Don't mess with ouija boards, I would know

My friend and I got interested in ouija boards so we decided to get one so we went to all sorts of different stores and finally found one at a thrift store that looked cool and had some pentagram on the back so we decided to buy it and we took it over to my friends house and waited for it to be midnight. once it was midnight we wanted to do the whole candles lit compltely dark ( except for the candle light of course) thing we tried the board for awhile we started to think it was load of crap until after about half an hour of using the board we asked the board quetions that were almost impossible to answer like what batteries were in my remote for my tv also I asked it what my credit card number was and got it exactly. My friend said we should stop and go to bed you could tell he was freaked out because after I told no lets keep playing he started to tell me how boring it was and after he said $%#@%!!! the board every door in his house shut. he ran to his door and knocked down and we both ran out. We slept at my house. The next we wanted to check his house so we ate and left but once I opened the door I found the board on my porch we were both extremely freaked out considering neither of us were married we couldn't think of someone who would put the board there. I tried to convince him that the only way to get rid of it was to burn it but then we realized we couldnt burn it because it was made out of metal so we burried it about 20 miles away from my house. But somedays I think I hear something or see something. I want my account with a ouija board to be a warning to any one who wants to use a ouja board also if you think it would be fun to mess with something like a ouija board that is exactly what my friend and I thought.

The "board" knew the answers to those questions because YOU knew those answers.

It's all subconcious stuff. There is nothing to those boards at all.

Like I always say to these things, if it hadn't been for the exorcist, the ouija board would just be a board game!

you probably right right about the whole subconcious thing but that dosen't explain the doors shutting also I don't know my credit card number but then again the mind can remember anything. THanks for your input.

Does this web version have the same principle?

I don't see what you meen by that
could you elaborate

Thanks for sharing PwN3d

I agree that as a general rule, people should avoid ouija boards for the simple reason they can open you to influences about which you know nothing (other than what they may choose to tell you).

Most importantly, you open yourSELF to something you have no sound reason to trust.

It's similar to giving your name, address, phone number and other personal details to a total stranger on the net, or phone. Having once done so, you have no control over if, or when, they might turn up in your living room. And being invisible (as are contacts made via ouija board) you would have no idea if or when they were observing you or even sitting on your shoulder. Who needs that?

Most people learn about the paranormal between ten and their teen years and seem to hear about these easy-to-use ouija boards at around the same time. It sounds exciting. Most of these kids have never really had a decent-size scare in their lives. On the other hand, some have a natural leaning towards what they regard as the dark-side and are fascinated to learn more.

Carried away by their curiosity and enthusiasm (and adults are no different) they want to 'play' with a ouija board to see if everything they've heard is true. It's innocent in most cases. They imagine that when they're done, they can walk away and that will be that.

In many instances, it works out that way and there are no problems. So they tell their friends --- and promise it's 'harmless' and fun.

Others aren't so lucky however, as you've discovered.

Unfortunately, no amount of warnings will deter some people from experimenting, so they should at least take the time to learn about ouija boards and what they're messing with. At very least, they should remember to take the precaution of asking for divine protection before commencing. After all, would you start up a car without knowing how to switch it off? Would you start a fire without knowing how to extinguish it? Would you open every window and door in your house without learning how to close them again when darkness or rain or intruders were around?

Having said that, there are those who do use ouija boards without apparent harm to themselves or others, just as there are those who claim to have received reliable information via ouija boards. Presumably, they follow rituals of protection both prior and at the close of their communication.

Warnings abound, however, re: ouija boards and in fact with regard to most divination devices (the bible doesn't recommend such devices or practices). For example, it's frequently warned that initially, ouija boards provide 'good' information in non-threatening manner. But it's warned that as the user gains confidence and trust in the device, they are provided false, frightening etc. information. They may also discover that the 'person' with whom they've been communicating is NOT content to vanish when the user says so.

