Is an Ouija Board just a toy?

Question

And also, I've used an online ouija board MANY times. Nothing bad ever happened to me.

Answer 1

you should watch "the Exorcist " it's based on a true story , and how can you say that when you did not experience it ? I experienced it and it's DANGEROUS .

Answer 2

The term "talking board" is the generic name for a message board with numbers, letters, and a movable message indicator. The message indicator, touched lightly by one or more persons, slides or pivots along the surface of the board to spell out words. Hence, the name "talking board." There is debate about whether the messages come from supernatural entities or are some form of psychological phenomenon originating from the players. Boards using pendulums, fixed spinners, or rolling balls, are not technically "talking boards" although they may have the same effect. Talking boards are also referred to as Ouija boards, witch boards, spirit boards, oracle boards, and most recently, channeling boards. The name "Ouija" is a registered trademark for Parker Brothers' William Fuld Talking Board Set.

Answer 3

well, i guess i'm one of the people "stupid enough to fall for that" b/c i know it isn't just a toy.  

sry for your loss.

Answer 4

I'd like to believe that in the past, when the board was carved from wood, there was some validity behind it. I'd like to believe that there is some truth behind all supernatural occurrences, but come on people. How "real" can a cardboard slab with "Hasbro" printed on it be? And you all know that's what most people use.

Answer 5

a ouija board is by no means a toy, i am not stupid enough to fall for all the c**p, a lot of the stuff that happens is that peoples own energy moves the pointer without them knowing that it is them that is doing it, but it also means that some of the stuff we have in our subconcious then comes to the fore, and some people then get a negative vibe around them from it, which other peoople pick up on and it affects friendships and other relationships. a lot of times for the worst so don't attempt to use one even as a toy.

Answer 6

i think they are real i believe if believe that it will work and try to contact the dead it will work i wouldnt do it it will haunt your house ive heard stories on the internet

Answer 7

It is more like a tool. Yes many of those rumors are true but it is important to understand that it takes time to work, it isn't like a telephone to press buttons and get an auto response. It is a tool to open you, the person. to connect with them. The other thing to remember that it is important to bless the area and call whatever guardians or saints you believe in for assistance and protection because spirits of those passed are not the only thing out there. Some of those other things are not good.

Answer 8

No, you can't contact a deceased family member with a ouija board.  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 has no supernatural powers.  The people using the ouija board make it work.  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.  

Answer 9

Ummm sweetie you've been very misinformed in your ventures of the Ouija board.  It certainly is not a toy...  Your opinion is wrong.  And please, don't call me stupid... that's rude.

Answer 10

it not just a toy cause it really does work...and if you wanted to you could contact a dead family member but it would be best to respect the dead and leave them alone

Answer 11

lol

of course not

Answer 12

If your Aunt MOVED ON... You aren't going to get your aunt... and even if she didn't... It's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that it is... even if they say they ARE... ghosts are VERY pathetic creatures... They are simply looking for attention. Wouldn't YOU in the afterlife? you're basically in "h**l" sitting there in some nasty grey plain... IT SUCKS. so WOULDN';T YOU try to hold some stupid person's attention? IT DOES work... but it gets REALLY BORING because they don't tell you truth and THERE'S NO POINT IN IT.

Answer 13

IT WORKS!!!

Answer 14

I believe that it really works...

Answer 15

i dunno if it's true. some ppl believe in that stuff and some don't. u should try it out and if it does work, then i guess it's not a myth. but if it DOES work, then use caution because u can talk to demons which isn't a good thing.

Answer 16

sounds like you really need to read the instructions...  look it up and i dare you to try it.

Answer 17

You are right. It's just a toy. It's amazing that some silly people say it's dangerous. I wouldn't waste money on such "balle", but I've known people who had them. They get silly answers on them. I get none. I know it's fake. I'm Catholic, and some of our saints wrote that dead people don't come out of their graves until Judgement Day. You must be patient to see dead relatives then. Don't fall for any fake stuff, e.g. Ouija boards or psychics.

Answer 18

Ouija boards work, but not in the way people imagine. What you talk to thru it is at best deep areas of your sub-concious, at worst  dark energies that exist in the unseen aspect of reality. It's not a game, but it is a waste of time. The only thing the dead know is that it's better to be alive. Peace M.

It's a great way to impress a fatuous blonde girl.
