Ouija Boards? Options

[imm]

Has anyone tried Ouija boards before? What was it like and happened? I want to try one but I'm kinda scared...

If this is against some kind of forum rule or has been posted, someone can close this.

[inlonelinessidie]

I tried something similar to it back in the 6th grade. My friends wrote the alphabet, A-Z, on a piece of paper, then 0-9 below that. Above the alphabet they wrote yes and no with a heart in the center. Then we proceeded to 'chant' "circle around the heart three times, circle around the heart three times, circle around the heart three times," as we drew a circle with the pencil.

Once we did this our pencil started moving across the paper as we asked the spirit questions. Such as: what is your name? Are you a boy or a girl? etc. So we spoke to the "spirit", LOL we did this in the girl's locker room where someone died supposedly; personally don't know what to think of it. She swore she didn't move her hand, and I know I didn't move my hand . . . so I guess we talked to someone. Man I still remember the dude's name . . . freaky. lol

[imm]

Wow...that's so creepy. I would never be that brave.

[acidbreeze]

I think they're creepy, I've never tried one. I would need a group of brave friends with me when I do it.. :P

[inlonelinessidie]

We were not brave, just stupid. LOL

[inthemudhole]

Man.
I love Ouija boards.
I remember I made a topic like this a while back, and no one believed in them. T_T

I <3333 them.

[silver-rain]

well, i only used it once, and we were moving our hands around, so it didn't really work

[imm]

We were not brave, just stupid. LOL

Lol. I totally admire your stupidity.

Well, referring to what Brie said, I guess it can be kinda hard to believe that they're true and all cause they always say "You gotta see it to believe it."

[sweetdreamsx3]

Wait..so it REALLY works?

[inlonelinessidie]

Lol. I totally admire your stupidity.

Umm . . . thanks? LOL

Wait..so it REALLY works?

I guess they do.

[inthemudhole]

It works for me!
I've done it with 1 person once and then 2 people.
It worked both times, and I know it worked for real, because all of us were barely touching the planchette. (mover) So, yeahhh.

[ikayto]

I've seen many stories on the sci fi channel about demons being released and having evil spirits linger in the home after using one.

So, i'm too pussie to use one ahaha.

[imm]

You guys seem like a paranormal-ish bunch I suppose. Have you guys done anything else to contact a "spirit" besides an Ouija board?

Off topic maybe.

[*tweeak*]

man, i was so confused. i thought you were talking about a kind of forum because ive never seen that word spelled out before. hehe. no, ive never seen a real one, even

[imm]

man, i was so confused. i thought you were talking about a kind of forum because ive never seen that word spelled out before. hehe. no, ive never seen a real one, even

Lol. I've never seen a real live one, just pictures.

[imafreakinazn]

i personally think that ouija boards are evil. i'd never try them.

[me1issaaaa]

i want an ouija board.. mummy had one and her neighbors, who one was a pastor person and another was overly religious, made her go to sunday school and stuff cuz they thought it was the work of the devil... lol.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

no ive never tried one and i dont want too

[iheartsimba]

i have one..nothing creepy has ever happened though =/

//edit// acutally...i was just looking through my closest...and i found my old one....i'll get my sister later and we can try it =X

[xquizit]

I've tried it a few times... it really does work. It's creepy.

Oh yeah, you can make one of your own like someone mentioned above. I made one and used paper as a board and a protractor (sp?) as the pointer thing and it worked.

I always wondered though how they know if it truly is the work of the devil?

[imm]

About all this devil stuff...I was reading a site and it said that someone actually invented Ouija boards, so I don't think it's actually the devil's work. BUT maybe the devil inspired him to invent it? I don't really know, it's such a mystery.

[sammi rules you]

i've never tried them. i know i would like..completely freak out.

[ohBrian]

is this like playing jumanji? haha

[tsohg]

sad to say i have used a ouija board and it really works..

i dont do it anymore becuase i believe in jesus and i belive that the ouiji board is VERY satanic

[Mr. Psychotic]

lol i have one.....and my dad hates it when i touch it but i find them awsome...and my anti-christ friend is crazy about them but yeah man ouija boards own

[Saeglopur]

is this like playing jumanji? haha

That was a sweeet movie!

Anyway, I'm afraid of those..what if the spirit was like.. a poltergeist!

[Mr. Psychotic]

those ones that are circled are why some people are scared of them

[imm]

Oooh that's why it's thought to be satanic and all. Satanic or not, it's creepy.

[Mr. Psychotic]

hm.....pentagram

[F1R3B4T]

i never realli understood how ouiji boards can work, i mean the person is holding the pen or pencil isn't it?

[aznxdreamer]

were can you get it? cuz i dont see them at wal mart lol.

[Mr. Psychotic]

go to the parker brothers website...maybe because thats who made mine

[inlonelinessidie]

were can you get it? cuz i dont see them at wal mart lol.

