What do you people think of ouija boards??
Has anyone ever tried one of those things??
Do they actually work??

My parents have told me not to mess with that and I'm wondering everything about it now. So opinions please.....

Oh they are cool as hell! And if you get the right kind (not cheap store bought ones) they really do work! But my mom won't let me have one, she says there the work of the devil! :evil:

my parents are the same way.... but if she won't let you then how do you know they work??

i dont think it's something i'd want to mess with.

I played with them when I was a teenager. I'm not gonna say why but I suggest staying away from them.

My mom had one when she was a teenager. She threw it away several times and it kept coming back. Finally she had to burn it. I don't like them.

What's scary is that a second ago there was a post after mine from Isabella. Now it's gone.

The devil is in the computer!

lol, hahaha..... sorry, i decided to delete that post cause i accidently pushed submit :oops:

and is that story true?!? i've seen that in a movie but i didn't believe it cause it was a movie :shock:

*follows lamia's orders, but is still curious about them*

I was always told to stay away from them... so I really don't know anything about them at all.

Because my neighbor has one... We used to mess around with it all the time. The weird thing is is that one time I asked it when and how I was going to die and it said in a car wreck, when I was 16.... :shock: :? :(

my mom is a Witch. she has always been a Witch. she is very open minded to all religions and practices, and she doesn't judge things based on rumours and such.

she told me never to touch one or go near one.

hopefully that will convince you guys that your parents are just being conservative.


also, the same thing that happened to gabe's mom happened to me and a friend of mine.

IF you believe in the supernatural and the occult, look at it this way:

With a board, you are attempting to open the door between the two planes. you can't control what comes thru, you can't even close the door. and when it's open, you're atanding RIGHT NEXT TO IT. do you wanna be standing next to whatever comes thru?

I've had some VERY bad experiences with those things.

I'm a follower of Jesus so that right there is one reason for me not to mess with one.
Whether you follow God or not, if you believe in good and evil, ouija boards are messing with some dark forces.

it's pretty much saying.. "hey, you, demon. wanna come play? answer my questions and stay in this board, it will be a nice home for you."

now i know this may sound weird but my mom knows someone who had a ouija board... dont know if they ever even used it.. but they had it in their closet. one night they woke up to a demonic being hovering over them and they saw it going into the board.

weird shit, that is.. aye, indeed.
i believe that demons can 'haunt' people and objects and places if they are invited to do so... i mean, it's not like something even against my 'religion' to believe. it's right there in writing in the Bible that demons can enter things and posess them. and i think ouija boards and messing with 'dark forces' are perfect opportunities to let that happen.

stayyyy away from them.

daaaamn this stuff is freaky!

So where can I buy one? :D lol j/k...I remember a friend of mine had one...she brought it over to a party I was at but didn't let anyone else look at it...the bitch...

I grew up being told all of the same stuff, that they were evil, etc. Of course, I remember being told the same thing about roleplaying games, like D&D. I never really had any desire to play with a Ouija board, though. They always seemed creepy to me.

^that part^ just sooo freaked me out

it's pretty much saying.. "hey, you, demon. wanna come play? answer my questions and stay in this board, it will be a nice home for you."

except there's no demons involved.

penn and teller did a demonstration for their show, "bullshit!" which proved quite effectively that ouija boards are just that: bullshit.

they blindfolded a group of people, and had them use it to contact a famous dead celebrity. the people gave all the expected (and wrong) answers to the questioning of the spirit... but the board didn't.

because they'd flipped it upside down.

when i was little, my grandmother expressly told us (she's very religious) grandkids she didn't want us "courting trouble" as she'd referred to it. i've never played with one, but one of my cousins did. she's still traumatized from it.

i believe that it is possible for creatures unknown to us to manipulate objects, especially a ouija boards, which call to "dead" spirits so i'd rather not tangle with that.

I have heard of some really wicked things happening from those damned things. I have heard some things saying stuff like, if you use one, you could attract a spirit to be connected to your energy and it will follow you wherever you go and it will cause all kinds of bad shit to happen around you. Also, I would never mess with one because (as Indi said) it opens a door and you can't close it and could send thru some really fucking pissed off spirits.

There was a guy on the [O]boards back in the day that knew a shit load about Ouija boards and the supernatural and all kinds of occult things, but he, from what he said, wasn't a dark occultist or anything, he just knew about it. Some of the things he said freaked me the hell out.

