The Ouija Board, also known as a spirit board or talking board, is one of the most well-known tools out there to communicate with spirits, demons, spirit guides, paranormal entities and angels. It has gained massive amounts of media attention since its creation, and has appeared in many shows and movies about the paranormal. It is a world-famous device for communicating with the other side, but it should be used with caution.

The Ouija Board, otherwise known as an Ouija Board Game or an Ouija board, was created by Charles Kennard in the 1890s. Charles Kennard noticed the rising interest in the occult and paranormal entities, and wanted to invent a “Talking Table” which would encourage spirits to communicate with our world.

Kennard created a prototype of the board. The name supposedly came from his sister-in-law, who was a medium, and asked the board what it should be called. The board replied, “Ouija”. She asked what the word meant, and the board replied, “good luck”. As in - you’re going to need it.

What Does an Ouija Board Do?

Our Spirit Shack Ouija board is a platform which encourages those in the spirit world to communicate with our world. It consists of a large board with letters and numbers on it and a planchette, which is a plastic heart-shaped tool with a hole cut out of it, used to spell out a word, identify certain numbers or phrases.

The Ouija Board has been used in circumstances where people are aware that they are in the presence of a paranormal spirit. For example, if a person has recently passed within an area. They have been used throughout history as part of the spiritualist movement. Mediums have used them for many years to communicate with the dead, and Ouija Boards are one of the most prolific tools for communicating with the paranormal.

Ouija Boards offer the benefit of being able to communicate in full phrases, sentences or open-ended questions with spirits. This is a rare ability and something that many other devices for communicating with the paranormal do not offer.

The Ouija board was created as a way that families or friends could gather and communicate with the dead without soliciting the help of a medium or likewise. People at the time were desperate for methods to communicate with the dead that would be fast and effective. The Ouija board is an easy and relatively straightforward way you can communicate with the dead from within the comfort of your home.

It has been used for centuries for this purpose, but does not come without fair warning. The Ouija Board is used as a pointer for spirits to pick out words and phrases. It should not be considered a game or a joke, and can have serious repercussions and even destroy lives if not used correctly.

How To Use an Ouija Board?

Traditionally, during a séance (a session where you attempt to communicate with spirits) participants all place their fingers on the planchette.

The idea is that paranormal entities will be able to communicate with you through moving your hands which are on the planchette, spelling out words or heading to the “yes” or “no” pointers on the board depending on questions you ask.

The board contains yes and no sections, letters and also numbers. This leaves the opportunity to ask the spirits a number of questions, including open-ended questions. Being able to ask open-ended questions is not something that is very common among devices used to communicate with the paranormal, making this Ouija Board unique.
