Ouija Board

    Just wondering has anybody ever had any true life experiences with using a ouija board? My friends and I used one when I was about 11 years old but I don't believe that a spirit was moving the indicator.

    Anybody got any takes that they would like to share with the rest of us?? Or does anybody believe that these boards actually work??

    Just for the record, I think these are a hoax and that people involuntarily move the indicator. Well unless somebody can persuade me that the boards work.

    I'm going to assume there is a higher chance of a person believing it works if they think a God of some sorts exists.

    You have to be able to give in to believing in the unknown jibberjabber

    Playing the ouija board is very dangerous.

    You never know when the bees may issue forth.

    I have never used an ouji board and nothing to contribute to this thread.

    The Ouija board is nothing more than a board game developed by Hasbro Inc.

    I did as a kid and it moved an everything, but I know now as a child that the movement steamed from the weight of us hovering the coin and the will to believe in this rubbish.

    It's the same thing with these idiots who believe in fortune tellers and all that rubbish. It's all self forfeiting prophecies.

    Correct pronunciation is "wee-jee board".

    Back in the day we found our own ouija board,We got a board with a black mark on it as that meant the devil walked on it, we were terrified.

    Pffft, Ouija Board...............I do it hardcore and play Jumanji!

    We used to do it at school. One time we asked the "spirit" it's name and it spelled out G-O-D and we thought "fúck, we've got God!"

    turned out to be a gardener called Godfrey from Wolverhampton.


    Also once "communicated with "Alan" who claimed to be the son of Satan.

    Was never a believer myself, though did see something odd one time. Four lads were doing the board and three of us were watching, they asked a question that "the spirit" didn't like and right away the four of them looked like they were stood in the middle of a hurricane, wind blowing their hair and ties etc all over, while the other three of us, in the same room, sat unaffected. That actually did spook me a little.

    EDIT: come to think of it, we saw a few other spooky things too.

    I use Hungry Hungry Hippos to contact the dead. It's more reliable.

    I never di done and would not even expect there to be a reaction (apart form someone else doing it). It's a piece of wood / cloth / paper with an indicator. There's nothing but atoms in there.

    Tried it when in school, got nothing unexplainable. Tried a one-woman version a couple of weeks ago and nothing at all happened. It's all the operators' imagination.

    Imagine going to hell and the devils son emerges and introduces himself as "Alan"!!

    You couldn't take him seriously at all.

    We were caught playing with one in school and the teacher got the priest in to lecture us. He went on about doing things that can have horrific consequences. He was later convicted of sexually assualting young boys in our parish.
