Do you have any real personal stories about any of these? I am tired of crackpots on t.v. trying to get attention and countless blurry video and photos are a joke.
I played with a Ouija board in H.S. a couple of times, and that thing really does move on it's own and answer yes or no questions. The 3rd and 4th guy would leave the room and pick a number, the Ouija board got it right 5 out of 7 times. Those were quite disturbing episodes.
A buddy of mine said he saw his dead grandmother in his room once.
Anybody?

Ghosts
I lived in a house where three people died, and there was alot of freaky stuff that went on there. There were always voices day or night. Every morning when I would wake up hearing a tapping noise going all the way down the hall until it got to my bedroom door, when the noise got there something pushed my door open about a foot. Then I would be sitting on my couch looking down the hall and I would see a dark shadow run out of the room, and go into the next room. I would follow it into the room only to find nothing. Upstairs there was a spot where all of the hair on your body would stand up right and you would be cold as hell. Once at a friends house I saw two ghosts of small children, but that wasn't as creepy as seeing a face come out of a tree at me though.
Magic
Just watch Criss Angel, the guy is amazing.
Big Foot
Well I went to school with a chick who had some big feet.
UFO's
I have seen several but the one that stuck in my mind was a couple of years ago. I was laying in a hammock in the yard watching stars when I saw a blue-ish light travel across the sky extremely fast then it stopped about 300 yards above me. I didn't see any aliens or anything like that but the ship or whatever was triangular with concave sides and the light came out of the sides. It hovere above me for a couple of minutes before it took off straight upwards into the sky until I couldn't see it. NO I WASNT ON DRUGS. I waited there in the hammock for about fifteen minutes and it returned just as fast as it appeared the first time. This second time it hovered for just a few seconds before it took off again. I went inside to tell my friends but they didn't believe me. But thats what happened.
Ouija Boards
I have only played with these a couple of times. I have had the same results as you except one of the times I asked if there were any spirits there. It said yes and began to move around alot not stopping on any letters or numbers before the eye flew out of our hands.

The building where my mom lives was built in the early 1800's. The third floor, which is now her apartment was once a brothel. The story goes at a fire burnt the brothel one day and it hadn't been used until my mom renuvated the house. Anyways... I was sitting in her kitchen one night drawing and I look up and there's a lady watching what I'm doing over my shoulder. She was wearing a full length blueish dress. She didn't bother me, so I didn't bother her. We've seen her a couple times since and have nicknamed her Rose, since she is often accompanied by the faint smell of Roses.
My grandparent's house is also haunted, but I can't say why. It was built the year I was born. When my granddad got his first digital camera he snapped a photo of the balcony. He downloaded the images to the balcony and there's a man looking back at him. A digital [photo can't be double exposed to my knowledge. I should bug him to upload that sucker somewhere.

I think the ouija boards are evil, I did them a few times when I was in highschool always right after It seemed I had bad luck. I won't touch another. As for ghost I have seen some. On bigfoot I have no clue if he is real and UFO's I don't think were the only rock in space that has life form. too many sightings and there is other galaxies and they have not been explored and won't in my lifetime.

One night about 20 years ago, my girlfriend, room mate and I heard the sound of a small child/toddler running down the hall. After hearing it I got out of bed to see if it was my niece who was spending the night, she was supposed to be in bed (she was about 6 at the time). Anyway as I opened my bedroom door, my room mate opened his door and said "did you hear that?" and I responded with "you mean a small child running?" and he said "yes"
We checked on my niece but she was sound asleep. We then checked the whole house but found nothing.
One week later during the day time. My room mate and I both heard someone walking up the steps to the back deck. This was a surprise because nobody ever used the stairs cause they were in need of repair. We went to the widow to see who it was, but again there was nobody there. The really strange part was... As we were looking at the stairs and seeing nobody, we could still hear the foot steps coming up the stairs!
This really happened to me/us.