Well I can remember being around 10 years old and living where I use to live. Anyways I was at my neighbor's house were these two girls who were my friends lived. Well we were in one of them and then her older sister came in and she's like want to play a game? I was like what game. They were like do you want to play with this Ouija board. And they had the blinds closed and everything. I then said no and I need to go home. Now this is being 10 years old and I really didn't know much about Ouija boards but I knew hell I am not going to fuck with those things. So I just left. Just being in the room with the board gave me really bad vibes so I just have never wanted to mess with them or anything like that.

this whole thing about ouija boards is scaring the sh*t out of me. :( ::hides under a blanket::

i still kinda want to play with one to see what it does .. but i don't want to cuz i don't want a demon following me. i don't know why i'm getting so scared .. i question heaven and the belief of an afterlife .. hence i'm pagan. maybe it's how you guys tell your stories .. they're like horror movies !!

:twisted: <---- this thing is scaring me now...

i question heaven and the belief of an afterlife .. hence i'm pagan.

is that a cornerstone (or something) of what pagans believe in? i don't think i really understand the connotation of what being pagan is today.

a pagan is basically someone who believes in god .. but doesn't belong in a religion.

No being (divine or infernal) can control my life; I don't need any preternatural contraption to dictate my fate. I am the author of my own destiny.

EDIT- I just wanted to add, a pagan (for those who are wondering) is literally a 'land-dweller'.

No being (divine or infernal) can control my life; I don't need any preternatural contraption to dictate my fate. I am the author of my own destiny.

existentialist?

well this is what m-w.com says it is (m-w is merriam webster)

1 : HEATHEN 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2 : one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person

existentialist?

LOL, ya think? ;)
However, I'm not an atheist in the strictest sense of the term. I believe in God, but not in a Supreme Being.

i was serious about the existentialist thing ...

but if you don't believe in a Supreme Being, what does God mean to you?

I am the same as naikuu, meaning im a strong christian, and so i have always stayed away from evil things like the ouija boards and all that shit, but i have no doubt in my mind the things are for real.....scary stuff!!! *bites nails* just thinking of demons makes me nervous

grow some balls, godchild. demons are all around you. they run your daily life. they're called republicans.


but yeah, one time i talked to something that claimed to be kurt cobain. never had any bad experiences with the board tho. i think if you open yourself up to a bad experience, you'll have one. like with acid trips.

Ive been around a few..i havent personally used them but been around those who had.

they personally dont freak me out.

I look at them this way.
they are probably mass produced in a factory by workers making minimum wage.

Nothing really superstitious about that.

Also, a pagean(sp?) is technically someone who does not belong to the major religions(Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam)

well this is what m-w.com says it is (m-w is merriam webster)

1 : HEATHEN 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2 : one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person

If that's how they define 'pagan', I'd hate to see their definition of 'rock star'.

Im a girl, dev, i cant grow balls :P :rolleyes:

OK, about Pagans. there are so many different definitions, so maybe I can help out.

One definition, the one used most frequently by christians, is anyone who is not christian.

Another, the one most commonly understood by people who actually call themselves Pagan, such as myself, is something like this:

Pagan is to Wiccan and christian is to baptist.

Pagan can mean all earth religions, such as Druidry, Shamanism, and Wicca. that is what i consider it to be. i am a Pagan. i am an earth-repecting Witch.

and no, questioning things and existentialism have NOTHING to do with Paganism.

existentialism makes you and existentialist. not knowing what is up there makes you agnostic. not belonging to any religion makes you non-denominational. none of these things are Pagan unless you use the primitive christian definition, which is what M-W described.

thanks for clearing that up, indi. :D

isnt existentialism a form of philosophy, but its not a religion?

aren't all things possible thru christ? that's what i'm hearing on the street...

I've tried them a few times, but to no avail. The more and more I think about it, the more hesitant I am.

if you believe in the message of prophecy, it says the world will be ruled by evil in Christ's return. One of the greatest deceptions (http://www.rense.com/general33/walmartbabycribtoy.htm) ever devised was to have a tool of the devil actually sold in the children's section of toys

Much like Buddhism... it can be viewed as a religion OR as a philosophy.
And again, the term pagan literally means "earth-dweller". The original pagans were diverse tribes of people that honored the earth. They later evolved into a very intellectual and scholarly people (i.e., the Druids) and are credited to giving birth to many of the ideologies and customs of today. Neo-Paganism is the fairly recent (the past 200 years or so) revival of those ancient practices. The Pagan traditions (both old and new) are quite interesting, and I encourage everyone who has a deep respect for nature to look into their history.

they're considered a sin... a tool of the devil by catholics

I remember i got into a big debate with my religion teacher in high school. apparently if you use an ouija board, you have to confess befor eyou can recieve communion again.

fucking crazy religion. I've never had anything even remotely spiritual come from using an ouija board. whateva.

