The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Has anyone ever used a Ouija Board or know anyone that has, if so have you ever raised any evil spirits
or know any one that you believe was killed by one after they did a Ouija board or has a spirit following either you or your friend around?

A friend of mine did a Ouija board with his brother at 12 years of age he is now 24 and he has had an evil spirit following him around ever since and it will continue to follow him around until the day he dies.

My auntie was into Black Magic and she used a Ouija board with her friends and she also raised an evil spirit and it followed her everywhere for some years and she ended up dying of a brain tumor. after that i went on the internet and did some research on Ouija Boards and it says that they give you terrible diseases such as cancer and other life threatening ones.

I googled case study of evil parlor game boards, and nothing relating to death, disease, or even stubbed toes.

If you could post your key words that navigated your research, I would be thankful.

I did mess with a Ouija board when I was younger and believe it or not it told me the area in which I would find my biological mother. It did not give me an exact location but the general area.

As far as it bringing out evil spirits I don't believe so and I have not been diagnosed with any illnesses.

I will take a look for you cause I researched it quite a while ago, can't remember what website I went on.

Thank you TES! It would be appreciated. I have heard of Ouija boards being a gateway for evil spirits to enter the world but had never heard of the disease part.

Here is a former reference of mine.
Haunted Museum. There are a few good articles.

I have never messed with one, nor will I ever. I will also never allow one in my house. The only type of spirits, I believe, are the bad ones that come through. I've heard stories of objects flying off of walks and hitting the participants. One of my classmate's mother was actually attacked.

Kyriel..so you are basing your beliefs on what you have heard but not actually witnessed? Do not get me wrong as I am not discounting your reasons as we all are entitled to our own beliefs. I am just merely asking out of curiosity

I'm personally very interested in finding out about this since I have used not played with a Ouija board for many years. I never got an evil spirit that I know of but I have had 4 cancers and lung disease and heart problems and this started at age 19 and I'm 42 now.

Ouija Board. Mmm. The only comment that I can make is, if you are not ready to face the unknown, don't start messing with the Ouija. There are doors that can be open and trust me, to close them, you will need more then a priest. So, now, if you are going to do it, you must follow the direction step by step. You will need candles and some good friends that can participate during the ceremony. Good Luck. Let the clan of VR know about the outcome.

Ouija Boards are portholes that allow evil to enter. If you must use one then be careful and protect yourself.

Ouija Boards are nothing but a child's board game, I myself had one when I was a child.One of my friends told me that you cannot destroy a Ouija Board, I proved him wrong and set it on fire..........I never seen any evil spirits and I have never caught any illness from this.......It's all a bunch of crap if I say so myself.

I have used a homemade Ouja with my brothers when we were younger and I can tell you that it worked quite well. Just dont use one around black candles, they tend to burn out after just a few minutes. Guess the spirit of the board felt well... Bored.

Anywho, I did use a Ouja a couple of years ago and do remember that it was just a thing to get my (back then, anyway...) friends to believe the thing was real. The compass ended up shooting across the kitchen floor when I told them to leave the board alone after it was an open session. We ended up closing the session afterward when they saw the compass move without anyone touching it. Nothing like a flying Ouja compass to prove a point.

On a side note, the ouja spirits are not as malevolent as one would suspect. They are simply the nearest spirit close to the Ouja at that time. They try to get you to ease your mind about them by getting you to become their "friend" so to speak. Then things start to happen, and no... Not like the movie: Witch Board either.

Dont play around with the Ouja unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing and how to handle one properly. But no, I have heard of no such traumatic results from any instance of the Ouja's use.

End note: It does not matter about the make or model of any Ouja, they all work rather well if you know how to use them properly and appropriately. Parker Bros. is no acception to this rule.

My thoughts on this are if it was a porthole to bring in evil spirits or cause disease do you think that they would not sell them as a game and pull them off the shelves?

I couldn't agree with MaximusPain any more. I think it's a load of hype.
And will continue to do so, until proven otherwise.

I'm intrigued, in an earlier thread, you say you don't believe in an after Life, yet you ask of of Ouji board's??

That you ask that question suggests you believe in an afterlife.

Ouji Boards was a parlor game for the Spiritualist. They will tell you....the elderly ones they always used the protection of a Higher Power before using one. At this time the Spiritualist would gather in homes, for television was not invented at this time. They would have their weekly get togethers. I have been at a Spiritualist Church and have nothing against their beliefs, I wish to add.

Parker Brothers took the parlor game and made it into a board game that one could buy at a store.

Much has been said about them.

