The Ouija Board has a long and unusually sordid history for a board game.

The Ouija Board has a long and unusually sordid history for a board game. It was first brought to the commercial market by a business man by the name of Elijah Bond in 1890 as nothing more than a parlor game. The “wonderful talking board” promised “never-failing amusement and recreation for all the classes.” It became hopelessly entangled in the occult years later when Spiritualists adopted it as a tool for divining.

People use these boards to try and make contact with spirits. Ask them questions and they will spell out their answers. It is thought this 'game' can be very risky, and something not to be messed with. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board and had a strange experience?
