The Ouija Debate;
Portal to Evil or Harmless Game?
From Stephen Wagner,
paranormal.about.com...
THERE’S AN ongoing debate about the powers and realities of the Ouija board. Essentially, there are three basic positions:
* It is inherently dangerous, can open portals to evil entities and should never be used.
* It is only dangerous if used with evil intent, but can be a useful tool for spirit mediumship if used properly and with good intent.
* It is inherently harmless and has no real powers of mediumship for good or evil; its effects, if any, are only psychological in nature.
Which is true? Talk to any group of people and you’ll find strong proponents for each argument. A few years ago, I conducted a survey of readers on this subject. It results showed that 65 percent of those who responded felt the Ouija was dangerous, and 35% felt it was harmless.

I beleive it works from experiance, but I beleive you will only get an evil entity if they happen to be around, I dont think it opens gateways to hell as I have never experianced any evil activities after I used one.

I've never done a ouiji board so I can't say if it works or not, but to me it just seems silly, I mean do these ghosts fly about looking for people who have ouiji boards and think, "right we can talk to them, they've just bought a ouiji board"
Why do you think ghosts/aliens can only use a ouiji board to contact us? If they can move an object to spell out names ona board, then surely they'd be able to move a pencil or a pen on a piece of paper and contact us that way?

I understand what you are saying...seems a little ridiculous at times, but then again there has been so many experiences it really makes you think...
I think maybe these "spirits" just need a little something to contact us..
They don't just run about looking for people to contact..
we have to make the effort to contact them..

For example the dog telling the Son of Sam to kill was psychological in nature, but it was also dangerous as he went out and shot people because of it.

The Ouji board is very dangerous. I know this from my sisters experience with one. Not to mention my friend. My sister went to this sleep over at her friends house, they thought they would have fun with an ouji board. Everyone was seriously into it and noone was joking around. As they started to use it they were fooling around and trying to contact somebody. After a while of conentrating the planchette moved by itself, although their hands were on it, they swore it wasn't them.
It was a malevolent spirit who told them that she had died on the highway. Things started to get really freaky for them, and my sister wanted out, so did the rest of her friends, so they moved the planchette to "GOOD BYE" and the spirit then spelled out "HELL" "REVENGE" . At that time everyone got really scared and stopped right away, but the planchette was still moving by itself. Everyone was crying and freaking out because they all promised it wasn't them. My sister called my mom in tears so she picked her up. To this day my sister never wants to see one of those boards again, or use one. She gets freaked out by ghosts, and other spiritual things.
The OUJI BOARD IS NOT A "GAME" I repeat. It is a very spiritual board in which you really have to be careful because you could end up having a bad experience.
That being said, my other sister had an experience which left a scar. She wanted to know who would be the next person to die in her school. The board spelled out "CHRISTINA" A couple months later CHRISTINA died. I forgot what from since I haven't talked ot her about it. My family doesn't like to talk about these kinds of things, except for my other sister, the one who had the spirit board experience.
Anyways...
The board is a portal for both GOOD and BAD spirits. not directly on the board, but you open yourself to those things when using it. The bad spirits called "Dark Entities" can easily pretend to be someone else and talk to you through the planchette. Sometimes you get alien entities as well.. it is because we are in a different demension, though as sci-fi as it sounds, that's what it is. If you are going to use one, which I highly don't reccommend. You better protect yourself in however you do it. Whether it's by holy water, or the father, ot however you want. You have got to have some form of protection.
Ouji boards haven't always been known to cause deaths but there is a possibility. It can happen.
It was first made out of wood, and was used to contact spirits, which is used to do the same thing today. I rebel against the fact that they even made glow in the dark ouji baords and are selling it at " wouldn't you know" K.B TOYS. How rediculous to sell some serious thing like that to a child.
My friend told me something I found to be "far-fetched" Her friend and she were using it and playing with it, just fooling around. Until things got really bad, she didn't tell me or I didn't remember, they broke it in half and threw it in the trash. The next day it was whole again in the trash can.
I'm sorry but I sort of find that story hard to believe in my cases.
Well, that's all I have to say. I've used it before too, but I got bad vibes from it. I gave it back to the store and trust me you are much better without it.

Thank you for sharing that with us!! I will just add to this by saying, Games like these are games for people who want to play with something they do not understand!! This "game" is dangerous and shouldnt be played around with, As your the one being played!! Its your energy being focus and used by other means that I for one do not understand. I only know it is there.. I can feel it, and its never good!! It will lie to you and say things to make you feel comfortable.. Or even bring energy to you that feels familar, like a past loved one.. When infact its taking what ever shape it needs to fool you into using it... bad vibes!!!