I have no proff of evil when I used one when I was younger....nor do I have a interest in using one now.

I had a Ouji board as a kid and they wouldnt sell it if they truly brought out demon and such. It is just logical fact that parents wont buy a dangerous game for kids.

the object of the game has gone from social icebreaker, to social hype generator.

I have used a Ouija Board Before and have never had any problem. You should know how to use one first though, ground and center and do a protection circle for protection. and always send back what ever you bring forth.

i would also advise caution the ouija board
can be a doorway for sensative people
one should know if one is
at the confluence of ley lines for example as these provide an easier entrance into this world
this is advise that came down from the native
cherokee side of my family regarding the ley lines as the ancestors alwatys found the way back there easier

I have used a couple with ZERO results. I think they are a scam lol. I mean i suppose it is made by marton bradley for a reason.

no offense to those that have had real experiences, its just I have never had one work for me.

It is just a source of entertainment. Nothing to ooh, and ahh about!

I used to be completly against ouiji boards, until I started doing Divination. Ouija boards are pretty much the same thing, but often used by people who have no real clue as to what they are doing.

When dealing with anything of this manner it is well advised to be grounded, and do a grounding incantation in order to protect yourself.

I used to do candel divination with my friends when we were teenagers, and automaticaly did protections over us all, imagaining a golden light filling our bodies before we began. My divination teacher was impressed I knew this when she began teaching me pendulum divination.

No, I will never use one ever. I don't want to be haunted by evil entities and they are hard to get rid of.

I have a Ouija board and what is known as a talking board.

The talking board is used to communicate with the subconscious.

The Quijja board my two children play around with, and have loads of fun. So do I, when I use it with them! This is just a toy and nothing more. I respect what others like to think, and a very long time ago, I thought that it was evil and had horrid things attached to it...lol

Now through tests which I and others have carried out, it has been proved pretty much to be a load of rubbish.... It can still be bought in toy or gadget shops, so no danger there, unless it's the devils plan Mwaaaaaaa......

Why yes i have many times once the board said there were 13 spirits present in the room the lights dimmed it got deathly cold .Creepy like

Our Talking Board channeled WC Fields .. Is he even dead? Anyway it was some grand material, and no one in the sitting had that much comic talent.

Yes, I have used a Ouija board. Used to own one. I kept until I started having weird things happen to me and my family. Once I got rid of it, those strange things stopped. But, I did not throw it in the trash. I took it to the thrift store.

Weird Things? If you would be so kind to pick one particularly weird event, I can see how it would enrich the thread.

My dad and stepmom were both extreme occultists of the divination of the black rhealm.

I was staying the night with them and they were messing with the ouija board.

Asked me to join them, I declined. The board taunted me, and said horrible things.

Finally, I asked Maria ( my stepmom), to ask it a question for me, "Do you rebuke God? And does he rebuke you?"

The shot glass they were using, flew off the board and shattered on the wall 2 inches from my head.

I read the rules later on, and they said, "DO NOT ASK IT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD, OR THE STAPLES OF CHRISTIANITY".

My question is, if it's not evil, why can't you talk about God around it, but any other religion, (I'm not calling other religions evils, just making a point)?

May I inquire, you mention " The Rules" where where the rules.

What rules are these?

Ouija boards sold off of shelves are mostly a bunch of crap. If you have a true board, then you can not destroy it, or get rid of it. My fiance's family has one that's been passed down through generations and it's beautiful. It's not made out of wood like the store's, this one's stone, thick and heavy with the symbols and letters carved in. It truely is beautiful.

He was worried about his old dog, Snowflake who had been missing for months, and called his mom and asked if we could use the board to see if she was alright. They've used the board many times I guess and nothing bad had ever happened before this. His mom, aunt, uncle and his great grandmother came over and we did the ceremony. I sat there like an idiot not knowing what to do.

We found out the general area where his dog was and we did find her five miles away in the muckland on Wager Road, NY. She was alive, but ary tired. She passed two months later.

Anyway, ever since we messed with it, we can't go into his grandmother's house without getting hurt, and I didn't belive in this stuff when we used it. I laughed and said 'Yeah, sure. Whatever.'

We tried burning it, smashing it, leaveing it in the next town over and burying it in the mud when the pond was low behind my house. Every time we'd find it back on his granmother's steps, so Tripos took it and hid it somewhere in the house where no one else should find it.

Now I wont go near that house. I LOVE weird things ^.^ BUT not when they try to push me down stairs. Not fun.

