The board itself is usually a flat board with letters of the alphabet, numbers, and other symbols printed on it, along with a planchette, which is a heart-shaped or triangular device with a small window in the center. The players place their fingers on the planchette, which then moves around the board to spell out words, phrases, or answer yes-or-no questions. While many people believe that Ouija boards can be used to communicate with spirits, some people use them as a form of divination or to contact deceased loved ones. A simple board game or a powerful tool to communicate with spirits? Tune in this week to hear real Ouija stories and how these interesting "games" rose to prominence.

Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was a 16th-century French physician and astrologer. He is widely famous for his book "Les Prophéties," which consists of a collection of 942 quatrains (four-line poems) that are said to predict future events. Although many of Nostradamus' predictions are open to interpretation, some have been linked to significant events in history, such as the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the 9/11 attacks. Nostradamus was born in 1503 in the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France. He received a medical degree from the University of Montpellier and later became a physician, treating patients during outbreaks of the bubonic plague. In addition to his medical work, Nostradamus was known for his interest in astrology and the occult, which led him to create his predictions for the future. Despite the mystique surrounding Nostradamus and his prophecies, many of his predictions are vague and lack specificity, leading to multiple interpretations. Some believe that Nostradamus had a gift for seeing into the future, while others view his predictions as nothing more than clever wordplay and superstition. Regardless of one's beliefs, Nostradamus continues to be a topic of fascination and discussion hundreds of years after his death.

The size, scope, and shock of it all catapulted the United States into World War II and forever changed the course of the world. One major question remains unanswered: did President Rooselvelt know the attack was coming and did he let it happen? This conspiracy theory has been debated by politicians and historians since before the fires were even extinguished. Many people say that FDR was looking for a reason to get involved in the war, and this might have been an opportunity too good for him to pass up.
