouija board is Very Different

There are many frightening tales attached to every single Ouija Board in the museum. While every board is inherently a bit spooky because of its purpose, some boards have especially chilling histories.

The Salem Ouija Board Museum owner recalls a few bizarre stories that have accompanied some witch boards.

John shares that one package he received was covered in caution tape because the previous owners had such a spooky and negative experience with the boards.

The owner describes another occasion of receiving another box filled with salt and a miniature bible resting atop an Ouija Board. The history surrounding this particular witch board reveals the previous owner purchased the board at an estate sale.

The previous owner's son allegedly found the witch board, and hellish chaos unfolded. They say after their son played with the board, strange events began to take place.

They claim their son began "eating the furniture and speaking in tongues, speaking to something he couldn't see. And he tried to kill one of his siblings," Kozik said.

Visitors Beware of Warnings

Salem Ouija Board Museum owner John Kozik offers interested parties and visitors some advice. He strongly urges those in negative headspaces to stay away from the boards at all costs.

"If you fear the board. I would suggest you don't use the [it] under those circumstances, because you're probably not going to have the best experience using it." Throughout history, superstitions and warnings continue to be passed down regarding spirit boards.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own belief and opinions on the subject. But many will throw down words of warning. Use with caution, whether, it is used as an innocent game or something more sinister.

    I've never used a Ouija board myself, but I've heard many stories from people who have had both positive and negative experiences.

  • Ouija Boards are scary, anyone have an experience to share?
