They can be if you are utterly inexperienced at anything involving spiritualistic communication. If you know how to protect yourself and how to retain control and keep out things you don't want to let in, then they aren't any worse than any other tool. If you're just messing about with it, you can invite in a lot of different entities, and the people who mess around with ouija boards without really knowing what they are doing tend to draw in some of the worst.

Ouija boards are a poor idea because you have no way of controlling who or what answers you call. The spirits or entities you contact in such a manner are under no obligation to be nice or even tell you the truth, without additional preparations.
Unless you know how to properly prepare a safe and sacred space, I do not recommend using a Ouija board.

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 have seen many results from Ouija board users one is to become obsessed and another is to be possessed!
"The Ouija board is a vehicle which makes it easy for negative spirits and demonic forces to enter this plane of existence." cautioned that evil spirits or demonic forces often gain the trust of people experimenting with Ouija boards by answering several questions truthfully and providing predictions.
"Once they have gained the trust of their victims, it is easy for the entity to move in and take over either by strongly influencing that person, or by outright possession," .
People who are untrained and unsophisticated in the field of the paranormal and supernatural should never play with devices such as the Ouija board!
Don't Get Trapped with Ouija boards
If you want to communicate with Spirits work on your Psychic senses then do it the right way it may take longer however it is more rewarding : ) The easy way is not always the right way, you have to work for your rewards with knowledge

No, I do not highly recommend anyone using the Ouija Board. I wouldn't want to mess with it again. 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.

me and my 2 friends had a go, there was no way anyone was pushing it as they was not the typical pranksters type.
the ouija board predicted 2 pregnancies out the 3 of us, my one frien got pregnant at 15 and had an termination and my other friend did too, not me had my first baby at 21.
also i know nothing about football and one day it was just the 2 of us with a glass, my friend said who won the world cup in so ans so year and then turned her head away, so she knew if the answer was right, it was genuine and i knew that the ouija was real as she could not spell out with her head turned.
sure enough it was italy and correct.
so i know 4 a fact they are real and evil.

Oh yes!
When my sisters and I were teenagers, we used to play with it all the time. That glass would fly around the board like a hot knife on butter. We often would lift our fingers off to see if the other one was cheating and moving it but as soon as we did, it would stop. One time, we all lifted our fingers, hoping to catch the other cheating and moving it, but the glass slid all on it's own for about four inches before it stopped!
One night we were playing with it and all the candles in the kitchen blew out at once. We screamed in the dark and our parents took the board away from us. From that night on, our house always did strange things; doors opening or closing on their own, creaks, footsteps, voices. We let something out ... and it never went away. That house is STILL haunted.
When my mother passed away, my daughter and I moved into the house to settle her estate. My daughter hated her room and said she heard people walking around all the time upstairs. There was no upstairs; it was a 2 storey house. She refused to go to the basement for ANY reason. She said she felt there were eyes down there watching her.
The Ouija is evil. It's a creepy, horrible thing.

Do i reccommend that you play with a tool for summoning random spirits without the proper preparation, protection or knowledge? Not really, no. It's not the safest idea, you know?
It doesn't matter if you believe in it or don't, not really. That would be like trying to curse someone as a game because you didn't believe it would really work.

"Ouija" boards have a long history...
I have done it several times and at times, I have felt unease at the answers given.
If you play it be careful and don't ask questions that may give a bad answer. Don't poke fun at it because there have been lots of rumours about bad things happening...
It won't work for real unless you, and the others really believe and give it a chance to work...
