Google has recorded a 300% increase in searches for Ouija boards, most likely based on a horror film that came out in October based on the use of the boards. The toy company Hasbro went into partnership with the film company, Universal, and released a glow-in-the-dark Ouija board to accompany the movie release.

We want to know if you’ve ever used a Ouija board. Did you push the glass and scare your friends? Were you genuinely fearful about the board “speaking”? Did you swear that nobody was manipulating the game? Tell us about your experiences with the Ouija board – something that has become a rite of passage for bored teenagers around the world.
