I do believe that ouija boards can contact spirits given the right set of circumstances. The communications therefore from the ouija board would be from the spirits, although it would be uncertain what or whose spirit you would be contacting. And yes, some spirits would lie when answering questions. I believe quite a few spirits would actually get a kick out of lying.

In the majority of cases, however, I think that rather than being successful at contacting spirits, the people using the ouija board subconsciously influence the answers and therefore the outcome themselves.

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.

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."

I would say no, because there is a human influence upon the movement of the object on the board, but I would be very careful when using a ouiji board. I don't mess with that stuff as a general rule, because I bvelieve in spirits, and I wouldn't want to be affected by a bad or mischiveous spirit who is up to no good. Ever see the exorcist? That stuff is real.

Psychologists believe the motion of the planchette is explained by the ideomotor effect. A typical session with the board has two or more people touching the planchette with at least one hand each, so that no single person need apply much force in order for the group as a whole to cause it to move. Each person experiences the illusion that the planchette moves under its own power.

Ouija's a joke.

NO, they are not always right, nothing is set in stone okay? unfortunatly they are spirits that like to play with the living. And well they can be the earth bounds, and the ones who are very disgrunteled, they want to scare you and get in your mind. These spirits are feeding off of your energies, the more you are scared, or angry the better for them. Please do not put too much stock into that board, if you feel threatned or scared or uncomfortable in ANY way put it up, and try some other day. Some thing was just trying to scare you, do not let it.Dont give it your energy.

What she needs to do is hurry up and repent to God, and get rid of that board. Because it tells the half truth. One girl used that board and it told her she was going to get married and it gave the man's name, and she did married that man, and that man made that girl's life a living hell, and she never asked that board anything again.

I have only seen wrong stuff or gibberish on them. My mother and my brother asked who was my gal while I was away at college. It told them Nancy Wilson. I have never dated a Nancy or a Wilson, really. My gals then were Frederika Schreuder from Holland and Kazuko Otaki from Japan, but my brother spoke no Dutch or Japanese, so he could not push the pointer to any names from these nations. Mom is of Dutch ancestry, but she knows nothing of the Dutch language.

No...no one knows when they will die..for example....you hear about ppl getting cancer and the doctor giving them a few months and they always live past that. The only person that knows when you will die is God. Look at the predictions of Nostradamus even he couldnt get everything right.
