Answer 1

Oh good grief! I'm so tired of people trying to build a bonfire with a wet match.

One of the things I did while still lecturing at churches was to demonstrate a Ouija board.
While I controlled the planchette there were no untoward incidents. When there was a person who tried to "make things exciting" as one person stated after I asked him to stop trying to spell Satan and he admitted he had thought of Satan, but didn't know he was physically forcing the planchette so much it was tilting.

He actually admitted that he wanted the board to show evil, when the pastor asked him, "before God."

On the other hand there was a matriarch of a Church that sat opposite of me and asked her question. We waited for the planchette to move and the pastor made notes. The planchette was really attuned to her. We barely touched the planchette and a few letters then series of numbers were pointed out. It was the date of the first time she had been kissed by her deceased husband. She asked if she could buy the board, so I gave it to her as a gift.

If The Christians' God is so strong, why are they so afraid of The Ouija Board toy made by Parker Brothers?
Is it that they have created entities called demons by their faith that such things are real to them?
Is it because they are hiding the evil that dwells within them and are afraid of anything that might shed light on their darkness?

Is it because all Christians believe in the malignant spirits that they believe they might become or draw to themselves via their own darkness?

Answer 2

I have not ever used one, BUT I have very good reason. I vividly remember my sister and her friend using one at a sleepover and when we went to pick my sister up, the friend's mother went ballistic when she found out what they'd done and sat everyone down to tell her story. Basically when she was young she'd used a ouija board with a friend, contacted a very angry ghost, and their power went out (it WAS storming, fair enough) and the two of them saw a severed head floating outside the bedroom window. The story left such an impression on me I refuse to even touch one! I know several other people who've had creepy things happen after using them, and I distinctly remember reading a "true" story when I was younger about a university dorm that was haunted by a "kissing ghost" that would creep up behind girls and kiss the back of their necks - and he'd been loosed by a bunch of female students using a ouija board.

It may be a load of hooey, but I do believe in ghosts - it's harder for me to believe that many people throughout time have overactive imaginations - and I think it's definitely better not to even risk it!

If you think something bad will result from it you will find a way to incorporate it in your daily life. It will be nothing more then a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some coincidence will happen that can be automatically blamed on the board because we don't want to take responsibility for our own actions.

I have used one of those before with friends. One of the people playing lost his job the next day and blamed it on the Ouija board.

Rest assured there are no "evil spirits" out to get any of us. The only "power" a Ouija board will have over you is what you give it...Just like anything else in this world.

Same thing with "fortune cookies"....People almost ALWAYS see it as some kind of higher power working if they happen to get a "fortune" that can be incorporated into there lives somehow.

I can say don't worry but. Would you worry more or less if you knew that there was no "magic" no "spirits" good or evil and no "higher power" that is effecting anything we do or anything that will happen to us.

We are the masters of our own universe.

Answer 4

I've used them many times. I also take precautions and am aware of what can happen. I don't have bad experiences using them. One experience...umm. I've had relatives talk to me. Real quick: our house was 120 years old. We would have stayed if we weren't forced to move. So, there was also this ghost in the house. This little kid who died nearby. He was always kind of annoyed that we moved in. He'd bang on stuff in the basement, open and close doors, knock on the doors, and just be in the way. One night we were using a board (similar to a ouija, same idea, just different) and we ended up talking to him. He kept spelling out "my house" over and over and over really quickly. We talked to him a bit more. Long story short: he stopped being annoying. He came back and visited because he wanted to and liked us. Not because he was angry that we moved into the house. It was nice.

Answer 5

Four of us used it and it spelled out names quickly with no hesitation the planchet flew over the board and would shoot up to yes---then waver back and forth and shoot right back to yes we stopped put it away and I never have nor will ever play again. I used it with my Mom and Grandmother as a child to, Gran was careful what she asked I remembered, that is NO GAME. "We do not wrestle againest flesh and blood but againest principalities and powers of darkness in heavenly places" So put on the full armor of God! Ephisians 6:12

Answer 6

I've tried it before and nothing happened. I was playing alone and the planchette didn't start moving on it's own, nothing weird like that. I really think that people just move it subconsiously.

Answer 7

the one and only time i ever tried it was at my
cousins house in NJ
we were the only ones there that night
she told me before we started that she contacted a
little boy who drowned on a boat in 1940
and his mom and dad also died
but he couldn't find them

already i was freaked out
we started and she called him
she kept asking for a name over and over
he finally said peter
right after that the bedroom door opended
and slammed so hard against the wall
we both scremed on the top of our lungs
the window in her room shook so hard
this went on for 20 minutes either one of us
could move
i started crying and i got up and ran out
i asked my cousin did she ever try that again
she said no
after that she gave it away
that was way back in 1981
i wont ever forget that night !!

Answer 8

Ask yourself one question: where do you buy Ouija boards? Could it be in the *toy* section?

The principle that works a Ouija board is not spiritual but basic psychology.

Answer 9

Wow, that was freaky.

I've done it before and it didn't really freak me out but I'm not going to try it again..

My experience: I was with three bestfriends and we asked how old the ghost was in the house and he said he was over 300 years old.

I found that stupid...

Answer 10

The Ouija board is nothing more than a toy that can drive someones imagination.
