Ouija Boards Article for Mag?

6th

ok people am well underway with the magazine .... who's look is soon to be unveiled!
I thought people here might like to be involved with it, after all i'm aiming it at the type of people who read & post here.

Anyway I was wondering if someone would like to write an article on Ouija boards as they seem to be a topic which always get strong reactions. It doesnt have to be a work of award winning standard, just cover all the angles and try give the info people might find interesting. So if anyone is interested just either pm me or post it here.

I'll be putting up posts like this on a regular enough basis some if anyone is interested in a regular writing slot which pays nothing .... let me know.

I think an article on EVP would be a good idea, as it has been promted a lot with the recent release of 'White Nose' the movie, people that never talk about anything paranormal are quite interested in anything that goes bump in the nite, its the most widely know item fresh in peoples mind which could interest them more a scientific point of view debate with an unexplainable point of view.

Sounds good... you want to do a piece for it? I know stuff like this takes time but its a good way to get something published ...even if it is just my little rag.

an A4 or more, less than 2 I will have to ad pics but will need all references quoted. remember you get your name put to it if it goes in, issue 1 ...... could be worth a pretty penny in a few years time! lol

Ok Ziycon, am reading your piece about EVP which i like, i'll be on to you about that soon.

In regards to a piece on Ouija boards I'd be interested to have one of our skeptics do a piece? Its an area where alot of young people get their first point of interest and has had alot of publicity over the years. It also have its history as a game and therefore a basis for some good factual writing.

Anyone interested?

I'll give it a bash. How many words? (I know you said 1A4/2...but there's font size and spacing etc...word count is easiest.)

Do I need to reference all my sources or just direct quotes?

Just cover your as so i dont get sued

Zillah

Can do

Zillah, do you think you should carry out a Ouija Board experiment for the mag? I've done it before and it can be strange in terms of unusual psychological feelings and even physical phenomenon, so I'm not advocating it, but it could be interesting....

Don't do it in your own house though... and also you may become possessed....
