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.

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.

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

[Yemmerz]

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

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]

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.

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]

[cornflakes]

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

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.

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]

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]

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.

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
