Ouija-Board-Inventor

Elijah Jefferson Bond was a lawyer and an inventor (aren’t those two always associated?) He invented many things, but was best known for the patent of the Ouija Board May 28, 1890. ~ Video

 

To learn more about Elijah Bond’s life and his Kennard Novelty Company… here.

The
Ouija board has been utilized in a ridiculous amount of horror movies
and just some of them are; The Uninvited, Thirteen Ghosts, The Exorcist,
Awakenings, What Lies Beneath, Paranormal Activity, Amityville 3-D,
Witchboard, and Only You.

In 1966, his estate sold his company
and its games to Parker Brothers. which was sold to Hasbro and hence the
Ouija spirit boards we know today.

In the Green Mount Cemetery
in Maryland, Elijah Bond was laid to rest with a Ouija Headstone. If
they had laid it flat instead, one might have been able to converse with
him…
