Ouija is a game based upon our interest/gullibility for the supernatural (Parker Brothers now makes them with "glow in the dark" boards! - see first link).
Though there is claimed to be a mystical history to them (and apparently even "rules" on how to go about talking to the spirit world - see second link) this history is MADE UP. (Though, interestingly, the folks who continue to expound on this history are unaware of this important bit of information countering their claims.)
YES, that's right, William Fuld, the company owner (that made Ouija boards in the late 1800s), CREATED the currently "known" history! (Please read the third link)
Further, there is NO evidence that players can contact anything other than their own imaginations. The supernatural claims made concerning its use are often either exaggerated natural events or just plain mistaken (due, in part, to the preexisting expectations of the users).
Usually the burden of proof lies on the one making the claim... in this case the claim itself lies on Mr. Fuld's creative marketing strategy.

Come on guys, give the girl a decent answer!!! It is a board that has all the letters of the alphabet on and the words yes or no. It is used to channel spirits and ask them questions. But be aware that evil spirits lie and they can trick you into believing that they are someone their not. If you are curious about this you must under NO circumstances do it unless you are with someone who knows what they are doing. So then in other words leave the spirits be.

They are tools where a person can obtain information from the subconscious mind that is connected with eberything in the universe.
Howerver; Ouija boards can be very dangerous if you do not protect yourself.

They are something you should not play with or even think about, if you don't understand something, you should leave it alone. would you pull the pin on a grenade and walk around with it all day
