Here's a question for everybody: Are Ouija boards a harmless toy or an instrument of extreme horror that you should never, ever play with? You might be surprised to learn that Google predicted the modern version of the Victorian-era "spirit boards" would be a sellout this Christmas.

I’ll tell you exactly which side I’m on: It is not a toy. I believe this is one of the most terrifying things ever, and I totally think that playing with it can open some sort of doorway to the spirit world. You know, there’s a Chinese saying that goes: "It’s easy to invite a spirit, but making it leave is difficult."
