While this might be the most modern case to revolve around the Ouija board, it's not the first. In 1933, a 15-year-old girl from San Diego, CA, named Mattie Turley shot her father to death, claiming that the Ouija board told her to do it.
They filed the first patent for a game they called the Ouija board, which looked and operated much like the talking boards in Ohio; the patent was granted in 1891. The name, according to Kennard, came from using the board, and was an ancient Egyptian word meaning âgood luck.â The Kennard Novelty Company manufactured the boards, which were made of five pieces of wood across the face braced by two vertical slats on the back; they retailed for $1.50.
