Mystery of Ouija Board


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.