It's been claimed that in some cases, users of ouija boards have become 'possessed' by the entity or entities. Not good. Not always easily or swiftly solved, either.

It's said that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. It's also said that wise men learn by observation, whilst fools learn by experience.

Nice of you to take the time to tell your story in the hope it will be of help to others, PwN3d ........ and hope you enjoy ATS

I appericiate your input but we all learn from mistakes and we all observe it just matters what we observe and the mistakes we made

I bet deep down your still curious about what happened would you if you could go back and do it all again?? Or have you really been scared of experiences like this completely and will never try stuff like it again??

Fear can be overcome but this experience will certainly change the way I do things but I don't think I would do that sort of thing again because the things this earth has in nature can be killed or avoided but when it comes to demosns and spirits there is no running and there is no hiding so I will never do something like this again

I used to mess with them when I was younger.

PwN3d - Such a suitable username for a poster that created this topic.

I read this thread to my wife and told her I was going to by a board. She said no way one will be in this house because of her experience with one as a child. Her and some friends started playing and as usual ask questions and got the correct response. After they stopped playing they heard a noise outside and below on the street under a lamp they saw a dark shadow of a man standing there looking at them. Dark shadow under the street lamp? Very strange.

I actually have to chuckle when I see all the hypocrisy of society. We allow children, teens, adults to see horror movies, play video games that are laced with almost every kind of hate, murder, destruction, occult, etc, but when it comes to a board game called Ouija people think it is different. It's not.

There are many doors to the darkside of things, and the Ouija is just a old one.

evn though ive heard about strange experiences with ouija boards, i cant help but to be skeptical. I mean what does a game made by milton bradley have to do with contacting the other side?!?!

First off - wow alot of ouija board threads the past 3weeks. Second I would just like to say I agree with whomever made the statement about Movies, etc. ITS A GAME! I have played with atleast 10 different boards. None of wich I have thrown away. I always just lose them after about a year of being bored with it. So someplace I have well actually not 10 its 4. None have come back to popup in my bedroom none have released spirits. They are a very fun mental game.

You don't need Ouija boards to contact spirits, and your experience with Ouija boards doesn't really qualify as an explicit experience with warning signs screaming all over it.

Woohoo, my ouija board suddenly appeared on my porch, DEMONS I TELL YOU!
Nay, need not be demons, could be anything, from pure magic to a ghost that feels lonely and needs someone to talk to.

Ouija boards are dangerous, if you play with this you invite all sorts of crap, (PwN3d example is very common)

The weirdest thing I've ever heard was while I was in the last year of school, a group of girls were sitting behind me in class one time, and were talking about what they had done the night before, they had been playing with a Ouija board and clamed to have been in contact with a woman from the future, this woman had told the girls that there were no men in the future only women,

I thought, hu okay freaky, lol

about fourteen years later...and a TV documentary, discussing the paranormal, a person claming she had contact with someone in the future
this person then went on to say that they had-had contact with a woman that clamed to be from a future with no men....

(now think of this, male fertility has been going down since the second world war, and that there are more girls being born than boys...)

Freaky lol

Two words: Thought forms.

They can vary in power depending on the strength of your belief and the number of people who believe in it.

When you grow up in a Christian atmosphere that instills fear into you from day one.... Watch movies like the Exorcist... The expectation is already there, if only subconsciously, that you'll encounter/be possessed by a demon or some such otherwordly figure.

At a certain point, these hellish expectations can manifest themselves physically... when it's actually us who are creating them.

Seeing is believing... but believing can also be seeing.

So what if I told you that a guy was using a Ouija board and he informed me that he was told it was all men in the future? I must say that first off the women that talk to the futuristic women living in an all women world are probably lesbian. Just my opinion. The Ouija board tells you what you want to hear/see

A piece of wood or cardboard with the alphabet printed on it... made by Parker Brothers, the same company who makes Monopoly Boards ..and yall are scared of it...

And we are here to deny ignorance ?
