Ouiji Boards

[koots]

My sister bought an old Ouiji board today and I'm really excited to play with it. I've never hada bad experience with one. How about you guys have you ever played with one? Good experiences? Bad ones?

I had a friend who was playing with one and the board spelled out 'cover your eyes' then a window shattered. Whether or not he was telling the truth I don't know but he was scared shitless when we made one to play with.

My friends and I used to play in an old haunted house(rather nervewracking) and it was good although one time we got really scared and booked it from the house. Just because of a creepy feeling.

Neither of us will play it in the house we live in either. Don't want to invite bad spirits into our homes I guess.

Don't be scared of all that you hear. Everything that happens is in your own head.

No, i've never played one, but thats because all my friends have taken all the scary films they have seen to heart, and won't do one with me. :mad:

[javaD]

Dude...don't worry you are not going to hell man! people say that demons come out and all that shit but that's horse pucky. And to make things worse, a Priest from my church taught me how to play it.

[paraskeet]

Ouija boards are pretty cool. I used to have one when I was younger and me and my friends would play with it a lot. I've never had a serious experience with one. It made us get into arguments with each other. The nights with an Ouija board consisted of us all yelling over who moved the indicator. We would try and "contact spirits" but we would just be laughing too hard for anything cool to happen.

Don't call your sister it.

Well we all know nothing but a mysterious board game could control our lives

[gizzalove]

I had one when I was like 12 or something. I pushed the thing around and made words and freaked my friends out.

I have a bad experience with a Ouiji board, when I was about 10 in school a classmate brought one in, we took it into the cloakroom and played it there. We got caught and sent home for the day and told 'not to play with black magic'. That was the worstest experience I ever had with black magic.

[Haggis McSpud]

I wouldn't say a lot of spiritual encounters would be real, a few friends and I stayed over at a haunted castle last Halloween, a bunch of them managed to get themselves freaked out saying someone was knocking around inside the cupboard in their bedroom, and other people just took really random mood swings or else suddenly got really tired for no reason whatsoever. I myself was alone in the castle for about an hour and a half while they all went trick o' treating and watched some horror film quite contentedly, with no spooky happenings at all. Play away at the Ouija bored, something bad will only happen if you think it's going to happen.

[Niki]

Once at my friends house, it spelled a bunch of random letters then some hats fell down and we all got really scared and left the room for like 5 minutes.

[Christoffason]

Cluedo is also an excellent boardgame, there is crime and mystery and plenty of dastardly deeds going on.

[koots]

Oh I'm not scared to play with it, played with them before. I just don't believe they should be played in someones house. (or the house I'm living in/staying in)

It's just the ghosts of the Parker Brothers, raping your soul for copyright infringement.

[Fluzz]

Ouija boards are the kind of thing I avoid. Careless people can summon bad spirits, weird shit happens and ignorance can lead to harm. Either way its a stupid idea to dick around with them.

[Niki]

Haha you believe stuff actually happens. It's just a game.

[paraskeet]

Ouija boards can't summon anything. It's just a board thats fun to fuck around with. It's only the people that are really deep into it that get "possessed."

[/.\]

Either way its a stupid idea to dick around with them.Because you might get bad spirits on your dick?

You can go to a cheap strip bar for that.

[Raxo]

I used one once with some friends and nothing happened. We just sat there feeling stupid.

So instead we had fun watching it burn in the bathtub.

How exactly does that happen?

[WoeStorm]

I say play with it wherever you feel like playing with it. Nothing will happen.

[tunacake]

I think they're a load of codswhallop, but that's just me.

[K3nn3h]

He didn't say it was a full bathtub. Bathtubs can be empty and devoid of water.

[Kass]

If you believe in spiritual mumbo jumbo, learn how to do a banishing ritual and do it before and after using the Ouija board and it should be fine to use in your house.
Also, a banishing ritual can generally help clear spiritual static so that you contact the spirits that you actually want to contact.

If you take a more psychological stance on how a Ouija board works (or doesn't work) a banishing ritual still wouldn't hurt, and would help focus your thoughts on what you want to achieve/what information you want to gain by using it.

[_Atheistic_]

The mind is a powerful thing, you can choose to make a bad experience for yourself, or a comforting one. I personally have never tried playing one, although I have wanted to. Its just another myth in my mind.