Ouija Boards are not something to mess around with if you ask me.
I was taught by my elders to not play with it. There are too many loose factors.
You never know what will show up; and it doesn't necessarily have to be honest with you either. So, I will just not go there for lots of reasons. You are better off with a sacred circle diagram on the floor, and I am not Wiccan, or a Witch, but you know what I am talking about. At least it provides some protection from unfriendly beings. I practice Native American ways when dealing with spirits and entities.
I have learned that when my elders speak, they are not doing it to hear themselves talk,LOL. So, I have learned to listen to the wisdom because they have ancient knowledge.

But each individual should do what is best for them.
=)

Wow this is interesting,

You see for me the board is a toy, nothing more....I had attempted years and years ago to get some nasty buggers...all I got was a stiff neck and a shag (long story) Still it made me go back!

TheMidnightSun you said that “If you have a true board, then you can not destroy it, or get rid of it.”

This is true, however only in the respect of, if I create art then I will not destroy my own creation!

Also because I'm a horder as well!

“We tried burning it, smashing it, leaveing it in the next town over and burying it in the mud when the pond was low behind my house. Every time we'd find it back on his granmother's steps.”

Ok at this point, I have to say “really!” Please go into more detail.

*Smiles* the real thing (I had a friend who would answer the phone like that)

When you say elders do you just mean old people? Because I know many very old people who are very wise of situations that they have been through. Some very old people think of the board in the same way as I do. That it's just a toy!

“But each individual should do what is best for them”

You mean each to there own, and of course your right ; )

.......mumbles...'wheres those dam peanuts'......shit..am I still on ^^

Perhaps if a ouija board spelled out, "this is just a toy"

One question the letters where carved into the stone, this was a slab of stone?

The object of the game? To break ice. Even the origin of the board is fabricated.

The common denominators in each testimony clearly indicated urban legend.

People will get defensive, and claim that someone is calling them a lier, but in actiality the account is usually in a here say narrative, meaning the person testifying is telling what they heard, from a source that is not present.

Nothing is ever presented beyond, generalized " Something weird happened."

Irrational fear, is bolstered by such testimony. It also serves the purpose of
refining ones own pitch.

I have respect for that kind of stuff , so i dont think i wanna mess with that!

It's just like tarot cards. If you don't know what your doing then don't mess with it.
Yes they can open up door ways but so can a lot of thing. Look up how to make a protection circle and then move forward. There are a lot of things that could and may or may not happen. Just make sure you mind is clear and what you want is certain. Don't invite any spirts into your home and don't get names. Most of all be safe.

I use one very often -
I've gotten through - I'm very careful and use a protection
spell Every time before using it .

Don't use them seen some freaky stuff when dealing with them.

Cadre, don't be shy, shed light upon your " freaky experiences".

Details make all the difference.

I feel so cheated, surely anything freaky supplies on with a impression for later account.

Not a good thing to mess with without complete understanding and knowledge as to what one is doing, conjuring up the dead.
If seeking spiritual guidence, an Angel board is a better resource and works the same.

Dab, a night of parting and things did go haywire, bad things unknown things. you know me, Heck I do not believe in hphotists or mentalist yet that night was well just alittle out of contol things happening for no reason. wether the alchol or wind or earthquake heck who knows. never touch them boards again

It is a ideo -symatic device. Meaning it engages a degree of seperation from those participating.

" Angle Board" What a Marketing Gag!

See how gullible people are?

Give people a chance to act out, and not be held completely accountable.

I sould mention I am rather amused at the trite sinerity of " As long as you use protection."

Where can I buy an Ouja board condom.

The object of the Game has become how ascared can you make others?

The one time popular social ice breaker hijacked by people who aim for sensational, and spectacular.

Your being humored by 80 percent of the people who have " freaky" " terrible things", and all the other uncommiting narratives.

The final 20 percent should be avoided they take themselves way too serious, and you will be left feeling shunned.

In the past such " I saw.." would be unlikely challenged, yet today ( the last 20 years) we have cameras on everything, and everyother " occursnce" would reasonably expected to be recorded..

It all a hype.

I have always liked Oujia boards, mainly as an exercise in social psychology.

They can tell you a lot about your friends and yourself.

I also have a question if anyone could help me with it. When my grandmother died i recieved a stone ouija board. thing wieghs a ton. i havent been able to find the compass to it and it always seems like the stone is warm to the touch. What should i do?

I think they are about as dangerous as a monopoly board.

My maunfactored board is a stone board which is beautifully carved and arrived mysteriously one warm summers eve! It is slighty warm to the touch and easy to clean as it has a glass top!

