ouija boards anyone??

[cosmic**girl]

anyone here done that stuff??any stories?
ive done it..but didn't work particulary well..
im guessing you control it subconciously

[themnax]

ouji boards are a useful way to randomly generate very strainge sounding words and have fun with someone else while doing so.

i've used them and as near as i can tell from my own experience, that's all they are, and pretty much more or less all that the're good for.

[cosmic**girl]

hehe, yeah same here...how well it worked depended on the people using it, but its always fun to play around with

[Winston]

but its always fun to play around withUntil every piece of glass in the apartment smashes simultaneously and the perfectly healthy 22 y/o girl sitting next to you has a massive heart attack, nearly killing her...

[revolution_time]

woah, what?

[Kali _in_Oz]

Ouija boards are not toys, they are not to be used as light entertainment and I strongly suggest not using them unless you have a comprehensive understanding of how they work and how to use them correctly.

[braindead_babe]

I was always too freaked out to use those.

[ashbury1500haight]

those things are fucking craaazy. i dont mess with them anymore dude be careful with those

[free2fly]

oh, definately. It isnt a game. I mean... Ive had friends who Ive watched use it, and they treated it as a game, spelling out a bunch of stuff and joking about it ... so to them it seemed like a game. But they werent "deep" to begin with.
On the other hand... I and my sisters took turns on it... (and we are all pretty open minded and ... "sensitive" ... so to speak) and I can tell ya, if you are "receptive" ... you will get a response on Ouiji. It definately IS real, be it spirits, or, I-dont-know-what ... but ... while some of the responses can be knowledgable, silly or plain profound... others can be harsh and scary. I had one who obviously did not like me and moved the piece around near viollently ... it shook me up so much that I've stayed away from the board since then...

I have read where very receptive people can even take on spirits or something from it ... or the spirits can use the person rather, kind of like a mediator thing... and for someone who doesnt know how to control something like that it can be a real bad thing because the spirits (or whatever it is) can tap into that person from then on, because that persons mind is more opened and aware in that realm ......... I dont remember exactly how it goes, but it was something like that. Anyways ... thats what bothered me, because I am usually very "aware" and used to have alot of premonitions and things... so I could easily get pulled into that kind of thing .... but Im rambling here... so anyways...

I think if you are going to use it, have a good reason, and read up on it before you do. Its not a toy...

[OddOneOut]

I wanna use one. and so does one of my best friends. problem is, she's apparently psychic and she says she see ghosts (I can't really say she's lying cause i don't see what she sees) and her house is shit scary. I remember hearing a tap downstairs turn of by itself. so we're kinda both too scared to use one.
does it matter on how many people you use?

[CadenceKid]

this has sparked my interest
i might be picking one up very shortly
are there any good ouija board websites i can visit?

[free2fly]

its best done with 2 people.

Dang Id be scared to use one in a house that has energy vibes....
I grew up in a very strange 1800's farmhouse.. I always felt an uneasiness about something there -in it, or around it- and.. it wasnt a good presence, it was... unnerving. Frightening. Years later, I got to talking about it with my younger sister and she agreed that she felt very similarly about that house. I had some serious anxiety/panick problems and bad insomnia when I lived there too, and I think it may have been because I was sensitive to more spiritual realms. (Of course I was very "churchy" back then so I spent alot of time praying and meditating and that just compounded my sensitivity!. lol.) Ive really numbed out since then... and Im rather glad for it. Being sensitive or psychic does have some advantages, its more like a gift really ... being able to see what others cannot, being more in tune with things that may inspire creativity and possibly even can be used to help others................ but also comes with a price. It can drive people to the edge of insanity, knowing too much, seeing too much, feeling too much...

It was the unseen realm that would trouble me tho. I rarely felt peace. Only when I went out into the woods. At night in that house.... I was so .. nervous. I felt something there. Made me a terribly nervous person, I used to get bad stomache ulcers in my mid-teens, from nervousness. I was such a sensitive person then though. I often was so much more aware than the people around me. I felt like I was floating back and forth between 2 realms...... and never felt normal.

Years later I contributed these problems of the past to just mental illness... when we moved away from that house when I was about 20, much of my anxiety disorder also subsided, but from then on I suffered severe bouts of depression ..... but I often wonder... is it possible that people who have this "sensitivity" may really be having some mental problems, and paranoia, and its all just in their heads? OR, is it possible that people who are supposedly suffering mental conditions are the way they are because they ARE different, because they DO see more than others, and because this heightened awareness is a bit much for the human mind to handle? There seems to be a great amount of gifted people.... artists, writers, musicians -any of those who are receptive to inspiration- who also are prone to depression, etc. And many spiritual people prone to paranoia. Its hard to say. All I know is.... I am kind of glad to have lost a great deal of the awareness I used to have. Depression numbed me out alot. But Im calmer and I dont have the racing thoughts and crazy vibes I used to get and that spacey "other realm" feeling rarely occurs anymore. Its a relief. Ive moved around alot and its been a huge relief to not feel the feelings I had in that house, too. ......... shit.... Im rambling here again! I guess Ive not talked about this stuff much so its kinda nice to talk about it here............. me and my weird experiences.. yeah .... :rolleyes: ... ok back to the subject ... lol!

