The Ouija Board which is also known as Spirit Board or Talking Board, it is a flat board marked with the letters of alphabets, the numbers 0 to 9, the word "yes", "no", "hello", and "goodbye", along with the various symbols and graphics.
During a séance a planchette (small heart shaped piece of wood or plastic) is used as a indicator to indicate a spirits message by spelling it out on board.
Mystery behind Ouija Board
Actually Ouija Board uses a Ideomotor phenomenon which is psychological phenomenon where in subject makes motions unconsciously.
The Ideomotor effect refer to the suggestion or involuntary or expectation and unconscious motor behaviour. The movement of planchette pointer on Ouija Boards, of a facilitator's hand in facilitated communication, of hands and arms in applied kinesiology, and of some behaviour attributed to hypnotic suggestion, are due to Ideomotor effect.
The muscular movement can be initiated by mind independently by emotions or volition. We may not be aware of it, but suggestions can be made to mind by observations or by others. Those suggestions can influence mind and affect Ideomotor behaviour.
