A Ouija board  also known as a spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with letters,numbers and other symbols, supposedly used to communicate with spirits.   

In 1889, the Ouiji Board was said to have been invented by William Fuid. The patents were purchased in 1966 by the Parker Brothers, by 1967 the Ouiji Board was extremely popular, but before too long many people thought how dangerous the Ouiji Board was. Many Psychiatrists, Medical Doctors, and Psychologists have written articles warning people about the use of the Ouiji Board.

The Ouiji Board is a plain board of  Masonite with a paper top. The Alphabet, the words yes and no, and goodbye is printed on the top. The board also has a small heart with a see through section, this is used as the message indicator.

Two people use a Ouiji Board, they would sit across the table from each other and lightly place their fingers on the message indicator. One of the two people would ask a question, the indicator will begin to move letter to letter, spelling out words or sentences, or move to yes or no, when it is finished answering the question the indicator would move to goodbye.

Over the years there have been reports of  possession of users, and it is important to be respectful. Some people have become very emotionally disturbed when using it foolishly.