umm... if the house bothers your friend, like, if there seems to be a presence there and it doesnt feel right, then I wouldnt try to communicate with it. I wouldnt even do Ouji in that house! Especially since she claims to see presences.... if she is sensitive, it wouldnt be good to tune into something where she lives, because it might start bothering her all the time. Unless she doesnt feel it is a bad presence, and she wants to know why it is there or something. But .. be careful.... maybe consult with someone experienced in dealing with this sort of thing. Sometimes the unknown is better left alone.
If it scares both of you... do you really want to try to communicate with it?

I dont like the idea of doing Oiuji inside a house. Seems like it would just be inviting presences to enter the home (if there arent already some there)...... so my sisters and I (when I did it, I dont anymore) started using it outside, in quiet places... and... that was better...

[cerridwen]

i love playin with ouija boards... a great way to freak yourself out sometimes!

[OddOneOut]

If it scares both of you... do you really want to try to communicate with it?
Well she says her house has a mixture of sprits, and there's her 'spirit guide' who's always around so she wants to find out more about her house and stuff.
and I'm just curious, i know i know, curiosity killed the cat. but for me it's better than not knowing. what scares me is only having a teensy bit of information about something and not knowing the full picture.

[Love Fest1969]

Ouija board is really lame me and my friends did it a couple of times but nothing happened.

[dietcoketree]

i dont really get what the game DOES. ive never played it because comments like these always keep me away. i remember my friends used to play all the time but i never would cause i was scared. but i dont really get it at all. sorry if im sounding just dumb :/

[Kali _in_Oz]

Its not a game!!!

[GHOSTCRAB]

it a board with letters on it that two or more people use to communicate with the spirit world.
ten or so years ago I was dead against it, however now I have been a witch for a long time, I read the tarot, and I feel more open to it.
I think its a tool thats needs to be used with respect and wisely, if you call on the spirit world and don't know what your doing, its like opening your front door and asking whoever appears to be on your street in

Thanks Samhain - what I was trying to say - but you came across so much more articulate than I did!!

[warmhandedcanadian]

I know that Christians are dead set against it ..... I've had experiences with one but I'm sure that one of my friends was just making it move. At that time though, I was scared shitless!

[Kali _in_Oz]

I'm not against it, and I am certainly not a christian! All I am saying that its not a game, its not a toy, and ouija should only be used by people who know what they are doing!

[themnax]

what's to be scared of? what's to be any big deal about them at all. the silly thing moves by mutual consensus of the two or however many people who'se hands are on it, if the're all being honest, or the conscious intent of any of them who are not being entirely. period. that's it.

not saying there can't be or arn't all sorts of things. but that's the only thing that has anything really to do with a silly ouji board. or any other augury that involves/requires human involvement.

of course our subconscouses are connected to all sorts of things but that's neither good nor bad nor any big deal ether. there are lots of gratifyinly exotic real straingeness in this universe. enough to not require making some kind of big deal out of something that's not.

[revolution_time]

i think ouija boards are definatley powerful tools. now weather they open a door to another astral plane, or give your subconseince a voice is another matter. you could argue either way, and theres no way of prooving one or another.

Ouija boards........I had one that I found at an antique store on an old country road when I lived in Maine. I asked what the price was and I was told it's free and to take it. So I did. I ended up in the hospital. Alone in my apartment I had an encounter with 3 black spirits. Very materialistic and 3 dimensional I was attacked and left unconscious suffering a mild heart attack. Before the incident I never believed in that crap. Now I have respect for it

[**PsYcHoDeLiC**]

lol my dad told me a story about doing one in his twenties. they were all gathered round not taking it reali seriously (drunk) and one of his mates asked who would win the horse racing the next day at hampton i think. to there surprise the glass flew off the table and smashed onto the wall opposite.
spooky:eek: . x

[WeeDMaN]

man my buddy and some friends where using one, and this steph chick was scared right, well he asked the spirit if he can show a physical sign and he said no, then when he asked why he said "steph" and they looked at her and she was jus scared shitless lol. and I remember one time I asked if the afterlife was any better than where I am now and it said yes .

[steffan]

never open doors you cant close.
any witch worth her cowl will tell you, dont use these, expeciely if you already live in a house thats haunted. also never have a seance where you invite just anything that happens to be listening.
you have been warned throughout your life. whats the rule for vampires and boogymen? never invite them in your house!!

