Ouija Boards: What is the origin story of "Zozo"?

Recently I've been quite curious about ouija boards and I've been told my entire life that using one was a very bad idea. I've heard lots of stories about why not to use it and, on the internet, the pattern of this character "Zozo" is emerging. What's the origin story of this "demon"?

I believe in ghosts and paranormal in general.

Thank you in advance!

Update:

I most likely won't use it I'm just asking where this "Zozo" thing started. I'm not debating whether they work or not.

    First the Ouija Board is in fact a portal

    Second, The Ouija board is not evil by default, its the energy you fuel into it that determines the spirit, evil Senses negative emotions and is called by it, Good spirits Sense Positive emotions and are called by that, (the Ouija board being only evil is a Monotheist ideal.)

    "Zozo" is not a Demon at all. Zozo is nothing more then a Thought Form, basically something made from the minds of man, given "energy" and "life"

    Source(s): personal knowledge about the Field of the occult, and Ouija
  • There was an obscure film named 'Zozo' which was released back in 2005. There was a scene in that film that involved kids playing with ouija boards. I'm guessing that's where the inspiration came from. You won't find 'Zozo' mentioned anywhere before 2005. Someone has taken a fictional concept and attempted to make it real, as is so often the case with anything mythological.
