ouija boards anyone??

why is it in all the accounts of violent spirits in this forum there either involve heart attacks or broken glass

 

I'm skeptical as shit when it comes to Ouija boards. They've been both played with and taken seriously by friends and myself - yet always finished with a skeptical viewpoint.

 

a friend of mine played with one of the boards several years ago. he was with a few people and his sister asked "how am i going to die" and it said "17 car crash". at 17 she was killed by a drunk driver.

i have heard lots of bullshit from them and also scary stuff. i havent tried one so i dont really have much of an opinion.

it is a board game though....

 

These stories are very interesting,
Anyway I have no experience with ouija boards and I dont think ill ever use one..all these stories have scared me.

 

Believed when seen or experienced.

The Ouija only has as much majic as you put in to it.. as any inanimate object.. If you are fearfull, you will draw fearfull things.... It's the power within you, not a board with letters painted on it.... If you are looking for a parlor game... stick with parcheesy... If you have not Mastered your own majic, don't go messing around with shit you could harm your Spirit with...You need only to connect with your Higher Self to find answers to questions you have......................................................................................

 

I haven't read the entire thread, skimmed a few pages.

I used to have a wonderful Ouija board my mother gave to me years ago. It was lost in a fire. For those fearful and curious, no the board was not actually involved in the fire in any way, excpet for being flamable (as were all my books, clothes, and new cotton print Indian tapestries, the latter being the real culprit in the destruction.) I miss it a lot. I could by another, but that one was special because it made me think of Mom.

I used the Ouija for many years without any negative incidents. At times I was really open, I had some interesting stuff happen. At times I was closed down and just fucking around with it, we got only garble. I think however, that if you're serious about using the Ouija or any other talking board as a tool of consciousness, then do not treat it as a game, and use it with respect. Frivolous use of any tool will get frivolous results. The same can be said for fearful or superstitious use of any tool. Garbage in, garbage out.

The stories of breaking glass and other drama, I have to say, are utter bullshit. I'm going to stand firm by that opinion, and I believe I have the experience to do so. It is wood and plastic, people, manufactured by Parker Brothers.

 

I’m skeptical as well when it comes to Ouija Boards, but I’m always open to the possibility

Fake, Fake, Fake. Growing up, I was one of those kids who always watched shows like "X-Files, Ripley's Believe it or not, Fact or Fiction, Unsolved Mysteries, etc.". I truly believed in all kinds of things, especially spirits and demons. I was ecstatic to finally get my hands on a Oujia Board when I was 14.

First thing I did was simply leave it under my bed for 6 months. No weird dreams, no visitations, nada. I finally got the courage to go out with 2 of my friends to a Jewish Holocaust cemetery around my house around 1am and play around with it there. The planchette moved randomly, we asked the board questions, got nothing but nonsense out of it. Disappointed, we all left and didn't mess with it for about 3 months.

My friend got a job at the hospital as a janitor in a bad neighborhood, we figured, shit, Dead People Central!; The board should work now! He let us in through the basement around 11pm and we messed with the board in one of the closets down there without cameras. The planchette this time was practically dead. We even tried resting just the tip of our nails on the corners of the planchette to offer as little resistance as possible, the thing just sat there. We simply ended up tossing it in the garbage chute there and that was the end of my curiosity.

The mind is a powerful thing. People see/hear whatever the fuck they think they're going to see if they're afraid enough.

 

its not the board that makes things happen,people are portals...when every one sits around and envokes a spirit (board or no board) things will happen...also it has everything to do with who you're with and the place you're in at the time you are envoking...I do agree with others here though...Unless you know what youre doing you shouldnt "mess around" with it..Its very dangerous..Know yourself and the others with you very well............