Magic.... eh. Big foot mythical creature who knows bout that. Ouija boards just a lot of hype...... but this is where you get me pissed off!. U.F.O's stands for unidentified flying object meaning it can be interpret by anything flying in the sky.... Boggy i think you meant ET(extraterrestrial) and if you read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial it might explain about Life and yes i mean life not "possible" life like most skeptics like yourself call it. Beside this documentary i saw on TV said if alien beings were advance enough to visit this planet they wouldnt even consider us a threat. just a bunch of ants on a meaningless mud planet.

I've had quite a few experiences with the supernatural. I do hate the fact that TV is trying to capitalize on this all the time showing nothing but fake stuff that's designed to keep you in suspense so you can keep watching.

Ouija Board - The History of the Ouija Board
What is a Ouija board? Ouija boards came into existence as a parlor game in the mid-1800's, when spiritism and channeling were at the height of fashion. The word "Ouija" is a blend of the French and German words for "yes." Adolphus Theodore Wagner first patented Ouija boards, sometimes referred to as "talking boards," in London, England on January 23, 1854. In the patent, Wagner called his invention a "psychograph" and its purpose was to read the minds of people with "nervous energy." By 1861, Frenchman, Allan Kardac, was describing the Ouija board as instruments with which to open communications with the spirit world. In seven short years, the Ouija board had evolved from a mind-reader to portal of communication with the dead.
Modern Ouija boards were developed by inventor William Huld. Huld sold his patent to Parker Brothers in 1966. Ouija boards, as we recognize them today, look nothing like the original prototypes. The 20-25 million Ouija boards sold by Parker Brothers consist of a rectangular game board that is covered with a woodcut-style alphabet, the words yes, no, and good-bye, and the numbers 0-9. Also included with the "game" is a heart-shaped plastic planchette. The planchette is the 'pointer' that is supposed to glide over the board under the direction of supernatural forces and form comments and questions by pointing out questions and comments. Parker Brothers has marketed Ouija Boards under the tagline, "It's only a game - isn't it?"
Ouija Board - The Deception
Satan and his demons can use the Ouija board to give advice, or even to guide a person in a certain direction. This guidance will even seem to be true, good, and helpful. Satan and his demons pretend to be caring. They try to appear as something that appears harmless. The Bible says, "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve" (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
Satan and his demons will do this in order to get a person even more deeply involved in spiritist practices. Things like the Ouija board appear to be innocent at first, but soon a person finds themselves addicted to guidance from the spirit world - thereby allowing Satan to control and destroy their life. 1 Peter 5:8 warns us, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." The Ouija Board may be advertised as just as game, and that is exactly what Satan wants us to believe.
Ouija Board - The Truth: Are they Evil?
Sadly, many people are deceived into believing that Ouija Boards are just a game. The truth of the matter is that God views channeling, or consulting spirits or the dead, to be a serious sin. Deuteronomy 18:11-12 says that anyone engaged in these practices is "detestable to God." According Old Testament Law, the Israelites were supposed to stone (execute) anyone who was a medium or a channeler (Leviticus 20:27).
Why does God take such a hard line on things like Ouija Boards - something that many people view as a game? In Isaiah 8:19-20, God says this: "When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? …If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light…" God points out that we need to come to Him for answers. Because God is omniscient and omnipresent He knows everything and He is in control of everything. Asking charlatans and unknown entities for advice can be worse than fruitless; it can be dangerous. God wants us to trust Him!

Quija boards should not be played with, that's the darkside. I have had many experiences with the spirit world. You just have to be open minded. And ask to have the heavenly light to protect you. Sometimes if they know they scare you, they will stay away, so you can't see them.

My young cousin used to talk to a woman in his house when he was about 2yrs. When his mom asked him about who he was talking to he said it was Grandma. Well, she had passed about a month or so before he was born and it was still too painful for her pictures to be out in the house. My cousin had him look at the family album with no set way; just him flipping through, and he pointed to my aunt and said that was who he talked to. She had been so looking forward to being a grandma, we guess she hung around long enough to be one for a bit.
