I got an ouija board yesterday. When I got it, I said to it: Could you hear me? It said: AAAAAAAAAAA YYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU After that, I realized it was a Soulja Board.
This article has a bit more about the possible origin of the Ouija name. I heard the "oui" + "ja" theory too but couldn't find evidence for it.

Seems to me that the Ouija has successfully dodged religious resistance by marketing itself as a "game". It is sort of the opposite of Tarot, which most researchers believe originated as a game, and is still played as a game in European countries; but in the U.S. is considered purely a tool for divination.
It is still a very boring game. I have played with the board many times with my friends and nothing happened. So for a fact, I can 100% confirm that nothing happens. We also tried a lot of ways to play with it, just to avoid trying playing the game the wrong way. To be honest, save your $20 and go play UNO or something else. It will be 100000% more fun and enjoyable and on top of that, nobody will suspect that you are a Satanist.
Why not? It doesn't do anything unless someone consciously starts shoving it around, and there is always some joker at the table who does. Ask it for next weeks Lotto numbers.
The Ouija board of my childhood was ultra smooth and slippery. The planchette could really move around without it feeling like anyone was directing it. All the Ouija boards I've encountered recently have highly textured surfaces, seemingly by design. That planchette ain't goin nowhere unless you push it. It really sucks. I'm not sure why they did this. But definitely no one is going to have the experience of ethereal guidance that we did as kids. I can only presume that's the intent.
I don't mess with Ouija Boards. I have a friend who has a cousin who knew a lady that worked at the factory in China which produced the boards for Hasbro. Well, the factory screwed up and used the spiritual plastic for the planchette in the Battleship board games. They KNEW they made a mistake but shipped the games to Toys R Us and Walmart anyway. People who bought those copies of Battleship were accidentally summoning and sinking spirits of the dead.
Six out of ten people in the United States believe in ghosts -- that many people can't be wrong. If ghosts are fake, why would so many people dedicate their time to believing a lie? Most of the US founders believed in spirits. We were pretty much founded as a ghost nation. Also, I took a community college course on spirits and demons (Demonology 101). I have a certificate! I'm pretty much an expert and you should trust me when I say ghosts are REAL.
Why? It is a stupid piece of cardboard that doesn't do anything . You could put it in the bottom of your bird cage and see if the bird poops spell out something important.

funny thing back then there was a fascination with Egypt following Napoleons's campaign in the 1800s there and as a result some weird stuff got associated with Egypt. Like the Slab Seriff font, the font that nowadays we're used to see associated with Western movies and cowboys and other American type posters was known as the EGYPTIAN typeface. It's hard to understand the jumP to make such associations nowadays but it was a weird result of pop culture back then. It doesn't make sense to us but for them, Ouija, in their ignorance sounded perfectly magical and foreign and as such egyptian. Makes us wonder what unrelated things today we associate with certain cultures or other topics.
I had an ouija when I was 12, during 1973, and nothing bad happened from it. Back then, they were made of that masonite wood, like those brown clipboards from the 1970s. Ever since the 1990s, they were made of a thick but flimsy cardboard, and cost $25.
My 83-year-old mother uses her Ouija board at least once a month. She carefully wraps it in plastic, then foil. Then she puts a 9x13 cake on it...usually pineapple upside down cake. I'm 50 and she has been doing this for as long as I can remember. She has never used it for anything else.
I had always heard the name came from French and German for "yes" - Oui and Ja. I think most of the blame for the modern supernatural connection to the Ouija comes from the 1973 The Exorcist. The Blair character contacts the demon unwittingly using a Ouija board. Before that, in the 60's, this was a popular gift. My sisters got one for Christmas. It had no supernatural connotation. You simply asked it things like "Who is going to ask me to the prom?"
What's weird is when my whole family played with friends, we'd ask questions that only one person knew and we had them look down and the board gave us the correct answer every time.. Coincidence? We also asked it who I'd marry and surprisingly, the girl I'm dating has the same name.
