spirit board
Paranormal communication device
A spirit board is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and words like "yes" and "no," used in séances to supposedly communicate with the dead.
Participants rest their fingers on a pointer (planchette) that moves across the board to spell out messages.
Ouija is the most famous brand name, often used generically for any spirit board.
