I watched a lot of videos related to ouija board, but non of them seems to be real. So i need some explanations. anyone here ever played ouija? is there any creepy things happen? :/

I've seen an experiment on the reality of a ouija board (for those who believed in it in the first place), and it turned out that the group of people kept finding logical answers to questions asked.
However, as soon as they got blindfolded the block didn't even land on letters anymore, just random spaces in between. This means people move together to a logical answer, mostly unconsciously probably. That, or they repress all logic just to believe in a greater power.

Hasbro bought the Ouija brand in the 90s. They are marketed for use for the ages 8+. In my opinion, they cannot be as dangerous as most would have you believe given they are advertised as a children's toy.

Isn't that the same company that pays slave wages to Chinese workers to manufacture their product? IMO they would probably sell our kids a bag of rusty razor blades if they could get away with it and make a buck.

I would not encourage a child to experiment with spirit contact.

Ok, ok, I know the whole thing is not real, but I played with a Ouja board once with by friends at a party, and it really creeped me (and everyone else) out. We talked with a ''77 years woman who died hundreds of years ago''', and without lights, only candles. It was really fun! Even if you don't believe this kind of thing, it's still fun to play if you're not THAT guy/gal.

The point of an Ouija board is to feel creepy, but there has been no proven connection to the supernatural. Just a board game made by some guys.

It works via the ideomotor response. I'm pretty sure research into why the ouiji (or 'automatic writting' before Hasbro comercialized it) board works lead to the creation of the field of hypnosis :p

I played with a Ouija board when I was a kid. You put your fingers very lightly on the planchette(?) I think that's the word...it came from nowhere or maybe a ghost....lol

anyways, you ask a question, then you put your fingers lightly on one side of the planchette and your brother puts his fingers a little heavier on the other side. Now depending on the question, you get a response.

Say the question is: Is Daisy beautiful?

Immediately you feel a tug toward the word NO.

Somehow your fingers are compelled to halt the progress and veer the planchette over toward the YES.
A power struggle ensues with the Ouija board getting tipped over and a slapfest between siblings.

Spooky!

If all you required was a board to access the spirit world, then wouldnt the yanks have perfected this and turned it into a weapon by now?

Given they have not i am inclined to believe its just a board game. No different to monopoly.

How much does the US Powers that be spend on killing people each year via there war machine?
I assume more than any other Country X 100.

If these boards were real then i suspect the US would have perfected it and weaponized it.
Atleast thats how i feel from the other side of the world.

These things work it is just that most people have no clue how to use it properly. It take years to build a trust with a particular chosen spirit guide and form a meaningful communication. You have to prove that you respect the assistance from the spirit realm. Also most people do not know how to make preparations before each Ouija session or how to properly end a session.
Daisy3 [730750]

I was looking at your forum siggy and trying to remember the name of that old tv series that had that in it. All I can remember is the sheriff or FBI agent like cherry pie.

Anyways....how would someone who communicates with the spirit world end a session? Now you have me curious.
DARKSTAR_ZETA [1888275]

The tv show you are thinking of is Twin Peaks. It's making a come back with new episodes.

Ending a session is like closing a spiritual window making sure the spirit is not trapped and hanging around. That's why the spirit gets upset when people use Ouija for creepy laughs. There is no one particular way to do this and a simple blessing of release back to where ever the spirit came from would be enough.

Also spirits require some form of anchor energy in this realm so before using the Ouija place a cup of water nearby and firmly state to the spirit that they may use this to draw energy from it and make sure to state that it is the only thing they can use to do so. It helps build up trust.

Spirits are very hungry and will easily take advantage of the environment if you do not exhibit authority and control over the communication session.
Daisy3 [730750]

Twin Peaks! That was it. Thanks Darkstar, that would have driven me crazy until I remembered. lol

If a Ouija board acts as a gate for the spirit world, do you think it should be used by children? It's in the game section in the toy department.
DARKSTAR_ZETA [1888275]

Unless accompanied by an adult who understands it's proper usage children should not use it. There are plenty of other games better suited for the developing mind of a child.

By its nature and its viral meme existence Ouija can easily exert obsessive influence on weaker minds, both children and adults, and is closely linked with quantum-like negative karma - sort of reminds me of soft invisible electricity phasing in and out and accompanied by multitudes nano-second flashes of tiny circular dots.

Corporate greed has turned many a sacred thing into objects of profit. What's done is done.
