Mention the use of a Ouija board to a paranormal research group these days and you'll get a lot of head shaking and statements about "opening portals" and "demonic entities." Even though many shake their heads at the meer mention of the device, some still hold strong that the Ouija is the proper tool for instrumental transcommunication.
Instrumental transcommunication is communication from the dead via a device designed for such communication. In theory, devices designed for transcommunication allows for conversation across dimensions. Many users of such devices say that they are harmless as long as the user is skilled and strong willed.
Ghost Hunters of the South is one of the few groups that do not use ouija boards, but of course we do have a fascination with them because of what they do. We feel that researching talking boards and devices of the same ilk are important.
