    Yes but that does not mean that they are consciously trying to do that, or that they are trying to tell people lies. People genuinely believe that something bad will happen with a ouija board, so that has to be viewed sympathetically. Personally, I don't care for them. It's fun.

    I watched the Keith Barry too on and tv and I must admit I'm tempted to play around with one of these boards just to see if it works. Mr Barry said that you can make one yourself out of paper and googled it. I'm very tempted. I also read the paranormal forum here on boards on these ouija boards and there's conflicting opinions of them. Some of the stories I read are well fcuked up.

    Anyone ever do the "Sex Ouija Board" game?

    I did and best advice is to steer clear. I went to my priest after it and my willy was a bloody stump for weeks after that.

    I believe Ouija boards are dangerous and Satanic (yes some of us believe there is spiritual evil). Doing this can lead to possession, mental illness and all sorts of trouble. I can not believe he was given a slot on national television.

    I have past experience with Ouija boards and trust me its not worth it, stay away.

    Religion I seriously see as evil. That looks like a trolls comment but it seriously isn't. This belief in spiritual evil is a form of mental self torture.
    People should be more direct with they're thoughts when coming to conclusions about such things.

    When i was a kid i thought it was called a Luigi board. Thought i was missing out big time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    People are idiots.
    Not really, the mind plays tricks. It can be difficult to tame your own mind. Once you do that it can be hard to keep control of too. I've entered the Zen at times and at other times been at the gates of heaven, so to speak.
    I doubt anyone will have any idea what I'm talking about though.

    I used one before and i thought it was great fun.Then a week later i won on the lotto and now i am a millionare.I would recomend using one if you want to be very rich and enjoy a top end lifestyle.

    1st post on Boards and you're asking to be trusted on a matter on nonsense?

    Your problems might be bigger than worrying your head about satan.

    If you don't believe in evil, evil can do what ever it wants to you. You believe there is night and day, a magnetic north and south no doubt, hot and cold, then how about good and evil which are complete opposites.

    Saying "Religion I seriously see as evil" is a complete oxymoron.

    You can blame the church for your mothers reaction. As a young lad I did it in school with a few friends. We got caught and the priest was called in, it was taken very seriously. We used to like doing it in the old overrun graveyard on Halloween just to scare ourselves more.

    Its just a stupid game.

    Just to be clear, when you say "it" you mean?

    Now that's just ridiculous. You're making no sense. Believe in evil? Evil is an act. A descriptive word. Nothing to do with spirits. Well at least not the spirits you're referring too.

    Religion is not synonymous with evil.

    FYI
    oxymoron |ˌäksəˈmôrˌän|
    noun
    a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., faith unfaithful kept him falsely true).

    Im watching keith barry on tv and he was using one. Its all a bit of fun with keith barry, its what he does.

    I've never used one, but my god, my mother freaked out saying its bad luck, she went on and on and it came from nowhere. I never asked her to freak out and give out to me over a stupid board. My point being it was a bit of fun with keith barry, how the fcuk did I bring this crap on for thinking its fun.
    They can be bought on Amazon, I told her so and she thought I was in the process of buying one and freaked out some more and told me "it wont be used in this house". I think she watched too many horror movies really.

    Is she freaking out over nothing? Has anyone ever used these boards.

    go on, use it i dare ya ...........

    Clicked on it, it's a "lucky 8 ball" style program based on the original William Fuld board game, randomly moves to yes or no. Not sure how that would have an effect on someone being a wimpy tosser or not.

    This is my experience with Ouija boards.

    This happened over 25 years ago but I will never forget it. I had heard my younger brother and sister going on about the Ouija board and how it really worked. I was sceptical and not really interested. One evening I came home and heard noise upstairs. I went upstairs to my bedroom and my brother and sister were messing about with the board and claiming that they had summonsed up a spirit. Sure enough the coin they were using as a marker was moving from letter to letter and spelling out words when they asked the 'spirit' a question.

    I wasn't impressed, convinced that they were subconsciously moving the coin to spell out the words they wanted. So I asked them if I could join the board, but first I wanted to blindfold them so that I could be sure that they were not moving the coin around the board. They agreed, so I blindfolded them with dark scarves. I also got them to look in the opposite direction of the board even though they were blindfolded just to be sure they could not manipulate the movements of the marker. They asked the board could I join. Unbelievably, the coin moved to YES:eek:. They could not see the coin, they were blindfolded AND looking away from the table. When I placed my finger on the coin my brother continued to ask questions. I instantly felt the coin pull as if magnetically attracted to the next letter on the board. I closed my eyes to assure myself that i wasn't the one using my subconscious to spell out a word. Every time the coin stopped I opened my eyes to see that it landed right on top of a letter. The coin would move again, I would close my eyes, only open them when the coin stopped and this continued until a word was spelled out. I looked over at my brother and sister they were still blindfolded and facing in the opposite direction to the board.

    The thing is , I was the sceptic. I really didn't want the board to work. I wanted to prove that it was bull****. But it did work. We had summonsed up the spirit on an Indian boy who was killed off a bicycle in 1956. We had a very interesting conversation with him. He was a bit of a prankster but a friendly spirit. The problem with the board is that you don't know if the spirit you contact will be friendly or not. If the spirit is evil and it does not grant you permission to leave the board then you have invited an awful lot of trouble into your life. It happened my sister a few weeks later. The spirit would not let her leave the board. Eventually she just walked away but our house was possessed every night until the board was buried. It's such a traumatic memory we never bring it up as adults.

    So for those of you that think that the Ouija board is just a toy, think again. It has opened my mind to the possibility that there is another dimension, something more that what we experience in this life, I am grateful for that. At the same time I say to anyone who is tempted to try it....tread carefully.

    I can still remember the force from within the glass that made us remove our fingers from it. We didn't have the power to stop it happening.

    The glass flew across the room.

    My advice is to leave them well alone.

    ....while those are ideas. See the difference? Real things actually exist, whereas ideas exist only in our heads.

    If you claim that 'evil' exists then where does it exist? Does evil manifest only in humans? It seems to. I know of no 'evil' horses, not even a tiger can be called 'evil'. Are Bot Flies evil? The worm which causes river blindness? Of course not, they simply 'are'. No star has an 'evil' planet orbiting it.

    Let me put it this way:
    Take a man and grind him to powder. Grind the powder to the finest dust. You will not find an atom of 'evil' in him. Neither, of course, will you find any 'good', any 'justice', or any 'mercy', as these are also human constructs which exist solely in our heads.

    Could they possibly have remembered where Yes was on the board? Try turning the board around next time, see if it works then.
