Summary

Oujia boards over the years have been very controversial. Some people think its a method to speak to the devil while others feel its a way to connect with ancestors. Back in 1100 AD Oujia board were used in healing practices and rituals until scammers got ahold of the ouija board and started lying to people about what the board was saying. After the scammers were exposed people said the board was “Demonic” and no one should use the board. But despite the 50/50 opinions about the ouija board today, people still use it and some even on a daily basis. And 49 year-old Donald Hartung was one of those people. Donald claimed to be a Wiccan and had been practicing witchcraft for 3 years. He also claimed to have a close relationship with his family and visited the family home where his mother and 2 brothers lived, every Tuesday to make them dinner. But on July 28th, 2015 police would be called to the family home after one of the brothers, Richard Hartung, hadn’t showed up to work and his co-workers couldn’t get ahold of him. When the police entered the home that’s when they would find the horrific and bloody scene of the murdered family lying underneath a pile of clothes. Donald was the only family member alive and was brought into questioning. And it wasn’t until then, that the police started to slowly uncover Donalds real relationship with the family and the greedy motive for the murders. Learn more about your ad choices.