Make one if you really wanna try it. It's boring though.

[captured_serenit...]

i could never do that...are you sure you didnt pee in your pants?? omg...i seriously would have...

[*hcosurfkid*]

yea i tried somethign liek ti called a Weegie Board.. It has the alphabet and # 1-9, and yes and no.. Then there is a triangle with a glass circle i it.. u can but it in a witch store fro aout 120$.. we ne ways.. we went to a Cemetary and played on a gravestone.. Madd scary.. and it was nite time.. We put the tuanggle on the board, and u put one finger on teh triangle.. u aske it a question, nad hte triangle moved, and whatever letter,#, or yes/no apperas in the glass circle in the midle of teh triangle is the answer. Suposiitaly the glass keeps the spsirt from escaping.. i dun..

[angel-roh]

[lookitskim]

yea... i have played with the quiji board.. but not exactly the game board.. it made it ourselves. And alot of freakin things happened. ONe of my friend who was pregnant... which at that time she didn't know she was pregnant. We contacted a lil boy.. named MoMo. He said his mom killed him.. and that he doesn't feel loved. Anyway, he was telling my friend.. that he's goin to be her son.. she didn't believe it... and he told her that... she's goin to have him in Jan. something. She got freaked out.. and he was like don't be scared "Mommy". OMG.. then a couple of months later she DID have a baby boy in Jan.

We used a shot glass to play.. while u are playing.. you'll see the glass is filled with smoke
Alot of crazy things happened, when we were playing it.. whatever u do.. DO NOT PLAY IT IN YOUR HOUSE.

I stopped playing with the quiji after i got haunted by one of them.. NO MORE FOR ME

What an experience. I would be sooooooo freaked out if that happened to me. I wanted to try it out at school since everyone says don't try it in your house, but if there's smoke....

[sunissed14127]

i want to try one...my mom said she had a freeky experience with one tho....

[Levy2k6]

i have never tried it YET but some day.. yeah.

[xbladeoffire90x]

I wanted to try it...but on another forum I saw a topic on Ouija Boards, and it scared the hell out of me, so no way...I might though with som friends...just not at my house...

[lookitskim]

do they still sell them anymore?! cause i wanna try this

THey still have them.. umm they sell them at K-mart (i remember seeing it there) and I also saw it at Spencer's gift at the mall

[heyyfrankie]

yeah i have tried a ouija board. but nothing happened for me. maybe we were doing it wrong...

[imm]

THey still have them.. umm they sell them at K-mart (i remember seeing it there) and I also saw it at Spencer's gift at the mall

Haha that reminds me of the movie "What Lies Beneath" when these two people have a seance and she got the Ouija board at Kmart. xD

[thesecretmodel]

What a scary experience..... Gets my heart racing I'm actually kinda interested in that sort of stuff... But I've never tried a Ouija board. My mom won't let me lol

[lookitskim]

It gets addicting... me and my friends was hooked on it. One time.. they asked for the lotto numbers. But she (the spirit) gave them the daily 3, and they won. They split the money 3 ways (except me, cause i want nothing to do with the money) but that lil girl asked them to promise her something... they have to burn money for her, so she can go free. They didn't make that promise.. and one night when they were sleeping... all 3 of them had a nightmare with a demon in it. They couldn't breathe.. cause it was choking them. When i heard that.. it freaked me out.. my friends had to go to the hospital. I had alot of experience with the quiji board. *shivers* but yea... Don't ever play in or near your house.. cause once u play.. the spirit will stay there for a while. I hate contacting lil kids . Those are the most scariest ones and all they do is want to play with you... and if u dont they get mad

I rather make it.. then buying it.. cause i heard that.. u cant get rid of it. Iono.. that's what my friends told me.. she was trying to get rid of it.. but for some reason it keeps coming back

[captivatedheart]

i tried it camping and it was really freaky (especially at night). i personally think it works, but that's just me.

[imm]

Not surprising that it's addicting cause it's dealing with the paranormal and I'm uber addicted to that. Runon sentence. I don't know, maybe when I try it, er IF I try it, I'm just not gonna listen to the spirits.

[JlIaTMK]

i tried one where u make a heart.... with a needle and u go over it.... it was quite revealing actually.... it said my dead aunt is my guardian.... so i duno.... it was odd

I won't be using those anytime soon.

Yeah, this girl got it for her birthday, and her mom yelled and screamed at us about how we were letting spirits in her house...

Wooo. Close one.

[imm]

For her birthday? That's so cool.

[Flaunted]

hahaha my friend had one.
it was funny.
and "krazy"
my friend who was doing it got freaked out.
and i think she threw it away.
haha silly her.

[lovemexnot]

i never knew they exsisted until now! they seem spooky, i`d never try

That happened to my mom when she used to read tarot cards. The spirits haunted her like so many times. I swear man she would kill me if she found out I did the Ouija Board.

