That particular Talking Board is from 1941 (I collect old games), but I don't have the original pointer. the popular Oujia board design that most are familiar with started being produced in 1946.

The pointer is modern and glow in the dark, and I have better shots of it, in focus at beginning and end, but the green took away from the atmosphere and I dropped it. I will put it in outtakes later.

Pretty good trick, showing the movement but without any visible cause for the movement.

Is this trick photography? Yes.

I am not sure of the question here but I guess you have the answer. The noise/smoke around the candles detracts a little. Maybe try candles where you can see the flames?

Answer: Yes
Question: Did that move all by itself?

Nice lighting and use of near-black background.

Q: Does the Ouija Board ever lie?
A: Dude, it's pressed fiberboard and a plastic thing-a-ma-bobber. The real question is...how stupid is it to pay $19.99 for the game?

I'm having too much fun answering these!

Good effect, but would prefer one of the pointers to be solid. having the trail is nice, but it's not a ghost pointer, it's a pointer to channel a ghost.
still, looks like an antique board, from the 60's/70's?
