The Ouija Board: Who’s Moving the Planchette?

Few objects have a reputation quite like the Ouija board. What began during the rise of Spiritualism eventually became a popular parlor game—and, thanks in part to Hollywood, one of the most feared objects in the supernatural world.But what actually makes the planchette move? Is it unconscious muscle movement, the ideomotor effect… or could something else be answering when we ask, “Is anyone there?”In this Woo File, we explore the strange history of the Ouija board, the science behind how it may work, and why this simple board continues to fascinate—and unsettle—people more than a century later.#OuijaBoard #TheWooFiles #Paranormal #Spiritualism #SpiritCommunication #AreYouPsychicToo
