tazzmaniac (Singapore) - See all my reviewsI bought this in 98 and played it with my cousins [they were kids then]. When I told them the rules - what they can ask, and what they cannot ask, and that they should respect the spirits - that scared them already. While playing, one of my cousins peed in his pants. The other couldn't sleep for days after we asked the board, "What is K's boyfriend's name?" [K is another cousin's name and we all didn't know about her having a boyfriend or even his name]. The indicator spelled out the boyfriend's name EXACTLY and so swiftly! Her jaws dropped! If K could've peed in her pants, she would have, but fortunately, she had better control of her bladder. The board doesn't work with certain people, and in bright rooms and I notice, each time I play and ask the same question about events in the future, it will give a different answer. I guess maybe the spirits aren't meant to know what's in the future... Otherwise, really fun for adults and extremely scary for kids. If you're not playing, turn the indicator upside down.

Reviewer: A toy enthusiast (California, United States)I always wanted a ouija board. I had heard about things happening to people because of using it. I sort of believed it and sort of didn't. About 4 years later, I just had to get one and I ended up getting one with my own money. I got the Glow in the Dark Version since the original one is extinct. When I was about to use it I got the creeps and I thought about how this could change my life so I put it away in my garage and left it there for about 8 months without actually using it but playing aroung with it. I told my neighbor that I had one but I didn't use it at all. She told me if she could use it. I told her just to be careful with it. Since her cousin was there, they both used it. The next morning I called her and I could hear them laughing and saying, "Oh My Gosh."They were playing it and I asked them if it really did work. She said it's so cool. I went over her house in excitement and I sat there, watching them play and just seeing how quickly the message indicator would move across the board. I couldn't believe how accurate it spelled out everything. So we played all day long and time went by fast because we were so into it. The board told us it was a good spirit so we were okay. The next day it said strange things and creepy things so we decided to put it away and not use it for a while. It's really fun though but you just have to be careful with it. It's a must have. I recommend it to teenagers because you kind of know what you're doing but take it seriously or it won't work. Have Fun!!

Is this the standard level of intelligence of people who are overly fascinated with the paranormal?
Iä Shub Niggurath! The goat with a thousand young! :P
Any of y'all know about any of these people who own haunted houses that are "willing to give them away to those folks who will stay one night," give me a call.
Hmm, Melissa, sounds like you brought some of those demons, I mean, ghosts home with you.
Well...let's see it!
Haunted house ping
I hope you feel better now.... 8^D
Sounds like my town's Halloween Walk.
Other members of the group who stayed in the house at Halloween also said strange events had happened to them afterwards.
Please Ghost Ping me.
Thank you very much.
Inside joke....;^)
We moved to Gettysburg 4 years ago because my husband is a Civil War/military history buff. We are not "ghost people." My husband is retired from 30 years in the phone company and military, and I am a 50-year old woman who used to work for a newspaper.
Many places on the Gettysburg battlefield are rumored to be haunted. Our experience was in the Triangular Field, located behind Devil's Den (an area with huge boulders), near Little Round Top. During the battle of Gettysburg, the Triangular Field was the scene of horrific fighting and death.
Something or someone in the Triangular Field damages camera equipment. The field has been tested many times for any kind of geological disturbance, power lines, etc. and nothing shows up.
What happens: people go in the Triangular Field, especially down to the bottom of the field to a flat rock at the wood line, and your camera will stop working, batteries will die, camcorder will not work, etc. This has happened so many times it is in books, tour guides know about it, a TV crew once went there for Halloween and their equipment would not work, etc.
Our many incidents:
(1) we put new batteries in our camera the day before, took other pictures on the battlefield, and when we were in the Triangular on the flat rock at the woodline, our new batteries suddenly died. Then we went into town to buy a throwaway camera, went back to the spot where the batteries died, and took a photo. When the film was developed, it shows a mist floating over the flat rock. This is true -- we have the photo.
(2) we were taking photos in the field another time when the reel the film was wound around suddenly broke, ruining the camera. (3) my husband’s cousin from California was visiting us and heard about the haunted field. This is a 52 year old man, a fireman and the head carpenter for the National Park Service in the area where he lives. He is not a ghost person either. He took his camcorder, which he’d been using for 2 days and had owned for several years, down into the Triangular Field.
When we were all down there on the flat rock at the wood line, I said “Okay, old Civil War ghost, this is my husband’s nice cousin and we want you to do whatever he wants. If he wants his camorder broken, then go ahead and break it.” This is a true story --his camcorder broke at that moment. When he returned to California, all the film was ruined and the camcorder could not be repaired.
(4) We have photos we have taken and friends have taken, all on different cameras, of the Triangular Field area, and the photos show orbs (small and huge, bigger than a human being) and mists. My husband took two photos in sequence in the woods there, and on the first photo shows a bright orb surrounded by mist. In the second photo, my husband stepped forward and the orb and mist grow larger -- which means it was outside the camera.
I used to not believe in ghosts, but there is something to it. Now I think after a tragic death sometimes people get stuck here, cannot accept their death and move on into the afterlife.