Oi, this thread has me creeped out. I'd heard from my mom, who used to be a bit of a witch, always messing with the super natural, that I definately shouldn't play with them. She had some story, I don't remember it clearly, but involved something about her mother trying to burn the Ouija board when she found it but it wouldn't. o_O

Yeah, I always figured my mom was exaggerating about Ouija boards, but after this thread I'm not so sure... :?

i'll repeat my remark from before.

ouija = bullshit. it's a hokey milton bradley and/or parker brothers BOARD GAME. it's not real.

i played with one once, and i'm not impressed.

Some years ago, some friends of mine offered me to join them in this game where you have a cup on the center, and different letters around. Dunno what's it called. You gather with some people, and everyone put a finger on the cup. Then it will start moving towards the letters on the board/table, which will make a message from the spirits. Spooky, eh?

Fortunately, I denied to take part in it, after reading about some incidents where it made people mad and forced them into soucide.

So, yeah, I believe that no one without a strong faith should dabble with these occult things. And if someone really must, it definitely shouldn't be for entertaining purposes.

-Tom

I was told to stay away from them as well, not that I needed telling as I believe that you shouldn't mess around with things like that.

i'm kind of tempted to try playing with one, but i don't want to risk a demon following me for the rest of my life... if there even are any. :?

i partially believe in an afterlife, but i also believe that if you're dead, you're just dead. the scientific side has convinced me more than the religious afterlife side, but i still don't want to mess with the so call "unknown" if there are any.

This is the f*cking longest quote. Evar!

I'm a believer of Jesus, and so I'm not afraid of the demons, they're not going to hurt me, unless I invite them to do so. One way of inviting them could be Ouiji boards.

Anyway:

not belonging to any religion makes you non-denominational.

This one part of your post I'd like to beg to differ.
non-denominational is what you call it when you go to a christian church that isn't of a specific denomination (catholic, apostolic, baptist, etc.)

I played with them when I was a teenager. I'm not gonna say why but I suggest staying away from them.

i'm with you. we used to use them all of the time. in my opinion - don't go there

[color=#ccccff]i'm kind of tempted to try playing with one, but i don't want to risk a demon following me for the rest of my life... if there even are any. :?



if you're interested in the occult enough to entertain the idea of playing with one of these things, you should also know that there are things you can do to get rid of evil shit that follows you around. how do you think voodoo practitioners escape karma for doing curses? you can protect yourself from negative influences and there are ways to rid yourself of them should they latch on for whatever reason.

not knowing what is up there makes you agnostic.

Agnostic is not caring either way if there is an afterlife or not.

You can also go to your local exorcist, and hope that a bolt of lightning doesn't strike you down on your way. :)

Main Entry: 1ag·nos·tic
Pronunciation: ag-'näs-tik, &g-
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek agnOstos unknown, unknowable, from a- + gnOstos known, from gignOskein to know --
Date: 1869
: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and prob. unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
- ag·nos·ti·cism /-t&-"si-z&m/ noun

that definition is self-contradictory. The first part of it makes it seem that they believe in an unknown, then the second part makes it sound as though they don't care....hmmm sounds as though we are both right then.

I haven't had a chance to read everyone's replies to this but I wanted to add. I know that some don't believe in demons and spirits.

I used to be a witch I strayed from my Christianity. I'm a Christian again. I never understood that the gifts I had were from God. I thought I was phychic or something...

Anyways, when you play with a O board you will get attacked by all kinds of crap. They can pretend to be someone you know that is dead but it's not them trust me. Plus that crap will follow you around.

They are real. Trust me. I have a ton of stories. Just don't even go there.

Ok here's a story. My friend and I were playing with it and this other friend came over and he was reading a magizine. He said, "If that's real then tell me who's on the cover of this mag?" And he folded it up so we couldn't see. The board said, "a man." He said, "Yes but what man?" It said, "Axle Rose." And it was Axle Rose!

