Ouija board.
Bearing a name said to be derived from the French and German words for “yes,” the Ouija board is simply a flat, smooth board bearing the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and often the words “Yes,” “No,” “Maybe,” and “Goodbye.” A hand-sized, heart-shaped device perched upon three short legs, each of which has a pad or wheel to enable the instrument to slide freely across the board, is known as the planchette. This is used as a pointer, the tapered end of the heart shape indicating letters on the board.
One or more operators sit around the board, each lightly resting fingers upon the top of the planchette. It is said that spirits or other entities cause the planchette to move about the board, spelling out messages and answers to questions posed by the operators. (This process is a form of “dactylomancy,” or divination by means of finger motions.)
Actually, the movement is due to the ideomotor effect and this can be shown by the fact that when the operator is properly blindfolded, only gibberish is produced.
The Ouija board was patented in 1892 by a Maryland novelty company.

Ouija boards are considered an occult gateway, the problem with them is that once people open the gateway they dont know how to close it. The Bible forbids the act of trying to communicate with the dead and for good reason

Wikipedia has a good section on the criticism of Ouija boards--basically, the critics believe that the risks involve communicating with demons and sometimes even demonic possession.

you are calling in spirits, and that is probably not a good idea. you never know who is going to answer your invitation. it's best not to muck around with it if you don't know what you are doing

Well, your trying to speak to the dead..... If you happen to "speak" to anyone, it's the devil ******* with you. It's in the Bible and you should read it.
