I have never played but I was in the room when a group of friends were playing. It freaked me out because the spirits could answer questions that involved the other people in the room. I've also heard dozens and dozens of stories relating to it so I just stay away.

I'd rather not disturb the spirit world though.. even if the game is a fake in whatever way, I just try not to get mixed up in those things.

As for the game company having no connection with the spirit world (which I agree to), my friend who is Wiccan really believes in them. She says the only "real" ones are sold in magic shops and those sold at Toys R Us are just cheap copies. In any case.. I don't like them so I just stay away from them.
