The ParanormalistVince Wilson

A parlor experiment from The Paranormalist

The Talking Board

In 1890 a Baltimore lawyer named Elijah Bond filed the patent for a talking board, and the city has been asking it questions ever since. Bond lies in Green Mount Cemetery under a headstone shaped like his board. This one is Vince Wilson’s, and it keeps the old house rules.

Ask kindly. Keep a fingertip on the planchette. Always say good bye.

Ask your question, then rest a fingertip on the planchette.
