OThe Ouija board was invented by Elijah Bond. He applied for a patent in 1890 and made the board in Baltimore. Bond is buried in Baltimore’s Green Mount Cemetery. His grave was not marked until 2008. The marker shows a Ouija board on the backside.

You pass a lot of history when you take transit around Baltimore, but a lot of it is hidden, like a ghost. Consider the 7-11 store at 529 N. Charles Street. Just inside the entrance is a marker noting that the Ouija board received its name at this location in 1890… #MDOTmoves pic.twitter.com/e6uGU5J9PU

This building at Charles and Center is kinda famous because the Ouija board got its name upstairs during a meeting with inventor Charles Kennard and medium Helen Peters. To me, it will always known as the former home of The Buttery. pic.twitter.com/vIBKHLRZXS
