A ouija board is not merely a toy, many people have experienced paranormal activity when using a ouija board that cannot be explained by science. If you are trying to reach a deceased friend or relative, you may actually be inviting other spirits into your home who may be tricking you in order to cross into your dimension and haunt or possess you. Please consult with an expert on the occult before using a ouija board and preferably have them in the same room to protect yourself from malicious spirits.
