    It is a spirit board, I have used one, but just for fun, nothing freaky ever happened, we did not make contact lol It is supposed to be extremely bad luck to break one.

    A friend of mine believes she made contact with her sister (who passed away when they were both very young), but I wasn't there at the time.

    I honestly am not sure if I believe in them, but I definitely find them interesting.

    Wasn't a Ouija board what they used in The Exorcist?

    Yes. Regan playing with the Ouija board was what caused her to being possessed by Satan.

    They are flipping horrible things!! I'm never touching one again.
    Me and Marcus did one one night and we were both shouting at each other to stop pushing, we were both swearing we weren't but it was moving at some speed. So Marcus shouted, if you're there show us you are!
    A bloody spoon flew across the room and hit the wall at the other end and when Marcus picked it up, it was bent in the middle as if someone had bent it.
    His mom went mad when she got home and we told her what happened because she doesn't want anyone using them.
    I, for one, will never use one again, what a fright!

    An ouija bord is a very dangerous thing. It should not be uses EVER! I have heared stories of ppl being haunted by ghosts for years after they had played with that bord.

    I know that pretty much everyone who uses one of those boards gets the life scared out of them but I want to try it anyhow. I've allways wanted to and a good scare is healthy now and then.

    Wow thats freaky cool....I've seen things and heard really weird stuff. i think I even saw a demon before (he was so ugly) Um, we lived in this house and someone walked down the hallevery night. That scared the wits out of me. And one time I was doing homework and I saw someone crawling on the wall. It was a scrawny black thing that looked alomst human but a heck alot uglier. It had red eyes too. It stared at me fo rthe longest time until i freaked out and looked away....and ect. Yeah, so weird things do happen.....and did to me....

    My mom used it when she was about 16. Her and her friend played it in the basement of her house and recorded it on tape. After they power went out (there was a storm) so they played back the tape and they heard a womens voice. They screamed and ran out.

    My friend did one and it was so weird. She had an eating disorder and at her treatment, they all thought of names for theirs and she picked E.D. so when she asked his name, it said ED. It was like "yelling" ANOREXIC! at her. It also like told her what chair in band she was going to get and when this guy would tell her he still loved her and that october 17, a loved one would betray her. All of that came true and her boyfriend was cheating on her with her cousin and he told her on oct. 17

    I've never really been a believer in that kind of stuff...

    But just in case, I am going to avoid ever using one hahaha.

    It's a spirit board where you are meant to lay the letters of the alaphabet on the table in a circle and you have to put a wine glass upside down in the middle and a group of your friends or just two people or more, all have to put your fingers on the wine glass, and then you call up the spirits and such and the wine glass is meant to move to the letters and spell something out. I will never use those kind of things my mum has told me many stories about them and has warned me. I hope I never come in contact with one or even touch one they are meant to give really bad luck and as soon as you have woken the dead they will haunt you or something like that. I believe that no one should mess with the dead or wake them, but that's my opinion some people just think it's stupid but I don't.

  • omgitsmina

    It never worked for me.

    But maybe that's a good thing considering how people wind up getting haunted, frightened, ect.

    Idk if this turns the tables on this thread or not but I'm goin to go ahead and play the role of the jerk here for a second...

    I highly recommend you (any of you) to not mess with any of this stuff.

    people (or houses) can end up possessed by some nasty evil spirits, this is dangerous stuff guys.

    ...my Youth Pastor at church camp had this student who messed with an ouija board.
    she fell victim to a demonic spirit, He had to go all out exorcism on her to free her of it.
    true story.

    I think its scary to use one, what if something goes wrong? and you are being haunted? freaky O.o

    Ugh, i say again, Ouiji boards are not what you think they are.

    If anyone is REALLY interested in what actually happens when people use these bits of wood...read this...and wake up.

  • Kevin

    It is a better source than anything that has been said so far in terms of research and support.

    But hey, why bother actually researching the truth behind such things when just saying anything is sooo much easier.

    Ugh, no offence meant, to anyone...but really..people make life decisions and all kinds of assumptions about the afterlife and dead relatives based on these so called "Spirit Boards".

  • the song writer

    Are you saying that Ouija boards are fake, Kevin?

  • Kevin
    17 years ago

    Yes I am, as are all mediums and psychic's.

    And if you any of you are actually interested in why I know this to be true, then google ;

    Cold Reading
    The Barnum Effect
    Derren Brown
    Parapsychology

    That should sort you out, though I suspect none of you will actually do so.

    Just keep on believing in fairies and angels and listening to frauds charge you money for spiritual advice.

    advice.

    Ad----vice.

    geddit?

  • OMGdanielle

    I'm not a die-hard-im-definetly-right-there-is-no-other-option believer in the supernatural, but ive had enough experiences with them do definetly believe in them. ive never messed with an Ouija, i know many people who have and have advised me not so, but im betting sometime in my lifetime i will. and with my luck, it will make a knife go into the back of my brain.

    awesome=] <--- (sarcasm)

  • the song writer
    17 years ago

    Well there you go guys.

    one guy says they're fake.

    others say its just plain old dangerous.

    just don't mess with it.

    I havent seen the real one, but we got this local movie about the Ouija Boards. its horrible, yeah they are correct its dangerous play over.
    it does require like some prayer in case you wake up a soul, not so friendly.
    most likely its to open the gate for lost soul i guess

  • omgitsmina
    17 years ago

    Btw, has anyone seen The Exorcism of Emily Rose?

    That movie was soooo good.

    Not that scary per say, but just creepy 'cause it's a true story.

  • the song writer
    17 years ago

    I own it.

    its one of my favorites.

  • omgitsmina
    17 years ago

    The part where the demons start naming themselves is the best scene of the whole movie.

  • the song writer
    17 years ago

    The most climatic for sure.

    one of the scenes I like was when that black figure demonic thing appeared in that storm.

    scared me.

  • omgitsmina
    17 years ago

    Yeah, that was a good scene too.

    The Number 23 was also really good.

    I watched it on Thanksgiving.

  • milly

  • Kevin

    They are fake.

    As are fairies, demons, vampires, werewolves and just about every other spiritual/paranormal thing you care to mention.

    I do not mean these are not experienced by people...I mean I've seen what I thought were ghosts etc....but I didn't accept the common interpretation and description for them.

    If you actually research the psychology, physiology and history of many of these phenomenon, you'll find they are usually reactions or symptoms of other more wordly things.
