Looking to elevate your next gentlemanly gathering from average to “things that go bump in the night”? The Vile Eight Solid Wood Ouija Board (£90) is here to raise spirits—and eyebrows. Handcrafted from 2.5cm-thick hardwood, this 50cm x 30cm marvel offers a premium surface for summoning questionable dinner-party conversation. Painted and engraved for added panache, it includes a polished wooden planchette with a glass lens that glides like a ghost across your conversation piece. In a nod to Elijah Bond’s 1891 design, you’ll find a full alphabet, numbers, plus the classic “YES” and “NO” ready to deliver answers of dubious credibility. And while modern cardboard imitations might suffice for a spooktacular teen sleepover, real connoisseurs prefer something that exudes Victorian gravitas. Whether you’re genuinely seeking guidance from beyond or just an excuse to serve that extra round of brandy, this handcrafted masterpiece ensures your gatherings will be anything but dead.
