Parker Brother's box cover

Universal Studios is creating a supernatural action-adventure movie based off the spirit-summoning Ouija board, tentatively called ‘Ouija’. The movie studio has even hired some big names to ensure the script is put together properly.

All we heard is that Tron Legacy and Lost writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz will write the script to the movie.

Hopefully they won’t ruin it and make it a stupid run-of-the-mill Hollywood flick.

A Ouija board, also known as spirit board or talking board is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and other symbols, theoretically used to communicate with spirits. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit’s message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out messages. Ouija is a trademark for a talking board currently sold by Parker Brothers. It has become a trademark that is often used generically to refer to any talking board.

Although ouija boards are viewed by some to be a simple toy, there are people who believe they can be harmful.

Some practitioners claim to have had bad experiences related to the use of talking boards by being haunted by “demons,” seeing apparitions of spirits, and hearing voices after using them. A few paranormal researchers, such as John Zaffis, claim that the majority of the worst cases of so-called demon harassment and possession are caused by the use of Ouija boards.

The American demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren stated that “Ouija boards are just as dangerous as drugs.” They further state that “séances and Ouija boards and other occult paraphernalia are dangerous because ‘evil spirits’ often disguise themselves as your loved ones—and take over your life.”

Many Christians hold the belief that using a Ouija board allows communication with demons, which they say is Biblically forbidden as a form of divination. Some people who claim to have been oppressed by evil spirits after using a board say that they could only get rid of these problems after Christian deliverance. Many Christians believe that no dead person’s soul can be summoned, and that the only summoned spirits are demons who are trying to harm humans. (Source-Wikipedia)
