ouija boards
Definition
- The Ouija board is a Parker Brothers product that has been sold since 1901 (Parker Brothers bought the product and all associated intellectual property in 1966 from the estate of inventor William Fuld). The name is meant to be pronounced “wee-jah” but is more commonly pronounced “wee-gee.” The Ouija is the most famous example of a spirit board, an instrument that has been around for thousands of years, repopularized in the late 19th century with the spiritualism fad.
