Do Ouija Boards Really Work?

"It's Only a Game, Isn't It?"

The Ouija board or "talking board" has fascinated millions since its invention in the 1800s. Many predictions of future events, as well as life direction have purportedly been received from talking boards. Some of the most interesting advice received from Ouija Boards has been the
 foretelling of impending doom, winning lottery numbers, as well as direction for major life decisions. But of greater interest to most people would be the idea that we can communicate with the those who have crossed over to the other side of the grave.

A coffin maker originally invented the talking board, naming it "Oujia" after what he thought was an Egyptian word for "luck." The invention was purchased by Kennard Novelty Company. Later, the Oujia Board's ownership was assumed by William Fuld who marketed it in mass. Eventually, Parker Brothers purchased the rights to the Oujia Board and still market it today in toy stores around the world. Many artisans from various countries and cultures craft unique styles of the talking board and market them on-line.

Tales of the Ouija Board have caused many to fear it. Some believe that evil spirits will come through and harm or even possess the talking board user. Others believe that its usage may invite harmful ghosts to haunt one's house, or that bad luck may ensue after using the Ouija Board. So what is the Ouija Board story? My take is that fear is never truth, nor does it have any power beyond what we give it.

If all of you think the Ouija board is a game, all of you are stupid. The Ouija Board has NEVER been a game and it's used to talk to dark and evil spirits. People may tell you otherwise to get you to buy it like, they might tell you that you can talk to your loved ones who have passed away with it. But thats no where near true. Once you use the Oujia board, it never leaves and it will never stop haunting you. Trust me, I should know. My mom used it when she was young and dark spirits are always sitting on her bed and tormenting her. We have many spirits our home thanks to the Ouija board use. It's not fun, and it can tempt you so much, you will buy it. I just saw one in a store today and I felt like I was being Lured to it. I NEVER wanted a ouija board and I knew that they were extremley bad because every single one that is made, comes with your own set of dark evil spirits. My friend Rachel used one, she got really freaked out because it knew every single thing about her, her name, he

Me and a couple of friends went and bought it one night, We got it home and started playing it, everything was cool. Then a couple days after playing it, some of us started having nightmares so bad we couldn't wake up while in the nightmare and a lot of other things happened to us. But after so many days of us playing the board it started (or whatever,whoever) we were communicating with started to get HATEFUL and saying bad things to us, like we were gonna get raped int he piddle of the night. I dodnt think it was possible, and prolly isnt, but I'm just gonna say I will never play one EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE!! I believe and have faith in God and all his mighty powers. I wouldnt recommend anyone to try this so called "game". It's anything but a GAME! I believe it EVIL just waiting to happen. I learned my lesson. GOD BLESS

How can people be so stupid. Honestly how stupid does a ouija board sound."Hey who wants to come contact dead people with a piece of cardboard" If you honestly think your actually talking to spirits then your an idiot. Your moving the planchette thing subconciousley its been proven. Plus when you die you either go to heaven or hell not into a "spirit world"

I'm fourteen, and I just played it for the first time last night. I'm been wanting to play it for a long time now, and when I finally found a friend who had one, I was so excited. It was an interesting experience. I was shocked it actually worked, especially since my friend and I used a cd (we didn't have a pointer) so the words/numbers/letters it moved to woud show up in the center of the disk, in the hole. I asked it what it was, and it spelled out ' a demon'. I asked it if it was old, and it said yes. I asked it how old it was, and it went to '0'. I asked if it was in the room with us and it said yes, and I asked if it would leave when the game was over and it said yes. I asked its name but it just seemed like a bunch of jibberish. There was a lot of letters, all I remember is it started with something like amehe... I asked, "Are you the actual board, or are you something seperate, merely using the board as a way to communicate with us? Yes if you're the board, no if you're seper
