Question 1 of 15
1. This spectral visitor contacts us by spelling out Q-U-E-E-N. Further questioning reveals that he died in 1991 and was the singer-songwriter behind such hits as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love" and "We Are the Champions." Who is this deceased rock star? Hint


Question 2 of 15
2. I-M-A-G-I-N-E is spelled out by this spirit. We also figure out that he was on television many times, most famously on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964. The number four is important, and he was violently killed in 1980. Who is contacting us? Hint


Question 3 of 15
3. This spirit introduces himself as B-O-N-Z-O on the Ouija board. That's a big enough clue to know that he's the drummer for Led Zeppelin, which ended with his accidental death in 1980. Who is it? Hint


Question 4 of 15
4. The planchette moves and spells out N-I-R-V-A-N-A. The spirit reveals that he died in 1994 and asks us about his daughter Frances Bean. Who is it? Hint


Question 5 of 15
5. A spirit spells out I-N-X-S on the Ouija board, which doesn't look like a word but is the name of an Australian band that formed in 1977. The spirit must be the band's first lead singer, who died in 1997. Who is it? Hint


Question 6 of 15
6. This spirit tells us he is G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L, which causes us some confusion, but we are able to clear it up. Who was considered the leader of the Grateful Dead until his death in 1995? Hint


Question 7 of 15
7. F-U-L-L-T-I-L-T-B-O-O-G-I-E announces the arrival of this visitor, who formed the Full Tilt Boogie Band to tour with her in 1970 before her death from a heroin overdose later that same year. Her most famous song is probably her 1968 cover of "Piece of My Heart." Who is she? Hint


Question 8 of 15
8. This spirit tells us that he is T-H-E-L-I-Z-A-R-D-K-I-N-G, which can only mean he was the lead singer for The Doors. Who is this poet, singer, and rocker who died in 1971? Hint


Question 9 of 15
9. C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E spells out a number one hit for a guitarist killed in 1990, in a helicopter crash after leaving a concert where he performed with Eric Clapton. Who was this "Master of the Stratocaster?"
Hint


Question 10 of 15
10. This spirit does not claim to be a musician but was a member of the punk rock group S-E-X-P-I-S-T-O-L-S. He died in 1979, and a fictional account of his relationship with groupie Nancy Spungen was the subject of a 1986 film. Who was this rocker? Hint


Question 11 of 15
11. P-U-R-P-L-E-H-A-Z-E may be one of this spectre's famous songs, but his "The Star-Spangled Banner" on electric guitar at Woodstock is an iconic performance of the 1960's. Are you experienced enough to recognize this rocker who died in 1970? Hint


Question 12 of 15
12. The planchette moves quickly to spell out R-O-C-K-N-R-O-L-L-H-I-G-H-S-C-H-O-O-L, indicating the punk rock group known for its short songs, such as "I Wanna Be Sedated." Unfortunately many of the band members have passed away, but we're communicating with the lead singer that succumbed to lymphoma in 2001. Who was he?
Hint


Question 13 of 15
13. A-C-D-C marks a visit from another spirit, an "electrifying" singer that fronted this "high voltage" band until his death in 1980. Who is it?

Hint


Question 14 of 15
14. M-O-O-N-U-N-I-T, D-W-E-E-Z-I-L, A-H-M-E-T and D-I-V-A are the unique names this rocker gave his four children. A pioneering, experimental musician who incorporated his anti-establishment viewpoint into most of his songs, he released more than 60 albums as a solo artist or with the band "The Mothers of Invention." Who was this artist? Hint


Question 15 of 15
15. G-R-A-C-E-L-A-N-D should be enough of a clue for you to guess the next spirit to use the Ouija board. Who was the "King of Rock and Roll" who died in 1977? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This spectral visitor contacts us by spelling out Q-U-E-E-N. Further questioning reveals that he died in 1991 and was the singer-songwriter behind such hits as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love" and "We Are the Champions." Who is this deceased rock star?

Answer: Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) was born Farrokh Bulsara and was the lead singer and songwriter for the band Queen. He did not write the song that is parodied in the title of this quiz; "We Will Rock You" was written by Brian May.
2. I-M-A-G-I-N-E is spelled out by this spirit. We also figure out that he was on television many times, most famously on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964. The number four is important, and he was violently killed in 1980. Who is contacting us?