wow...maybe it was the ghost of axle rose's career

wow...maybe it was the ghost of axle rose's career

*hehe*

For real! This was G n' R. was big. *LOL*

stayyyy away from them.
You are a very wise girl! They are EVIL and I speak from a place I pray no other curious person ever finds themself in. They are a vessel for demons to wreak havoc on unsuspecting people who think they are a game. Parker Brothers has been selling them for years as a Party Game. They are anything but. I know only too well what they really are and I've seen things that are so unbelievable I wouldn't expect anyone here to believe me if I told you the whole story.
I will tell you one incident though. I was playing with a friend and we asked it some stupid question like are you happy where you are at right now. Well whatever the hell we were talking with
got very upset and we told it we were leaving. The planchett you use to communicate with started spinning on the board and flew off across the room landing with the end in my bedroom wall. the hole was still there up until my dad painted it a few years ago(it is now my Little sis's room). Then my doll sitting on the shelf looked right at me. My friend saw it too. Her head turned from side to side and she was possessed with whatever had been in the room at the time. Demons have the ability to possess inanimate objects, people, and animals too.
I cannot stress enough the importance of staying away from them if you do not want supernatural activity in you home or in your life.
These demons are bored and they grow very attached to you to keep them not only entertained but to have energy to sustain their
ability to stay here for long periods of time.
The bible states the dead know nothing. Even if you aren't a Christian the fact remains there are catalysts of good and evil. The ouijja board, (which means yes, yes board) is a means of evil communicating with living people for it's own amusement.
WE had to have our home blessed and essentially cleansed of all demonic and supernatural activity due to a ouijja board being brought in. Please Stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:shock:

oh my ..

but how would you know a demon is latched on to you ?? can you see them ?? or do horribles just happen you??

They are not a joke, that is for sure!

If ouija boards bring demons to you, then are there boards that bring angels (or another good presence)??

If ouija boards bring demons to you, then are there boards that bring angels (or another good presence)??

*hehe* good point!

In the blible it says when you talk about God to another person Angels take note.

Demons and angels are everyhere you go. They are on/around people too. It's just up to you to decide how you want them to effect your life.

There are such things as Angel Boards (http://www.angelalliancenetwork.com/angel_board/index2.htm). A friend used to have one. I used to have a Ouija board, but I think my mom threw it away (she is INCREDIBLY scared of anything like that). I actually have another one. I got it a couple of years ago. Only used it once, though. Not much happened.

I always heard that you are not supposed to use them alone.

In college, my friend Tamara and I would mess with it. It was weird...The thing was moving, and she said she wasn't doing it and I knew that I wasn't doing it. This was further proven when our fingers slipped off of it and the thing propelled itself off the board.

Everytime I've ever played with that (or the Angel Board), it was like I was almost asleep, but I wasn't. I'd get cold and my fingers would go numb and the thing would just move. As soon as I let the thing go, it would be okay. Put my fingertips back on, and I was almost asleep again.

We never tried to contact anyone in particular with it. One thing said it was Eazy-E once, though. :)

For one answer, you can feel a demon on you. My family calls it an "attachment." It's on your back. You can get really cold, even if it's just on your back. It is always really cold around you. My mother spent a good part of her life cleansing houses. I went with her to cleanse a house once. I was only allowed inside briefly, but the house was absolutely freeeeeezing, even tho it was the middle of the summer.

The other question, about angels. It is my belief that the boards open the door that lets in everything from the spiritual palne. Demons, angels, spirits. But, if an angel comes thru the door, you wouldn't know it b/c it won't start hurting you. You only know the demon is there b/c demons like to taunt and hurt. I mean, how is an angel gonna let you know they are there? Tickle you?

guys, really. repeat after me:

BULLSHIT.

just try it on for size for once. think for yourselves. who's afraid of a piece of plastic and a piece cardboard with letters on it. well i agree that, say, al azhif's "necronomicon" would be a stupid thing to mess around with (the first edition anyways. lol), a milton bradley BOARD GAME is nothing to be afraid of.

the demonstration i described above as performed on penn and teller's "bullshit!" shows quite conclusively that the wee-gee board gives the answers its participants thinks it does, independent of actual activity on the board. think no? it'll move to where you think "no" is, whether or not "no" is actually in that location.

if your demons and spirits are that easily fooled by blindfolds, they're not really much to be scared of.

yeah, christians and jews, it's a method of divination and is therefore forbidden, because it and all other methods of divination (such as drawing lots, rolling dice, etc) are inherently FALSE. god speaks to the repentant heart, not the piece of plastic, and to claim that some other power makes this method of divination somehow valid detracts power from god by putting that in the place of or above god. which is blasphemy according to commandment no. 1. (the same is true for the "devil," hasatan, who as it turns out is really only an angel of the lord who can do nothing except by the will of the almighty, and exists to test the faiths of men. "satan" means opposition or tester)

Alright then dude. You go fuck with it then, I ain't touchin the shit. I have heard too much wicked stuff going on because of them.

i am not saying the board itself is a magic object. i am saying that when you play with it with the intentions of talking to spirits, you open the doors. that's all.

i have. when i was in elementary school. i thought it was kind of interesting, but found it unexciting, and doubtful.

and no bad stuff happened.

Just because something is mass-produced, it doesn't mean it can't do what it claims. Yeah, a lot of time I think a lot of the stuff a person "finds out" when using a Ouija board can be utter shit, but that doesn't mean it never works. I've heard too many creepy stories about what can happen to believe they never do what they say they can.

