    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.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    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.

    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.

    Theyre not particularly dangerous

    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;)

    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.
