Well I heard many stories about ouija boards there evil. First I heard some girl got in touch with the devil or some thing like that in the next day she died or a heart attack.

Answer 2

Never tried one, and probably never will.  

Answer 3

Oh yes...It definately works. Only sometimes depending on how much you devote yourself and how well you are using your energy. Well, when I used it it told us some things that were true and also when we left it outside in the rain...it appeared in our closet. No one did it. Very strange. You don't mess with those things.  

Answer 4

i think they are really stupid.they dont work

dont try it.

Answer 5

I think it's just your subconscious working, answering what it wants to see or what it thinks is scary.

One time I did it with four of my friends and all four of them started crying because of the answers they received, and i just thought it was very silly, like to listen to a board like that.

And i would think that spirits have better things to do.

Answer 6

They work to a certain extent and in a certain way.  I used a Ouija board years ago and nothing happened.  Nothing happened when some of my friends played the Ouija board.  I actually found the whole experience incredibly boring.  Scrabble is much more fun, more interesting, and more exciting.  

The ouija board is just a game that you can buy in most toy stores and department stores, an ordinary piece of wood or plastic or cardboard.  It is meant for two or more players so it will not work very well if you try to use it alone.  It has no supernatural powers.  It does not communicate with the dead and it does not contact spirits.  It does not open any portals to the underworld or to anywhere else.  The people using the ouija board make it work through ideomotor movement.  It plays on your mind and imagination and your susceptibilities and beliefs and fears.  It can be scary because the imagination is a powerful thing, and can make you believe just about anything.  Here are a couple of links that discuss ouija boards and how to use them.