Well that's what I told the wife, she would of not been pleased to of found out that I had spunked 20 pounds on one!

Odd that she didn't believe me though and even to this day comments that I must have been possesed by the evil money demon, which is why I bought the board ^ ^

Sometimes we have cheese and biscuits and the board is used as a cheese board.

i've used one before and from my expirence and other peoples, I have come to conclude that these boards are way too open channels and really you could pull anything through them.

Yes dear as you can see, mine has pulled cheese and other stuff...Oy, who moved that beer...thought I had put it by the grapes lol!

I find the stock updates, and tips to be far better than "Money In The AM"

I really think I am going to upgrade to Ouija Board XP though.

Eventually I may actually attempt to apply the Ether Web Browser App.

People who simply use such ancient mystic items for the purpose of Social Discover, have no idea what is at their finger tips.

However there is always some one available to turn the who affair into some plug op for their current protection circle.. I would indeed check credentials, you wouldn't let a novice put firewalls on your computer.. don't let apprentices draw incantations to protect your very spirit, and the souls of your hyper expectant guest.

If a spirit had the strength to move the chip on the board,one could conclude that it has the strength to push a key on a keyboard.So why not ask the spirit to communicate like that?There is nothing mystical about a of piece cardboard and plastic.

For those who want to create small examples of group hysteria try the following exercise in misdirection, and simple rigging.

Prior to your " Noche Mysteriousa'" aquire two post office size bundle rubbet bands, and the most " invisibe" monofiliment string.

predetermine what central surface you will use for your Socialmancy activity.

With a simple piece of tacky tape attach the string to the underside of the
board. Attach the other end to your person, ( preferable the leg) allow a tension to tug at the board. Remove your hands.. Whoosh the board flips.. the tacky tape ( if the monuver is effective, vanishes.

By looping the palm with another rubber band, and hooking the pointer, just right it too will fly..

it is best to wait until someone ask a flipant question.

Watch the location of those that are the target of the performace, it is best to have them, " in cue" to be a sitter.

I've used my Ouija board multiple times. While we did raise "evil" or "malicious" spirits, we didn't talk to them, they were banished. The most that happened was one of the others we'd talked to followed me about for maybe a year and a half. She'd move my things around and repeatedly came to talk to me when I used my board.

My friend Cale used one once, and incurred an "evil" spirit. It's still with him. He can't seem to figure out how to be rid of it.

In all practicality, I have seen Sority mixers benift from Gatherings, I have also seen peoples personal hysterics cancel a planed gathering.

My Aunt gave me her old Ouija board, and when she gave it to me she also went over how to use it right. She told me the protection prayers to say, and to burn a white candle when using it. I still have the baord, it's actually in my home. when you use those thigns properly you shouldn't worry about anything evil coming through. If you do use it and feel something isn't right then just move the plastic piece to goodbye and the portal will be closed.

I have had a few weird things happen while using mine, a friend didn't have a white candle all she oculd find was a red one, we used it any way i thought what harm could it do, well within 10 min the board started to spin counter clock wise on the table, i moved the thing to goodbye and blew out the candle and wouldn't continue until she could find a white candle. Once she did we tried again and nothing weird happen.

there port holes for evil i had to get reid of the one i had.

Portals to hell, mass produced..? Has anyone gone bankrupt after a game of monopoly..

I think you should worry more about the health effects of using cell phones than that of an ouija board.As far as i know ouijas don't emit radiation or other electro magnetic fields.

Nonsense

I'm not going to read the other posts. This topic has come up many times prior and I have the same thing to say as before. Most of this stuff about the Ouija board is nonsense. It is a tool and only that. First of all one has to believe there "are" evil spirits that hang out just waiting for anyone to use a board. There are all kinds of these boards. Using a pendulum is the same thing and also using a divice with a writing implement is the same. How would anyone devine something was evil and sometimes people just get paranoid with preconceived ideas; superstition or too many late night movies like "Witch Board?" I have used the board with no negative happenings many times over an expanse of 30 years at least. My friends used it and some made their own boards, sometimes called spirit boards. Even though I believe in certain things I still cannot prove it wasn't our unconscious speaking, figuratively via that board.

Automatic writing can draw entities but no one really knows what they are. It is assumed they are evil for some reason but even with the OOBE that Monroe investigated he stated that some could shapeshift in the astral because they had mastered the ability to not be so attached to their physical form. He stated he ran into negativity there and in some cases could not explain exactly what it was but didn't jump into the premise it was evil. Some people and other things like to either pull pranks or scare people, doesn't make them demons. I believe some of them are living, and in another state of consciousness.

