Answer 1

Yes they are real and very dangerous, nothing but evil comes from the Ouija Board you talk to evil spirits and the only way to get rid of it is to burn it cause if you throw it away in the trash it will end up back in your closet and if you play it by your self it can make you become evil I had a friend that turn evil every time she played the Ouija Board.

Answer 2

Parker Brothers did not invent the Ouija Board. It had already been around for awhile when it was bought by Parker Brothers in 1966 and turned into a commercial success as a board game. Its beginnings lie in the distant past when an earlier version (a tripod device) was used in the ancient ways of Babylon and Greece to contact departed spirits. The tripod became the pointer now used with the Board, which is printed with the alphabet, the numbers 1-9, a 0 (zero), and the words 'Goodbye', 'Yes', and 'No'. There are other boards like this with different names, but with the same history and purpose. The modern version of this game was developed by a man named Planchette, a spiritualist (someone who contacts the dead as part of their religion). The Board was further transformed around the turn of the century under the direction and ownership of two men, Elijah J. Bond and William Fuld. Fuld’s name can be seen on the Ouija Board today. The name Ouija is a combination of the French and German words for 'yes': Oui and Ja. According to Bond and Fuld, the Board suggested its own name. The primary purpose of the board is and always has been to contact disembodied spirits. Contacting the dead is called necromancy, and contacting spirits is spiritism, both strongly condemned by God (Deut. 18:9-12; Lev. 19:31, 20:6; I Sam 28, II Kings 21:6; Is. 8:19, 19:3-4). The Board’s translated name, 'yes, yes', is an ingenious and subtle way to invite spirit contact. Dead people cannot hang around after death; you cannot communicate with a dead person. The practices and techniques of contacting the dead and contacting spirits are used widely in the occult. Although the pointer is often moved intentionally or subconsciously by the players, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when using the Board. By 'playing' this 'game', you are showing an interest in spirit contact. If contact is made, it is demons (evil spirits, fallen angels), not the dead, who are responding. If Satan can disguise himself as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), then it is not improbable that fallen angels can disguise themselves as the dead. The Ouija Board is not harmless just because it is marketed as a game. Satan, the master of deception and seduction, is good at twisting the truth into lies (Gen. 3:1-6; Jn. 8:44). Satan likes disguises and his lies are often disguised as games. The next time you are tempted to play the Ouija Board as a game, look beyond its disguise and see it for what it really is. Think about this: Just what or who are you trying to contact? God tells us to seek Him instead of the dead (Is. 8:19), and Christ "lives forever to plead with God" on behalf of those who believe Him (Heb. 7:25b). Who wants the Ouija Board when you can know the One Who has "complete authority in heaven and on earth!" (Matt.28:18). If you are wondering about Christ, think on His words in John 5:23b-24, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father , who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Answer 3

They're just a way to focus the psychic energy of the people using them. Some people have enough energy to work them, some don't. If I try to use one it works so fast that it's hard to read the letters. The planchette sometimes flies out from under my fingers.

Are they dangerous? As with any tool, and they are a tool, they can be misused by the ignorant. If you sit down and start calling demons, or if you believe in demonic possession, you can create trouble for yourself. If you use proper psychic protections, there's no reason not to use one. The people who should stay away from them are the very guilty, overly dramatic, or superstitious. I've been using them for nearly 40 years with nary a problem.

Answer 4

Yes. When I asked the spirit what are the names of my future boyfriends, it only revealed the letter "M." All my three ex-boyfriends were named Marcus, Matthew and Mark. I felt like I was cursed since all three relationships went down the drain. My last relationship lasted for 4 years and I thought we would make it and break the curse.
I'm usually not a believer in superstitions and Ouija Boards, however, this incident has been giving me the creeps for years. Now I refuse to associate with people (especially guys) whose names start with the letter “M”.
Paranoid? Perhaps. Think it was all a coincident? You be the judge.

Answer 5

They are very real.As for dangerous,in your case I would say yes.Whether you believe all that stuff about paranormal activity,contacting spirits both good and evil,etc does not really matter.The fact that you said you would not use one makes me think that you have quite an active imagination.Nothing wrong with that,but I get the impression that if you did use one it would probably freak you out a bit.From a strictly logical viewpoint you would maybe suffer from nightmares,probably recurring ones at that.That goes double for anyone suffering from any kind of mental illness.And who wants that?My advice would be to not bother with them.It's kind of like those honey locust things they serve up in Thailand,you know you can eat them,but would you really want to?NO!!

Answer 7

I answered such a question not too long ago and this is the answer I gave them.....

They can be very dangerious if handled wrong and there's no protection and I'm not about to tell you how to achieve that. You may ask why I want tell you....Simple...You do the protection thing wrong and you could still come to harm.

I know of people who don't know what they are doing who have used these and nothing but harm has come to them.

My younger sister used one and she want go near them now because of a seriously bad experience.

Keep away!!!

The following statements came from this web site:
http://www.greatdreams.com/ouija.htm


"Thirteen years ago, I was playing with my Ouija board with a friend. We asked the board what the name of the cemetary was where my Aunt was buried. The board replied "Cedar Pines". I laughed because I knew the name was actually "Rolling Hills".
I didn't laugh for long. Five months later, we buried my Uncle in that same cemetary. While I was there, I told my story to a cemetary caretaker. He stared at me for a few minutes and he asked what year it was when my Aunt was buried. I told him the year, and what he said sent shivers down my spine.

When my Aunt was buried in the cemetary, it was named "Cedar Pines". The name of the cemetary had been changed after she had been buried. I had not attended that funeral so I was not aware of that fact when I asked the Ouija board.

Needless to say, I don't know who I was talking to when I asked my question on the board, but I haven't asked any questions since."

"One time, I was playing Ouija with a friend and we were having lots of fun. We were talking to someone our own age who had died a few days ago. Neither of us were pushing it. Our hands were hovering above it. Then, all of a sudden the lights went out and the TV turned on to a movie called Witchboard. We screamed and as my mom came running down the hall, it stopped. Needless to say, it was a practical joke from the spirit. Not funny!!!! I haven't touched the board since."

"The ouija board is nothing to fool around with to make it mad. I know from experience!! My brother and I used to "play" with his, and we would tease it. A lot of times it would hop off the board, and creep on the floor to the stairs that went to the attic or our bedrooms. it always said that it was Satan himself in it, so we said, if you are truely Satan, then show yourself. That was a mistake. Under the needle of the triangle tool that you placed your fingers, came up the words-- devil child-- in red letters, and the thing became very warm to touch. We are lucky that is all that happened. It is okay to use, but nothing to test anger with. It told us many things that was scary"

Answer 8

it depends on those who use it..........if used correctly it is just another tool to communicate to the spirit world,
people should be aware of how to open and close before attempting to try it and always trust your guides.
Not knowing what you are doing or understanding the board can lead to people getting scared as low level spirits play on fear..........and if you ever do and get some thing you don't understand then send it away into the light.Be sure in your self of what you will and will not accept.they have a stigma attached to them..........and that is all it is,be more afraid of the living.......is what I say

Answer 9

If I am completely honest then I have no idea if they are real or not but I know that I would never try one. I know a friend of mine swears they are real and tried one once with a group of friends and was so freaked out by the whole experience that it took her months to sleep without a light on. Maybe it was all in her imagination but is it a risk you are willing to take.

Answer 10

Yes... They are real.

And they are as dangerous as driving a car on the freeway when you haven't been taught how to drive. You're most likely to get into an accident, if you manage to get the thing moving at all.

However, there are ways to learn to use one correctly... Study the Ouiji board and put the proper protections in place before attempting.
