Would you ever use an ouija board?

These days, you don't hear much about these old boards that can supposedly contact with the "other side", whatever that means. Would you ever use one, regardless of your beliefs about religion and the afterlife etc?

Horror movies usually get a great kick out of all manner of demonic and horrible happenings to anyone who uses one. Me personally? I wouldn't use one, I just think that stuff is best off left alone.

As a chopping board? Yeah. Why not.

About all it’d be good for.

18-03-2018 01:05AM

I wouldn't bother because they are BS, but I would use one no bother.

‘Ouija’ is a trademark of Hasbro, by the way. It’s a game.

If there was enough booze involved then it could be a bit of fun.

But as for taking it seriously.... Then again people think Jesus will save them or whoever.

I wouldn't use one either, but because it's a load of nonsense rather than wanting to leave anything alone. File in the same place as fortune tellers, mediums and homoeopathy.

I use a magic 8 ball, so yeah why not.

Ajsoprano · 18-03-2018 01:08AM

If it was flexible enough I’d wipe me arse with one.

probably would have happened either way then. To be honest.

If that sort of stuff spooks you then life will follow up with tonnes worse.

I got it home, laid out the pieces and before I could even ask it a question the planchette started to move around, it eventually spelt

I'VE GOT A MESSAGE TO YOU

'What is your message?' I asked.

YOU SHOULD BE DANCING

Fear started flushing over me, 'Why should I be dancing?'

NIGHT FEVER

I started to become more confused then frightened now, I needed to get to the bottom of this. 'You're talking gibberish' I shouted!

JIVE TALKIN. HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE. STAYING ALIVE...

'God damn it!' I shouted. That old bastard sold me a Bee Gee board!

freshpopcorn · 18-03-2018 02:14AM

I might just to move the glass and freak people out.

Well nevertheless if you did use it as a chopping board I think eventually your dead relatives will turnup.

I tried contacting Micheal Jackson with one shortly after he passed away, didn't get a reply though.

It doesnt work if you are drunk or just taking the piss. If you get some serious people around an ouija board you can feel the whole atmosphere in the room change.

A bit of time. There was enough chemicals in Wacko it will take about five reincarnations before his head comes back on line. His message to you will be "what's the difference between michael jackson and a shopping bag"?

I did the ouija board one time. We made contact with a spirit called Troy, we asked him for a message and the pointer went to 5 then 0 then the letter k.
That was the end of it, we decided to call it quits.

The next evening, a few of us were watching a film on Sky Movies and there was a character called Troy who had a briefcase with $50,000 in it.

It may have been a massive coincidence.

If you get some seriously gullible people in a room with a 'psychic', the psychic becomes more effective too!

Fancy that...

You can't believe in Ouija boards and be a serious person at the same time, unfortunately.

Have a quick read up on the history of them. They were invented by waddingtons as a board game. Your serious people might as well be sitting around a monopoly board. Incidentally they change the atmosphere in a room pretty quickly as well.

If you use an Ouija Board correctly, you can play other board games with dead relatives.

Played a cracking game of Kerplunk with my dead aunt Nora at Christmas.

Ouija boards, card readers and tea leaf reader successes are often measured retrospectively... The example above is classic confirmation bias

Just because something is unlikely doesn't make it impossible or supernatural.

if you throw out enough vage and very common BS it will resonate with someone. everyone has lost some close to them , or know somone called mary, or need a new direction in life, have a parent that need to tell them that they miss them and that they are proud of them.

Are you there Muppet man ?

charlietheminxx · 18-03-2018 11:55PM

I wouldn’t use one. I’m skeptical but I still don’t like the thought of it, I’m a pretty jittery person with enough stuff to stress about without adding any supernatural concerns. I’ve heard a couple of odd stories about them from people who I wouldn’t consider flakes but who knows really?

Either way, no, hard pass from me.

Would you ever use an ouija board?
