The movie, "The Exorcist," was based on a real life case of possession. The aunt of the child-victim was a spiritualist and had introduced her nephew to the ouija board.
They also had one in 1990’s “Repossessed.” They asked it if Teddy Kennedy will ever be President. The planchett flew across the room and knocked a display model car upside down into a fish tank.
My thought is simply: Why take the chance. There are so many good things you could be doing instead.
Have a priest come and bless your house and expel the demon.
That’s pretty close to real life!
When I was a boy, my friends and I asked a Ouija which of us was the smartest and best looking. The cursor at our fingertips swung violently back and forth on the board, and then flew off.
Thanks for the ping. I won’t see this movie.
You have to invoke a spirit, otherwise, it’s just a board with letters on it. Don’t do it.
One of my neighbors, who is a strong Christian but not trying to impress anyone said that a Ouija board was brought into their house and they knew they didn’t want it there because of the spiritualism that is associated with it, so they burned it.
It was apparently hard to get it to burn (they threw it in the fireplace that already had logs burning) - when it finally caught fire, like with you the flames went very high and there was a sound like a loud scream coming from the fireplace as it was burning.
You have no way of knowing my friend or the truth of the story, but I’ve known her for years as a very trustworthy person.
That sounds like what happened to us, I had forgotten the sound. it wasn’t really really loud but it was noticeable
so you were both ugly idiots? lOL - joking I’m joking ;)
Wow. Chilling.
I don’t know. No matter how hard each of us tried to move it to his name, it would start getting pulled to another kid’s name. Eerie, no? ;)
Exactly! I used the Ouija board several times and nothing out of the ordinary happened. I had ONE bad experience with it and it was the LAST one. Most of the time, people are pushing the thing around themselves and making it say what they want it to say.
That’s a relief.
That made me laugh. There are some funny reviews on amazon from time to time. I was watching that south park ep this morning.
I had a couple of experiences with that game when I was little. Although it was creepy, I thought the girls were moving it on purpose to have fun with the scared ones.
Why is it always a dog that supposedly has the ability to see “evil forces”?
I’m not necessarily doubting your husband’s story, but... isn’t it possible the dog just had to “go”?
bttt
There are so many Catholics who believe in luck, charms, are superstitious, follow horoscopes, use tarot cards, etc., and many more who want to consult mediums to talk to the dead...they follow Theresa Caputo and John Edward, who both claim to be practicing Catholics.
Anytime that the users of these are first shown a Ouija board then blindfolded and have the board switched without their knowledge for a board with the letters numbers and Yes/No positions changed before they actually use the board they can NEVER make it give a legible reading. NEVER. This experiment has been done many times.
Why can the “Spiritualist” EVER get the pleschette to move by itself on camera?
Why this type board and not another shape?
As to the temperature of the room and other effects the explanation probably has to do with a state of self hypnosis or expectations. If there is not a documented photo of a thermometer changing temperature in a room where the environmental controls are beyond the ability of the Spiritualist or their henchmen to control then it is not proven
PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying these things are innocent. I am not saying practicing occult activities is not a dangerous hobby - just that the Ouija board is - as even many people in the occult will tell you - a vehicle that is used primarily by con-men
