What do you think about the Ouija board? Tell me your true stories or the ones you know.?

Question

fisherman120 I agree with you, well I like the stories and still wait for more. :)

oldpepy well I am not but I am interested in these things as many other paranormal events... though for some are just normal. I ain`t making trouble if I ask one question. I don`t even think you know what "making trouble" even means... There are many arogant people here on Yahoo, I am not one of them.

edit: I agreed with fisherman120 beacuse I know that many unkown fenomenons are causing fear amonst people in our own reality, but I know too some overreact about these things. This is why I have agreed with him. I had these fenomenons too ocur in my life... not the ouija board something else but I stood calm. I don`t say you or anyone else who answered my question has a low inteligence, no! I am sure about that, you are normal people as normal is a general word...

Answer 1

It wasn't a traditional Ouija board, but I used a more elaborate new age version that worked the same way once. It was easy to do, but nothing spectacular -- I don't remember the results well enough to tell if it worked. Of course, I was experienced with ceremonial magick before hand, so that may or may not have made a difference.

I suspect most of the stories hearing this or that happened to someone are urban legends, and the bad feelings are purely psychological and based fantasy proneness. (Reminds me of someone who got bad feelings from "light as a feather, stiff as a board," a party game based on pure physics.) I have no idea whether the answers really come from "the other side," psychic intuition, or just your pre-concious mind.

Answer 2

It's merely a harmless game. Sometimes, it gets lucky and hits the right answer to a question, and mostly it doesn't. My parents played it before I was born. It told them I'd be a lawyer. Wrong. I became a teacher, and later a book publisher -- which I still am. At 65, I'm pretty unlikely now to ever become a lawyer. :)

To "Sybil_the_soothsayer" -- "Charcoal briquettes." ROTFL!!
I've gotta remember that one. It'll make a great bedtime story!

To "[e-mail]" -- Sounds like that girl knew a practical joker. Or else she was a sleepwalker. A shame she ended up barbecuing a perfectly good Ouija Board. If she didn't want it, she should have given it to a toy-collecting charity!

To MOST responders so far -- Are you folks KIDDING?!? Being superstitious over a harmless little toy... in the 21st century? Get real!

Answer 3

I have never experianced anything to do with a Ouija Board, but I know people who have, and after asking a question the glass exploded into his face, I know quite a lot of people who have ried using this game DO NOT! I cannot advise anything more than this, it is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! All the people I know who have been involved in this have died outrageous, unexpected and unhappy deaths soon afterwards. DONT DO IT! The spirits involved are earthbound, therefore they have not seperated from the world, for a reason, they are guarding something or someone that they have harmed or in fear of harming someone else, the only spirits able to interact on the Ouija Board are earthbound, which makes them dangerous, violent and evil. If you need to ask questions or interact with a spirit visit a medium! Though eager spirits might wish to show themselves to you through transfiguration on the medium, which can be quite scary, but is advised.
Ouija Boards are dangerous and I cannot guarntee a healthy, safe welfare for you after using. This is no joke, nor am I being sarcastic, nor am I lying.

Answer 4

I LOVE THIS STORY...

Ouija board! I heard that a couple girls were burned alive when they used one!
They were each 15 years old and snuck an Ouija board into the house and during a sleep-over party, they got it out and decided to contact the spirits...there were 8 girls there that night, ranging in age from 13 to 16 years old. The two girls took out the board and began to call for a spirit to come to the room...they asked it what it's name was and it spelled out PAZUZU, then they asked it if it liked them and the plancet moved to NO. They asked it to make it's presence known to them by a sign and a book flew off an upper shelf and hit the 13 year old girl in the head, hard! Then a spontaneous fire broke out in the corner of the room and the curtains ignited and in seconds the whole room was in flames! Most of the girls escaped with 1st and 2nd degree burns but the two using the Ouija board were burned alive. The screaming was so terrible! The smell of their burning flesh filled the neighborhood! Soon the firemen came to put out the fire... and when the terrible flames were extinguished, the girls were found, looking like big charcoal briquets, with the planchet wielded to one of the girls legs. The collie dog was found charred under what was left of the metal frame of the bed. This is what happens when the Ouija board is used by hysterical teen-aged girls with over active hormones! What do you think of this? Dangerous no?!!! A TRUE STORY!!!!!!

Answer 5

I lived in the Y.W.C.A. 20 years ago right after I got out of High School and had my first job.There was another girl there who had a Ouija Board. She got really spooked by some very strange happenings. She took it outside and threw it into the dumpster. A couple of days later she was getting something out of her closet. The darn thing was on the shelf! She didn't bring it back into the building! I went with her the second time she took it out to the dumpster. It came back a second time a few days later! We then took it out into the woods and burned it. It didn't come back after that. But she swore that the spirit stayed!

Answer 6

It's not a toy, nor a game and from my experience the stories you have heard most of them could be true, only an expert and VERY trusted people should be part of this, it can often be just the fear that causes the problems, never mind using the board

Answer 7

Many years ago I played witn one, with a friend. I had a feeling the thing was evil........that is, evil spirits behind it. God forbids this sort of thing, so naturally the enemy loves this sort of thing! The ouija would answer any question we asked it EXCEPT the ones concerning the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus. During those questions the board went erratic, and spelled out only gibberish. That would lead a Christian to believe that the devil, who inhabits evil things, hates the fact of the crucifixion of Jesus, and the fact that it spelled his eventual doom. These things are evil incorporated.

Answer 8

An ex boyfriend of mine did one with his friends once.

I wasn't there when they did it but something bad later happened to EVERY single member of the group who did the Ouija board and even I (despite not being part of it) had a creepy experience a few nights later when I woke up to see the figure of a boy in my room. Several of the people who'd taken part experienced a death in their family fairly soon afterwards.

I don't know if it was anything to do with the Ouija board or not but to be honest I would never take part in one. It was way too coincidental.

Answer 9

I made one because I wasn't able to get one and nothing really happened at all but during the night I kept having the feeling something was watching me and I couldn't sleep but it eventually went away

Answer 10

I heard of this, that a group of students play the ouija board. They invite the spirit to come but never follow the right procedues and let go at the wrong time. The spirit follow the last person whose finger let go of the board. Sometime, they attack him by trying to suffocating him.
