What is a ouija board

Basically, it’s a board, such as the one pictured above, you have to put your hand on a planchette, and the planchette is supposed to move around by itself and send you messages from the beyond

Brief history

The concept of “planchette writing” as a means of contacting the dead dates back to the Song Dynasty in China (1100 AD)

But the ouija board itself doesn’t have ancient roots

Ouija Boards had their roots in the Spiritual movement in the U.S that began during the 1840’s

Elijah Bond and others decided to take this board and turn it into a patented toy during 1890's 

Is it real, is it dangerous?

Some people have had some extremely bad encounters with this. Some say how it can unlock a portal into another dark world and let things in, you never want. 

Is it all in their minds or is it something genuine?

Who really knows the absolute truth, but here is where you can read about people and their experiences

Is there a scientific explanation?

Yes, there is! It’s called the ideometer effect, or basically the idea that your involuntary/unconsciously moving the planchette yourself! 

Here are some experiments and lots more information that support this notion