[mudpuddle]

I am Curious yet Sceptical of the Whole Thing...

[BlueJay]

Leave the ouiji board alone. You wouldn't open your door to your house and let any stranger off the street walk in, would you? Same thing. Mess with a board and you're opening yourself to any spirit, ghost, what have you to come for a little visit; and doing it that way is as Forrest Gump once said "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Want to take that chance? I wouldn't.

[themnax]

i aggree completely with that sentiment. i just don't see milton-bradly as being in the bussiness of creating ritual and magical tools.

of course i guess anything CAN be if you use it that way. we just weren't thinking in any such terms. my dad and i. we just wanted to see what it would do. and i'm real real sure, that by doing so, we DIDN'T "open a door" to anything. anything other then our own subconscouses.

what i DON'T aggree with is this notion, that everything even a little "mysterious" has to involve some sort of possibly sinister nontangable awairnessess. (the pretense that it does, is pure vested fanatical christer propiganda crap. and like any and all prejudice, that IS "evil".)

[BlueJay]

"what i DON'T aggree with is this notion, that everything even a little "mysterious" has to involve some sort of possibly sinister nontangable awairnessess"


How do you know you didn't? And just because nothing out of the ordinary happened to you in that particular instance, doesn't mean nothing with happen to someone else. I may be mistaken but by "just wanting to see what it would do", it seems you were taking it rather lightly, which is something I wouldn't advise.

[junco40]

Blue Jay is correct. Don't us ouija boards. They open portals for uniformly low level and frequently malevolant spirits to come in. Not many people know how to deal with such spirits when they come through. The ones who can deal with such spirits don't use ouija boards. They know that there are lots of ways of engaging far more powerful and interesting spirits. Why mess around with ouija boards and the low life spirits they tend to bring in when you can work with much higher and more interesting energies. If you really want to mess with spirits there are better ways to do it.

i never take the ordinary lightly. it is far more harmful and causing of pain and suffering, then then any unknown has ever been or ever will be.

all of it.

there is no force more harmful and distructive in all of existence then the aggressiveness of gratuitous pseudo-conventionality.

evil was not brought into this world by some 'demon', but by people worshipping one thing, any one thing, instead of all things.

by comparison, it is the mysterious and the unknown that make far safer playmates.

[ippi]

I have lots of experience about ouja and from spirits... I think it is a good way to communicate with spirits and an easy way...

[KyndMama07]

I believe that ouija boards are serious and should not be used. Psychic Sylvia Browne said that ouija boards open doors to derranged spirits. These are not spirits you want to deal with. I've never had a good experience and I'd avoid them at all costs.

[Starr]

I "messed around" with ouija boards a couple times when I was younger, and from my experience I agree with everyone on this thread that says they are dangerous and should not be used. They arent a game, and I dont understand why they are marketed as such. No one should ever use them.

[crud3w4re]

"Psychic" Sylvia Browne is a cold reading phony. Remember Shawn Hornbeck? He was recently found, but no, Sylvia Browne said that he was dead to his family lol. What a fake.

[luCKYgirl875]

ive used one before and some pretty fucked up stuff happened to the girls that did it with me afterwards but nothing to me

[fountains of nay]

Some guy did an experiment on Ouiji boards/seances and they discovered that it as all in the minds/actions of the people and that nothing paranormal was actually happening.

Think it was Derren Brown.

[Autentique]

When I was between 14-16 I think it was, I used them a lot with my friends we would get together and talk to spirits, weird things happened but nothing too scary. So I made my own crappy Ouija Board and would use it alone in my house and daytime of course :p
It would work perfectly, I think im very sensitive and I stopped using it because it said something scary, and I just remember this the other day and it freaked me out a lot. It said "kill zamira" ... zamira is my cousin, I love her, specially back then, I wanted to be like her. But I forgot this encounter with the Ouija Board and last year we had a problem, where she found out something and I kept thinking "I should kill her" and at time I didnt remember the thing with the Ouija Board, and I was in shock.. like why am I thinking this? I mean I dont even kill mosquitos, anything. Of course I didnt, but I kept picturing it.. and the other day I was reading here about Ouijas and it brought back my memories of the experiences I had with the game.
So yeah, It freaked me out... it still freaks me out.

[dazedandconfused11]

i used it once with my friend in my garage. my friend was pushing it with hes finger and saying its real and i was like your doing it, you idiot!.. then the light turned off by itslef.. i dont know if it was my sister or not but i got scared

[ElectronauT]

"Psychic" Sylvia Browne is a cold reading phony. Remember Shawn Hornbeck? He was recently found, but no, Sylvia Browne said that he was dead to his family lol. What a fake.Apparantly she also said she would help them find his body.. for a price? What a fuckin cunt. She denied this claim, of course, but as we already know she is a liar.

