Ouija board

The Ouija boardalso known as spirit board or talking board, is a flat wooden board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words "yes", "no", "hello" (occasionally), and "goodbye", along with various symbols and graphics.

It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit 's message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. Participants place their fingers on the planchette and it is moved about the board to spell out words.
