For more than a century, simple divination devices called "talking boards" have captivated millions of people curious about contacting the spirit world. The most famous is the Ouija, whose trademarked name has become synonymous with all boards. Ouija messages have inspired writers, artists, and musicians, and have played a part in murder, suicide, possession, treasure hunting, marriage, divorce and bizarre behavior. Authors Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Rick Fisher provide a detailed examination of the Ouija. They debunk myths and discuss how horror films have influenced popular opinion.Ouija Gone Wild features dozens of true stories collected over decades, many told in print for the first time, including tales of unexpected terror: "I glanced over at the heat vent and what I saw scared me so much I dove off of the chair and refused to touch this 'so called game' again. I saw two red eyes staring back at me through the grates...""Suddenly I was sucker punched in my stomach. The force of the blow made me slam face-forward onto the table. Clutching my stomach, I took my hand off the planchette...""For a split second, I thought I was going to die. It was the complete absence of everything, as though good and light and life got sucked right out of the room..."Once you start, you will not be able to put it down
