it's actual spirits. it can open things in the spirit world
and they can end up haunting your house... thats
what happened to my sisters friend after they played
with one non-stop. i wouldn't recommend playing with one.
one time my sister asked what my dads dads middle name
was, and it knew. & no one in the room knew it but my sister.
weird? i never played with one again.
-- as to making them movie, yeah i really think its ghosts.
idk =P its weird to think its just a plastic game.

omgg, its so freaky. it seriously works.
me and my bff did it and we turned off all of the lights and she was like "is my sister going to get in trouble??." because she did something bad.. haha its a long story and besides the point. anyways, it said yes and the next day she got grounded and got her phone taken away. its sooo freakyy!!.

your hands. :weird:
jk. I never used one. But i have the board. Oh wait- we sold it at a yard sale. the later grabbed it and started going "ooooo posses me!!!"
she left, thank gawd.
I wouldnt use one. Because im afraid of ghosts. And i would hate for them to be "released" by using it. So its not on my check list.

My mom decribed it as this:
If you were, say, in a cage with a lion, 20 feet away from it, would you still feel safe? Answer: No. That's how it is with an Oujia Board. It can still enter you.

A Ouija Board works by your unconscious mind moving the pointer, it's not actually ghosts doing it. If you ask it a question the most likely result will be the answer that the person that holds the pointer wants to hear. There's nothing spiritual about it, it's just a gimmick/toy.

And is one's mind really that strong to move something?

It has always been mysterious. It has always been mystifying. Sit opposite your partner and rest your fingers lightly on the planchette. Now ask your question. Concentrate very hard...and watch as the answer is revealed in the message window. Will it tell you YES...or NO? Will it give you a NUMBER...or SPELL out the answer? Ask any question you want. Ouija will answer. It's only a game isn't it?
i found that online...i think its the ghost because there is life after death no mater what ppl say.

You misunderstood me, by moving with your mind I mean your brain telling your arms to move the thing for you (you're holding the thing after all). Even if you're not aware of doing it.
And who knows who made the first Ouija board or why, the things date back thousands of years. Who knows why they were made.

Maybe they were made solely and purposely to communicate with demons. Maybe they were made by witches to communicate with them and posess people. I really don't know, but that's my guess. But I heard somewhere they were made by a man.

But if there was someone watching, they would know that you were moving it with your hands.
Actually they wouldn't, the movements are so subtle and unintentional that you can't really tell. The only real proof of a Ouija board working would be the pointer moving without touching it. Haven't you ever wondered why you have to touch it? There's no real reason for it (I know someone will use the channeling spiritual energy argument or something like that) other than needing something to move it.
And that video is obviously faked seeing the camera shakes before it happens (probably a third person present), there's also no reason why they should stop the video there.

But maybe they don't want to get scared...or maybe like someone else was saying before, it will lead them to believe they'll be cursed if they watch it.
Now, I don't know a thing about this topic, I haven't even heard of one of these things, but now after reading the posts, I don't think it's such a great idea to play with it. It seems suspicious to me. I don't know, just by the comments I'm reading I don't think it's a toy to be played with for fun or for no reason at all.

i understand ur concern i agree: its not a toy, there is a connection to spirits some how
and its not safe at all. im a christian too and i agree that its wrong to play with those
things (read wat i posted b4). but i do think ur going a bit extreem with the haunted
thing. i do agree that spirits r hooked to it, and if u dont guard urself carefully then u
could be possesd. but u r going a bit extreem.

Its the persons choice whether or not to do it. Whether she[or he] gets possessed or not doesnt matter.
It wouldnt be anyones fault but there own. its there decision and any results that come with it could of been prevented if she[or he] chose to not do it. People can say whats bad about it and it can change her mind, but its still her decision .
And part of them inside will still be curious and they should just get it over with now. They are gonna try it sooner or later.

ALL!! seriously it opens u up to bad things, and u asked b4 if u just watched ur friend
mess w/ it would u still be opened. 1st probably, the spiritual world shoould NOT be
tested, 2nd if ur scarred to be opened to something like that, would u really want ur friend
to be opened to it??

You guys, STOP getting freaked out.
It's completely and totally not real in any way at all.
It's absolutely just a toy, and I believe that 100%.
Yes, I've used them before.
At summer camp last year these girls in my cabin had one and we would mess around with it. The "spirit" kept saying that I was evil and stupid and that I had a bad aura and stuff. The girls believed in it and then they literally wouldn't let me stay in their cabin because they thought I was possessed. I had to sleep OUTSIDE one night. The counselors found out about it though and got pretty mad haha. But it was totally not real, and I know that my cabinmates just didn't like me or something stupid like that.
I've tried "testing" ouija boards several times by asking it the answers to questions that no one but me would know. It never worked. Why do you think that someone always has to have their finger on it? Because someone has to be moving it and it wont' move by itself.
I know that Christian people don't like them and stuff because you're putting some kind of belief in "other" powers or whatever, but it's not evil and you're not going to be haunted for the rest of your life.

I still think its fake. But just because you dont know a ben isnt a reason to say it doesnt work. I mean, Are you getting married this year? or did i miss something?
If it were to be real, you dont know a Ben NOW. Your not getting married now. your getting married later [if ever]. Theres so many years, days and even seconds for you to meat someone named ben...

But yeah, it didnt work. Which alot of people thought. Now you have nothing to worry about. Besides, there was what , 2 or three people? one of those people could have tried you to trick you and moved it themselves and one of those times, One of those answers could have been real.

I want to use one, but then again I don't I'm really scared of spirits and stuff...
My friend asked it who she's lose her V to, and it said Kevin (it was like 2 years before that happend) and it was right.... WEIRD.
So I KNOW they work. Just sometimes, people move them by themselves... is there anything you say before you use it?

