In my opinion, human kinds tendancy to lie or misinterpret the truth far outstrips any evidence of the supernatural.

People on this thread some of them are close minded. I don’t understand the possibilities and the dangers of it. It may not always work and if it does, it will probably bring evil. So basically if it ever does anything, it will probably be evil. And if it ever worked as intended for somebody, you won’t hear about that.

It’s called the unexplained the supernatural it’s not black and white. And you don’t need the actual game for it to work you can make it yourself. It’s not like the one you buy in the store has some kind of magic ability. It was created by people who were maybe not in touch with the unexplained or supernatural but they knew it was a way to easily communicate with the supernatural if and when possible.

I have never used one and I don’t want to because I don’t need any more problems in life. My parents said they had one and weird stuff was happening or something. I don’t know and they threw it out.

Take care young lady.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
Yes, they can and you can make them yourself.
Panamared · 70-79, M
Have you used one
@Panamared no not yet
funfan · 51-55, M
@Carysoflife do any of your friends have one?
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Stay away from them. They attract stray spirits. You don't want them around.
Keeper · M
Yes - I don't mess with them anymore.
Yes I am the ghost you summoned, coming back to be spooky when you least expected it.

Yeah. You dont need the board though. Its just a permission slip to acknowledge whats already there. Your intent to communicate with them is enough to bring them into your life.

No, still, I wouldn't go near one.
Know of any lawsuit against the manufacturers? The worst thing that can happen is getting a splitter throwing it away.

Why would it be possible to buy psychic abilities? Imagine a board made for the Chinese language. It would need a small room.

Bearing a name said to be derived from the French and German words for “yes,” the Ouija board is simply a flat, smooth board bearing the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and often the words “Yes,” “No,” “Maybe,” and “Goodbye.” A hand-sized, heart-shaped device perched upon three short legs, each of which has a pad or wheel to enable the instrument to slide freely across the board, is known as the planchette. This is used as a pointer, the tapered end of the heart shape indicating letters on the board.

One or more operators sit around the board, each lightly resting fingers upon the top of the planchette. It is said that spirits or other entities cause the planchette to move about the board, spelling out messages and answers to questions posed by the operators. (This process is a form of “dactylomancy,” or divination by means of finger motions.)

Actually, the movement is due to the ideomotor effect and this can be shown by the fact that when the operator is properly blindfolded, only gibberish is produced.
The Ouija board was patented in 1892 by a Maryland novelty company.
@Jonjdw sometime
People try to find answer . I know it’s not smart or rational :(
@Jonjdw You’re the one that’s afraid of "spirits". I prefer bourbon.

@BlueSkyKing oh I’m a simple guy. I just drink regular beer.

I did one with friends once when we were teenagers. I didn’t believe it worked at the time, but that’s all I have to base it on.

I have a friend who refuses to talk about the night she used the ouija board
AdmiralPrune · 46-50, M
I’ve no idea but I know of people did it and after a bizarre episode killed themselves.

Regardless of whether ouija boards work or not, those two believed it enough to take their own lives.
throw it away they're evil
dale74 · M
Ouija board will only bring demons

Do NOT mess around with them. They are tools which can open DOORS between the visible and the invisible world. There is only one problem. There is no way to shut the door unless you are one of the wise and know things that most people don't know.

And because that world is invisible, you have no idea who is "speaking" to you. Is it a serial killer pretending to be your Aunt Sally? Is it a demon hoping for a foothold into our world, and that foothold is YOU?

never tried one - don't think they are real

but having said that

how would you know if the entity you were communicating with would have your best interests at heart?

I mean think how iffy chatting on SW is...
Alyosha · 36-40, M
No. It's all a bunch of bullshit.
Munumbis · 46-50, M
They do something. My guess is they are a connection to the subconscious mind. Whether the subconscious connects to something outside itself after that I don't know.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
No, of course not.

People who claim toys like that do work, likely act, consciously or subconsciously, as if they do.
peterlee · M
They can certainly mess your mind up.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I wouldn't risk trying to find out.
I'm 100% sure they can mess with people's mind at least
