I've heard that the spirits move the pieces on the board game. What is this game? I would love to know more about it and if it is true too....I don't want an ignorant answer. I want real answers with actual experiences! Appreciate it!

I experimented with a Ouija Board when I was in college. It felt like the board indicator was moving itself, though the other two people kept saying it was the two others doing it. (You don't want to feel tricked) There definitely did seem to be a pull of energy that existed outside the people who touched the indicator. My experience was bad. I became obsessed with the occult, spirit writing, and Edgar Cayce but everything just got dark and depressing, even though I didn't discuss it with anyone that tried to make me feel guilty. I just began a spiral into a dark depression. Took me 3 years to get over it. I still wonder what went wrong.

The Ouija Board as a game was a byproduct of a fad in the late 1800's and early 1900's (otherwise known as the Victorian era). There was a fascination in the occult, specifically the ability to contact those who had died.
With the advent of World War I, there was a renewed interested by people wishing to contact those who had died during the war. The board itself was not invented by Parker Brothers; there have been thousands of derivations and types of boards that were used in communication with the spiritual world. Parker Brothers simply saw the opportunity to mass produce and sell these boards to the general public. Since it could not be marketed as a definative connection with the spirit world, it was marketed as a game to defy any sort of challenge that the board was not able to contact the dead.
I have never used a Ouija board, but I have been in the presence of those who have. It's hard to tell what it real and what is simply a product of those using it. However, I can say that what I saw simply reinforces the fact that I will never use one.

you can use a true ouija board or a sheet of paper. in case you use a sheet of paper, just write the whole alphabet in the upper portion with equal spaces between each letter, a circle in the center of the paper, the words 'yes' , 'no', 'maybe' , 'bye' on the lower part of the paper. then place a coin or any object that the 'spirit' can use to point out the letters.
pray 'our father' 'hail mary' 'glory be' without the amen in the end of every prayer. they say that if you say the amen, you will only be able to call good spirits.. but it's alright to say the amen (to avoid calling someone unexpected).
place the coin in the circle or in the middle and concentrate... and in your mind, say "spirit are you there" and wait for response. the coin should move to yes... if yes, then start to ask questions.
in this part that you already summoned a spirit, ask immediately where he/she came from... the answer you'll get is not his/her place that she/he used to live in but the place where he/she is now. (heaven, hell, unknown).
you can never know if the spirit is harmless and this is where the danger starts. this is the point of 'play at your own risk'. people usually play this when there are 4 people or more. the problem with this is that, usually, when you start this game, one of your companions will faint. it is said that, that will naturally happen because a spirit needs a temporary body to reside in to answer your questions and (unfortunately) a price paid for disturbing him/her.
just don't forget to ask the spirit to leave... make sure it said 'bye' too before you leave or it will stay in that room where you conducted that ouija game...
but personally, i don't recommend this. too risky and there's just a small chance that the spirit you are talking with is your dead relatives. some spirit disguise themselves as departed love ones, and trick people...
spooky really

while in high school i play ouija board with friend. although i try to connect with the spirit but somehow it doesnt work for me. but my friends does. first it a board with letters and numbers. it come with a small cup where everyone in the play places their hands on it to spell words the spirit answer. each person ask question and the cup will move your hand, you r not moving anything but the spirit actually answer your question by spelling out the word by moving your hand to the letter. like i say, i have no luck with the other side. when it my turn i did get my answer but i wasnt sure who do the moving, spirit or friends, so i dont feel any connection. my friends say you need to have concentration and be connected with the spirit, i try and still doesnt work. but overall, it was a fun experience. maybe i just dont believe in it.

I was in the room when my x in-laws played it. They asked questions about their deceased father and when it started spelling out his name and where he was they took the board and through it out in the trash. It is a real thing that spirits are a part of and if you want to stay away from witchcraft and the spirit world that has a negative affect on your life my suggestion to you is to stear clear of it. I know the things that happen when people play with that and other spirit world so called toys or games. Good luck with your decision because you know it is up to you what you choose to do.

A game using a board which is marked with letters, numbers and the words "yes" and "no." A pointer on a raised platform selects a character or word. One or two players place their fingers on the platform, which moves -- apparently by magic. Many conservative Christians believe that this game is profoundly evil and dangerous and that the pointer is moved by demonic forces.

It's a known fact that when all the participants close their eyes and 1 is writing down the answers nothing but nonsense comes out... proving that the people playing with the board are in fact making up the answers. They needn't even do it on purpose.

In the 1980's I played a board with a female friend - Once.
She asked who would be the father of her child, and it Gave my name.
I thought it was a come-on, but nothing ever came of it.
I forgot all about the incident.
Years later I recieved a letter informing me, much to my suprise, that I owed child support.( I had no children.)
It turned out the letter had been sent to me by mistake. The matter was cleared up with me never learning the identity of the supposed mother.
Years later I ran across this woman in a Walmart.
She told me that she, was the mother in question.
The woman had moved to Texas and become pregnant by a guy who had my same name, and a friend of both of ours working at child services had sent the notice to me, assuming that I, was the other guy from Texas.
I had started to laugh about this, when she said:
"Remember what the Ouji board said?"
I still get chills thinking about it.