20% comments say "used one" 30% comments say "don't use them" 50% comments say "it's fake" despite haven't even touched it or come across a board, while also forgetting they're watching a narrated based video.
My great-great grandmother was a well-known spiritualist and minister (Christianity was inseparable from spiritualism). I grew up hearing about her sermons, seances, trumpets, and yes--a family ouija board. It's a fascinating history, actually.
the Old Testament states not "to suffer a witch to live" ; the board brings in evil; it is wicked and like dungeons and dragons are wicked games; we must trust Jesus Christ and the Bible. Not the tool of the evil one.
+field mouse It has probably been a decade now since I watched a TV show on broadcast TV. If I can't watch it on Netflix, Amazon, or AppleTV when I want, I don't see it.
Ouija boards are so cheesy that I now collect used ones from the thrift store (I figure it’s odds of it actually being possessed is boosted by .01% if it’s old. Plus I’m not paying more than $2 for a piece of cardboard.) The fact that people freak out about them makes me chuckle and smh. I wish mine would actually do something fun for a change.
Back in college we borrowed one from a friend that had some scary back story. We gathered around and when it started moving we all flipped out. Of course I was skeptical and was convinced it was all subconscious. We kept it for a few weeks playing it more and more. The pointer was getting faster and angrier. It would jump off the board. I'd test it out by asking it questions in my head while my roommate had his hand on it and it would answer correctly. We knew something was powerful with this board but to this day I can't explain it. The last time I used it (and the reason I called it quits ) was when I decided to use it alone. I had this tingling sensation come from my fingertips sort of like electric current. It got so strong that I flew back. I ran over to my buddy who was also my neighbor and told him to take his board back. Whether it was all in my head or real spirits I'll never know but it sure makes me question the possibility of afterlife.
Exactly! This guy’s either a real cvck or is just evil. Trying to purposely downplay the dangers of the ouija board only to persuade the ignorant into coming into contact with such a dangerous tool. Because what’s the worst that could happen, right?
"Mrs. John H Curran, of St. Louis..." The news paper couldn't call her by her first name even when they are talking exclusively about her, they had to call her by her husband's name?
Yes indeed - pretty standard practice at the time. If you want to read an article, here's one: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85058396/1915-12-11/ed-1/seq-17/ -Phil
Don't mess around with this stuff. Many bad things happen to people who play this board. I know someone who used to mess around with this board a lot. Now he hears voices and Whispers in the nighttime, hears different people walking up and down his stairs, being woken up constantly in the nighttime because his bed keeps shaking violently. It doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are even if you are an atheist. Stay away from this game!
Mom: Here’s that board thing you wanted. Me: Oh cool! *Later that night* Me: Spirits, who are you? Board: I-T-S-A M-E L-U-I-G-I God dammit mom, this is a Luigi board!
One of the contributing factors to spiritualism was, of all things, gas lights. One gas lamp in a home gave off about as much carbon monoxide as a 1970s automobile. It doesn't just make you sleepy and kill you. It causes sensations like someone touching your leg, seeing movement out of the corner of your eye and that sort of thing.
Remember the saying curiousity killed the cat.. Not saying a ouija board is gonna do that but some things are better left as a curiousity only.. Its in anyones best interest to not dabble in such things especially with no foreknowledge of the spiritual realm.
Don’t try it. Demons are real, and when you contact them with occult objects like this it gives them legal domain to come into your life. I’m speaking from life experience not theory.
When you’re young you pretend it works. When you’re an adult and know the history of it you realize it’s just a sad joke that horror movies play off of because people can’t accept loss by death and want answers so they invent them (see any religion which is just fiction man created to cope with the unexplained parts of life when we were dumber)
If you're interested in learning about the history behind Ouija, this Vox article has you covered: www.vox.com/2015/6/11/8765053/ouija-board-meaning-name
The "ideomotor effect" explanation is naive: the real reason Ouija boards 'work' because one person in the group actively pushes the planchette around, and lies about it to the other players.
