Ouija Board

midgarmako · 09-15-2006, 02:14 PM

Im thinking of trying out a Ouija Board to contact my departed grandad who sadly passed away back in 1997, I never got the chance to really speak to him as I was only a little kid so I really want to contact him, it may work, it may not. Do you think it's a good idea to use one of these things? Ive heard really bad things about them...

If you enjoy the power of the devil I'd say try it out.

On a more serious note I have heard bad stories about Oija Boards I would not suggest using one.

Instead you could buy one of the other classic Parker Brothers games. Only stay away from risk that one can cause more bad feelings then even the Ouija board.

I have a ouija board. I remember when I got it years ago, my mother forbid me to use it. One of her friends used one once to contact her mother, and ever since she claims to see demons and ghosts or something.

I would've used mine a few years ago. But then there came a point where I actually felt I had something to care about in life and so that went out of the window. (The idea, not the board itself). My board isn't really a well-made proper ouija board, but I still refuse to use it.

I don't think you should use the ouija board. As promising as contacting dead family and friends sounds, it's not worth the risk of hurting yourself mentally or even physically because of making a mistake of using it...

Perhaps you should go to a professional. Somebody who often uses ouija boards. I would get in contact with a few professionals. That way at least you have different and more accurate opinions on whether it's wise to invest your time into something that seems so dangerous.

Just use it. I've had plenty of friends use them before, and they're fine now. I'd of used one myself, but I've never had the chance.

Don't try and screw around with ghosts that may be remaining from your family. There are barely any around, anyways. You'll either imagine some weird shit or get an ebil spirit on your ass.

Ghost aren't really anything, anyway. By Joe. Why don't people summon demons or try an Apocalypse nowadays? It's all ghost schmost. Puh.

Ouija Board is dangerous and must not be used by any human.Some may have survived from using the board while others get possessed and/or die later on.If those who answered you resembles who you want to see,they are only devils trying to bring us into damnation.If you make one mistake with the Ouija board,then say goodbye to reality and hello to hell.

There was a story before which was real and not fiction.A boy who was at a really young age,used the Ouija Board.The results?The board broke and he was posssessed by a devil.In every kind of way his parents tried to cure him using doctors and such but all of them failed.As a result,the boy died and the devil possesses someone else.That's all I remembered.

Well, despite all the horror stories of Ouija boards, they aren't as bad as it seems. They aren't of the devil, of spirits yes, but not of the devil. On top of that, if you don't know what you are doing, bad things can happen. The ouija is a passage to the spirit world, and while searching some things can get in you may not want there, but only if used wrongly. I don't suggest trying to speak to a specific person with it, but if you feel you must...do some reasearch into it. Find out some about it and how to use it properly and I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you still have questions...I'd be glad to help you out in some of them. ^^

Hmmm Ive heard only bad things about the Board but I really want/need to use one but im really having second thoughts now.

Well, use your own intuition, it's probably the best thing you could do right now. If you don't feel comfortable using it, then maybe it's best that you don't. Your own best judgement is the better deal in a situation like this. ^^

Personally I don't believe in anything supernatural because I've never personally encountered spirits or anything like that, plus I've always been taught that there is no such thing as ghosts. As much as I would like to have a conversation with a ghost I think its just a bunch of boloney.

Heres a scientific explanation that wikipedia gives.

I don't believe in it, but there's so many people out there who said they've seen or heard ghosts. I don't think they're real.

I was watching Penn and Teller's show the other night and they were talking about the Quija board. I personally don't believe in it because it seems very unrealistic. On the show, they had a professional type guy (lol) talking about how people subconsciously make movements and believe that it's the spirits guiding them or what not.

I like the little test they did where they blind-folded the people and let them use the board like that. After a while, they turned the board around without telling the people and they continued moving to 'yes' and 'no' but they weren't there because of the board being flipped around. Obviously it's not real then because they naturally move to where they think 'yes' and 'no' are. It's the mind playing tricks I guess, they believe it's real but it's not.

Interesting stuff.

This is through my opinions and knowledge from Ouija boards.

Ouija boards are still dangerous in every circumstances.Yes,you may see your dead ancestors and such but you are wrong.Devils have the powers to change themselve on how to look or what they look.And souls cannot wander off freely from their graves.We are playing with devils here and who knows what may happen to you.Ghosts or spirits you thought of are only devils playing with us in their trap.

When you use it,the devils will answer and not the others who you want to see.It's a dangerous tool and it may kill you or your friends with it.I strongly advise you not to use it under any circumstances.Even if you want to see your grandfather that badly.

If you still intend to use , I won't stop you.But just be careful with it.

Quote from Wikipedia :

Talking boards appear in countless books and movies. Their role in such varies from being a benign object to an evil entity. This demonstrates what an iconic part of culture the game has become. A more peculiar role of talking boards in literature stems from authors using the board to channel complete written works from the deceased.

An Example of an incident from the Ouija was taken from the novel The Exorcist.

well, i'm a wicca (witch) so let me clear up a few things. first, wicca is NOT satanism. we do not worship the devil, we do not use the power of the devil, and we DO NOT empower the devil by using magick. secong, a ouija board is a good choice, as it is much more reliable than one of those so-called 'mediums' or 'psychics' that you find in magazines and on tv. if, however, you do not feel too safe or comfortable using a ouija board, i suggest scrying. if you do scry, i suggest using earth or fire, as water is unreliable. earth would be the better choice if you are unexperienced in these matters, as it is difficult to control the fire.
