What exactly is an Ouija Board?

Question

tell me about it (stud. haha sorry i had to say it)

Answer 1

Ouija Boards are just a game. You can't buy occult stuff at Toys'R'us... They are TOTAL BULLSHIT!

Watch this youtube vid... They show that if you blind fold people, even true believers, then turn the board around without them knowing... Their hands go to where they THINK the yes and no SHOULD be... If it was really ghosts... They would be able to see where the REAL yes and no are... So it proves it is all just in the heads of the people using it.

Answer 2

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.

Its real,Its like putting a sign up on your door saying " evil welcome"

The evil spirits get attached to you

and tell things what isn't true

like my dads friend did one and one spirit said,

your wife sleeping with your brother but it wasn't true,

and my other dads friend killed himself over it,

because so much bad stuff was happening to him from the ouija bored

Answer 4

It's a board game that "contacts" spirits. It's total BS though. I suggest watching the Penn and Teller videos above. ^^

Answer 7

a ouija board is suppose to be a board with letters and numbers. people surround the board and put their hands on a marker. should there be a 'paranormal presence' the marker is suppose to move to the letters and numbers. you're suppose to be able to ask questions and stuff and they'll answer it. supposively if you use it and there is a 'paranormal presence' then you've released it into the world.
