History of the Ouija Boards by Emily Fry-Sheehan.

For our teaser trailer we came up with the idea of centering the main story around a Ouija Board, as a horror movie has never before been completely based around that idea.
The Ouija Board, also known as the spirit keyboard or the talking board, is a flat board with letters, numbers and the words "yes", "no", "hello" and "goodbye" on it. It is said that with a Ouija Board, the players can contact the spirits of the dead, and they can give you messages, names and answer your questions. With the board, you can a heart-shaped flat piece of wood called a planchette, which moves around the board and stops for a short moment over the letter, number or word the spirit wants you to see. To play the ouija board, all players have to place their hands on the planchette which is placed on the board, and ask out loud, if there are any spirits please contact us now, or something along those lines. It is then said that the planchette will start to move around the board by an extra-normal force. However, some people say that the planchette only moves because the people playing are all pushing it without knowing, and that creates movement as they are all pushing against each other.
