A Ouija Board is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words “yes” and “no”, and various other symbols. It is used in sances to communicate with spirits. Participants place their fingers on a planchette, a small heart-shaped piece of wood or plastic, and ask questions. The planchette is then said to move around the board, spelling out answers to the questions.
Ouija Boards have been around for over a century, and their popularity has waxed and waned over the years. Some people believe that Ouija Boards are a legitimate way to communicate with spirits, while others believe that they are simply a game. There is no scientific evidence to support the claims that Ouija Boards can be used to communicate with spirits, but there are many anecdotal reports of people having had experiences with Ouija Boards that they believe were real.