Also, placement of where you mess with them may have a different effect. Maybe a place high in spiritual energy would have a more startling effect on what happens. I don't really know how one would go about finding a particular place, but really, I don't wanna find out.

Yeah, personally I don't take my mom and a majority of the people here for idiots. I was surprised to find so many people here that hold the same views on them as I was taught. And uh, I've had enough problems with demons as it is. Got rid of them, it'd be kind of stupid to do anything that could get them back again.

For one answer, you can feel a demon on you. My family calls it an "attachment." It's on your back. You can get really cold, even if it's just on your back. It is always really cold around you. My mother spent a good part of her life cleansing houses. I went with her to cleanse a house once. I was only allowed inside briefly, but the house was absolutely freeeeeezing, even tho it was the middle of the summer.

That's kinda creepy. I had some really bad stuff go down the end of last year, and I remember feeling like I was never alone, and I was always freezing. Like so bad that I'd turn the water in my shower up as hot as it would go (which is pretty hot), and I'd still be shivering. I remember feeling like I was way paranoid, but whenever I closed my eyes, it was like there was someone there staring at me.

I think its a load of BS myself but i've never tried one so I guess I dont really count.

wow, those are pretty creepy stories!! I mean, i always had a doubt in my mind that is was a bunch of bullshit, but i never totally doubted that they did work........and of all the stories i have read they are pretty convincing, and im pretty sure that ouija boards can work, but dont always....some strange stuff.....

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

to believe or not to believe:

THAT is the question...AND the answer!!!!!

if you are the least bit nervous, then you could have a dark effect
whereas if you think it is nothing more than a bullshit parlor game
then nothing interesting will probably occur

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION PEOPLE!!!!!

the human brain/mind is a very powerful instrument, and can play
tricks on oneself

remember; IF you believe,... it will happen
and: IF you don't, then it never did.........

anyways......WGAFF! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

ok this is pretty creepy stuff to hear
i once wanted to get an ouija board, but one of my close friends said to stay away from them...so i have
now after reading all these posts i definatly will!!!!!
:shock:

why buy one? just play it here (http://www.courierpress.com/ghost/ouija/)

i am not saying the board itself is a magic object. i am saying that when you play with it with the intentions of talking to spirits, you open the doors. that's all.


I so agree.

Anything you believe in strong enough can happen. Also if you don't know what you're doing or up agaist you don't need to be playing with. It's not a toy or a game.

i am not taking any chances and clicking on that link, but i dont think it is the same thing to do it online as it is in real life.....i doubt it would work on the computer, but im not going to try

click on it, it's funny...it won't do anything a good exorcist can't fix

Anyone who has been involved with the occult can tell you there are many ways to communicate with so-called spirits and more ways they will try to communicate with you. Seances, mediums,
talking cups(that is the when you use the glasses on the alphabet board that resembles the ouijja), and the strangest in my opinion automatic writing.
All those things are just vessels for them to talk to whomever they have decided to bother.
Back to the Automatic writing thing, anyone here ever experience it? I have and it is just more proof to me that there are evil spirits attempting to impersonate our deceased friends, relatives ,and anyone else we are curious about. This all goes under the heading not to be messed with.Ohhh how I wish I was at liberty to tell all my story but it isn't entirely mine to tell so the other parties involved have forbidden it.

riiiiight, i think i will still pass :P

The online version is pretty dumb.

It just gives you standard spooky answer like:
Who are you?
- Y...o...u
Who am I?
- N...o...o...n...e


On the subject I don't really believe in such things. But I'd gladly do if I ever experienced something.

ha ha ha!
just as I thought:
is this bullshit? no
are you sure? no
are you sure? gray
are you sure? no
then this is bullshit? yes

yeah, I tried it several times when I was younger
I was/am not INTO all this stuff, I'm just curious. I study lots of things just for the basic knowledge(ie: religions, sciences, pseudosciences, myths,.......
anyhow**getting off track** the most I got out of the scribbilish were a few words like "no, the, why, who, and yes

as I said before, the mind is a powerful instrument!!

well, I've used one multiple times back when I was wiccan, but I don't anymore because it is a form of divination, which is forbidden to Christians. But personally, I really don't care that much up or down about them. I think the reason that they work is a subconscious thing. There may be other forces at work, but they don't bother me. Fear is a weapon of any enemy, so if there are evil forces at work behind it, I'm not worried, and if they're good, there's no need to worry.

my sentiments exactly.
that is what I've been saying.....thank you Imaginary Light!