> Be me at 15 > Buy Ouija Board for a friend’s birthday party > Try it out > Become freaked out because it’s answering all of our questions correctly > Test it by answering a question only one person would know and walk across the room, such as “What is ___’s father’s middle name?” > “Clifford” is shown (bizarre middle name but is correct) > Throws board in a neighbor’s dumpster
You know that just because you can't measure something it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you can't measure the powers of Ouija board, it doesn't mean they aren't real. Let's remember that we only know 4% of the universe (and not even that is sure).
OK, so you have no evidence something exists, so you are insisting that it exists. That makes sense. Talk to me when you have some actual evidence that the thing you are imagining exists.
@@oscargordon uhm. I don't say it does exist. I said that we should be so sure about its existence for now. Just because we don't have any evidence for its existence it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. From that perspective, you can chose to believe any of the 2. That is if it does or not exist.
+Robin Bucur So what I still here you saying is "There is no evidence that the Ouija board has any powers, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have power". When you hear tall tales of magical things, don't you ever just say "That sounds like bullshit. Why should I believe your tall tale?" or do you just think "Well I guess it COULD be true, so I will now go about my life acting like it is true." How do you keep your brain from being completely filled with rubbish?
@@oscargordon you seem like a person that is really worried about what is true or not. Let me spoil this for you. Life isn't just black and white. It is made from different kinds of greys. You can think whatever you want because humans don't know everything yet. If that were the case we would be immortal and have been already colonized our own galaxy. But we didn't. Also, almost every time humanity thought they knew everything or they were very sure about something, they would soon realise that it wasn't that way from the beginning. Like the earth is flat. We know that it isn't but our ancestors thought it was flat. Or when they thought some worms made cavities appear. That worms were in fact the nerves that showed up when they forcefully extracted the teeth. It is great to base our knowledge on what science shows us is true, but don't become close minded yet. Science has still many to discover. As Nikolas Tesla said: "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."
there is a difference between being open minded, and being so open minded that your brain falls out. the other commenter is right. you are talking nonsense.
It’s really funny my mom (catholic and superstitious) stressed to leave a place if they have a ouija board as much as she does for drugs and alcohol. It is hilarious
The scary thing is that While I was watching this, RUclips stopped responding but the man was still talking and then I closed it but this man was still talking. How?
I don't like how he presents Ouija in a jokey way. I like serious attitude about objects from the past, especially if they have any cultural, religious, or spiritual connections.
Wow I've never heard anyone actually pronounce Ouija the way it's spelled. My eight year old self appreciates this. I'm surprised you didn't mention how ubiquitous these things were. The Ricardos had one on the "I Love Lucy" show. The evil reputation it acquired didn't appear until it's use in the movie "The Exorcist".
When I was in Elementary school some 5th grade children played with a ouija, my class room was in the 1st floor and their class room was in the 2nd floor. We didn't knew that someone was playing with a ouija but I felt that change in the school atmosphere that day something wasn't right.
@@nedisahonkey that also implies that God doesn't exist, but if you believe that, then you are believing we got here by a lucky chance of mutations, which cannot be scientifically proven because you cannot observe millions/billions of years
I tried using a ouija board once. It spelled out Dio. For some reason my t.v turned on and so no chino sadame started playing. As I went to turn it off, I heard the words, “ZA WARUDO!” And I was instantly back at the board. Now every time I say my friend jojo’s name, I hear a loud “WRRYYYYYYYY” Send help pls
I don't think I would be so flippant in describing the validity of spirit boards. The spirit board is thought to have arisen around 1100 BCE in China. The Quija board is just a recent iteration of an ancient device.