[Rider321]

Definitely do not get involved with a ouiji board or anything of the sort. It is not worth the risk. Another person and myself had an experience together with the spirit world(not using a ouiji board) and I know spirits exist. I will always know after what happened to us. No one will ever convince me or the other person that I was with that day otherwise. Believe me, you don't want to mess with the spirit world - you will open up a door that you will regret. Evil spirits exist but sometimes they masquerade as spirits of light. Be careful.

[NightRose]

Ive never tried a Ouija board but Ive heard a story once. There was a goup of kids that did it once at a mates house. One of the kids sat out as she was sick, while the other two played. Afterwarsd the other two left the sick one on the couch and went off to bed. In the morning they came out. The sick child was dead and the glass that they were playing with had been turned over and was broken in two pieces. It has been neither confirmed or denied that this story is true of course..but makes you wonder doesnt it

Well, I'd rather not speak about it but it was evil and not of the material world.

[darkain]

Oujia boards do indeed work. I remeber them working when I was a child. I have not tride one in about 10 years.

[The Guardian]

I have used a ouija board before. A couple friends and I did. We all were talking to a ghost, which I forget his name, and he was giving us a lot of answers. Then all 3 of us took our hands off at once, and it kept moving for about half an inch. Crazy stuff.

[No.Names.Left]

I personally find them...very fun...well atleast interesting. From my personal experience which was once said alot of things, some of it was right on truth, however the stuff about the future didnt quite work out, dang I was suppost to have some sweet ass girl friend or something. It was fairly pleasant except some questions made it crazy, like going back and forth between 2 letters.

As for my sister.... urgh scary things. A gumball machine(table top friendly size) the glass part exploded and gumballs rolled and bounced all around. Her friends and her also offered one a cookie (to be silly) and my sister ate it later.. like come on you cant eat it right? haha. Well then it got angry at her and complained about her eating it, though im sure it was funny, but to her probably scared her.

[steffan]

I'll say this again, Its is foolish to use a oujie board, whats the big rule you've been taught in countless stories and movies? NEVER INVITE THEM IN !! If you do you are asking for trouble, dont open doors you can't close

[AnOriginalName]

very interesting thread, to say the least.

[enfys moon]

i used to love ouija boards. but lately things have been happening to me, and im contacting the spirit world so to speak a lot more and a lot easier. now im not so sure i want to go there...

[flowerchild23-91]

I am way to scared of those things and i don't think that they should be used like play toys either.

[jagerhans]

I've read the thread and at the end my point of view is the same of Benedetto Croce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedetto_Croce) about the famous lore of malocchio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malocchio): I dont believe it... but one can never tell for sure! http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/newsmilies/leaving.gif

[Nirvana_raindrop]

I don´t know about these ouija-boards, but I´m interested in them. But I think one should be careful, contacting the other side. You never know who "picks up and replies".

[LittleRedOne]

Pretty fun, but for heavens sakes cast a protective circle beforehand or you could get unwanted spirit energies all around your house.

[The_Walrus]

Yeah, my best friend and I used to experiment with my Ouija board. Nothing remarkable ever happened.... Actually, I think she moved the planchette the whole time anyway.

[brack1936]

I used these things a few times when I was younger and I am still flabbergasted about how they work. My sister and I had lengthy conversations with good spirits and never had a bad experience. I haven't done anything like this since and I'm not really prepared to. Maybe the good experiences will run out. Who knows. But there has always been a prescence around me. It gets kind of freaky sometimes.

[broony]

Cant go life being afraid, me and a friend never done one. We gonna take this bitch on.

[Peace Child]

Well if these actually work then why don't they use it to prove to all those scientist people that believe everything has a logic explanation that there is something other then scientific explanations. Not saying that I don't believe in this stuff. I believe in spiritual experiences and ouija boards a lot. But I think we should use these to convince people that don't believe in ghosts and spirits.

[kidsmoke]

it's just a board made by milton bradley for god sakes. it's been proven it utilizes your subconscious mind, because when the users are blindfolded it will not work.

anyone else that says they were beat up by ghosts or whatever can kiss my dick.

[Four Winds]

thats one way of looking at them but not the only way. in any case I believe that all ritual and magical tools should be treated with respect
SThe magical, powerful, ritual tool used to contact beings from the afterlife- made en masse by Mattel!

-_- Ouija boards are toys. Anything produced by the thousands by machines each and every single day is not a ritualistic tool, it is a play toy for the worlds youth.

I think they can be a good tool for experimenting with your subconscious mind- but to suggest one should have utmost respect for a toy is a little ridiculous. Maybe if Ouija boards were made by hand by the Aztecs in the mountains of Mexico and blessed with a shamanic ritual- then I would have respect for it.

Not something hot off the assembly line...

