Ouija boards have always been a source of fascination, intrigue, and sometimes fear for people around the world. The board has been used as a tool for communicating with the spirits of the dead since it was introduced in the 19th century. However, many people still wonder about whether it is just a parlor game or something more sinister.
The ouija board is essentially a flat board with letters, numbers, and symbols printed on it. It also has a small movable pointer or planchette that is used to spell out messages. The way ouija boards work is that a group of people sit around it and place their fingers lightly on the planchette, and then ask questions. The idea is that the planchette will move and spell out answers from the spirits.
While many people have used ouija boards without any issues, there are several disturbing stories associated with this board. The first documented case of an ouija board being used to communicate with spirits was in 1886. Since then, there have been reports of people becoming possessed, or of spirits becoming upset and refusing to leave the board alone. There have also been several cases of people experiencing unexplained accidents shortly after using ouija boards.
As a novelist, I find the stories associated with ouija boards to be both intriguing and macabre. These incidents make excellent fodder for horror stories and can certainly engage readers for a long time. But it is important to remember that these are just stories, and there is no scientific proof to support them.
There are also those who believe that using ouija boards is a sin and warn against it. That's why the Catholic Church and some Protestant denominations have released condemnations on the use of the ouija board as a way of communication with the dead.
In conclusion, ouija boards have been a subject of controversy for many years, and people have different views about them. Whether it is a harmless way to have fun with friends or something that should be avoided at all costs, it is important to approach them with caution. While the supernatural can make for excellent storytelling, as with any form of fiction, it's always essential to remember that it's just that - fiction.