Even in the movie "Possessed" which was about the kid (a boy) they based the idea for the Exorcist upon, he was doing other things long before he used a board. His grandmother wasn't too careful. It just created an open door but it was there already. People basically have not learned to use these divices properly. Its not the board, it's the people using them.

"There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there."

Excellant quote.

When people are new to a social circle, a parlor party was planned, established members would invite " pledges" to mix with other pledges.

As mentioned earlier, the game Ouija was implimented as a third party buffer/ catylst.

The only "Geist" being a Socio-Geist, similair to a zeitgeist.

while some place ritual, and ceremony, others find that the roots of the board game is suffice, without all the mystic implication.

So my question to those who profess experiences remain the same. " What happened?" what was being presented ( out loud) prior to what happened?

Any time a question threatens to reveal some probing social dillima you can count on triggering " malicious spirits" to impulsively disrupt the sitting.

Then there are the people who take the op to declare how gifted they are, and how they need to use their ability to protect the party.. basically turning a mixer into a prayer meeting.

In such sittings people seldom depart with seed relations to build on.

Often those break down into debates.

This is all from observation, as a dispatch for a campus entertainment troup.

I found it better to use a game of scrabble to commune with evil spirits,and if they get bored with that we play sherades.However i am worried about the negative health issues associated with playing sherades with the minions of hell,i have found if things get out of hand just give them a rubik's cube to keep them busy,lol.

Yeah a friend of a friend of a friends Granddad, told me that he had a cube and terrible things happened to him!

He said that the moment he used it in the pub, all sorts of nasty spirits followed him.

Just recently I had a cube posted to me and it had lots of strange colours and on closer examination appeared to sparkle...Since I used it odd things happen to me now...like I lost my pants while skinny dipping at the local lake....like I didn't see anyone take them so it must have been an evil spirit!*Bangs head*

No one was harmed by making this comment, only the person who made it: *Grins*

If a board is used properly, and people pay attention. You can discover how
people associate by degree.

Often in sittings rumor mills are exposed. It is not uncommon for fair weather" friend" to be objectionable to playing Ouija.

I suggest watching Penn, and Teller BS Ouija Boards.

Got to be careful with those cubes,and to top that stay away from the pyramid version as well.People have complained of headaches after trying to solve one.Must be those evil spirits again.

I have never used one. Seen plenty of them of course but never used one. A friend of mine told me when she was little her and a couple of friends of hers were using one and it burst in to flames. They threw it out the window and it landed on the sidewalk but she said there had been a face in it. The house she was living in is haunted I believe as well...if I remember correctly.

I would be impressed to see such an event, I would have to consult my Ouija board if I was just told of such an event. I would want to know exactly what inquiry started the fire.. I could grill cheese sandwiches on that.

I used to own a Ouija board and I used it.


After I really did some research on it.

I gave it away right away.....
It's a portal for anything to come through.
I'm not taking my chances!!!





Lady horror

LMFAO

I'm so bloody jealous, it's a portal is it......sort of reminds me Jamanji...is that spelt right...

One day people will believe that there is a board like that which will suck you through it's portal.

When reading the topic I wonder if people actually read others responces or just post there own comment!

Now to open it a little
(IMR) Ideo-motor-response people and nothing more!

Perhaps I'm being closed minded on the subject...No I don't think I am, because all the evidece points to the board being utter nonsence.

its a tool like a pocket knife

you open it to begin

if you dont know how to use it you could get hurt

if you fuck around with it you could get hurt

if you dont believe in it and only go at it half hearted its the same as trying to cut something with a the knife still folded.... it wont work

dont use it drunk

no matter who makes it it not a toy don't let a child use it

destroying it is just dumb

if you know have to use it it can be helpful

some one who has used it a lot and taken the time to study how to use it can can can master it

but even a master can get hurt if the lose focus

close it when your done

.So it has come to this has it?

“If you don't believe in it, it wont work”

Lmao, oh please that is sooo lame!

“Dont use it drunk”

Dam, lol that's where I go wrong!

“If you fuck around with it you could get hurt”

Well I've had nought in over thirty years that has hurt me yet!

“it not a toy don't let a child use it”

I used a board as a child, my two children now use one with me....and it is a toy! (It helps with their spelling) Lmfao!

“Even a master can get hurt”

Master what? I'm thinking of Captain Pugwash now...you know...seman stains and Master baits!

Just my thoughts again...

