Ouija boards
A Ouija board is a flat surface marked with letters, numbers, and common words like "yes" and "no," used as a tool for spiritual or psychological Experiments. Participants place their fingers on a planchette, a small movable pointer, and ask questions. The planchette appears to move spontaneously, supposedly guided by spirits or subconscious cues, to spell out answers. While many see it as a fun or mystical activity, scientific explanations attribute the movements to unconscious muscle activity or suggestion. It is often used for entertainment, introspection, or exploring beliefs about the supernatural.