[I_Smell]

I forced everyone's thing around so it spelled PENIS, then acted really shocked. It was a bad experience.

[Raxo]

How exactly does that happen?

We put some lighter fluid on it, then lit it, and threw it in the tub where water was readily available if things got out of hand.

These boards are a waste of money and time. They're about as stupid as believing in a horoscope.

So, Horoscopes are not real? =(

[potolife]

I've never used one myself, and I'm a little too creeped out to do so, just because I've heard some stories. They're probably all made up, but they're eerie enough to keep me away from them, though. Use it if you want, I'm sure nothing's going to happen unless you freak yourself out (which is what I would end up doing).

[Infinity]

One cannot go wrong with science, logic, and reason. Things happening in the spiritual world with these games is nothing more than superstition and paranoia. Its fun to use one's imagination, but to translate what we imagine as something real is gay.

[McGruff]

I bought one and my grandma took it to a field and burned it then drove away.
Im not allowed to play with witchcraft.

[abbey]

That stuff scares the shit out of me. I don't touch it.

Haha, Kansas.

I can't believe people actually think "spirits" will be summoned from a piece of cardboard and a little plastic mover.

[Battery Patient Xib]

I've only played at my friends house. The only time it ever felt like something happened, was one time it told us what color underwear all of us was wearing. Then it told us someone was coming and started counting down. As soon as it hit one, her mom walked in and we all jumped. We put it away after that.

[gizzalove]

I made my own. Out of human bones.

[Souldrinker]

I second this. What kind of person thinks spirits are going to push a bit of wood and glass around a board to communicate with you? If they can do this shit, they can do much more effective things in order to communicate.

Only ignorant children believe in this crap.

[NitRoDrivEn]

It's merely a tool for fucking with your superstitious friends' heads.

[Ercoledi]

For every four 12 year olds, there's always one asshole who enjoys fucking around with his friends.

This statistic is the only thing mysterious about the Ouiji Board.

[Mr. Wink]

When I was about 12 I asked my mum if they were real and she told me not to be so stupid because of course it wasn't real. Then about two days later when me and my brother made one she freaked out and yelled at me to stop dabbling in dark arts. Strange?

[Oofie]

Me and some friends made one out of cardboard when we were 14. One girl chickened out so we told the board to send Hitler's ghost to haunt her house.

She cried and wouldn't go home for hours.

[Quadros]

LOOK OUT AN INANIMATE OBJECT!

The only bad experience I've ever had with one is the one where some total retard actually believed that this shit was real. In fact that's my only experience with one, total. As in, this thread.

[Ercoledi]

I had a bad experience with a Ouiji Board once.

You know how, every once in a while, a mysterious stranger comes into your life - just bam, out of the blue - shatters your old perceptions and plants some anew? Well, it was a sunny autumn day and I was cleaning my gun - you can never be too careful - when I heard a knock on the door.

"In a minute," I shouted, as I pulled up my pants.

Fiddling with the zipper, I threw back the deadbolt with a resounding bang and swung open the door. And there she was.

Maybe somewhere in her mid-thirties. Long, brown hair fashioned into a neat ponytail and the most beautiful eyes this side of the Precinct. Her breath was staggered, as if she jogged here, and she had the figure to show it. My gaze instinctively followed here hourglass figure, stopping at the appropriate places, every once in a while.

She cleared her throat and I looked up.

"Hey there, stranger," she drawled. I couldn't quite place the accent, but somewhere in the Midwest. I suddenly took notice of my slouch and mouth slightly agape. She's just a girl.

"H-hi," I stammered. Just a girl, right?

"I was new to the neighbourhood and wanted to see if I could borrow some sugar." I smiled feebly, nodded, and retreated back into the house. I returned with a jam jar of pure white - the good stuff - and offered it to her with a mumbled "here you go". She laughed and again her breath skipped for a second and spluttered.

"Thanks, you're cute. Well...I guess I'll see you around, then!"

As she left - too soon for a goodbye - I smiled. She wasn't just a girl.

Autumn passed and the blanket of winter fell across the town. Spring and summer passed reasonably quickly, and as I sit here again on a beautiful autumn day, cleaning my gun, I knew I'd never see her again.

That wheezy broad never did return my sugar.

[Mr. Wink]

That happened to me too.

[K3nn3h]

Oh that whore.

[koots]

Just not a good thread.