[jirachi_pt]

Where could I find one, if I didn't wanna get it off the internet?

no, i mean that. it's just a board game dude. when i was 12 i bought one at fucking kmart.

This is interesting but I don't see how playing a board game can take over your mind...Really I'm quite curious about this and have heard so many stories about it that I might want to try..

[lucyinthesky16]

Ouija boards are not toys, they are not to be used as light entertainment and I strongly suggest not using them unless you have a comprehensive understanding of how they work and how to use them correctly.which is funny, because when i was younger i remember seeing it in the game/toy aisle, i think parker brothers produced it. and i remember thinking, ya know, that doesn't seem like a game to me!

[ElectronauT]

Whatshisface is right. They're bull and it's just your subconscious mind. Blindfold them, then turn the board 180 and see what happens.... well you don't even gotta turn the board but it works better.

[lucyinthesky16]

my mom told me you where talking to satan with that thing. while i don't readily believe that, i'm open to the possibility of talking to very dark, possibly evil spirits with it. so i tend to stay away from it.

[kar33m]

cant believe so many ppl actually believe that ouija has some kind of spiritual side to it LOL! It's just a borad game c'mon....

[junco40]

Ouija boards are not toys! Don't play with them! What they basically do is induce low level meditaions that open portals for very low grade troublesome spirits. It sort of like going down to the local hospital for the criminally insane and passing out keys to your house. You don't want such people in your life. You don't want such spirits in your life.

If you want to communicate with spirits or do other psychic stuff, there are lots of groovy shamanic disciplines you can pursue. Stuff that is way more fun, lots more powerful, much safer and much more enlightening. So go do somthing fun and cool and stay away from Ouija boards.

nothing unseen as any more or less 'evil' then we are ourselves.
the only REAL evil is to knowingly cause avoidable suffering.

all sorts of unseen things probably do exist, but pushing a piece of plastic arround on a piece of cardboard with letters and numbers on it ain't got shit from shinola to do with anything but itself.

now of course what sort of state you put your own mind in when doing so, that's another matter, with or without whatever props you're using to help do so.

yah i dont beleive that ouija bords are doors to the after life simply because that sounds like hourse shit to me, although it is fun to scare your self with them (and yes it is just a game). anyways thats all besides the point. my point is this story- i know this freaking whacko, scary, extremly catholic kid at my school and he told me a story that when his mother was using the board she asked "what makes you work" and it spelled out satan. now, because there insane christian rightests they, about yearly, buy a ouija board and set it on fire as a way of battling satan. really no bs.

I have been conducting Ouija Board session for 40 years, beginning when I was a child. I have logged many thousands of sessions over the years.

Hannah and I talked to Austin last night, no fucking joke So last night Hannah and I got out my Ouija and started messing with it.
We talked to this kid who was 7 and another who was 8. They weren't really exciting. The 7 year old left in the middle of conversation.

We were talking to the 8 year old and Hannah was like "Do you know Austin?" it didn't move. "Do you know Austin?" i asked. "Austin Lee Giacopelli. ALG." [incase you don't know, Austin was my best guy friend you died 3 months ago]

So hannah was getting mad that it wasn't moving so she said "If your Austin move to the 6" Guess what happened. Your right, it went to the 6. We started talking to Austin and asked him questions only hannah and him would know or only me and him would know. He anwsered all of them right.

He says he misses us and regrets doing it, That it wasn't Hannah's fault, That he still loves her, that he loves us, that he really misses dana, That it was an accedent and that he was on some kinda drug. We told him his tox screen came out clean and he didn't really say anything. He says that he was the one who put his mom's diamond earing on the rug when she lost it, but he wasn't the one who threw the glass off my T.V and that he wasn't the one who was messing with Ella's remote control car. I made him promise that if we came back today or tomorrow or even 3 months later that he would be there to talk to us. I made him spell out 'i promise'.

After this, I really do feel insanly crazily calm and peaceful.

Thank you Austin. I love you.



That was the best thing I have ever done with my life

[demondog]

no, i mean that. it's just a board game dude. when i was 12 i bought one at fucking kmart.
Kidsmoke,love your posts, you are a straight shooter.....and funny as shit!

[Lustandlove]

They are intriguing and appealing but I would agree with those who feel that they are not to play around with. They open things up and can get you haunted as far as I'm concerned. This alone can be strangely compelling, just out of curiosity. But you may find that things are weird long after you want them to go back to normal.

[Lustandlove]

Yeah they sell them at Kmart from Parker Brothers, but they have been around a lot longer than that and can lead to weird experiences for real.

[brack1936]

I find the thought of it quite comforting. I mean, I can speak with all the old explorers and those who have previously lived where I am. I, however, would rather not disturb the spirits. Although the idea is tempting. Just stay away from the bad spirits! Another thing is that they can strike before you can get rid of them. That's not good.