My great-great grandmother was a well-known spiritualist and minister (Christianity was inseparable from spiritualism). I grew up hearing about her sermons, seances, trumpets, and yes--a family ouija board. It's a fascinating history, actually.
the Old Testament states not "to suffer a witch to live" ; the board brings in evil; it is wicked and like dungeons and dragons are wicked games; we must trust Jesus Christ and the Bible. Not the tool of the evil one.
Ouija is just a toy, and so is D&D.
Always remember to wipe off your windshield with a Squeegee Board.
why there’s no season 2 of “Freaks and Geeks”?
There is, in our hearts
Internal fight and pointless.
It got cancelled after eighteen episodes.
+field mouse It has probably been a decade now since I watched a TV show on broadcast TV. If I can't watch it on Netflix, Amazon, or AppleTV when I want, I don't see it.
In Islam they say NEVER play ouija board because it's portal through you and the unseen world
I don’t care if it’s fake, I still don’t mess with spirits or demons.
Ouija boards are so cheesy that I now collect used ones from the thrift store (I figure it’s odds of it actually being possessed is boosted by .01% if it’s old. Plus I’m not paying more than $2 for a piece of cardboard.) The fact that people freak out about them makes me chuckle and smh. I wish mine would actually do something fun for a change.
Seaweed Witch You can actually just make your own using paper. That might even give you some kind of results.
Yea, being haunted by an evil spirit is “fun”
Gerardo Gonzalez lol
Play one and see.
Mac Ben Uh I have many times. Still cardboard.
Say what you will, I don’t mess with that period.
Dangerous board. Stay away, you will regret it. Nothing to play with. Not a game. You have been warned
Rhena Chase truth
So true... I would love to put all them fools in a house with that board and see how they react then
its not real buddy
Back in college we borrowed one from a friend that had some scary back story. We gathered around and when it started moving we all flipped out. Of course I was skeptical and was convinced it was all subconscious. We kept it for a few weeks playing it more and more. The pointer was getting faster and angrier. It would jump off the board. I'd test it out by asking it questions in my head while my roommate had his hand on it and it would answer correctly. We knew something was powerful with this board but to this day I can't explain it. The last time I used it (and the reason I called it quits ) was when I decided to use it alone. I had this tingling sensation come from my fingertips sort of like electric current. It got so strong that I flew back. I ran over to my buddy who was also my neighbor and told him to take his board back. Whether it was all in my head or real spirits I'll never know but it sure makes me question the possibility of afterlife.
I don’t think it’s over rated your choice not to believe it. Since it’s so overrated why don’t you play it at 3 am?
Exactly! This guy’s either a real cvck or is just evil. Trying to purposely downplay the dangers of the ouija board only to persuade the ignorant into coming into contact with such a dangerous tool. Because what’s the worst that could happen, right?
I like the way of Vox did a lot of research and homework. Keep it up with the fantastic work.
"Mrs. John H Curran, of St. Louis..." The news paper couldn't call her by her first name even when they are talking exclusively about her, they had to call her by her husband's name?
Yes indeed - pretty standard practice at the time. If you want to read an article, here's one: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85058396/1915-12-11/ed-1/seq-17/

"subconscious movement"??? I didn't know we had telepathic powers
You should have looked up "subconscious" if you're too ignorant to know what it means.
Don't mess around with this stuff. Many bad things happen to people who play this board.
I know someone who used to mess around with this board a lot. Now he hears voices and Whispers in the nighttime, hears different people walking up and down his stairs, being woken up constantly in the nighttime because his bed keeps shaking violently.
It doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are even if you are an atheist. Stay away from this game!

the ouija board must alphabets in qwerty order
Nah, make it in Dvorak, that will confuse everyone except those who use Dvorak keyboards.
i musn't use proper grammar, that too hard
We Americans love packaged hoaxes.
I remember the man that got the lottery number from quija, won millions, I also saw a friend get knock out playing the game from unseen force
Mom: Here’s that board thing you wanted.
Me: Oh cool!
*Later that night*
Me: Spirits, who are you?