While the mind is a powerful thing I was told things that my mind never in a million years could have known. Lots of future events which have already happened. Maybe it tapped into my own spirituality and I already had many psychic episodes.
They are evil. I don't fear evil because I have the Lord in my life.
then I did not and I fought it but it was that fight that brought me to the Lord.
Whether it be the power of the mind or something much more sinister , I don't like them anyway. The mind had nothing to do with it in my case. They would make me sleepy, and come into my dreams and make me want to go on the ouija. We got rid of it and still they wouldn't let up. Then the automatic writing started.
It happened to me for months straight everyday.
Pages and pages of badly spelled connected words that were written with my hand and not my handwriting. The things that had invaded my life wanted to talk so I would trust them and not believe they were demons. Nasty things! I would quit writing and it got ridiculous, they would break in and write all over a test I was taking at school. My hand would go numb and hurt and my
pen would be going wild all over. Try explaining that to your teacher! I couldn't ignore them, and it continued. Then when they thought I was really hooked(it is like an addiction of some sorts, they are funny and they seem really cool and offer all sorts of advice and tell you things that will happen, and do) then the bad stuff started happening. Really scary. I saw so much and still it seems like a nightmare but I was wide awake.
Those of you who it didn't work for are lucky. You didn't miss out on a thing!!!

Okay I have heard some things on here that have really disturbed me but in my opinion it is all about intention (Like others have said on here) If you start messing with it and think it is nothing more than a mass produced load of bull than it will be nothing more than bull. If you are messing with it because someone told you not to than all you are doing is opening those "gateways" with a negative emotion. If you are open to something not good than something not good will come through........ think of it this way... a ouija board is like a telephone and your emotions and thoughts at the time of using it are the numbers that u are dialing. Personally I have used a ouija board at different peoples houses three times...... first time it was good..... second time it wasn't so good.... third time it was okay

Automatic writing..... interesting...... I don't do that.... I do something like that.... Automatic drawing.... Certain images come through that aren't reallly clearly just one thing.... (A bird that if you look at it another way looks more like a man with a cloak on)
How it works for me.... I can think of a person and then the images start coming through.... When the images stop... I take a look at them and see if i can make out any specific meanings...... (like the bird which looked like some type of mythical firebird.... the certain meaning for this person was "just because you have almost reached your goal doeesn't mean you have to sacrifice the relationships with people that have helped you on the way. Becoming unattached isn't going to help you at this certain point) Where I saw a bird in this picture someone else saw the cloaked figure.
I have had one incedents where it was difficult to stop... and I couldn't because I was afraid what would happen if I stoped.. but after awhile I realized I could be in control again if I stepped up to the challenge. When this happened I honestly wasn't in the best place in my life I had tapped into someone or something that knew that and could feed off of it.
Like I said before it is all about thoughts, feelings, and intentions.......... Well that is just my opinion

I can think of a person and then the images start coming through....

:rolleyes:
possible latent remote viewer :?:

There's a small discussion about Ouija boards on the Debate board now...

I was searching for "opposites attract" and this came up :? the hell...

Anyway, Ouija boards are the work of the devil, as many peoples have already said here, I'm sure. I don't know who came up with that...it creeps me out.

Every time I'm talking or reading about supernatural stuff, my body gets chills.

Why LET spirits into your mind, your life? Is there a positive side to it? I don't think so. You don't know anything about the supernatural beings and what they may be capable of...how you may change as a person, whether it's just paranoid, possessed, or the same...stuff like that.

I will NEVER mess with an Ouija board...whoever created this must be a satanist or something...very, very disturbing.

My mom had one when she was a teenager. She threw it away several times and it kept coming back. Finally she had to burn it. I don't like them.
thatz weird, thatz wut happened 2 my moms ouija board..but im not sure if she burned it or not.

I'm a believer of Jesus, and so I'm not afraid of the demons, they're not going to hurt me, unless I invite them to do so. One way of inviting them could be Ouiji boards.


Ditto. Exactly what I was going to say. I didn't know you posted here.

That movie with the Ouija board fucked me up good at such an early age that I've been terrified of them all my life. My aunt used to have one in our basement with the other games and I was so afraid to go down there. Demons and the dark side and all that stuff scare the shit out of me. I would never go near it even today.

(I think my aunt tried throwing hers away a couple of times too...)