I'm just not gonna listen to the spirits. 

Call me a freak but if you don't listen to them they will haunt you. Also when you want to finish playing this game you gotta ask them for permission to leave and most of the time they won't let you leave, like they'll keep say NO so you have to keep playing; it happened to me and man was that scary. Cause if you don't ask them to stop the spirit will still be wandering. So yeah you kinda gotta listen to them or else . . . it's pretty freaky stuff so don't do it unless you are prepared for what happens next.


The thing I hate is for some people they don't get haunted, but for other people they do. Sucks.

Ohmygosh that's so scary. Well, it figures. I guess you just have to come out strong, and not negative and you'll be alright. Thanks for the tip.

[elmogurly]

bad ouiji board. don't play with things that you have no real knowledge of. i've heard bad things about that. i don't want to sound like a prude, but just stay away from them!?!

[racegirl24A]

erm..after reading these posts, I dont think an ouija board is something Im going to try

[cornflakes]

Theres a cool Tarot card program on the Mac ;)

[imm]

Theres a cool Tarot card program on the Mac ;)

Does it work lol?

[NatiMarie]

I never tried it...I was once when I was 8...
This guy told me if I wanted to play...me, I didn't even know what that was, so I said yes.
We were going to make it out of paper. My sister came in and told me not to...good thing I didn't.
I'm scared of shlit [minus the l], like that.
=D

[aznxdreamer]

heres some scientific studies i found:

Some users believe that paranormal or supernatural forces are at work in spelling out Ouija board answers. Skeptics believe that those using the board either consciously or unconsciously select what is read. To prove this, simply try it blindfolded for some time, having an innocent bystander take notes on what letters are selected. Usually, the result will be unintelligible non-sense.

The clinical term is "ideomotor response." You may not realize that you are moving the message indicator, but you are. This is similar to automatic writing, also known as automatism, a well-understood psychological phenomenon. A spirit medium, in years past, would hold a pencil in one hand and pay no attention as it wrote furiously. Some believed that these written messages came from the spirits. Others felt that the messages came from a clever medium. At any rate, most proponents of the Automatism Theory think that it is very possible to move the planchette unconsciously. They claim that the Ouija board opens a kind of shortcut from the conscious to the subconscious mind. Collective automatism occurs when more than one person is operating the board. Automatists sometimes use the Ouija board as a tool for special humanistic psychotherapies as a way to foster growth by releasing ideas from the depths of the inner mind. This was particularly popular during the human-potential movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

[ichiban]

i've never seen one before ... i dont really get how they work and stuff. lolz

[starsun]

i tried it before..in 7th grade, i think. i remember my friend asking who my other friend liked and it spelled out this guys name and it was right. iono it was freaky though. i heard that after you play with the ouji board the spirit that you talked to will still be around..and you have to say some weird stuff to get rid of the spirit. haha i dont know if its true though *shrugs*

[lisaaaaaaa]

O___o wow....before reading this, i've ALWAYSSS wanted to try out an oujia board...now i'm quite freaked out.

[dani41790]

nah i too scared to. my mom tried it when she was younger and realli scary stuff happend exorcist also kinda made me get freaked out by ouija boards

interesting... i was suspicious before so i actually tried it blindfolded while someone read out the answers to me and they didn't make sense.

[NiKECHiQ]

my mom said she tired it once when she was young .... she said it really worked and shed never do it again


but i dont know if shes telling the truth .... hey parents do lie

Yah I saw this show on TV once where something was similar...You would put out your hand, and use a key or some sort of heavy weight on the end of a piece of string to determine answers. This guy would ask you something you already know, like: "Do you have a boyfriend?" And if the key swung the lengthwise of your palm it was a "Yes." If it swung the other way it would be "No." Afterwards the guy explained that you were subconsciously moving the string and key to the correct answer, since you already knew the answer.

However...a lot of the questions asked on the Ouija board are ones we don't know the answers to...so I don't know if my info helps or not.

[sunissed14127]

[aznriceboi]

[imm]

[inlonelinessidie]

Do it with someone at school.

[Spirited Away]

Many people feel that Ouija Boards are dangerous to use. It depends on who uses them and the entities they attract. Dysfunctional people will attract dysfunctional entities and should never use a ouija board or channel in any way.

^^ Came from the site given by Stately Lover... It doesn't sound like a bad thing unless you mean to use it in a bad way... Makes me want to try it out

[sunissed14127]

Do it with someone at school.

i just did....still didnt work....im thinking about mayb getting one off of ebay or getting one from a toy store or somethin....

[SarahxJoy]

Hm, I've never tried it. But my friend said she has, and that the lights in her house flickered out when she tried it, and she heard a door slam closed. She was home alone too and got really scared. I dunno if I'd want to try it. I wouldn't even know of where I could get one.
