Would You Use an Ouija Board?

[Kerry]

Some people won't touch one. Some find them harmless fun. Would you? And do you think it's all a load of crap or that you can actually contact the dead?

[Vicky.]

I would, and I think its a load of bollocks too. Just a bit of fun between friends.

I don't believe in ghosts or anything like that :)

[Ramsay]

id love to
cant find anyone to do it with me though :(

[InOne]

I have done in the past. One of the girls got really upset, felt pretty bad for her :/

[Josy]

I would, when I was younger we used to do it with the homemade ones.

[Kerry]

I've only ever had two experiences with one. Once when I was about 10 and a family friend had her mates over. I saw the glass move and stuff but me and my mate were ushered off. The other time was my cousin and Nan. My cousin claimed my Grandad was getting intouch. They stopped pretty quick.....

[Beastie]

Yep I got one. A proper slate one. Used to do it more so a few years ago. A few people got upset and the board got a bit nasty. People got scared and everytime the board got nasty I had to put it away. Not been on it in a while. Want to go on it again though with whoever wants to go on.

[Zippy]

can you get one from Argos?

I'd have a go.

[Beastie]

can you get one from Argos?

I'd have a go.

Not sure. I bought mine from Blue Banana about 7 years ago. lol

[Ramsay]

a friend of mine got me one for my birthday but wouldnt do it with me :(

[Kerry]

See I love spooky stuff but I'd probably sit there screaming :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Have used one and would never touch the thing again, playing with bad karma.

[MTVN]

I'm really cynical about this sort of stuff, I dont really believe it at all so I think I'd give it a try

[Kerry]

Have to admit, I wouldn't have one in my house

[InOne]

I think if I believed Ghosts exist then I'd have to consider God. And I'm a stone cold Atheist

[Tom4784]

I wouldn't waste my time with one, they're pointless.

[Zippy]

Ghosthunting with Corrie on ITV2 now!

Thats why I posted this :D

[GypsyGoth]

On QI they said that they were once the most popular board game people played, I forget why they said they went out of fashion and got a spooky rep.

Something about if the glass leaves the board or smashes the spirit escapes

Not really. If ghosts/spirits exist, it doesn't mean a god is the reason behind it. Could be perfectly natural.

[Angus]

Many years ago my brothers and I found a ouija board at the back of the cupboard in our recently moved into new home - we used it once, but got so freaked out when the glass moved by itself that we never did it again, and we threw the board away. We experienced some weird stuff after that, things being moved, footsteps etc, but it's anyone's guess whether this was just auto suggestion or something supernatural.

As for needing an actual ouija board - that isn't really necessary - it's easy to make a homemade version - just 26 letters of the alphabet, a smooth table and a glass - go on, I dare you:wink:

[Marc]

What complete utter balls!

Nothing irritates me more than people who think they can see ghosts or communicate somehow to other 'spirits'. That and elvis impersonators.

[Kazanne]

Never knock what other people have done and seen,It may irritate you but fact is always stranger than fiction and strange things DO happen as for a Ouija board,I would never ever.

Yes

LOL - have to agree with the elvis impersonators.:joker:

I've never actually seen a ghost or communicated with the the spirits, but there have been things I have seen and heard that have been inexplicable to me and others I have been with at the time. Just because something can't be seen, touched or heard doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I like to keep an open mind till something is proved conclusively right or wrong - history and science should have taught us that much.

[Novo]

Do people actually think the spirit is in the glass? trapped inside like some kind of invisible fly

I can honestly say that I have never believed in ghosts and I do not think they exist. However spirits of family members lost do help to comfort people and I know people who often say stuff like they feel their brother/sister/mother etc. is with them. I don't dislike that type of open minded'ness. But I cannot stand the stuff like Most Haunted Live and stuff, it is a complete farce!

[Niamh.]

This

[Livia]

I would absolutely and categorically not have one in my house.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ive tried one and it didnt even work >_>

i did buy it from ebay though so thats probably why :L

[Smithy]

I would, although, if anything happened I'd probably scream the house down :joker:

['Conor]

NO

id die if it actually moved

[Lee.]

100% not! Never have, never will and I would NEVER let anybody do it in my house or in my presence.. those sort of things should not be tampered with :nono:

[zotler.]

I really don't believe in ghosts or anything like that - however, I probably would try one for the experience. To me it seems too likely that someone else is moving the glass, like one of the people you're doing it with. :\

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i just love the thought of these badass spirits though i want to be friends with them

[Patrick]

People who don't believe in this kind of stuff are ******ing stupid.

You CAN Contact the dead using them.
They ARE Evil.
They SHOULD NOT be touched or used.

There is other ways of contacting the dead, more harmless ways and more ways that can bring good to you than evil.

