Have you ever played with a ouija board?

I haven't played since I was a little kid. I remember using it at slumber parties I was always scared but it was fun. I really don't believe in them tough, I mean they are manufactured by parker brothers. I just don't believe that Parker Brothers holds the key to the unknown.

Haha! That's exactly how I feel! My mom would never let us even go NEAR one! I personally think there is no "power" in them.

We had some really weird experiences in college with them! Too many odd things to go into in one post!

My mom wouldn't let us have one but one time I used one at my neighbors. I wouldn't want to use one again, afraid what it might say and then I might have something to worry about. he he

I'd played one before and it was pretty fun but it's been along time, I don't think it's real though.

[CountryWolf07]

I'm not sure about those things.. LOL. I've heard way too many scary stories..

Yes, in middle school my friends and I were OBSESSED!!

I had one friend who claimed she could hold seances (and did for us multiple times) Seesh, a 12 year old kid... and we fell for it hook, line and sinker

When I was pregnant with my daughter (she's now 28 years old) my stepmother and I played with the Ouija board We asked it whether the baby was a boy or a girl and when it would be born.

It said it was a girl and would be born March 25th. Well, my daughter, who wasn't due till April was born March 24th! I haven't touched a Ouija board since.

My Mom was afraid of those and felt they weren't to be messed with and I pretty much accepted her feelings on it when I was younger.

I don't think there is any actual power in the game/board itself, however, I do think there might be power of people's mental focus to produce the unexplained.. I have no examples off the top of my head but I have read and heard of many experiences that have to do with the power of the mind. I think it is conceivable that the ouija board might serve as a point of focus for that mental energy and that accounts for so many people having experiences with them.

I actually did think of one example. I once read something that by the writer of the Dilbert comics wrote, having to do with the powers of mental energy. I can't remember which of his Dilbert books it was in, one of the later ones towards the back and this is a very rough summary of what he said there. He said he always got asked how he got so many of the things in life that he wanted. He confessed his secret is using a mental focus or meditation type thing in which he would focus on the thing he desired (and I believe he kept it to reasonable/worldy things, not "I want to be a millionaire by tomorrow"), and he would then write on a page what he wanted, and write it over and over like 300 times. He'd do that once a day, and he said whatever it was he focused on after awhile of doing that, it always happened.

I also do know there have been many stories of the power of meditation, healing power and so on. So I think people who get very mentally focused on something and have total belief in it, can actually come up with some unexplainable occurrances. There is just too much evidence out there about it, in my opinion, for there to be nothing to it.
