Family Takes Ouija Board to Graveyard to Chat With Dad and They Think They Got a Real Message From Him

Grief is a perpetual feeling of loss, missing someone who is gone forever is a problem without a remedy and everybody develops their own coping mechanisms to find their way through it. One family decided to lean into it by brining a ouija board to their father’s grave and trying to have even just one more conversation with the man they miss so much.

1. Ouija boards have endured instant and long-term success for being something anybody can use to try and connect with the spirits of the deceased or creatures from an otherworldly realm. They first boomed in popularity during the Civil War, as many families were desperate to speak with soldiers who had died in battle, but have continued into modern pop-culture as a teen girl sleepover staple for summoning spirits.

Commenters worry about the same thing the daughter questions – what if they accidentally summon the wrong ghost spirit? Unfortunately, that does seem to always be a risk when summoning any spirits. Hey, if I was undead and roaming the earth as a ghostly specter I’d probably be pretty excited for the rare opportunity to converse with some mortals!