Answer: John Lennon

John Lennon (1940-1980) became famous as a member of The Beatles, a band nicknamed the Fab Four. They appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964 to start what's now called "The British Invasion". "Imagine" (1971) was released during his post-Beatle solo career, and the title track is one of his more famous songs. Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York City apartment on December 8, 1980.
3. This spirit introduces himself as B-O-N-Z-O on the Ouija board. That's a big enough clue to know that he's the drummer for Led Zeppelin, which ended with his accidental death in 1980. Who is it?

Answer: John Bonham

John Bonham (1948-1980) is considered by many to be the best rock and roll drummer of all time. For Led Zeppelin's fourth album (1971), each of the band members chose a symbol to represent themselves. Bonham chose one of three interlocking circles from Rudolf Koch's "Book of Signs," that represents the father, mother and child.

This symbol is also known as the Borromean rings (a mathematical construct) and is used as the logo for the Ballantine Brewery.
4. The planchette moves and spells out N-I-R-V-A-N-A. The spirit reveals that he died in 1994 and asks us about his daughter Frances Bean. Who is it?

Answer: Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) was the lead singer and songwriter for Nirvana, a Seattle grunge band considered by some to symbolize Generation X. The band found success with its second album, "Nevermind" (1991), specifically the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Uncomfortable with fame and suffering from depression and drug addiction, Cobain was found dead on April 8, 1994 from what was officially ruled a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Some people question this ruling, such as Ian Halperin and Max Wallace in their book "Who Killed Kurt Cobain?" (1999).
5. A spirit spells out I-N-X-S on the Ouija board, which doesn't look like a word but is the name of an Australian band that formed in 1977. The spirit must be the band's first lead singer, who died in 1997. Who is it?

Answer: Michael Hutchence

Michael Hutchence (1960-1997) has one daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence, who was named by her half sisters Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom and Little Pixie Geldof, with whom she was raised since her mother's death in 2000.

After touring with guest singers, Jon Stevens formally joined INXS as their lead singer in 2002, but he quit in 2004. In 2005 INXS participated in a television reality show to find their lead singer, J. D. Fortune.
6. This spirit tells us he is G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L, which causes us some confusion, but we are able to clear it up. Who was considered the leader of the Grateful Dead until his death in 1995?

Answer: Jerry Garcia

Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) lost the majority of his right middle finger during a woodcutting accident when he was four years old. Garcia appeared as an extra in the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
7. F-U-L-L-T-I-L-T-B-O-O-G-I-E announces the arrival of this visitor, who formed the Full Tilt Boogie Band to tour with her in 1970 before her death from a heroin overdose later that same year. Her most famous song is probably her 1968 cover of "Piece of My Heart." Who is she?

Answer: Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin (1943-1970) performed at Woodstock in 1969, but her performance was not included in the documentary or soundtrack recording. The director's cut of the film made for the 25th anniversary of the event added footage of Joplin, specifically her performance of "Work Me, Lord."

"Piece of My Heart" was originally recorded in 1967 by Erma Franklin, Aretha Franklin's older sister.
8. This spirit tells us that he is T-H-E-L-I-Z-A-R-D-K-I-N-G, which can only mean he was the lead singer for The Doors. Who is this poet, singer, and rocker who died in 1971?

Answer: Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison (1943-1971) founded The Doors in 1965 with Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger. The name of the group comes from the title of Aldous Huxley's 1954 book "The Doors of Perception," which details a psychedelic drug trip. The book title itself comes from a poem entitled "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," by William Blake, written between 1790 and 1793.

"Mr. Mojo Risin'" from their 1971 song "L.A. Woman" is an anagram of "Jim Morrison."
9. C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E spells out a number one hit for a guitarist killed in 1990, in a helicopter crash after leaving a concert where he performed with Eric Clapton. Who was this "Master of the Stratocaster?"

Answer: Stevie Ray Vaughan

Stevie Ray Vaughan (1954-1990) has an older brother Jimmy (b. 1951) who is also a successful guitarist.

