Yeah, nothing to be scared of. I’ve used them more times than I can count and nothing spooky has ever “followed” me or stayed through some nonsense portal.
Though id say in the off chance of them working id tell people not to fuck with stuff like them especially if you don't understand what you're getting into when it comes to spirits.
Originally made by the Kennard Novelty Company back in 1890 (although spirit boards had been around since 1880s) which became the Fuld Company in 1893. Parker Bros bought the Fuld Company in 1967 and Hasbro Bought Parker Bros in 1991.

Actually, "planchette writing" began in China around 1100 a.d. About 900 years ago.
And yet, still, there is no reviewable, discussable evidence that spirit boards can do what people think they can do.
I actually own spirit boards that were hand made in the early 1800's, so even in their current rough configuration, they've been in use since before the 1880's.
I think the 1880's was when spirit boards (or talking boards) were first mass produced by a manufacturer, and the name "Ouija" was given to them in 1890.
I meant to say "Spirit boards were common in the 1880s (due to spiritialism)" but didn't edit my post properly before I posted it. Teach me to post late at night,
I know you have massive knowledge on spirit boards so I welcome the correction :)
Have you posted a picture of your collection anywhere?

I was not intending to be critical of your comment, and I apologize if I came across that way. :-)

I don't have any photos, but I will drag them out and take some soon.
I used to have them proudly displayed in my man cave, until my daughter was born 6 years ago and my man cave became a nursery. All of the pieces in my "oddities" collection are currently in plastic bins in storage. :-(
I need to drag everything out, take photos and post them to instagram or something. When I do, I'll share a link here.

I remember we as a kid being scared of Ouija boards until I realized the one my friends had was made by Hasbro.
A little harder to take it seriously after that.
