The Ouija Board is a conductor for evil spirits. It's like a doorway. If you open yourself up to them they will take advantage of the opportunity. Ouija boards are not toys. They do work for some people. I will not have one in my house.

I do indeed. But instead of believeing that they are "spirits" or "souls" I think of them as more a form of energy coming from humans either living or dead. Like when you hear something in your house that has no identifiable source, I believe that it's the energy from the previous owners of the home left behind. Ghosts, to me seem like the energy of the deceased and can be either good or bad depending on the person it belonged to. But that's just my theory :P\n\nOh, and I justify it by believing that humans have such high mental processes, and in times of great stress or joy, I think our brian overworks itself and emits this energy that stays in the world for however long. When we die, I don't believe in heaven or hell, but I'd like to believe that we leave something behind, and having seen and heard ghostlike things, I can only imagine that they are real, and that we do leave behind SOMETHING.

Sorry annmariet14, but you're wrong.\n\nTarot cards were NEVER a card game. They were always what they are now.\n\nThe 52 card deck that you use for card games derived from Tarot cards as a way for readers to hide what they were doing to avoid being burned at the stake.\n\nIn answer to the question, you can trust the cards if they are read by a reputable reader.

Don't mess with it. You are not ready to handle what happens after you mess with. burn it if i was you. Bad stuff will happen to you if you continue to use it.\n\nOuija: How Does It Work?  \n \nIs the Ouija a fascinating game for harmless fun... or a dangerous gateway to the unknown? \nYour fingertips lightly touch the edge of the planchette. Your friend does the same on the opposite side. You consciously move the planchette in circles around the board to get it “warmed up.” Then you ask your question. No response at first. Then slowly the planchette begins to move, seemingly on its own – at least you’re not trying to move it. Sliding from one letter to the next, the planchette spells out its answer. And it seems to fit. More questions are asked, and with increasing speed the Ouija provides its responses, letter by letter. Seemingly with significance. Sometimes with dark significance.\n\nWhat’s behind the Ouija? How does it work? Is it, as the manufacturer suggests, a harmless game? Or is something more sinister involved? In a recent poll of readers conducted at this site, 65 percent believed the Ouija to be a dangerous tool. While a majority of respondents (41 percent) believed that the board was controlled by the users’ subconscious, 37 percent believed it was controlled by spirits, and 14 percent feared that it was under the influence of demonic spirits.\n\nThe Ouija board as we know it dates back to the late 1800s when at the height of the spiritualist movement it was a popular parlor game. Over the years, many manufacturers have marketed Ouijas and other “talking boards.” At The Museum of Talking Boards – one of the best websites about the Ouija – you can see and read about the many incarnations of the board. Currently, apart from the familiar Ouija board marketed by Parker Brothers (now part of Hasbro), there are about eight other styles of talking boards that all work in pretty much the same way – with a pair of hands resting on a planchette that points to words or spells out answers to questions asked.\n\nThe Ideomotor Effect\n\nThe ideomotor effect refers to involuntary and unconscious motor behavior. The term “ideomotor action” was coined by William Carpenter in 1882 in his explanation for the movements of dowsing rods and pendulums by dowsers, and table turning by spirit mediums. The movement of pointers on Ouija boards is also due to the ideomotor effect.\n\nCarpenter argued that muscular movement can be initiated by the mind independently of volition or emotions. We may not be aware of it, but suggestions can be made to the mind by others or by observations. Those suggestions can influence the mind and affect motor behavior. What is purely physiological, however,  appears to some to be paranormal.\n\n– from The Skeptic’s Dictionary\n \nWhy to many people believe that spirits make the Ouija’s plastic planchette move? For one, because they cannot understand how their subconscious might be doing it. For another, the Ouija itself often tells them so. It’s not uncommon for users to ask during a session, “Who is controlling this board?” And very often the Ouija will oblige the users, spelling out a name unknown to the users. Further inquiries sometimes reveal that the controlling spirit died recently, or some other such drama, and can provide cryptic messages and even warnings to the users. Too often, however, users take these messages at face value, never considering that they could be coming from their own imaginations.\n\nSo which is it? Are we controlling the Ouija or not? The Museum of Talking Boards articulates the two prevailing theories on how the Ouija works – the automatism theory and the spiritualist theory:\n\nThe Automatism Theory – The clinical term is “ideomotor response.” You may not know that you are moving the message indicator, but you are. This is similar to automatic writing, also know as automatism, a well-understood phenomenon. Mediums in years pas

Oh man I got one!!  We snuck in around midnight I think and we brought our OUIJA board with us.  So we asked the OUIJA board if it was trying to reach us.  It said yes.  2 seconds later a phone starts ringing somewhere within the cemetary but there was none.  We freaked out!!

Lots. I never talked to 'Ouija' as some say they have. I don't understand what that is. We talked to my friend's aunt. A girl from high school that died. My grandpa.\n\nThe 'guest' was often able to tell us things the players did not know - like the color of underwear of someone in the room. \n\nWe could talk to Marilyn Monroe - but not Elvis. Hmmm....\nSome spirits were very strong and not nice and would try to stab me with the pointer.\n\nYou don't even need a board. Draw it out on a table and use a clear plastic cup or something.\n\nSome people have the right vibe to get it going. Always need two. \n\nSome spirits were young. Some wanted us to find their killer. Often they are fibbers though. The common people we would talk to we would make up special passwords etc.\n\nAsk simple yes and know questions.\n\nSend me a message if you want more.

I agree with Saggart ....I know this is off the subject but I was once into the occult before I returned to God and I have to say that you create an opening for the evil a gateway that they can come through and attack you. I had many eerie things happen during the time I was involved with this. It can be as simple as a ouija board or as serious as chants and incantations. The truth is there are evil spirits,demons that can invade our very bodies.

did you ever play that game when you were a kid - you all sit in a circle and someone whispers a message into the next person's ear, it travels around the whole circle in whispers until the last person speaks it aloud? Remember having a laugh at the crazy hogwash that it tended to turn into by the end of the round? Now imagine that it is not a bunch of kids having fun for 10 minutes, but a large number of powerful people with varying agendas who played this little game for 2000 years...;-)