I have an Ouija board. I stopped using it becuase Ron- the ghost kept on bein mean and wouldnt talk. but it seems everywhere i go the place is huanted. i moved 3 times and all three houses are huanted including the one i am in now! my room is huanted. its freaky as heck. i know this isnt a thread about ghosts but one time i walked in my room and saw a ghost from the reflection of the TV. i was freaked out. Then at nite there is a girl that likes to walk around my room. My dads house ishuanted but he wont hear of it.

a pagan is basically someone who believes in god .. but doesn't belong in a religion.

no that's really not true.

i'm a wiccan and a witch, and have used the ouija board on many occasions. the ouija bord (yesyes board) basically opans the door beteen our world and the next. so that spirits can either enter or leave. on most occasions i used theouija board to allow spirits to leave this wourld when they didn't have the strengh to do it any other way.

however, once when i as younger a malevolent spirit came through the board and into one of my friends who is particularly receptive to spirits and energies. he ended up trying to strangle me. i was forced to fight back, and my friend and i both got hurt. :(

if you want to contact spirits go to a licenced medium. don't use a board, or, if you do take procautions. like a ring of sea salt around the board, and a board blessing. a friend of mine has a blessed board, and only spirit guides may speek through it. we regularly consicrate this board, and have it washed in holy water (the wiccan kind).

but please take my advice dont use the board.

they work, my mom got me one. no actually she had my cousins, thats like all i got for christmas last year loli havent had time to play wiht it, and it freak me out sometimes

there's really nothing dangerous about those things, I once made one myself and I tried it with some friends...

I can tell you one thing, it really works... our fingers were barely touching it
we talked to this guy (or girl, whatever) called JO, but he (or she) was very slow...

anyway, the only "dangerous" thing that happened was a flashlight that fell on my head (but I doubt that it had something to do with demonic activity...)

so what I'm saying is: YES it's real, and NO it's not dangerous (if you're careful and use enough protection)

but one thing here kinda freaked me out, the thing about a house being cold when there are ghosts in it... my room is always colder than the rest of the house :eek:



P.S.: I dyed my hair purple and I cut myself, so if I were you I wouldn't listen to me, I'm weird...

I really was trying not to post here.

Ouija boards are simply uncontrolled channeling of an astral or subastral entity. Something that most people wouldn't normally be capable of seeing. Since it is uncontrolled channeling it is also a crapshoot what kind of entity you can get--it could be good, it could be bad, chances are good that its going to be like pulling a random person off the street--generally good natured but possibly very very nasty.

Once you start channeling the entity, there is virtually zero protection using this method and there's generally no "safety" who can do the banishing should one be needed.

Certain layers of protection, things that most magicians and real witches can cast, can change the odds of getting a malevolent entity, but when you open yourself up that much you take a risk.

One other thing: just because they are more-or-less invisible, doesn't mean that they are right. There's no property of omniscience associated with not existing on this plane of reality.

They confuse me. I've tried one once. Don't know much about them at all. I know it was fun...it felt really weird. I've been wondering since how they work. I do believe in magic... *shrugs*

OK this is enough. As archnophilia said, Penn & Teller can prove "some" suff that they say. For example their episode :Bullshit: Bible: Fact Or Fiction." that episode clearly explained a lot from the bible, but enough about that. I previously bought a Ouija board (Ok I got it from ihatekorn for my b-day) and everytime I played it, not really much things happened. Ok at first I felt like I was crying, then I heard noises, but thats about it. It's called Psycho-something. It's what your mind wants you to believe. My Ouija board was taken away from my grandma who is a witch, but only until she feels Im experienced. Also, Im gonna make out this point. The Ouija isnt' what brings the sprit forth, It's the person. The Ouija board is just a tool for communication. It is used to make it easier. For example, If you think evil, you'll bring evil. If you think good, youll brign good. It's like life. If you think negative, you'll always be negative. A Ouija board was never evil before. It was made by William M. Fuld made as a toy after his boss, the creator went broke, he published it. The Ouija board got it's reputation from films such as "The Exorcist" and "Witchboard". It was never really recognised as evil until these movies. They bring as the Player of the game to be the victim. But it's not really that. It is only that the person feels that either they want evil, then they can get Evil. Yes, demons can possess people, but not usually through Ouija's. Yes, they do have their shall I say, Ouijastitions, but yeah, not much is true. My Ouija board has not followed me. If you burn it, it will only scream because of the wood they used to make it in. I'm not saying that the Ouija board is fake, but rather as a rool. If you really feel you want to judge for yourself, please make sure to visit www.museumoftalkingboards.com they will answer MANY questions in your bright little head. This week I am either ognna steal back my board, or buy another one. So if you guys have further questions visit the site, or PM me. Believe me, I know what I research.

I played around with them as a teenager because it was "cool", but I won't go near them now. Nasty stuff.

We used to play with them all the time. My friend had this old one that her mother had when she was younger. I think if you believe it will work it does.

I've had my experiences with the board.. and needless to say I do not think I will ever touch one again...

