This tablet, called a planchette, was affixed with a pencil that would write out messages in a fashion similar to automatic writing.
During the late 1800s, planchettes were widely sold as a novelty.
In 1890, businessmen Elijah Bond and Charles Kennard had the idea to patent a planchette sold with a board on which the alphabet was printed, and thus had invented the first Ouija board.