I don't think the ouija will work for me because if my walls start bleeding,things get thrown around by unseen hands,i would make some money off it."Welcome to the house of horror,for ten dollars you can witness the demonic in action"So you guys that have these problems let me know how you do it please.If you have a board that can't be destroyed,you should call the James Randi foundation because their is a million dollar check waiting on you if you can prove the paranormal.

So, what do we have so far in this thread ?

1. Some believe the board is a toy.

2. Some believe the board is a tool.

3. Some believe the board may be a portal or magnet for evil.

4. Some believe severe illness menatl/physical can be caught from using the board.

5. Some believe that certain rules must be followed to use the board safely.

For the record my friend and I used one years ago, in an attempt to see if it were possible to contact those in spirit.

That's just what happened, our curiosity was satisfied and I never felt the need to use the board again.

So, take your pick people.

Perhaps those that believe it is a toy, game have no real knowledge in it's use. I've messed with those as a teen and watched two kids actually get transported to a hospital, one in a coma for five days. That was pretty F'n hard to shake of as a hoax!
The other couldn't stop throwing up, had severe stomach pains/cramps.
Yeah, they thought it would be cool, funny, or what ever to use it to demand the devil come forth and prove to them his existance!
All of our parents were furious with us and burned it.
Never touched one since then!

When I was in my teens I had a glow in the dark oujia board. I never came down with any illness or evil spirits.

I've used a Ouija board. So far, nothing terribly wrong has happened to me, aside from problems I've had since I was really little. It didn't really tell me much, though. From what I've learned, Ouija boards aren't necessarily evil. It all depends on how you depict them. They're basically a divination tool with no select side.

i heard a rumor one time pretaining to the parker brothers brand ouja boards that there is a line of spirits in the factory and when the lamination is stamped to the board a spirit flys between the board and laminet... this makes for interresting ideas far as i am concerned, to those who dont believe your intitaled to your opinon i do ask you be respectful of the believers some people have to much going on in thier head and cant clear it to make contact to channel the energy needed to move the planchet

one personal exp was i had a home made board that was ornately designed and it was one inch and a quarter thick while trying to bring forth family members and such the board snapped in half and my bird went off like a mad dog growling and such the closer i brought the wood towards the bird the more he flipted out i threw the thing away and found my self sleep walking trying to mend the thing

There will always be those that beleive or dont believe as it has been stated in this post its a parlor game made by parker brothers... ok well sure there is that ok then what about the hunfred of tarot cards that are made by diffrernt companies, not that I acually need tarot cards to read it can be done witha simply deck of cards...


Yes I have had several spirit boards over the years many which were not bought at walmart or such but home made ones and yes i did get the responces that I needed yo hear whjen they were used . so take that as you will.

I have to agree with Penn & Teller here and call them BS.

This must be the umpteenth time this topic has come up in the forum. This particular form of tool, (like tarot cards, pendulums etc.) has come up repeatedly and I think it is because it is one that you see in movies most often which are purely fantasy. First you have to believe there are evil spirits. Not everyone is into black magick and that is relative in assumption anyway. Many believe magick is magick and there is no black or white and if you have to colorize it most practice in the area of gray anyway. The board is a tool, any form of communication used to contact spirits or tool to give readings will leave you open if you are a novice. I firmly believe some is about belief. I have used a Ouija board hundreds of times with no negative effects and so have most of my friends. It isn't just so called black practitioners that use them...the spiritualists and what some refer to as white lighters use them as well.

It's always a good thing to clear the board and place up visualizations, a barrier to anything you don't want to bother you; like discarnates that pull pranks. You leave yourself open if you do automatic writing, anything...the board is NOT dangerous, it is the person using it that is causing the problem.

I do use that almost the time is funny but is worse too if you treat what you talk to sirously and with respect you'll be fine but if you mess you'll see the most worse than die lol is nice to use it

Wow, don't we have some adimate hecklers, in our midst.

It's easy to criticize, ridicule, and belittle people, and try to sound intelligent while doing it. So people don't try/want to defend themselves.

Does it make you feel like big boys? Do you want a lollipop?

Most, of the time such objects don't work for people because they are a skeptic who bides their time in disproving and debunking such things.

Instead of letting go of rationality, and allowing themselves to experience something beyond themselves. Then when all is said and done, you can come to a decision with logic AND experience/encounters.

Yes, I believe in ouija boards, tarot, pendulums, etc.

And they do hold a balance of positivity and negativity. But the negativity out weighs the positive.

It may be because some items are truly malevolent items to begin with.

Or because the person didn't use them right.

