【Silip】

Light as a feather,Silip stiff as a board. And measuring 3,168 square feet, the world's largest Ouija board has arrived just in time for Halloween.

The record-breaking talking board — known officially as "Ouijazilla" — made its debut in Salem, Massachusetts on Saturday to a crowd of adoring ghouls eager to explore its powers.

Advertised as "the length of a brontosaurus," "heavy as an elephant," and "large enough to park five full-size eighteen-wheelers on," Ouijazilla caught the attention of tourists, hobbyists, and an unsuspecting bridal party in the historic Salem Common at an official unveiling ceremony.

Weighing over 9,000 pounds, Ouijazilla was constructed out of 99 sheets of plywood and 20 gallons of wood stain, and is accompanied by a roughly 400-pound planchette and enormous pencil.

The board's hand-painted design mirrors the iconic Parker Brother’s glow-in-the-dark Ouija board, with some added Ouijazilla flair along its borders. Despite its size, Ouijazilla is fully functional. The planchette can be maneuvered across the board's surface by just one user, or a large group — making gigantic summoning a ready reality.

According to Ripley's Believe It or Not, Ouijazilla trumps the previous talking board record, held by the Grand Midway Hotel in Windber, Pennsylvania, by some margin. That board, painted on the hotel's roof and officially measured by Guinness World Records in 2016, is a little over 1,302 square feet — less than half the size of Ouijazilla.

The massive board is the brainchild of Rick "Ormortis" Schreck, vice president of the Talking Board Historical Society and a New Jersey-based tattoo artist. According to Ripley's, Schreck got his start in the talking board community as a collector, but later aspired to add to the long tradition of board-making. Schreck has been constructing Ouijazilla since June 2018, but the Salem unveiling marked the final push for the board's assembly.

Schreck, his family and friends, and a gaggle of volunteers came together to help Ouijazilla make the treacherous journey from Schreck's hometown in Jersey to The Witch City by disassembling and then reassembling the massive framework.

Once there, the group worked tirelessly through rain and cold to put Ouijazilla together for its debut appearance. (Schreck has documented much of that process on his Instagram.)

No word yet on what, if anything, Ouijazilla managed to conjure, but keep your eyes peeled for any super-sized paranormal activity — and these spectacularly spooky wedding photos.
