A spirit board, often referred to as a Ouija board, is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and various symbols. It is typically used in spiritual practices to communicate with spirits or the deceased. Participants place their fingers on a planchette, a small movable indicator, which is believed to glide over the board to spell out messages. The board has gained popularity in various cultures and is often associated with paranormal activities and séances. Its use raises questions about the nature of communication with the spirit world and the psychological effects on participants.
