Oujia board. Is it really?

Question

If it was that dangerous why would they keep selling it?!

Answer 1

The Ouija board is definitely a peculiar item indeed. The act of summoning the spirits to answer your questions is an act that seems crazy, but is not far fetched.

The Ouija board is all dependent on which spirit you get contact with, if you get contact with any spirit at all. You may be lucky enough to contact a spirit that may have known you during its life or may have been watching you in the afterlife. Or you may hit a grouch that doesn't feel like answering anything.

First you might want to get a friend who you know will not mess with the Ouija board while you ask the question. This is just a precaution to make sure that you are not going crazy if it does work. If you see it work and your friend sees it work, and both of you are honestly not touching the board, you have successfully contacted someone who is gone

The only danger is not being able to subliminally being able to comprehend  what you are dealing with if it does actually work. Be careful not to go crazy and let this board become your life. This can lead to ending up at the Crazy Farm or possibly even death.

Also, these boards are a good prank when you have had enough of honestly talking to the dead. Scare your friends, family, spouse, random people who will pay to see a needle on a board point to letters and numbers, etc.

Answer 2

No, the Ouija board is not dangerous, unless you end up scaring yourself to death. If you believe it will work, it can work. Just don't try anything stupid like calling up malevolent spirits.

Answer 4

The ouija board isn't dangerous.  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 5

There is one basic reason why people do not believe in the power of the spirits who "speak" through a Ouija board or other divination device. For those who have not had firsthand experience with these spirits, the idea of paranormal activity surrounding divination devices such as Ouija boards, runes, Tarot cards and the like is ludicrous to them.

Since no one rooted in the world of reality can see these spirits, nor can anyone really prove they exist, many people have concluded they cannot possibly exist at all. But you cannot prove a negative, and no one who has an ounce of sense can say with absolute certainty that beings who exist outside of our reality do not in fact exist. This is where the concept of an open mind comes in. Unless you have concrete proof that something exists, you cannot say for certain that it does exist. Conversely, if you have no concrete proof that something does not exist, then you cannot say for certain that it doesn't. The fact that you have never seen any evidence of supernatural beings is not proof that they are fictitious.

For those who are interested, the following is a form message I use on Yahoo! Answers and in other fora to explain how Ouija boards actually work. If you have already read the following before, you can move on, as there is nothing new to learn here.

There is a popular belief that an Ouija board has some inherent power, or that spirits live inside the board or planchette. This is not correct. The Ouija board is simply a board with letters, numbers, a few words, and copyright and/or patent information, and the planchette is a small inert device that has been designed to move easily across the board. There is nothing magic or mysterious about the board or planchette themselves, and the mere presence of such devices will not cause paranormal events to occur.

The board's power comes from the calling forth of spirits. The participant(s) get(s) the attention of these spirits and ask(s) them questions, whereupon the spirits respond by moving the planchette around on the board. Many people believe a person can call forth the spirit of someone who has passed on, or some other specific entity, but this has never been proven, to my knowledge. The spirit(s) who are summoned will often not have any singular identity at all.

Those spirits who do have identities will usually be vague, evasive or misleading about their names. This is because knowing their names can give the experienced summoner power over the spirits themselves, and the spirits can then be forced to do things they don't want to do. This is very undesirable to the spirits, of course, who want to keep their liberty and freedom intact.

The spirits who are summoned in this way are never good ones. Good spirits will not respond to this type of summoning. Sometimes the spirits who are summoned are neutral or mischievous, and will often simply give random answers to participants' questions.

Other spirits may be more powerful than these, and may actually have limited knowledge they may impart. However, these spirits are nearly always malevolent, and when summoned they may decide to take residence in the room or household where they are summoned. Sometimes they will even take residence in the participants themselves! Once they have taken residence, they can manifest themselves in our world of reality in real and very frightening, and in some cases very destructive, ways.

Depending on the power of these malevolent beings, one may be able to drive them out in a variety of ways. These spirits are very legalistic, however, and some of them may have the power to take up permanent residence in the room, household or person they have elected to haunt.

These spirits can only be gotten rid of by identifying the source of their right to be wherever they are, renouncing this right, and flooding the host with good spirits. They can then be forced to flee. Very powerful evil spirits may be difficult to exorcise even in this manner, but it is the only manner that has been proven to be successful.

Keep in mind that this is the way you get rid of the malevolent spirits once you have them. You cannot prevent their permanent residence by any means, whether by religious icons, garlic, holy water, or whatever, because the actual calling forth of spirits is what gives them the right to stay. The calling of the spirits will override any preventive measures you could use to prevent their permanent residence.

If you do call forth spirits to manipulate objects in the real world and divulge information, you are asking for trouble. My advice is, DON'T! No information received in this way is worth the potential risk of possession by evil spirits. Many lives have been completely destroyed in this way. Please, don't let this happen to you. If you are tempted to use divination devices to call forth spirits, get rid of them. Your life will be much better for it. - LJS

Answer 7

It's not real in the sense that you are contacting spirits. It's all subconscious. You are moving the pointer without knowing it. That or some fool is purposely moving it. The only reason why it's dangerous is that people believe in it and subconscious thoughts lead them to dangerous situations.
