Details

Gather your courage and join us for the wild ride through dark history!
Public historian and storyteller Rissa Miller returns to the museum for her new-in-2025 presentation detailing the history of the Ouija Board. With its roots in Baltimore and on the Eastern Shore, this much-feared (and much misunderstood) oracle system is Maryland's own magical seer.
This is an original program by Rissa Miller. Join us in the darkness the start of spooky season! This program is expected to sell out. Costumes and spooky attire are very welcome.
Reservations required, no walk-ups accepted. Tickets will be refunded for any issues arising due to health concerns. Thank you for your continued support and please stay safe & well. Recommended for guests age 12 and up, but you know your child best.
Please note, there are no paper tickets and nothing will be mailed to you. Program may be cancelled due to inclement weather, or flood watches or warnings: refunds or rescheduling options available.
If you cannot attend an event you bought tickets for, please let us know within 24 hours for a full refund, or to exchange for another date. Please do not attempt to resell your ticket. We keep waiting lists for events and tickets are offered to those waiting before the general public. For refunds or questions, contact us at [email protected]
