Ouja Board, have you even done it?

Karona

Just chatting to my friend about the Ouja board and was wondering did anyone ever try it and what happened?

I personally would be too freaked out to do it.

Run_to_da_hills

Yes, had a crazy aunt from Australia that came over to Ireland when we were kids, I was six, had a Ouja board set up on the kitchen table with the lights out and candles, She flung the glass off the table to spook us. Later said she was messing.

people at my national school tried it then the priest was called in so i wouldnt attempt it if i was you

weiland79

Loads of them.

Pretty spooky experience's. We still talk about them 20 years later and everyone still maintains that they weren't pushing the cup around.

The Scientician

Yes. Scared the bejaysus outta me for about 5 minutes.

Ou Ja!

Tried it on my own. It failed miserably.

Dave!

Did one when I was an impressionable kid.

Now I'm an adult so I know it's all bullshít.

Attempt it with the priest?

this the ouija board that was patented and marketed in the late 1800s as a toy?

not entirely sure what supernatural abilities it could have to be honest

though everyone "knows someone" who had something happen

complete and utter nonsense

what better way to combat make believe nonsense with more make believe nonsense, eh?

seanybiker

Loads of times years ago. Nothing much happened so it was boring.

The Scientician

On a similar topic did ye ever do that "light as a feather, stiff as a board" thingy? We could never get to work but you could get 1000s of people to swear it worked.

a priest on his own with school kids is a scarier thought than a ouija board

How many people here that say it's rubbish would actually try it?

My teacher in secondary school showed my class this, but with the 'subject' sitting in a chair, 4 people would be able to lift a pretty heavy dude up with just their index fingers: one person under each knee and one under each arm.
Me and my mates used to do it a good bit!

It worked, can't for the life of me remember how its done though, but it definitly works, dont ask me how.

I remember doing it to somebody sitting down before, was amazed that it worked to be honest, but it was years ago and I forget exactly what we did.

Despite beliefs? If you don't believe in spirits or ghosts then I'm sure you could tap dance on it without any fear.

Only the rich kids had that game

Never tried it myself,would not attempt to dabble in black magic(for the remote chance it is actually real).An ex girlfriend tried it years ago apparently there was two cats present in the room and they started going buck mad so they stoped because they got so freaked out.she said they started running around the room hissing and making a strange whaling sound.Something up when a cat starts running:D

Crazy Horse 6

Did it several years ago. Load of rubbish tbh.

I would of thought Monopoly would be the board game of choice in the underworld.

Good to see The Brady Bunch making a comeback!

I don't need a ouija board -am more scared of the living than the dead,to be honest.

I've always been dubious about something that translates as "Yes Yes" when translated from French and German!(Oui Ja) Doesn't really give you a supernatural vibe, does it?

For years I thought it was called a Weegie Board

Me too! Didn't see the actual spelling til I was in secondary school.

When I was in French College a couple of years ago the guy in the bed next to mine found a hand-drawn ouija board on the wood under his mattress, along with a mysterious red stain (OOoooOOO). He was genuinely terrified to think that he'd been sleeping on a ouija board for the previous couple of weeks, and requested a different bed. This request was denied (it was a really terrible French College), so we swapped beds. I haven't suffered any ill effects.

Well, apart from Jonathan. He's a part of me now.

The other night my mother casually asked me if I wanted to try a séance with her. She had used one as a child before and she felt some sort of significance from it. I think she has a longing to contact her parents who died last year. I feel bad for her, and I thought about perhaps giving her a sense of comfort by moving the glass for it, but then I thought maybe giving her that false sense of hope was somehow unfair. I'm kind of in a moral dilemma, maybe you guys could give me some advice on what I should do?
