is anyone else besides me fascinated with using Ouija boards? i use them a lot at night, and i love to use them close to midnight when my friends come over. in case people don't know what the Ouija boards are, i'll explain them. the board itself is basically set up like a regular board game, but it has all the letters of the alphabet on it, along with the numbers 1-9 and the words "yes" and "no". the point of using it is to ask the spirits that enter the room to answer your questions. the first thing you do is ask a question in your mind, and at least two people (including the person who asked the question) have to barely put their two fingers on the game piece. legend has it that the spirits guide your hands to the letters on the board, and spell out the answer to your question. i'm not sure if anyone cheats by pushing the game piece to the letters, but everytime i have used it, i have gotten a valid answer.

here is what the basic Ouija board looks like:


has anyone else used these boards before?

I love these things but there extreamly dangorus and should not be used at home.

what makes them dangerous?

anyway, my mom believes in all that spirit stuff, so she goes through a whole ritual before we use it at all. no, she's not a witch, but she knows a lot about witchcraft and spirits. i even know a little bit about it myself, but she definately knows more than i do.

Never heard of them...

Because once open in your house a spirit can be let in and depending on the spirit you can be in danger or not but they can also attatch them selves to you but they can also posses you so im warrning you its not a toy and why you ask well bad experance.

um...you really need to start using punctuation. i could barely even understand that.

and i know it's not a toy; it's a board game. i've used it many times without my mother being there, and nothing bad has happened to me. honestly, i'm not a huge believer of hauntings and bad luck because of using a Oiuja board incorrectly. if it was so dangerous, then why doesn't it say so on the box? it just has instructions, no warnings or anything like that.

LOL sorry I didn't read your first poes right well its ok as long as your mom puts up a berrier whitch is a spell or any kind of protect spell before use then its fine.

I wouldnt mess with one of those. I heard about the problems and all the supernatural things they cause

Tell me about, one of my friends got possesd and it was a real pain to get it out but now I don't use thoughs anymore, couse I think the dead should rest not be awoken and disturbed.

The most interesting things that ever happened with this game were:

1. My friend's immiediate death was predicted. That was a year ago. We just saw each other last weekend.

2. We talked to a dead sheep named Mo, or Bob, or something like that.

My Grandad who was very wise and a spiritualist always said never ever use one for the reasons already said. He always said that in that case spirits who wanted to be contacted are never good and should be left alone. He claimed to be able to 'see dead people' and communicate with the other side but never ever used a Ouija board.

It scares me you are referring to it as 'a game' too. I don't care what it says on the box, that is stupid.

Ac: some people are more aware to things like that than others. i refer to it as 'a game' since it comes in a box, and it has instructions like any other board game. it's also played like any other game is. it has rules, and instructions. the only thing i don't understand about it is why it doesn't have any warnings.

Raine: the only thing that happened to me while i was using it was the lights wouldn't turn on afterwards, and it was really cold in the room, and you would be able to see your breath. that freaked me out a little bit. i've talked to my dead cat before. he said he was doing fine.

Really?,I find that hard to believe Loz,why haven't you heard of them?

See----> I never had a pet sheep....Why the heck did a dead sheep 'communicate' to us? I mean, I've eaten mutton, so I really doubt a sheep would talk to me. Strange things happen. So Wierd.

Because i've never seen one before...
