The Mars Volta's album "Bedlam in Goliath" was based on the band's experiences with a Ouija board. According to the band "Omar Rodriguez Lopez purchased a Ouija board while traveling in Jerusalem. At first the board provided a story which became the theme for the album. Strange events allegedly related to this activity occurred during the recording of the album: the studio flooded, one of the album's main engineers had a nervous breakdown, equipment began to malfunction, and Cedric Bixler-Zavala's foot was injured. Following these bad experiences the band buried the Ouija board." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bedlam_in_Goliath)
