Either would I tbh.

I have seen one being used before and I don't know what to make of it, Derren Brown did a thing to disprove the moving table myth and I think it can be applied to this aswell. The movement of the glass/whatever you are using is not due to spirits but to unconscious movements by those controlling the glass (even if you only have a "light" touch on it).

But having said that, wouldn't go out and try it myself, would probably piss myself :P

Never mind what people say about the 'dangers' associated with Ouija boards. It's a board with numbers and letters painted on it. The biggest danger that could be associated with Ouija boards is that is could be used as a weapon to bludgeon someone to death with. That's all. You will not attract so called demons or other evil spirit because they don't exist. The only reason people buy these sort of things is because the human mind is always fascinated by the irrational.

Girls i know got fanatical about them in school.It got around so much, the school and the police and the priest took it serious enough to have a big meeting.A bit odd if they dont work:p
But i am sure some people from Springfield and belgard would recall this one:D

p.s also made into newspapers if i recall right.

A glass that moves when 5 people are touching it? Must be magic.

CrazyRabbit

Used one when I was 10, with my 2 younger sisters and 13 year old cousin who was babysitting us. We used an up-side-down glass as a pointer and scrabble letters in a circle.

We asked questions about past and future events and got accurate answers.

After asking lots of silly questions, the glass moved rapidly back and forth and got violently 'thrown' off the table into the far kitchen wall (about 10 feet).

We cleaned the broken glass up, and naturally accused each other of doing it, though we all kinda new that none of use could have moved it with that amount of force using just a finger.

We packed everything away and my mum came home at exactly the time the board said she would. Freaky!

Weirdest part is that the Scrabble game disappeared after that. It wasn't back in the cupboard where we put it and was never seen again.

So, either my cousin or little sister are really good at creating illusions, or it was real.

I've been on here even longer and I think it's THE best I've seen! Very clever, I love you Mikom. Way to go Mikom.

When I was at French College a few lads were mess-fighting in the dorm, one flew in to a mattress and knocked it off the bed. On the wooden board under the mattress there was a ouija board drawn out, with all the letters, numbers 1-10 and 'yes' and 'no'. There was also an ominous red stain over quite a sizable portion of it. Everyone in the room got really unnerved, and the guy who's bed it was, and who had slept in it for the past 2 weeks, got really upset and moved to a different room.

Even if they don't work, something just seems really disturbing about them to me.

I wouldnt be a superstitious person, but i think theres something really creepy about ouija boards! Alot of people i know have had spooky things happen when they were using them.

I wouldnt go near them for fear of destroying my trousers;)

El Guapo!

I did one years ago and my cat exploded.

oh right way before me so well i was only 2 then.. but my older brothers might recall or my parents.. yeah sure its probably the same school beside.. didnt know there were witches that went to my school

Pride Fighter

There was so many stories about them when I was growing up. Apparently 12 people were killed up at the hellfire club in the 50's after using one. Just a load of bollocks really. There were so many names for them when I was a kid, ouija board, weeeji board and a luigi board, the last one was because Super Mario was so popular:D

Its all a nonsense and urban myth. All the stories around them.

My dad was doing a shift in a prison one night and he said that every half hour they used to do a routine check and basically walk down the corridor where the convicts were kept. Anyway, at some ungodly hour he was walking down with the guy he was on duty with and they noticed two prisoners in the same cell still up and the other guy who was with my dad asked them what they were at. The lads said they were trying this "weeeeeegi" board that one of them had made.

My dad laughed his arse off at these two obvious idiots (him being a huge skeptic) and went back to the main office with his partner. About 20 minutes later there was screams from the corridor so the two guards run down to the cells and sure enough it's the Ouija board guys. One of them is unconscious in one corner of the room, the other is in the other corner screaming his head off. The board and glass were flung across the room.

My dad is a skeptic but he said watching two convicts who had a tough enough reputation quaking in their boots, he was properly spooked for the rest of the night

And this is why we need cctv in cells

Me and a few of my mates were just talking about them one day, and me Da overheard us and he said that if he ever heard of me using one he'd box the head of me.:P
He said him and a few friends used one in boarding school and a big window in the library cracked while they were playing it. Also, my friend's Auntie's friend(:pac:) is in a mental institution, because she believes that the devil is inside her after using a Ouija board.

Yep, it leaked all the way through a mattress. Power period.

Abrasax

We dabbled with them as teenagers.
I surmised, later, the glass was moving through our own sub-conscious motor movements (except for that one occasion, with two of using it, no conspiracy therefore, when it moved so fast in a figure of 8 pattern until it flew off the board, that neither of the 2 of us could be singularly responsible).

The predictions about my life that came true, I put down to self-fulfilling prophecies (part-time rationalist that I am).

If the posters here are a representative sample of the general population I can only conclude that the country is full of dribbling idiots.

Actually 100% true...though I might be a bit off with the ages. I'm quick to dismiss 'ghost' sightings, and 'alien abductions' etc as I'm quite a logical, scientific person. I haven't a clue what happened that night, I just know it was spooky as hell. For all I know, my cousin just tricked us somehow. I'd love to ask him, but unfortunately he committed suicide a few years ago.

(Leaving aside for the momemt the fact that its all a load of balliks)

If "Ghosts"/"Spirits" can move a glass around letters on a piece of cardboard

Surely they can just as easily operate a computer keyoard ?

How many posters on AH are actually ghosts
