About John:
John Kozik grew up in “America’s Hometown,” Plymouth, Massachusetts, where he was close with his grandmother Franny. So close, in fact, that some of his earliest memories are watching her use an Ouija board. Her hands would fly across the board, with each message rubbing more and more of the ink away. After she passed John inherited her worn board sparking his collecting obsession. John is a musician, writer, and manager, recording and touring the world over the past 30 years and appearing on over 40 records to date. He is a founding member and treasurer of the Talking Board Historical Society, a non-profit that researches, preserves, and celebrates the history of talking boards. In 2019 John opened The Salem Witch Board Museum, the world's only museum dedicated to the history and lore of Ouija and talking board
