If you follow us on social media, you’ll know we recently asked if we should use a Ouija board, and, well… let’s just say the response was overwhelming. The general consensus? “Girl, is you dumb?”

Ouija boards have been a staple of horror movies and ghost stories for decades, but Kim started wondering—are they really exclusively bad? If they truly connect with spirits, why do people assume only negative entities come through? Is this reputation deserved, or is there more to the story?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the mystery and history of the Ouija board, tackling questions like:

•What exactly is a Ouija board, and where did it come from?

•How does it work (if it works at all)?

•What’s the proof—both scientific and experiential?

•And most importantly, is it really all bad? Or is its terrifying reputation based on something else entirely?

Join us on this episode as we investigate the spooky, the skeptical, and everything in between.

*Warning: As proud Canadians, we do get a bit salty in this episode about our current frenemy to the South*

Life after death is possible, and ghosties are real - and we've got the science to back it up! In this engaging conversation, Kim and Rachel delve into the intriguing topics of consciousness, life after death, and the scientific exploration (and proof!) of the paranormal. They discuss the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (not to be confused with Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo), the implications of an essay contest on life after death, and the nature of consciousness itself. The conversation also touches on the connection between consciousness and the Earth, the Akashic record (what IS that?), and not just the potential for life after death, but the probability for life after death, all while maintaining a light-hearted and humorous tone.