The Ouija board is not one of them, you can find yourself attaching a demon to you.

[arista]

NO

If it moved
it would not Effect you.

No.

It is worked and functioned by Ghosts, and can lead to disastrous results for example,

You could end up finding something out or something that's going to happen, that you wish you never knew.

There is No God Patrick

There are Evil people like Hitler
his nazi men shunk heads -for paper weights.
That is Evil.

Well Said.

Wow geez Patrick, you feel pretty strongly about this. Has a demon ever attached itself to you? Any ghostly experiences?

[arista]

No need to call another member that.

So you find the notion of there being a God ridiculous but you're so certain about all of that?

I believe in ghosts but not the power of these things, and thus I'm not bothered whether I try one or not.

Here's how they work, explained by Derren Brown and some other woman:

The explanation starts at 01:30.

Yes those Girls had a Sexual Buzz
that gave it movement.

I've seen that before, don't think I believe it tbh

[Tom4784]

I like the Stone tape theory when it comes to ghosts. Basically it says that a ghost is just gases and cells that have been left imprinted in buildings people used to operate in and that more sensitive people can pick up on the traces and sometimes they might hallucinate sounds or figures and such. Less of a presence and more of a recording really. I haven't really explained it that well but it's an interesting theory.

Ouiji Boards are all psychological, you might be so high strung on seeing anything happen that you might move the glass slightly yourself or if you're with a mischevious friend they could be moving it. You might become so hypersensitive for a while afterwards that the littlest sounds and such seem supernatural when they're not.

For example, when I lived in my old house I woke up one night and was convinced I saw a little boy sitting cross legged on the floor. I jumped up and he was gone and after that there were a lot of weird incidents but since most occured at night when I was tired or by myself I just put them down to me being hyper sensitive and placing a bunch of mundane occurances I wouldn't notice normally to a supernatural source.

It's the same with the house I'm in now after that intruder in my garden, Whenever I'm in the kitchen at night I'm always glancing outside at the slightest hint of movement because i'm overly sensitive when it comes to that situation now.

I don't believe in ghosts, like my nan always says, It's the living that'll hurt you not the dead.

[Tom]

Already have, the glass smashed

[Boothy]

I want to have a go, I don't see why everyone s**ts themselves about it?

How would I go about doing it? Could I make one now with a bit of paper and a glass? Could I just sit here and do it on my own?

I'm intrigued.

Also, I don't believe in ghosts or any supernatural stuff like that. Probably why I found Paranormal Activity more boring than scary.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i do believe in ghosts but those boards are so ****ing stupid

what self respecting ghost is gonna waste its time moving a ****ing glass around on a board

like dont they have anything better to do?

i know they are dead but there must be loads of cool things to do when you are dead

*waits for oh you should kill yourself and find out reply*

I'd be out haunting people and throwing stuff such as house bricks at people who have annoyed me in life. I plan to die young so i can make this a real possibility. Plus the thought of being old and decreppit makes me sick

Depsite the fact that they have been debunked countless times by the scientific community and the fact that it can very easily be parsimoniously explained by going into the unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer? And about a million other little psychological brain nuances that are all readily probveable? No. It just has to be supernatural, right?

Idiot.

Bolding your points does not make you smart. Reading up on the subject and knowing the full story makes you smart.

Its his belief. Many people do believe in them. Me? No i don't. I agree with many of the things you said.

I am open minded to ghosts/spirit. Poltergeist activity. Stuff like that.

[LemonJam]

I've done it. The ghost was called Frank.

It's really strange but I think it's a subconcious thing.

[Niall]

Would I use a ouija board? Nope. Its bullcrap.

I do believe in Heaven and everything but this stuff about ghosts and contacting spirits just makes me wanna burst out laughing - its complete, utter nonsense.

Tbh I only think someone desperate with grief would use one of these but if that helps them get over their pain and loss, then go for it. I just think its about as much chance of being real as I do jumping a thousand feet into the air.

[Stu]

Belief isin't enough though. His wrong. Simple as. I'm not talking about spirit activity of any kind here I'm talking about ouija boards. They are B.S. and have proven to be so. If his entitled to his uninformed 'belief' after all that then I believe I'm black.

Of course I'm not black but I BELIEVEEEE!~!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

also, they used to sell ouija boards in toys r us

im sure if they were dangerous they would have come with a warning

[Zippy]

I would only do it in somebody elses home...not mine. Just in case you drag up some spirit that then decides to hang around.

Not that I really believe in it but just to be on the safe side.

[Jords]

Yepp, ptobably a load of crap but it would be spooky and fun anyway.

[Zippy]

This is the very first patented ouija board. From 1891. The name is from the French and German words for yes...oui and ja.
