i am trying to find out for myself and wouldn't mind having a supernatural experience. my sister has forbidden me from using a ouija board but i'd still like to have some sort of supernatural experience. any suggestions of haunted houses to go to in the western united states? or any stories to consider while coming to my own conclusion?

Yes.
If you go to India, (a crowded country) there are a lot of ghosts. My friend saw a brahma rakshasa, (a type of man eating ghost creature). Those are very dangerous and the villagers are afraid of them. They blow conch shells and bang gongs and shout God's names to chase it away. (It is the spirit of an evil priest who died and it has webbed feet and evil appearance.
Another friend saw three beings who were like brilliant balls of light, hovering above the Ganges river and going toward the Himalayas.
In one building where murders accured, (in U.P. India Mathura) Many have witnessed ghosts.
There are things that happened to people here in Hawaii also. Too many accounts to note here.
I played with a ouija board and it was frieky. I don't know if it was real, but FREIKY!!!
Ghosts are people who died. The way a person becomes a ghost is that they commit suicide, die intoxicated or die before they were supposed to (I can't remember the other reasons but there are a few).
Ghosts also must die after some time. After the ghost of a person dies, they can either go to heaven, go to hell, or take another birth on earth.
Cremation is good. It helps release the spirit.
You can't find all your dead relatives because not everyone becomes a ghost.
Ghosts are miserable. They have the same feelings and desires they had when they were alive, but they cannot fulfill them. They cannot eat or sleep or anything. Some ghosts just moan and cry . Some ghosts don't even realize they are dead!
There are many different types of ghosts.

No, I don't believe in ghosts ... or at least I believe that many reported sightings were just wishfull thinking.
I mean think about it: A chance to talk to you long lost dead relatives ... Ghosts must exist, right?
The Ouija board is is little more then a manifestation of the twitching of the minor muscles in the hand of the participants.
You want proof? Lets say you have 4 people in a Ouija reading ... tape 4 pieces of string to the the Ouija indicator, have each person hold one string (but not tightly) and then wait for something to happen.
You'll be waiting awhile.

You know, ghosts and seeking out ghosts and all that are entertaining--and the western states of the USA certainly have more than their share of ghost tales. Is it surprising, with all the slaughter of native Americans, the 'Wild' West period, the migrations? Rather than giving over to a silly Ouija board, read the many collections of ghost stories. And your imagination, not forget your own imagination. Be well, be forever well.

No, I don't believe in ghosts. I don't live out west, so I don't know of any haunted houses out there. Get the 1st season DVDs for the Showtime show "Penn & Teller: Bulls**t!", and watch the first episode, 'Talking to the dead', and the 12th episode, 'Ouija boards and NDEs'. That should sort things out.

Ghosts, or anything of that supernatural spectrum dont really exist, so to speak. A ghost is a demon. Angelic creatures cast out of heaven. By attempting to contact them, youre putting yourself in a dangerous position. Youre allowing not only your mind, but your body as well, to the whim of the demon. For good or ill.
I dont know how you would go about contacting them. And it is no way my position to tell you not to. It is though, in my opinion, that this is very dangerous, and generally not a great idea.

yes, I believe that there are ghosts...I advise that you do not play ouija board period....playing ouija board will conjure up spirits and in many cases, "unwanted" evil spirits and you will deeply regret it. If you google search, I'm sure you can find some real haunted places or homes in your area.

I hate to burst the bubble but read the life of Harry Houdini and I'm sure you will begin to discount any belief in such .
He spent a good portion of his time exposing frauds who dealt in ghosts for fun and profit and then some.

haha, wow, we're polar opposites on the same situation.
I don't believe in ghosts at all, you either go to heaven or hell.... there's no third choice.
my aunt keeps encouraging me to believe in ghosts. my aunt wanted to use a ouji board with me but i said 'NO WAY'. Ouji boards are very bad and your sister is actually being very smart and caring to forbid from something so BAD!
i don't believe in ghosts but i absolutely positively believe in demons....
who do you think people are really contacting when using the ouji board?