Or they allowed evil/malevolent energies to come through.

Who knows?

In order for life to be a mystery, frustrating as well as pleasuring. Some things must stay as a constant unknown, if everything was a known, where would the intrigue go?

That's why we need skeptics and believers.

But we don't need one to try and out shine the other.

It's about balance and indulging with sharing with others.

Bloodmother I think what you said has made the most sense here.

The Ouija is a game made by Parker Brothers In Salem MA. I've been to the plant because I grew up there.

Now If your talking about a Witches Board, which the Ouija is based off of then your talking about a hole different thing.

Both need a open and receptive person weather your using the game or the Witches Board. Laurie Cabot on of the countries most well know authorities on the practice of Wicca, has been a generational practitioner of Wicca. She has taught her student, which I was one of for years until I moved, Many different tools for divination. That is what it's primary use is. It is neither good or bad. It is all based on the user and their intentions.

Like anything else there are rules and guidelines for it use. If one doesn't follow them or understand what they are doing of blatantly disregard them then folly my become them. Like anything care should always be used with thing people don't understand.

Wow, I find it interesting that humour can be brandished as heckling...My apologies if I have offended.

Yes I do want my lolly pop, my passion for the board has been shown by my use of language and by my response using the humorous and some what overpowering statements that I have presented concerning this topic. I am not outshining, I am very simply sharing the results that I found. Did you not read my disclaimer lol

Out of interest, what documented truth have you found about the board? I'm still looking for cases....that will prove to me the board is a real device for communication between the spirits and us. I have never found any yet!

I have been involved with the Witch Board, Ouija board, Talking Board, Devil Board,....what ever label it has been given for over twenty five years, there is your experience. Also I have been involved in tarot( I hand made my cards) pendulums (Hand made), as well as many other tools, for as many years.

I have never heard something so comical than a person stating non belief, being sceptical and debunking, for reasons as to why the board doesn't work! That being said, I admire you for your passion and your response concerning my response and others on this subject.

Do things need to say as a constant unknown? My response to this is no they don't, the intrigue is finding out about the subject so that one becomes educated in the myth, logic and fact!

As I mentioned, I once thought the same way as many here, I honestly thought that it was the spirits that were in communication, some evil and some good. Around about the age of twenty things happened in my life and I wanted answers, so I sought out the truth. I read about the power of the subconscious mind and about IMR*

I was devastated, probably as devastated as some people were when they found out the world was in fact round and not flat! By the way, did you know that some people still believe that the world is indeed flat and not round? They look upon us round world believers as being closed minded and sceptical.....interesting.

*I suggest you look at ideo-motor response in Wikipedia and I would be very interested to read your thoughts on this.

my experience with the quija board niether a good one or a bad one i do take mesures to protect myself and those around me and I do agree it is with the intent that youuse it that things may happen

If anyone could show me they can get something truly useful
from an ouija board i would change my stance on the issue.All i have seen so far to come from its use is overactive imaginations.I had a friend who claimed he had a board that could not be destroyed,guess what?I destroyed it with no problems. Anyone else have a problem with a board that want die,let me know i will give you my address and you can ship it to me and i will send you video evidence of its demise.
This my stance until someone can prove other wise.I'm not one to believe anything with out question,i have no problem tipping sacred cows.All i need is proof,thats not to much to ask for.Better yet,ask the board for my address,or even my middle name,and if you get,i will post how wrong i was.

Ok..

The thing to remember about a Ouija board is that it's basically CB for the spirits..those who have not crossed over. They will pretend to be anyone or anything to stay on this side.

They can't maintain any real energy unless they can provoke an emotional response from us and draw from that energy. All they want is an audience to play to. If they get it, they stay close to us..forming what some call attachments. And yes..they can follow you around.

The good side is that they aren't very strong at all, and they can be driven away. Personally, I don't put much stock in anything told me by someone on a CB pretending to be my Uncle Calvin..and the same goes for a Ouija board.

I've never seen one work in my presence, and twice, I have walked in on sessions at parties and the board stops talking. One of the times I had a distinct feeling of a "presence" fleeing... I told the group that the last thing it just said was true, and that it is gone, and won't come back tonight.

*laughs*

I don't know what it was, it wasn't specificly malevolent, but it did feel alien. I don't usually believe in spirits in that way, it's counterintuitive to me, so they don't fit in my cosmology neatly.

diamon, I like your rules... sounds like penis instructions!