Board: I-T-S-A M-E L-U-I-G-I
God dammit mom, this is a Luigi board!
"Would you like to be my friend?"
*GOODBYE*
Don't mess with a Ouija board
Why?
videoghost. The Bible says it all. ITS NOT A GAME !!!!!!!!
@@donjon2023 Which scripture mentions Ouija boards?
videoghost because it is more powerful than you think . Black magic. research it
videoghost. Deuteronomy... I think chapter 10.
You know hearing this story actually make me feel better because last week me and my comrade play ouija at abandoned house.
The moral of the story is Americans (and to a larger extent westerners) will buy anything as long as it's well marketed to them.
divination devices have been since humans.
If you can sell the absence of something, its not just Americans.

'' Ouija board movies are bad''
Jumanji: Am I a joke to you?
One of the contributing factors to spiritualism was, of all things, gas lights. One gas lamp in a home gave off about as much carbon monoxide as a 1970s automobile. It doesn't just make you sleepy and kill you. It causes sensations like someone touching your leg, seeing movement out of the corner of your eye and that sort of thing.
Once, I wanted to call someone that I call rarely, I didn't know the number to call but my fingers knew the dance.
"The spirits pointed to profit" - 😂😂😂
Thank you for this historical essay, really fun to watch!
I'm so curious about the ouija board, but I don't want to risk myself.
I wouldn't go for it, the demons/spirits can attach to you.
I say No.
Remember the saying curiousity killed the cat.. Not saying a ouija board is gonna do that but some things are better left as a curiousity only.. Its in anyones best interest to not dabble in such things especially with no foreknowledge of the spiritual realm.
O K Yeah, because demons totally exist and we totally have proof other than a book that says the earth is flat.
Don’t try it. Demons are real, and when you contact them with occult objects like this it gives them legal domain to come into your life. I’m speaking from life experience not theory.
The name Ouija reminds me of OUYA and I feel cringy..
OUYA lol
When I was little my dad claimed a soul attached to each ouija as it was made... ah the power of glue. Makes anything stick
I like how he said it’s fake and didn’t even try it
For anyone who even THINKS about believing in Ouija boards try operating the thing with your eyes closed... gibberish.
When you’re young you pretend it works. When you’re an adult and know the history of it you realize it’s just a sad joke that horror movies play off of because people can’t accept loss by death and want answers so they invent them (see any religion which is just fiction man created to cope with the unexplained parts of life when we were dumber)

Adam C really Amazon wow get out of here kid
*_L E G G O MY E G G O!_*
Vox maybe ouija is juste « yes » in french and geman Oui , Ja
The "ideomotor effect" explanation is naive: the real reason Ouija boards 'work' because one person in the group actively pushes the planchette around, and lies about it to the other players.
the Ouija board told to me to say *ARTILLERY ONLY OH YEAH YEAH*
Patron LaGarza has spoken
Lorenzo Garza oh yeah yeah
> Be me at 15
> Buy Ouija Board for a friend’s birthday party
> Try it out
> Become freaked out because it’s answering all of our questions correctly
> Test it by answering a question only one person would know and walk across the room, such as “What is ___’s father’s middle name?”
> “Clifford” is shown (bizarre middle name but is correct)
> Throws board in a neighbor’s dumpster
We in india literally have a story based on Ouija Board in our English text-book and that's how we came to know about it!
“I’ve come to play smash”
“Ahhh So you need a Waluigi Board”
“He’s not in the gam..”
“Shhh Hes coming soon”
Ouija boards are famous because people are eager to embrace superstition.
You know that just because you can't measure something it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you can't measure the powers of Ouija board, it doesn't mean they aren't real. Let's remember that we only know 4% of the universe (and not even that is sure).
OK, so you have no evidence something exists, so you are insisting that it exists. That makes sense. Talk to me when you have some actual evidence that the thing you are imagining exists.
