Surfing the web I found out that Toys' "R" Us is selling the Ouija Board for kids. They consider it as a board game, and the suggested age is for kids from 8-12 years.
Believer or not, I think this is freaky. Kids should not be playing with this artifact.
The Ouija board is also called Spirit board, and consist of a board with the alphabet, a small piece, generally of wood in heart shape with a hole in the middle called planchette. It works as an indicator. The board helps spirits communicate with us, some sort of a portal.
The person asks the question to the board, and places the fingers slightly on the planchette, and then the spirits answer the question spelling it word by word moving the planchette without the persons interaction.
This is the history of the Ouija board.
This website explains the rules of the game.
For a skeptical explanation go to the Skeptics Dictionary.
Real or Not, I think this is something we should not be playing with.
