The Ouija board is a cardboard game. Its all BS. People need to lighten up. Geez.....
I have tried these things. They will "connect". It is not really the board that does the connection, it is the intent of those who play. So, cardboard indeed. That has no bearing on the fact that there is a spirit world and a bridge to that realm can be opened. The connection is through the mind/soul/body. It works.
Yup! That's what I told myself too. Just a game, made out of plastic and cardboard. Anyone who believes otherwise is an idiot. My best friend and I would play this game all the time. Each time we asked "who is there", the board would spell out "EOT". Lol! We laughed out heads off. How silly that anyone should take this seriously. And then one day, with a group of friends, we assembled in one of their homes. It was a very hot July day. The girl's mother was outside hanging laundry. The house had no air conditioning. My friend and another girl began ... "who is there?" and the response was the same ... "EOT". We asked the usual stupid questions but suddenly the spindle hesitated. We kept asking "is anyone there?", but there was no response. "Stupid game", we all said. Then the spindle spelled out "WARNING". We joked ... accusing one of the girls of moving the spindle to those letters. She denied it. We didn't believe her. We kept pressing on "who is there?" and finally the spindle spelled out some unrecognizable name. We laughed again but meanwhile the house began to grow cold. The family cat walked in, arched its back, screeched and ran back outside. We laughed nervously. "Who are you?" we asked. The spindle moved so quickly that I could not keep track of the letters. Amazingly, it went back and retraced its steps. I will never forget the response. "Some call me by the name I just gave you but my preferred call me BEELZEBUB". Still unbelieving, we continued with the "game". My friend's mother walked in from the hot outdoors, noticed how cold it was in the house and put on a sweater. The exchange with the 'other side' continued with him offering to give her the one thing she most wanted, and then spelled out the name of a boy she had a crush on. There was only one other person in the room who knew that name and it was me and I was not working the board.
By then we were finally jolted out of our stupor and realized that this was real. The entity wanted everyone to leave the room in order to make arrangements with my friend to meet. We refused to leave. Finally, in a desperate measure, I asked my friends' 6 year old daughter to bring down her mother's rosary beads. We placed these on the spindle. Suddenly, the spindly rose and flew into the fireplace (obviously, there was no fire burning because it was summer).
Several years later, after we had all graduated from HS and moved on in life, I was watching some tv sitcom that involved a DJ who became locked in his booth. Eeerie organ music began to play but he could not stop it. Stupid, sill tv program, I thought. As the DJ helplessly looked on, a voice began to summon up the spirits of hades. I was only half heartedly listening, consumed with a project I was making. Odd names were called out and then, to my utter amazement, I heard the name "EOT". Shivers ran down my spine. I took the Ouija board and tossed it in the garbage.
Believe what you wish, but this is no simple game and should not be sold to unsuspecting children.