Ehh i have one up under stuff high up in my closet. I used to be facinated with it untill I met "Rob" who was living in our house and told me my grandpa watches me while i sleep.... yeah that was scary. Now i believe that my board just attracts them whether its in the box or not or where it is. I hate to look at it.

I don't believe they can foretell anything, but can provide a lot of negativity to the atmosphere. Most people end up asking questions like "When" or "How am I going to die?" and the result is always bad. Negative feelings = not a good thing.

Just liek I said in my previous post.

maybe you're all right and the board just tells you what you want to hear.
but i do believe one thing: they are portals to other worlds and whoever opens them has to be ready for the consequences...
personally i've never touched one, maybe cause i know that they're bad or maybe cause i haven't had the chance, either way i think that whoever tries it needs to be careful...

peace...

I do believe Quija boards are good and evil. While I was pregnant with my 2nd son, my mother in law called me. She and Melissa (my sis in law) were playing around on it. And it started talking about something that she had no idea about: my uncles. I had never told her about it at all. Then I had to, because she was curious. She also asked it about the baby I was carrying, and whether or not it would afflicted by a disease I carry. It said no, and also told us the date he would be born on, which at the time was a few days off from my due date. I just thought it was a fluke, and somehow tapped into my energy through the phone.



The darn thing was right. No disease, and got the date right, too.(which was later than my due date..and I went natural.) Call that fake.



deb

They're pretty cool, me and a friend were being cheap one night and still wanted one, so we made one and tried to channel my grandma, it was fun.

But I completly belive they work, there are other ways to channel spirits without boards but it's just one of the easiest ways. Why should the living be the only one existing in the world, that was definently an ego caused idea.

i have one, ive only used it once. when i used it my parents were gone, and i asked it if my parents would be getting back soon and it said no...than about five minutes later my parents came home. i dont know where it is right now, i cant remember if its at my ex-friend ashley's house or if she gave it back to me...if its at her house, i dont really want it back. when she borrowed it she asked it when she was going to die and it told her that she would die when she was 19..and she said something else happened, but she wouldnt tell me what it was.

I don't understand polls like this, why isn't there just a yes and a no?

Ouija boards are NOT to be fucked with.

I want a wee gee board. :(

One night, me and my two best friends did a Ouija Board together. We all swore to eachother that niether of us would push the glass around or anything. Anyways, when we tried it, it did move, but all it seemed to spell out was random nonsense. Half of the letters didn't even spell anything. I found it extremely fascinating but my friends were too freaked to try it again, so we never did. And I'll be damned if I do it by myself.

Since I found out my grandmother threw mine away and didnt' keep her promise, I'm not gonan keep mine and go buy me another one at the mall tomorrow. YAY To me, my board was like my baby. I took care of it. Polished it, wiped it, and played w/ it. Im such a good daddy.

You shouldn't believe in things like this... I adore things wich cannot be explained, but an ouija board... There is a scientific explanation for it. Once, we did this to. Me and a few friends. We al put our fingers on the glass and yess, of course it moved. But as scientist say: that's just because you are all so concentrated and that makes you don't have full control over your fingers. Of course you move the glass with you fingers, I hope there isn't someone who really believed in something like this?!

I'm very sorry, but I just wanted to say this... Ouijaboards are so stupid. Yess, they're exciting for young kids, but I mean: Grow up and don't believe in such things!

I sort of agree. I'm a big believer in mind over matter. Your mind is very powerful. Somehow I just can't seem to believe in these things.

.Last summer I was playing with a Ouji board. Actually.. I wasn't going to. I was just going to record stuff on paper and such. But the *spirit* in the board said it would kill me If I didn't play... Ofcourse I thought nothing of it.. but the stupid thing wouldn't say goodbye when I disagreed (you have to say goodbye and it must be returned before you can lift your hands of the arrow-thing).. So, I had to play.. But anyways.. We ended up contacting a few sisters who claimed they had been murdered by their father... they really couldn't spell well.. Then we got my sister's boyfriend's grandmother. Who knew exactly the time and reason why she died... Matt (my sister's boyfriend) got all sad... and then some crazy spirit (who moved the planchette really fast) told me that I was going to die in 2007.. and then I freaked out and started crying because it was taunting me and lifted my hands off of the planchette... bad Idea.. I haven't messed with one since. And I know Matt had not move it, because he wouldn't of made himself all sappy infront of us, my sister wouldn;t have done it, because she wouldn't have made me cry, and I know I didn't do it.....

Totally randoim, dumb question. x.x Is it possible to get Ouiji boards at wal mart or k mart or some place...?

Totally randoim, dumb question. x.x Is it possible to get Ouiji boards at wal mart or k mart or some place...?

I think you can, because I remember I saw one in K-Mart but it was a long time ago.
