The popular toy has undergone a 21st century upgrade - and now uses artificial intelligence to communicate with deceased relatives beyond the grave. The Ouija board has undergone a 21st century makeover, with the popular toy moving to the online realm and using AI (artificial intellience) to contact deceased relatives. Grandma and Grandpa have to say can head on over to the official Ouija website to pose their pressing questions.

‘Blasphemous’: Christians condemn Amazon’s new ‘Holy Spirit’ Ouija boardAmazon is playing with hellfire by promoting a recently released product: the “Holy Spirit” Ouija board. In 2022, Amazon began selling this horrendous new product, created by an obscure online website called Holy Spirit Games.

I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat.” The rocker admitted he “didn’t do any singing at all” during his recovery, but gradually he was able to work back into shape. “Every day you feel two percent better. Then you get a little bit...

These claims, which are understandably met with skepticism, seem to challenge the common framing of the board as a mere parlor game.Dr. Michael Brown is among those who warn people to be wary of the Ouija board. “You’re trying to get in...

The report quoted the youngest member of the jury, 24-year-old Adrian, who said four jurors had tried to consult the spirits of the dead while locked overnight in Brighton's Old Ship Hotel. As the other jurors slept, the small group sat on the floor around a crude Ouija board they had made from a piece of paper and a hotel room wine glass. They each put a finger on top of the glass and asked a spirit to guide the glass over letters of the alphabet and the words 'yes' or 'no'. One juror, Ray, took charge of addressing the...

MILWAUKEE — An outraged mother is calling on Milwaukee Public Schools officials to fire a kindergarten teacher who introduced the young students in her class to a Ouija board. The mom, who asked to not be publicly named, said the game was used on Friday in her 5-year-old's classroom at Zablocki Elementary.

Beloved of spiritualists and bored teenagers on a dare, the Ouija board has long been a source of entertainment, mystery and sometimes downright spookiness. Now it could shine a light on the secrets of the unconscious mind. The Ouija, also known as a talking board, is a wooden plaque marked with the words, "yes", "no" and the letters of the alphabet. Typically a group of users place their hands on a movable pointer , or "planchette", and ask questions out loud. Sometimes the planchette signals an answer, even when no one admits to moving it deliberately. Believers think the answer...

Q - Is using a Ouija Board ok, if just for fun? Also, what do you think of the comments at the bottom of this website? I can't believe that Hasbro makes this and Toys 'R Us sells them!A - Thanks for the questions. I think my answers might just surprise some of our readers. The origin of these boards is not from a game. Rather, they come from a practice of "channeling" or "divination". Channeling is asking the dead to give us answers to questions or power and is an ancient - and dangerous - practice. Thus, the word "occult" =...

“A fine mess down there, I must say. Nobody learns, ever, so far as I can tell…” It was hard to disagree, especially with one of the great experts on intelligence, the late James Jesus Angleton, once upon a time the head of CIA Counterintelligence. I wanted his take on the latest Chinese fire drill over the abridged “torture memos” that the Obama people had made public, and all the subsequent smoke and fire about possible prosecutions and/or investigations of the “guilty parties.” I’d had some repairs made to my ouija board, and had tracked him down in the great...

“Your son and daughter might be the next Hansel and Gretel,” should have been the warning label on the Guide to Paganism supplied to British prison governors by the Pagan Federation. Michael Spurr, director of operations of the Prison Service, approved the new norms, which allow pagan British inmates possession of incenses and an amulet, the services of pagan “chaplains,” and the practice of rites and chants in their cells, London’s Times reported on October 17th of last year.  Pretence of Antiquity Witchcraft and paganism have been growing worldwide, especially the practice of Wicca, for which courses one can now...

ne day, after speaking to a group of high school students about the dangers of dabbling with occultic activities, such as Ouija boards, I asked if they had any questions or comments. In a subdued voice — and without a hint of sarcasm or levity — one boy raised his hand and said, “I had something . . . happen . . . to my friend and me when we used a Ouija board.” The room of teenagers was hushed as he explained what happened. They had used the board “just for fun” and didn’t expect anything to happen....
