Ouija Board or known as spirit board is a flat board marked with the numbers 0-9, the letters of the alphabet,
the words “yes”, “no” and “goodbye”. The board utilizes a planchette of a
movable indicator to indicate what the spirit’s message is by spelling it out
on the board during a séance. The board was introduced by a businessman Elijah
Bond in 1890. Initially Ouija board was regarded as a mere board game and
unrelated to occult until an American self proclaimed spiritualist Pearl Curran
popularized it use during world war 1.

Although considered as hoax by
scientists, many of the people nowadays are believe that Ouija board can act as
a medium for the users to communicate with the spirit. The ill fated Roland Doe
was one of the users of the Ouija board which caused him to be possessed by the
demonic spirit.
