THE TALKING BOARD

A door made
from letters.

A board. An alphabet. YES. NO. GOODBYE. That is all it needs.

Why does the planchette move?

Talking boards became a mass fascination during the nineteenth-century Spiritualist movement. Some people see spirit contact; psychologists point to the ideomotor effect — tiny unconscious movements made by the participants themselves. The argument has never killed the atmosphere.

Why must you say GOODBYE?

Every ritual needs an ending. GOODBYE is the board’s traditional way of closing the session. On this site it is part of the experience: finish the séance deliberately. Do not simply abandon an answer halfway through.

Is the online board real?

The messages here are generated as supernatural entertainment. They are not evidence of contact and must never replace medical, legal, financial or personal judgement. The fear, however, is yours.