Maybe your friend wanted it to be nick bad enough that she moved it herself without even knowing . Thats definitely possible.
or maybe she didnt care at all but was thinking of nick at the time , that it spelled out Nick.
not that i believe it. And i doubt its spirits Im just looking at the options.
And i wasnt saying it was real. I was saying that just because you dont know a Ben , thats not a good reason to say its fake. Especially since you have so many more days and years to meet a ben. And its not like your getting married tomorrow.
oh and another thing it could be, Did she say Nick Jonas? If no .Nick jonas isnt the only guy named Nick.

ok just so u kno...thats NOT a toy!! ive never messed with one, and i dont plan
to. theres somehting seriously messed up with them! u may not be "haunted"
for the rest of ur life, but ur opening urself up to a world u do NOT want to get
into. i kno a person who played with one and they r seriously messed up now!!
dont play with it!
Are you sure your buddy is messed up because of the board? Or just like messed up because of... life.
You misunderstood me, by moving with your mind I mean your brain telling your arms to move the thing for you (you're holding the thing after all). Even if you're not aware of doing it.
And who knows who made the first Ouija board or why, the things date back thousands of years. Who knows why they were made.
Well that's a possibility. They could have been made to let people hear what they wanted to hear. And the subconcious thing is a possibilty too...
But I do think someone would notice if their arm was moving, even subtlely...
I'm really tempted to play now. :P
But I don't wanna be possessed or whatever. XD
Me too.
I think the possession thing could be in the minds of some people, most those of Christian faith.
I'm not Christian, as most of you know... I've made it well known to where most people know that, but I don't think that spirits will come and attack you and kill you and mess you up.
I know people who are perfectly fine from using it, and I think it might only work if you say something or do something to open up the spirit world.
Spirits just cant randomly find you right?
Maybe if you are Christian that could benefit you, Christ could prevent spirits from harming you and stuff... but I don't really know.
I'm not really sure whether I want to play it or not, I'm just scared of Ghosts. Always have been, always will be. I can't have my blanket hanging off the bed ever since 'the Exorsism of Emily Rose'

I think it's BS, TBH. Not that I don't believe in spirits, you move the pointer yourself I believe (I've never played), my mother said she played with the Ouija Board when she was about 11 years old with some friends. Supposedly, the board never her gave her the answers. She did it several other time's with her friends, she hasn't been haunted or possed. She's never seen a ghost before, and she's almost 55 years old.
You know people can MAKE themselves go crazy, even start seeing and hearing that aren't really there, specially if they weren't so mentally healthy to begin with. If you fear somthing too much, you can get anxious and overly cautious of everything.
I guess their's a chance the game wasn't played the "right" way, this is the How-To Guide, I found.
It takes two to Ouija. Usually one person is not able to work the Ouija. Get a friend to use it with you. A male and female is usually recommended.
Timing. Most practitioners suggest using the board at night when, they say, less interference is in the atmosphere.
Create some atmosphere. The Ouija is more fun if you darken the room and light some candles. Turn off the TV and any music to minimize distractions.
Have a seat. The two users should sit facing each other, with knees touching if possible, with the board on their laps. Don't use a table.
Decide on a questioner or medium. Even though both people can ask questions -- or anyone else in the room can -- only one of the users should be the medium (the one to formally ask questions of the board).
Place your fingers on the planchette. You and your partner should place the fingers of both hands very lightly on the planchette, or pointer.
Move it. Purposely move the planchette around in a circle on the board for a moment or two to get it 'warmed up.'
Attitude. Don't let the board control the session. The medium should begin by announcing that the session will only allow an experience that is positive or toward a higher good and that negative energies are not welcome.
Begin simply. Start with a simple question, one that requires a yes or no answer.
Be patient. You might not begin to get answers right away. Give the board a chance to 'warm up.'
Be polite. When the board starts working, thank the board or entities for showing up and communicating with you.
Don't ask stupid questions. Avoid questions such as, 'When am I going to die?' If the board answers, 'in 6 months,' you might just worry about it needlessly.
Don't ask for physical signs. Many experienced users warn against asking for physical signs that the 'spirit' is real or present.
Don't believe everything the board tells you. Just as with any other source of information, don't accept whatever the board says to be the truth or accurate.
Close the board. This is an important step. When you're done with your session, slide the planchette to 'GOODBYE' and remove your hands.Tips:
Have someone write down the answers. Sometimes the letters spell out very quickly and it's difficult to keep track of what's being said. A third person with paper and pen can write down the message as it comes.
Play sober. You'll get better results if you haven't been drinking or smoking.
Maintain control. If the board starts giving rude, vulgar, obscene or otherwise disagreeable responses, break off the session immediately by closing the board.(NEVER do anything you don't want to do, I'm just posting this from About.com. It seem's their might be a certain way to contact the spirits, If it does work..)

Maybe Kevin is the person that she wanted to....you know....with.
Sometimes it's just wishful thinking.
There are things that you have to say before you use it, yes.
My friend had an ouija book that had all sorts of things that you could say.
Mostly it's just like praising the "spirits" and telling them that you believe in it and focusing your energy and mind on it.
If you make something up that works fine too though.
how does closing the board effect it?
im intrested now :o
it "closes your connection to the spirit world" apparently so there's no chance of you or one of the other people getting possessed or whatever.
btw, I totally don't believe that it works, I'm just telling you what I know about them :P

Never tried it, but the fact that there's a nice little http://www.busymom.net/reviews/hasbro.gifHasbro sticker on the side of the board comforts me.
