My father would later advise he also heard the sound, but evidently neither of us was concerned enough to go and investigate. We didn’t have any pets, and we kept the doors locked. Sometime after our ritual destruction of Ouija, I was awoken in the middle of the night by a loud popping sound from downstairs. We lived in a 2-story home, bedrooms on the second floor. Nothing unusual occurred around this time, nothing that suggested a malevolent conjuration as a result of our Ouija experiments, except for one incident. Thinking back now, I realize we were impressionable kids – sans Internet, no electronics, and only 5 channels on television. Eventually there came a time when we managed to spook ourselves enough that we ceremoniously burned the planchette and destroyed the Board. We kept it hidden from our parents and took turns querying the spirit world surreptitiously, whenever the coast was clear. I recall as a 12 year-old, my neighbourhood pals and I experimenting with a Ouija Board. The unexpected appearance of my old Ouija Board last week sent my mind on a stroll down Penny Lane. My million dollar idea was called ‘Séance’, and although I was committed at the outset, I eventually abandoned the project due to competing interests, and sheer laziness on my part.
In the early 90’s I even began working on a board game prototype, occult themed (inspired by the highly successful Canadian phenomenon– Trivial Pursuit). I spent time researching the paranormal – hauntings, spiritualism, possession, and still have a library of material on the topic. My writing, as early as I can remember, often focused on other-worldly matters, and to this day, I still gravitate to that genre. I’ve always had a fascination with the occult. I can’t recall when I acquired the Board, it’s not seen daylight in twenty years, but it brought back memories, and more importantly, a topic for this week’s blog.
The idea came to me after discovering my old Parker Brothers Ouija Board game (not pink) while searching for my long lost shaker of salt. Okay, I added the last line, but you get the picture. The board comes with 72 “fun questions” to ask, including: “Who will call/text me next? Will I be a famous actor someday? Who wishes they could trade places with me? Who is Beelzebub and why is he here?” And now the OUIJA Board is just for you, girl. The game sold at Toys r Us and featured the following tagline: In 2008 Parker Brothers and Hasbro teamed up to release the all pink version of the classic parlour game ‘Ouija’ aimed at girls, ages 8 and up. needs ‘My Little Pony’ when your little one can have her very own pink-themed Ouija Board.
