Ouija Isn’t Just a Silly Game—and It’s Making a Comeback This Christmas

“Spirit” board named number five top trending gift on Google.

What was a fad during late 60s and early 70s has come around again and is being scarfed up by a new generation of unwitting young people. It was escalated by the October 24, 2014 release of the film, “Ouija,” which, with a gross of $20 million its opening weekend, was a box office winner.The film, labeled a “supernatural fantasy,” is about the circumstances of a girl’s death. She’d been mysteriously killed after recording herself playing with an ancient Ouija Board. The story continues with her friends’ investigation of the board, and the horrors that ensued.

This Christmas, Ouija is on the minds of innocent young people, but not the movie. It’s the Ouija Board, and it’s got those in the know more than alarmed. It’s got them terrified.

According to a Google report, the Ouija Board is number five in the Top Trending Toys on Google. Google also reported that online searches for the “board game” are up 300 per cent since the film’s release.

The irony is that the Ouija Board is lined up with other toys like American Girl, My Little Pony, Paw Patrol, Lego Friends, Peppa Pig, Shopkins, Nerf Guns, and Zoomer Dino. All of the other contenders for top Christmas toy of the 2014 season are innocent, and aimed at a very young audience. To see Ouija Board listed right along the side of them – or, rather, right in the middle of them – should make us terrified, too.

The Ouija Board isn’t a silly game or a innocent toy; it’s a dangerous instrument of the occult.
