Has anyone ever tried using a Ouija board?

No i haven't, I don;t even know someone who owns one. Thin its more of an American thing.

Don't use it would by my advice, bring it out to your backyard and set fire to it. You don't need to be messing with the other side, you could start something that you can't finish. I'm being deadly serious by the way.

My parents did it a few years ago and told me to never do it. I've heard pretty freaky stories about it which have put me off trying it out

There's as much risk of contacting demons through a Ouija board as there is through other games created by the Parker Bros. like Cluedo, Risk, Monopoly and Scrabble.

you have nothing then

In primary school. I thought it was a crock of shit and that people were pushing it but then that teacher found out and completely freaked out so I thought there must be something to it. Now I realise how naive I was, at that age, in regrading the primary school teacher as an adult.

I wonder if i brought the board with me to a psychic would he/she help me use it? I don't want to do it alone but none of my friends will do it with me.

She could pretend to help you use by making loads of crap up, like all "psychics" do.

Why do adults still insist that Ouija Boards have some magic powers, when it's public knowledge that it's a toy invented by the Parker Brothers (who weren't sorcerers so they had no way of investing all their mass-produced boards with magic powers) and they've been debunked over and over again.
The ideomotor effect is what makes people think the glass/pointer is moving by itself, and in tests with blindfolded participants, the pointer didn't readjust for the fact that the table had been reversed without them being informed.

Not Monopoly. Capitialist boradgame is more evil than dead spirits.

A serious post. I actually played with one a few years ago with my mates and here's the thing - it's just you playing with your head, has absolutely nothing to do with paranormal activity.

For example, whenever we asked questions (about dead relatives, etc) in which one of the people playing the game knew the answers to (names of relatives or whichever), the 'spirit' would reply with the correct answer. If that person wasn't playing the game but was in the room and questions that only they knew the answers to were asked, the answers would be jibberish. Without realising what you're doing, you're moving the board to the answers that you are aware of.

I had a look on Wikipedia and this theory - which am convinced of having tried the game myself, is described as "unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect. Various studies have been produced, recreating the effects of the Ouija board in the lab and showing that, at least under laboratory conditions, the subjects were moving the planchette involuntarily."

It really is as simple as that. To think that grown adults are scared of a children's board game is far more disturbing.

Tried it??? I won 2 fooking Oaks on her ffs and a Breeders Cup Filly & Mare turf!