[lunnyonthegrass]

ive done ouija like three times and nothing happened!!! i even tried summoning the devil!!! that same night my sister offered me ice cream from 31 baskin robins, she never does that!!! hmmmm i think its all bullshit, your just letting your head get to you if you think you saw some shit or ghost or something. ouija works because your muscles move the thing slowly and your mind tells it where to stop it. from there the answers are coincedence. now seeing someone die in real life is fucking scary, that shit would traumitize you because its REAL!!!!!

Alright, well keep telling yourself that. I've had true experiences of channelling, so until you've had some, don't brush it off as just being in your head.

[Lustandlove]

Yeah. I have had times when they work sometimes astonishingly well, sometimes not as much. I have never had them work with just one person, but sometimes everyone can barely keep there hands on the pointer, as it were. It will just zip over the board and go right off the edge almost out from under our fingertips. Had some really good sessions when a friend wore a large crystal one time, too.

[*°GhOsT°LyRiC°*]

ouija boards isn't something to play around with, its interrupting spirits if you do channel them, and its not a game, even though they made it one, which is fucked up, but anyways, we don't have enough information about the afterlife and spirits to be messing with something like that, no one knows what happens if your channeling and bringing a spirit to you, what if that person has passed through to the other side and your bringing them back, and they cant get back to the other side?

lol, you're not actually channeling spirits with ouija boards. Sorry, but you need to get a little more informed about spirituality and the true nature of things.

The only thing your channeling with ouija boards are elementals, UNLESS, your a highly developed soul.

ouija boards, truly are just a game.

Souls that have passed on in this life, usually are too busy and don't have time to mess around with such pointless things.

Like I said before, unless you're spiritually evolved enough, you won't get through to the other side.

I agree that it is fucked up they are sold as a game. I also agree that they are not something to play around with. It can be addictive, in terms of curiosity. Shit happens afterward sometimes, too. Like getting yourself haunted. I haven't touched one in a long time.

haha! thats hillarious! and exactly HOW do you know this? im not usually rude, but this really made me actually laugh out loud. thats funny. im a professional researcher of the paranormal, and i think i am a bit informed. but seriously, thanks for the laugh, god i needed a smile tonite.

[dilligaf]

n i spose you are the all knowing paranormal investigator eh,,, i personally find it very hard to believe that sister, when you had no clue not long ago what a spirit guide was,,,, you are not as high n mighty in your field that you believe you are,,, step off your high horse... not trying to be rude of course,,, :)

You're not trying to be rude. You are succeeding!

Awesome, so your a professional researcher of the paranormal.

So?

One can be king of a nation, but be merly equilivent to a peasent on a spiritual level.

How do I know this? Because it is truth. Whether you want to believe so or not, does not make it any less so.

If you truly were spiritually advanced, you'd know that there really is no paranormal at all, it is all natural and far from being paranormal.

You can show me all the credential's, phd's and awards you want, but that doesn't reflect upon your spiritual progress. Just because your a professional paranormal researcher doesn't mean your a highly developed soul. Your on your way to growing though.

Whilst it may be fun hunting ghosts and whatnot, wouldn't it be better trying to progress spiritually?

Or better yet, why don't you try and look into the right ways of reaching through to the otherside?

Please, tell me how I am wrong about ouija boards?

Yeah, I might come off as acting like I'm "higher" than most people, but it is not. Humans have ego's, and in order to get your messege across one must first go through the ego - no matter what, I am just trying to help is all.

[Moon_Beam]

Everything I know about this has shown that it is just a game. I have given it a go - nothing happened, friends have given it a go - nothing, loads of people have and guess what - nothing!

If it was such a terrible thing where people die or become possessed by evil spirits if they don't close the door to the spirit world correctly, then people would know about it wouldn't they??

um.... ok.... rudeness aside, im not the ALL KNOWING paranormal investigator, but i do run a researching group, and study the paranormal. were a strictly SCIENTIFIC research group, so no, i wouldnt no anything about spirit guides, it doesnt really have anything to do with going to peoples houses and helping them out with the problems.

Ofcourse, you evade my post.

[*°GhOsT°LyRiC°*]

its pointless, you just want to argue.
im done arguing, thats it.
im not going to debate, i have way more things to do than battle you.

I was never looking for a "battle".

You come off acting all high and mighty, like earthly professions mean anything on a spiritual level.

If your going to use the line: "oh, I'm a professional paranormal researcher" make sure your ready to back yourself up.

You can't refute my argument just because your a so called professional.

never said i was going to. i just give advice from my experiences as an investigator.

[Bl4ck3n3D]

Right, but you attacked my claim on the basis that your a "professional paranormal researcher", like that makes you a professional in spirituality and the ways of the Universe, I don't think so.

You hunt ghosts.

