Elijah Bond's Ouija Board Grave

Baltimore, MD

Elijah Bond patented the talking board that would become the Ouija board in 1891. His grave in Green Mount Cemetery was unmarked for decades until researchers installed a new headstone in 2008 with a full Ouija board carved into its reverse side; visit only during cemetery hours.