Vaughan's favorite guitar, nicknamed "Number One" or "First Wife" was a 1962/1963 Fender Stratocaster that he got from Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music. It was in poor condition and had belonged to Grammy and Oscar winning musician Christopher Cross.
10. This spirit does not claim to be a musician but was a member of the punk rock group S-E-X-P-I-S-T-O-L-S. He died in 1979, and a fictional account of his relationship with groupie Nancy Spungen was the subject of a 1986 film. Who was this rocker?

Answer: Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious (1957-1979) (born John Simon Ritchie) was named after a hamster. When bitten by Johnny Rotten (John Lydon)'s pet hamster, Sid, Ritchie exclaimed that "Sid is really vicious."

Despite not being a very good bass player, Sid was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Sex Pistols in 2006.
11. P-U-R-P-L-E-H-A-Z-E may be one of this spectre's famous songs, but his "The Star-Spangled Banner" on electric guitar at Woodstock is an iconic performance of the 1960's. Are you experienced enough to recognize this rocker who died in 1970?

Answer: Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) was born Johnny Allen Hendrix. His father legally changed his son's name in 1945 to James Marshall Hendrix to honor his late brother. Jimi went by the nickname "Buster" to his friends and family, and performed as Maurice James and Jimmy James.

When Chas Chandler and Michael Jeffery signed him to a management contract in 1966, Chandler suggested the spelling change to "Jimi."
12. The planchette moves quickly to spell out R-O-C-K-N-R-O-L-L-H-I-G-H-S-C-H-O-O-L, indicating the punk rock group known for its short songs, such as "I Wanna Be Sedated." Unfortunately many of the band members have passed away, but we're communicating with the lead singer that succumbed to lymphoma in 2001. Who was he?

Answer: Joey Ramone

Joey Ramone (1951-2001) (born Jeffry Hyman) and the rest of the Ramones took their band name and stage names from the fake name "Paul Ramon" that Paul McCartney would use at hotels when on tour.

In 2003, a block of East 2nd Street in New York City was renamed Joey Ramone Place. In 2010, a report by the Associated Press stated that Joey Ramone Place was the city's most stolen street sign. The sign was elevated to 20 feet to deter thieves.
13. A-C-D-C marks a visit from another spirit, an "electrifying" singer that fronted this "high voltage" band until his death in 1980. Who is it?

Answer: Bon Scott

Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980) got his nickname in primary school when his family moved from Scotland to Australia. There was already a student in the class named Ronald, so the newcomer from "bonnie Scotland" was called "Bon."

AC/DC's 1980 album "Back in Black," recorded without but dedicated to Bon Scott, has been the second highest selling album of all time, with 49 million copies sold. The only album to sell more copies is Michael Jackson's 1982 album "Thriller," with 110 million copies sold.
14. M-O-O-N-U-N-I-T, D-W-E-E-Z-I-L, A-H-M-E-T and D-I-V-A are the unique names this rocker gave his four children. A pioneering, experimental musician who incorporated his anti-establishment viewpoint into most of his songs, he released more than 60 albums as a solo artist or with the band "The Mothers of Invention." Who was this artist?

Answer: Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa (1940-1993) was first married to Kathryn Sherman (1960-1964) and then to Adelaide Gail Sloatman (1967 until his death). This second marriage resulted in four children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. The name on Dweezil's birth certificate is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid, because the hospital refused to record "Dweezil" as his given name. When Dweezil learned of the discrepancy at 5 years old, he insisted on having his name legally changed.

Several scientists have honored Zappa by naming discoveries after him. These include an extinct mollusk, a genus and species of fish, a jellyfish, a spider, a gene, a metazoan fossil and an asteroid.
15. G-R-A-C-E-L-A-N-D should be enough of a clue for you to guess the next spirit to use the Ouija board. Who was the "King of Rock and Roll" who died in 1977?

Answer: Elvis Presley & Elvis & Presley

Elvis Presley (1935-1977) had a twin brother, Jesse, who was delivered stillborn.

Despite of his worldwide fame, Elvis only performed outside of the United States three times, all in Canada, during 1957.
