Are ouijis boards for real?

Question

Or does it all count on one of the players to move the piece around? And if that was the case wouldn't the othere player be able to feel the push and pull from the other person moving it?

One time when i was younger we set up this pratical joke with a ouiji board. haha it was one of the funniest things i've ever done. Buried a bunch of bones (the biggest chicken bones we could find) in this cave on the beach along with a hammer. Then a few friends and i played with the ouiji board with a few other girls. We had the board tell a story about a young girl that got kidnapped and killed then buried at the beach right down the street from where we were. haha the girls jumped in shock when the board read off the address. Then rushed in their cars to the location. Once they found the bones they were a mess!! lol oh man it was so funny. They were all about to call the cops but we finally told them we set them up.

Answer 1

They did a little test on Penn & Teller: BULLSHIT where they took a bunch of belivers and had them do a session...

Then they were blindfolded...

The board was turned around so it was backwards to the people holding the little ma'bobber that moves and guess what?

The spirits kept going to where the yes and no HAD BEEN and not where it was NOW.

If it was a spirit watching from an external location then he/she/it would have pushed it to the correct location on the board...

ESPECIALLY since there were other people in the room.

I think that a Ouiji Board might be used as a FOCUS to bring out something you have IN YOURSELF but no, I don't think that it summons spirits or opens up a gate way to h**l or anything silly like that.

Answer 2

do you believe in spirits?

Answer 3

One of the reasons you want several people touching the cursor is to make it difficult for anyone to know you are moving it.  You sometime have to remind people to only touch it lightly so as to allow the spirits to work etc.  but usually it doesn't take long for people to figure out whats going on.

Answer 4

have you ever heard of the placebo affect, basically if you want it to move one of your Buddy's or even you will move it so no there not real if you could communicate with the dead then 9-11 would have never happened

Answer 5

its a fun game for adolescent kids to play during slumber parties for excitement, there is nothing evil about it at all

Answer 6

extremely and it is an evil device from satan please please don't play it.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

The ouija board is just a game.  The people using them make them work.  They play on the susceptibilities, beliefs and fears of the users.  Here are a couple of links that discuss how they work.

Answer 9

Well being that you can walk in Toys R Us and purchase a ouiji board, I'd have to say yes they are for real. However, to answer what I think your asking, i'd have to say yes it is based on both players sublte movements. This could be conscience or subconcience. This is the reason I believe you get words that almost make sense but a few letters are off. For instance if you spell the word Spop instead of Stop. This could be the different players trying to spell different words at the same time.

Answer 10

It has nothing to do with Satan or the Spirits its your mind making your fingers move to spell out letters to make words it's fun & scary when you are a kid and thats what it is kid stuff.