[Chunk]

This is a very interesting thread, its amazing to see what some people let affect they're beliefs. There was a post a while back where someone said, and I quote "whats the big rule you've been taught in countless stories and movies? NEVER INVITE THEM IN", lol.

Also theres another post that says that ouija boards can't work because they are mass produced, it seems to me that the ouija board is just a tool for communicating but that the actual movement/energy come through yourself (whether spiritual of from your sunconscious) and therefor could just be drawn on a peice of paper of whatever, and does not have to be some kind of mystical enchanted relic.

Although I think the most amusing thing is when people talk with absolute cirtainty about how the paranormal works, its simply not possible to prove how things like that work at the moment otherwise it would have been done by now, all you have is your personal theory or belief about how it works.

Thats my 2 cents anyway http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[edenfield]

deep parts of our mind or other wordly entities i do not know.


but, i do know of an incident other than my own with this sort of thing.

my old english teacher told the class once what can happen after i told him what happened to me a few days before.
he was in training at a college near where i lived and it was a very old 17th centuary hall once owned by lower ranking royalty.
he messed about with a board with other graduates there. very stable minded, achieved good grades and popular with the kids he was.
the board apparently spelt out a name they had never heard of.
nothing more happened until he was walking back to his room.
he heard someone call his name, and when he turned round to see who it was something invisible knocked him out. when he woke his eyebrow was cut and he was bleeding. so he went to get it checked out where he had to have stitches at the hospital. the story went round the college hall and the monks who had residency there visited him. the teacher told them of what he did and of the name. the old monks told him they had a graduate called that, training in his final year here many years ago. apparently, the man whose name was revealed as the same name was found in the river on the college grounds dead. the post mortem concluded he had possibly fell of the nearby bridge, while drunk....with the same eyebrow cut open in exactly the same place...as my teacher showed us his scar.
my brother trained there just before my teacher and also heard the story of the man who fell off the bridge.

[edenfield]

my story is of a warping reality, not unlike something off some sci fi tv...things moving on their own, loud metallic echoing sounds inside my head, ...all this with no drugs lol...I told my teacher and thats how come he told us of his crazy shit.

[FinnishButterfly]

Ok.. a ouiji board is like a portal? Ok? To EVIL. You use a board you're inviting some fucked up shit into your house, and it's the dark side, I'm a psychic, even I know that, don't fuck with it..

[Bl4ck3n3D]

If only people knew the true nature of things.

You may be psychic, Finnish, but it doesn't mean you know.

[*°GhOsT°LyRiC°*]

that is incorrect. I do NOT "hunt ghosts", i am a paranormal reseracher, a professional one as well, but not in spirituality and the ways of the universe, no one is, and no one is even talking about that, only you. I take house calls from clients and use strictly scientific approaches. OK? maybe i got clear to you this time. i dont think im the professional of the universe and spirituality, that has nothing to EVEN DO with my job! think about it.

[toywolf]

I do NOT "hunt ghosts", whats that say under your name? ghost hunting hippie?

Do you find it useless knowledge to know about the universe , and our higher self within? Our spirit?

The truths that move everything? they shouldn't matter, right? as long as you can keep going into peoples houses and saying "did you see that move?!" and flashing your equipment everywhere. What do you think the spirits think of you?

I do not mean to piss you off or argue for no reason, but shit THE TRUTH IS the universe and spirituality has to do with EVERYTHING. Once you spiritually evolve for youself, you might see this. how everything is connected.


By the way, i had an immense blackmailing experience with the ouija boards, but I was in an odd state of "seeking the universe" mindset, with no foundation of knowledge, therefore the ouija board contributed to my vast intent to gain wisdom of things i once thought "crazy"

[FinnishButterfly]

I think some of you maybe should try it. :)

[ameliorateLJ]

I think ouija boards and their ability to call on spirits or entities from a different plane depends on the person who uses it. To some, it really is just a game. I can't really explain why this is, but I think some people are born with a heightened awareness of these things...and there is no way using an Ouija board could be a simple game to these sorts of people.
I think it really has to do with the inner depth of the person and their willingness to accept the idea of something other-worldy.
Personally, I don't "play" with ouija boards. I don't think it's a game for everyone, and I think some people are far more susceptible to the danger the board can call on. I'd rather not take the chance.

[*°GhOsT°LyRiC°*]

ghost hunting hippie is just something i put below! my real name isnt ghost lyric either! sheesh!

No one is? Really, who are you to decide that "no-one" is a highly developed soul whose ran their fair share of lives and knows the ins and outs of the Universe?

I only wish that you would focus more on the spiritual aspect, you're thinking too physically to find out any truth about ghosts.