@@oscargordon uhm. I don't say it does exist. I said that we should be so sure about its existence for now. Just because we don't have any evidence for its existence it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. From that perspective, you can chose to believe any of the 2. That is if it does or not exist.
+Robin Bucur So what I still here you saying is "There is no evidence that the Ouija board has any powers, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have power". When you hear tall tales of magical things, don't you ever just say "That sounds like bullshit. Why should I believe your tall tale?" or do you just think "Well I guess it COULD be true, so I will now go about my life acting like it is true." How do you keep your brain from being completely filled with rubbish?
@@oscargordon you seem like a person that is really worried about what is true or not. Let me spoil this for you. Life isn't just black and white. It is made from different kinds of greys. You can think whatever you want because humans don't know everything yet. If that were the case we would be immortal and have been already colonized our own galaxy. But we didn't. Also, almost every time humanity thought they knew everything or they were very sure about something, they would soon realise that it wasn't that way from the beginning. Like the earth is flat. We know that it isn't but our ancestors thought it was flat. Or when they thought some worms made cavities appear. That worms were in fact the nerves that showed up when they forcefully extracted the teeth. It is great to base our knowledge on what science shows us is true, but don't become close minded yet. Science has still many to discover. As Nikolas Tesla said: "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."
there is a difference between being open minded, and being so open minded that your brain falls out. the other commenter is right. you are talking nonsense.
It’s really funny my mom (catholic and superstitious) stressed to leave a place if they have a ouija board as much as she does for drugs and alcohol. It is hilarious
I will try that to get rid of visitors. Thank you!

In Mexico we talk to "Brujos" to talk to spirits!!!
OK, how do you translate "Brujos", marijuana?
this reminds me of bruhas in my country. By any chance, does it mean witch?
The scary thing is that
While I was watching this, RUclips stopped responding but the man was still talking and then I closed it but this man was still talking.
How?
I don't like how he presents Ouija in a jokey way. I like serious attitude about objects from the past, especially if they have any cultural, religious, or spiritual connections.
Wow I've never heard anyone actually pronounce Ouija the way it's spelled. My eight year old self appreciates this.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how ubiquitous these things were. The Ricardos had one on the "I Love Lucy" show. The evil reputation it acquired didn't appear until it's use in the movie "The Exorcist".
When I was in Elementary school some 5th grade children played with a ouija, my class room was in the 1st floor and their class room was in the 2nd floor. We didn't knew that someone was playing with a ouija but I felt that change in the school atmosphere that day something wasn't right.
BECAUSE ITS ILLUMINATI
The board is fake and a toy, what uses it as an instrument is not.
Nope. There is literally zero proof of whatever demons, ghosts or other supernatural nonsense you're referring to.
@@nedisahonkey um, that's kinda the whole meaning behind something called faith - believing in what cannot be proven
Ned Gold there might not be concrete proof but I doubt every person who has a story is lying...who knows what lays out there
@@wrosebrock That's called magical thinking and it's foolish.
@@nedisahonkey that also implies that God doesn't exist, but if you believe that, then you are believing we got here by a lucky chance of mutations, which cannot be scientifically proven because you cannot observe millions/billions of years
I tried using a ouija board once.
It spelled out Dio.
For some reason my t.v turned on and so no chino sadame started playing.
As I went to turn it off, I heard the words, “ZA WARUDO!” And I was instantly back at the board.
Now every time I say my friend jojo’s name, I hear a loud “WRRYYYYYYYY”
Send help pls
DID YOU TAKE MY CHEEZE?
BOARD: YES
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I always heard it as "wee-jee" here in the south
better than the ouya
Funneh!
Deadass
Next episode of overrated should be on kpop
The one thing I learned from this video, I'm wasting my time.
I don't think I would be so flippant in describing the validity of spirit boards. The spirit board is thought to have arisen around 1100 BCE in China. The Quija board is just a recent iteration of an ancient device.
