after that....
....in 1966, Fuld's children sold the Ouija board to Parker Brothers, a game company that continued to market the board as a parlor game. Some people still feel it is better left alone. Religious groups complain that playing with the board comes dangerously close to Satanism. Professional psychics worry that the board may unleash evil spirits. Some psychologists express concern that use of the board may further disturb a mentally unbalanced person. Nevertheless, Ouija board use continues to enchant mystics and enliven parties with its promise of access to the forbidden territory of the dead.

Histoty  

The first Ouija board was invented in 1890 by toy manufacturer Charles Kennard, who named it for a word the board had told him meant "good luck" in Egyptian. In fact, "ouija" does not mean anything in Arabic, the language spoken in Egypt. When Kennard sold the patent to William Fuld in 1892, Fuld explained the name by saying it was a combination of the French and German words for "yes," oui and ja. The Ouija board was sold in novelty stores and toy shops, competing with other talking boards with names like "The Wireless Messenger" and "Mystic Tray."