When I see ignorance being bred and spread, I will step in.

i've now got to step in. blackened you're no fun. oh wait. dude sorry i forgot that you've got a much higher power over me and anyone else. being that you're "currently the most elavated soul on the planet." anywhere. subtract this entire post from the thread. it equals nine.

[Exar]

it's just a board made by milton bradley for god sakes. it's been proven it utilizes your subconscious mind, because when the users are blindfolded it will not work.

anyone else that says they were beat up by ghosts or whatever can kiss my dick.

QFE (especially the last bit)

why is it people who think they were assaulted by ghosts so vague and indescriptive and offer some weird story. everyone says you should "know what you're doing" but i cant find a genuine manual to the spirit world. i expect as many exist as overactive imaginations

I have never been assulated or harrassed by an entity as a result of using an ouija board, but believe me it can happen. It is possible to accidentally create a permanent portal from the spirit world to our world and your life will likely be ruined from all the deamons and spirits that wish to cause you physical and emotional harm. Whatever you do, when you are using an ouija board be sure not to ask the entity to do something outside the board, such as "turn on the lights" or "move that table" because you are effectively inviting the entity into your house and good or bad, and it may not wish to leave. Also, at least saying a protection prayer and mabey even casting a circle coulden't hurt.

[bickelman]

why is it in all the accounts of violent spirits in this forum there either involve heart attacks or broken glass

[PsyGrunge]

I'm skeptical as shit when it comes to Ouija boards. They've been both played with and taken seriously by friends and myself - yet always finished with a skeptical viewpoint.

[broony]

a friend of mine played with one of the boards several years ago. he was with a few people and his sister asked "how am i going to die" and it said "17 car crash". at 17 she was killed by a drunk driver.

i have heard lots of bullshit from them and also scary stuff. i havent tried one so i dont really have much of an opinion.

it is a board game though....

[Alva]

These stories are very interesting,
Anyway I have no experience with ouija boards and I dont think ill ever use one..all these stories have scared me.

Believed when seen or experienced.

The Ouija only has as much majic as you put in to it.. as any inanimate object.. If you are fearfull, you will draw fearfull things.... It's the power within you, not a board with letters painted on it.... If you are looking for a parlor game... stick with parcheesy... If you have not Mastered your own majic, don't go messing around with shit you could harm your Spirit with...You need only to connect with your Higher Self to find answers to questions you have.............................................. ........................................

[SweetBriar]

I haven't read the entire thread, skimmed a few pages.

I used to have a wonderful Ouija board my mother gave to me years ago. It was lost in a fire. For those fearful and curious, no the board was not actually involved in the fire in any way, excpet for being flamable (as were all my books, clothes, and new cotton print Indian tapestries, the latter being the real culprit in the destruction.) I miss it a lot. I could by another, but that one was special because it made me think of Mom.

I used the Ouija for many years without any negative incidents. At times I was really open, I had some interesting stuff happen. At times I was closed down and just fucking around with it, we got only garble. I think however, that if you're serious about using the Ouija or any other talking board as a tool of consciousness, then do not treat it as a game, and use it with respect. Frivolous use of any tool will get frivolous results. The same can be said for fearful or superstitious use of any tool. Garbage in, garbage out.

The stories of breaking glass and other drama, I have to say, are utter bullshit. I'm going to stand firm by that opinion, and I believe I have the experience to do so. It is wood and plastic, people, manufactured by Parker Brothers.

Fake, Fake, Fake. Growing up, I was one of those kids who always watched shows like "X-Files, Ripley's Believe it or not, Fact or Fiction, Unsolved Mysteries, etc.". I truly believed in all kinds of things, especially spirits and demons. I was ecstatic to finally get my hands on a Oujia Board when I was 14.

First thing I did was simply leave it under my bed for 6 months. No weird dreams, no visitations, nada. I finally got the courage to go out with 2 of my friends to a Jewish Holocaust cemetery around my house around 1am and play around with it there. The planchette moved randomly, we asked the board questions, got nothing but nonsense out of it. Disappointed, we all left and didn't mess with it for about 3 months.

My friend got a job at the hospital as a janitor in a bad neighborhood, we figured, shit, Dead People Central!; The board should work now! He let us in through the basement around 11pm and we messed with the board in one of the closets down there without cameras. The planchette this time was practically dead. We even tried resting just the tip of our nails on the corners of the planchette to offer as little resistance as possible, the thing just sat there. We simply ended up tossing it in the garbage chute there and that was the end of my curiosity.

The mind is a powerful thing. People see/hear whatever the fuck they think they're going to see if they're afraid enough.

[veiled1]

its not the board that makes things happen,people are portals...when every one sits around and envokes a spirit (board or no board) things will happen...also it has everything to do with who you're with and the place you're in at the time you are envoking...I do agree with others here though...Unless you know what youre doing you shouldnt "mess around" with it..Its very dangerous..Know yourself and the others with you very well............
