It's a board with numbers and letters on it. There's a triangle planchet. People gather in a group and lay their fingertips on it then invite spirits into the room so they can ask questions.
Contrary to some peoples belief, it's NOT evil. It's just a board with numbers and letters. It's no more evil than a car is evil.
It's also not a joke or a toy. It's a dangerous game. You don't know what spirit you're calling up because whatever spirit that answers can easily be lying to you. Not all spirits are nice.
Spare yourself the headache and pain and don't play with one of them.

A board with the letters of the alphabet printed round the edge, used at séances with a glass, pointer or other object to spell out messages supposed to be from the dead.
Honestly after working with the Ouija for 20 years I don't believe that your getting messages from the spirit world. I believe that your subconscious moves your muscles just enough so that you think someone else is moving the glass/pointer and you can't tell that your moving it yourself.

A ouija board is a game that you use to speak with spirits who have passed on. The problem with them is you can get a-hold of the wrong spirit and end up talking to a n evil entity that could cause all sorts of h*** in your life.

It is believed to be used to communicate with the spirit world. Skeptics believe it work on nothing more the suggestion on the part of the participants. There have been attempts to prove this by having the participants close their eyes and ask the same question. An observer watch the letters and no ledgible words were spelled...

Never use a ouija board alone...and using one when you don't really know what you're dealing with can cause you alot of problems...
Using one alone allows the spirit you're "talking" to ~ to somewhat posses you...which is NOT a good thing...NOT to mention..using one and NOT knowing what you are doing is opening a porthole for ANY spirit or evil to enter and turn your world upside down..Be careful also of the spirit who changes it's answers...they tend to lie at times to get you to believe they are someone you'd like to get to know better.

A game. No magic at all, any anyone who says differently is a liar. Name comes from the French and German words for "yes". It is based upon the brain causing the hand to move. Same as holding a weight from a string. You get the answer your subconscious mind gives to you. Casper the friendly Ghost is not controlling the movement of anything

It's a alpha/numeric board used to communicate with the spirits among us. It is very, very, very dangerous. Not precisely a toy, as many people think it is. You could end in HELL!

It is a device created by Satan and Milton Bradley, to have people conjure evil demons that do not know the other
methods.