"If you dont know how to use it you could get hurt

if you fuck around with it you could get hurt

if you dont believe in it and only go at it half hearted.... it wont work

dont use it drunk

don't let a child use it

destroying it is just dumb

some one who has used it a lot and taken the time to study how to use it can can can master it

but even a master can get hurt if the lose focus

close it when your done."

Although, I think I would change the last one to, "WASH it when you're done." ;)

*lol, coughs*

Ok right , Still I'm look for proof about the board and so far none has been given. Perhaps with Tv and video we could actually capture a board producing an evil spirit....

Or by now one would of thought that it would of been done....unless the spirits are camera shy *chuckles*

Heh... I am not sure how a 2 dimensional creature would explain themself to a 1 dimesnional creature... let alone a 1 dimensional creature descibing an encounter it had with a 2 dimensional creature, to another 1 dimesnional creature.

To deny that teh encounter occured, simply because it is not explainable, seams illogical. The lack of reference points makes it nonunderstandable to teh lesser experienced. It seams feasable to believe there are things which we cannot explain, than to believe that that which we cannot explain, is improbable.

My best friend and I used one and she summoned a dark spirit named draco and my body was taken over and my spirit trapped in a coffin like space I felt horrible and found to my horror that when I returned to my body that Draco had used my body to attack my friend and harm her physically we have not used a board since that day. We got some of our friends who are wicca to put wards up so that it could not happen again.

I've used a store bought ouija board and a home made one. I normally use them to summon spirits in people's homes who want to communicate with them, or to talk to lost friends who have passed. You don't actually need a ouija board for this, and I've had nothing bad come from it other than something being thrown through a window when someone outside the circle approached, but other than that, nothing bad came from it. I've always talked to good spirits through it and that was it...or they were just willing to communicate with me and therefore didn't come across as evil.

My family won't use them as when I was 10 my cousin and I used one for the first time, before I really knew anything about them, and we were using it and she said that we needed to close it, and I asked her why, and she said it was a hoax and that her mom just told her this horrible story about it to scare her, and now that it was opened she saw that her mom lied, and that's when she started throwing pieces back into the box and the power went out, and there were footsteps outside the door, and the handle started turning, but then as I put the pieces back on the board everything went away slowly.

And as for destroying a ouija board, you can if there's nothing possessing it, but once it's possessed by someone who will not allow it to be destroyed, then no you can't. I tried helping a friend get rid of his, and everytime we threw it away or what not, it ended up right back on his desk where he kept it. After so much of that, I opened it up and used it, and found out that he had disrespected a spirit and we had to cleanse the air before it could be destroyed.

I think a lot of it working and not working also depends on whether or not you really believe in it all, know what you're doing, and open yourself up to it all.

I have an Ouija board myself I bought a long while back while still in high school, I believe my late freshmen year. I've used it with some of my friends but I've never used it alone. We've never had any problems with evil spirits being summoned (and surely thankfully on that) but then again we also always cast a circle of protection before using it. All my other friends also have one as well, though if they use it themselves, I don't know. A couple I know don't just like I don't. And we've never had any problems of illnesses or diseases either.

I do know that my mother used them too when she was younger with a friend. She had an interesting experience when her friend excused herself for a moment and left the room and my mother was sitting on her bed waiting for her to return with the Ouija board several feet away from her. She said the pointer thing suddenly started moving slowly across the board before it was picked up in the air by something and thrown across the room at the wall. When her friend returned, she asked what that sound had been and my mother only pointed at where the pointer was laying at on the floor and told her what had happened. She's never had anything else like that happen to her and she's never had any problems with evil spirits, illnesses, or diseases either. *shrugs*

My story starts at a Halloween party a few years ago. We were playing the game, and that night we had "found" two spirits- a Female named Jane, and her Ex- boyfriend, Kleet.
Jane was a kind soul- Kleet had threatened us, but before the night was over, Jane had cleansed all of our homes of the evil spirits.

That night, when we got home, my sister had gone to put her candy in a box that she had not opened for a few months.
When she opened it, there was a piece of paper with every answer Jane had given us that night, in a handwriting that neither of us recognized.
A few days later, there was an incident.

We were trying to contact her, to find out exactly what had happened the night of the woman's murder.
We closed our eyes to focus.

In my head, it was exactly like a movie playing.
Kleet had murdered her, then he comitted suicide.
Almost dying myself, I was able to free her soul, and she is now my guardian spirit.

She doesnt visit me too often, but I always know that she is there- like a sense of security.
There have been a few "freak occurances" Where she definitely lets me know that she is with me, too.

You think that I am lying?
I swear that this is true over my grandfather's grave.
