The game consists of a flat board with the alphabet, numbers 0 to 9, a “yes”, “no” and “goodbye” along with a teardrop device. The Ouija board is said to have an obsession with spiritualism. Spiritualism is the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living. No one knows for sure where this board came from and why a toy company started producing them. Since 1992, historian Robert Murch has been trying to figure out the background of the Ouija board. He had said “no one really knew anything about its origins”. It had confused him and made him question many things. “For such an iconic thing that strikes both fear and wonder in American culture, how can no one know where it came from?” Murch said. The Kennard Novelty Company was the first company in the United States to manufacture Ouija boards Kennard left the company in 1891, and the Kennard Novelty Company became the Ouija Novelty Company. There are many ways to play the game but but there is one common one. Step one would be to designate one person to ask all the questions. The second step is to have all players gently place their index and middle fingers on the planchette and slowly move the planchette in circles to let the board warm up. Third you would the board questions. A fourth step is to concentrate and watch the device move around to make words. The last step after finished playing the game is to say goodbye. When playing the game, it is said to not yell and be polite when asking or speaking to the board. There have been many stories about people who don’t play the game right or those who don't say goodbye. There have been cases where the board talks people into doing what it wants. Another case is where the board allows a being from the supernatural world to possess a living body. There are a lot of dangers and risks when playing the game. Still, to this day, no one knows the exact origination of the Ouija board. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Use-a-Ouija-Board%3famp=1#ampshare=https://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Ouija-Board http://www.kennardnoveltycompany.com https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-strange-and-mysterious-history-of-the-ouija-board-5860627/ http://mentalfloss.com/article/12952/brief-history-ouija-board Ambush!
