Ouija boards

[dream kitten]

My friend wanted to use a Ouija board at my house the other day. I told him "HELL NO" but he just laughed and said he used it a lot before and it was fun and nothing bad happened. I've heard lots of bad stories and don't want my place to be haunted, although I must admit there is a big part of me that is curious. I would not choose to do it at my home though... just wondering if anyone had any experiences to share? Of course, if I ever decided to do it, I would do it with the utmost care and respect to avoid any negative encounters. Still seems risky though. I just can't believe a portal to the spirit world can be purchased for under $20 at a toy store. Ghost Stories/Ouija Also some good reading there. I like to read it right before bed to freak myself out. Why I do that, I'm not quite sure...

I just can't believe a portal to the spirit world can be purchased for under $20 at a toy store. Then why are you afraid of it?

Ouija boards are fake.

Believing some random video of people trying to explain something is just like believing the Bible literally.

After saying this I've heard lots of bad stories and don't want my place to be haunted......... Still seems risky though. I really don't think you have any right to qualify the 'beliefs' of others.

Well one time on my friends fourteenth birthday party we tried one because she recieved it as a birthday gift. The only sources of light we had in the basement were the fact that it glows in the dark, and a strobe light. We asked if anyone wanted to talk to us a few times, and then all of a sudden the blinds fell right off the window and almost hit us. 4 people fell right on me screaming.

Maybe I have a few loose screws. But who are any of you to decide that anyway right? Just because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean it's not real. But ok whatever. If you don't believe it, draw one out right now on a piece of notebook paper and ask for a spirit to come. Maybe try to anger it.

Making it myself is too much effort. Lolz at penn and T's code word (bull shit?)

I'll tell the ghost to kiss my white ass when I make it. Then I'll make fun of it for being dead while I'm alive. Why should one need a piece of cardboard and plastic to summon a spirit if it's even possible? Further more, what's the spirit going to do to me? It's not like it can use it's non-existent physical hands to move something and bash my head to a bloody pulp. It will have to sit there and cry like a school girl. Ouija board fails.

Just because you don't believe in my imaginary flying spaghetti monster doesn't mean it doesn't exist either. I have tried to anger ouija's boards by swearing and spitting on them, nothing happens, why? Do this: - Have you and two friends use the ouija board blindfolded. - Ask questions outloud. - Ask another person, not using the ouija, to record answers without reading them outload. You will find that it makes absolutely no sense.. That is, if you even manage to start moving and stay on the board. ~

It's a great do-it-yourself experiment, and it will clearly prove them that blablaboards don't work. Some kids are actually scared of these things, the poor things.

I just can't believe a portal to the spirit world can be purchased for under $20 at a toy store. That is believe they arn't portals to 'the spirit world'. Heck, if you were a spirit or ghost or whatever, would you even care about some kids with a piece of cardboard? It's complete nonsense. Probably it'll just end up in some kids scaring each other. Either that, or for fun try to spel "penispenispenis" as the answer to every question.

Spoiler for thread: Ghosts aren't real.

They are just that, a piece of cardboard. I used to play on it all the time, we never used our fingers to move it, we hardly touched it. It was all our subconcsious or w/e. What we wanted to see is what we saw. Hey, we had some good conversations going, and some bad ones, and some "GTFO F4G" ones.

[Sandform]

Ghosts are now using internet acronyms now? They must have access to the internets. Ghosts just like porn. They just go into random houses (because 1/4 houses at any given time have someone masturbating to porn on the internet, or someone who will soon be masturbating to porn on the internet) and watch the screens, at least the ones who aren't advanced enough to effect physical mater yet. Sometimes they have to be bored with text conversations, and webcam chat.
