To many these mysitcal talking boards are the highlights at sleepovers and camping trips, but to hunters and the ones who use them correctly, they are ways of communicating with the otehr side. The board itself was already being introduced as a "Witchboard" as early as 540 B.C but the board has modernized over time, but always kept the same basic figures. It is a flat surface that has the enitre alphabet (whether it be in a decorative pattern or in a straight line) and the numbers 0-9. As well as they normally include the words "yes", "no" and "good bye". Using a triangular piece in the center of the board, the user places his or her fingers on it. It is said that the spirit or spirits will place their own hands on the other side of the piece and guide the plachette to where they want it to go on the board, either spelling out a number or name or answering a yes or no question
