Well, we know what happened to Linda Blair when she began playing with one.
Like all kids I payed with one.
But I have seen videos that have scared the heebie jeebies out of me.
Oh this silliness again. Really, anybody that believes a piece of mass produced plastic and pasteboard can contact the spirit world is just dumb.
I have one on my book shelf that I swear glows in the dark.
I mean, it’s a “glow-in-the-dark” board, so it’s kinda supposed to...
Beyond that, not a single demon. I think mine may be broken.
lol
Tell that to Linda Blair!! :)
I am glad to see sensible answers regarding a silly game.
Don’t need a toy invented only a little over 100 years ago to contact dark spirits or evil forces.
Just join the dem party :)
So glad to see someone else say this.
What a load of rubbish this stuff is.
Was primarily designed as a tool to open your mind and SOUL to outside influences, IMO Stupid, Evil.
So for clarification, you believe in spooks but just don’t think you can contact them through a game board? How about other childrens’ toys? How about through mechanical or electronic means?
I played with the Ouija board when I was around 13 years old. It told me I would some day be a major league baseball player for the Detroit Tigers. I didn't believe it, because I was certain I'd be playing for my favorite team, the Cincinnati Reds.
Neither scenario has turned out to be true so far, but I'm fairly certain neither team would be interested in a 61 year old rookie.
For clarification I believe in the possibility but so have seen no evidence that’s is for sure or they (if there is a they) could be contacted. And certainly no mass produced product can accomplish it. I mean really if you could talk to the dead should contacting the Founders be part of every SCOTUS decision?
Playing with a Ouija board is like walking up to a Democrat and asking who to vote for. You are basically openly admitting you want to reach the spirit world. If I am some dark Satanic force, you just invited me to play with you.
...when America experienced ... an “obsession with spiritualism”...the Associated Press was reporting on the new emergence of so-called talking boards ... a group of businessmen...had come together to figure out a way to monetize the new tool.
...when America experienced ... an “obsession with racism”...the Associated Press was reporting on the new emergence of so-called systemic racism ... a group of marxist professors...had come together to figure out a way to monetize the new tool.
I know of a lady who painted an entire ouija board on her living room floor. I guess it’s about 12x18’. She says company hardly even notices it, and one day she might get herself a skirt-blowing machine, to “make it pop.”
Long-time friend of the family. Out there, but she certainly pegged the 2020 election as one for the ages. Something to do with Jupiter and Saturn, but I’ve forgotten the details. I do owe her a dinner for a bet I made with her on the election. Restaurant of her choice. Ha! She didn’t foresee covid lockdowns!
Everyone knows that only the Magic 8 Ball can do that.
Anything that takes one's focus of off God potentially invites evil. Typically this can include drugs, alcohol, money, sex power, etc. but could also include much more mundane and seemingly harmless diversions over which one develops an obsession. This is not to say that the object or preoccupation itself invites evil, but the individual's obsession with it creates a wide opening through which malign spirits can subtly or openly let themselves in.
The insidious aspect of the ouija board is that it is marketed and portrayed as harmless, mysterious fun coupled with the spiritual realm. It simultaneously intrigues and elicits curiosity while prompting one to lower one's guard.
It’s an invitation to the spirit world, and that open door can permit evil spirits in. I know that many antique dealers won’t touch them at any price. Scoffers are simply “unenlightened” and luckily so.
I used to play with one with my friends as a kid.
I steered the pointer around myself, so I know it's fake.
“But I have seen videos that have scared the heebie jeebies out of me”
My Camp Fire girls club played with one all the time. I remember laying in bed those nights when I got home, I was terrified, many times got in bed with my mom and dad.
I won’t allow one in my house.
