Ouija boards

[Seph]

A Ouija board is something used to apparently communicate with spirits and ghosts. It was issued around the 1920s. Ever since it's release, theres been a stuffload of controversy from a variety of parties. Some say they aren't real, some say they are real. Some say they are harmless, some say they are dangerous.

What I want to know is, how safe/dangerous are these really? I know someone whose used one and they say it was "The most terrible moment of my life", pretty much. I'm torn between using one and not using one. I've always been really scared of them, but curiosity keeps driving me back to thinking about them...

What do you think? Do you have any experiences with Ouija boards?

When I first saw the topic title i thought: "What the heck is an ... 'Ow-ij-a board?'..... OOOHHHHHHH derp."

And then the Little Sabbin realized his stupidity and found out the correct spelling. The End.

Personally, I think they are a load of bull... Its a bunch of random magnets... and probably a bad
quality tape recorder on the inside that plays random messages like a "Ghost" would.

No, this is just a plank of plywood with stuff printed on it. Its not a box, its a board.

Go ahead and use it. But it would be a waste of money to stare at a wooden board.

Thats the strange thing about it, I've talked to people who've used it and they say that bad things actually do happen. Its hard to tell if it's just the hysteria of the moment or something actually going on...

"The Ouija Board really works!"
"Ouija Board? STOP, listen, and reconsider."

Lol it pronounces like Weegee board.

 People say that bad things happen when they use it.

Well, tell me how does some wooden board with numbers and letters on it call ghosts out?
I could use my books to call ghosts out then!

Well tell me how a bible can entice so many people to believe in a greater figure. How does one man turn a whole army against one religion.

I think its just the hysteria of the moment. I'm still curious to try it. Couldn't be too hard to make a board. Just get a decent sized piece of plywood and press print it into the wood...

1)It was not the Bible alone.
2)Because he had the power to do so?
