Firstly, how does one define a "premature" death; if by premature you mean anyone who doesn't live into their 80's then there are hundreds if not thousands of things that cause more premature deaths than Ouija boards.
Secondly, where are these studies that prove Ouija board use is linked to premature births, visitors (paranoid hysteria, sure) and full-fledged hauntings? Especially when taking into consideration that a haunting is something that has yet to be verifiable by recognized scientific methods.
I suggest you take your fear-mongerous conjecture elsewhere.

Premature death is dying before you were supposed to. It does not nessecarily mean the person was supposed to live into their golden years. By playing with this portal you are playing with fire in the most literatal senses.
Premature births are usually triggered when the stress level of the mother is unusally hieghtened to the point where it freaks the person out. A haunting or the sudden appearance of an apparition will trigger and cause the mother to go into labour well before the time she's due.
which is why they should continue to be studied.
Science will never be able to fully understand hauntings or the appearance of appatition as there are things that science just does not know enough about
Nothing like unsupported belief at all is it?
In no way in this case is established science the "end all, be all" authourity as science will always try to justify a falsefied or fake excuse just to deny somthing that it can not prove from exsisting.
Look at UFO's for example, millions around the world have seen them, hundreds of thousands of hours of docmented footage that is in fact confirmed as a UFO yet there is a segment of our populous that plainly does not believe.
Look at SyFy's Ghost Hunter's USA and Ghost Hunters International as well as other well respeced and recognized haunting detection firms that have the tech to not only detect a presence but can accurately identify it chemically. To say a spirit has never been caputured on either a highly sensitive camera or via evp systems is dead wrong.
I see at least a new shadow or apparition on average of once every 1 - 3 days and it's been consistant since like before 2000 do not try and tell me that it's all fake. In the 3 - 4 weeks before the Haiti quake up until the incident I saw somewhere between 40 - 60 apparatitions.
40% of those you see haven't reported to processing for final judgement and still have unfinished business left on Earth that prohibits them from fully crossing over as if there is something you were supposed to do but didn't it will prevent you from crossing over hence why it's vital to tie up all loose ends and finalize your business on Earth before you die.
30% of all apparitions are usually loved ones who have passed before. 10% are those that are former residents of the house you now reside in who are trapped between planes.
The rest are those who are bent on causing harm to other and evil and demonic forces.

Hiya PG,
Considering how many ouija boards have been sold and multiplying them by times used and adding x for 'per person'...it's kinda obvious they don't do anything. Imagine a few million ouija sessions since the late 19th Century?
Looking out the window, I'm not seeing a lot of demon hordes or teenage girls committing blood sacrifice?! How about you?
It seems to me that the guys being scared and trying to scare others are 21st Century misfits. They aren't comfortable in the modern world, their values and beliefs are at least 300 years out of whack. Teenage girls love getting hysterical, they're kids! Adults quoting Bibles and doom and gloom? Meh. This world has room for difference? Sure. The sad thing is that these fear-mongers would like to put us all back 300 years if given the chance.
The problem is, Ouija boards (and their "use") are so entrenched in peoples' minds as something you use to contact the dead. They don't think that if they worked they would be used by a multitude of professions, not just 'ghost hunters'. Imagine the ability to settle contested estates and unsolved crimes for a pittance of the usual financial and resource cost!

What happened to make you believe in it or to think it is all bunk?

Well....
Not the most exciting results you had...

Possibly.
I am just curious as to what kinds of results people have had with theirs.
My guess is it will be a wide range... from nothing at all happening (pretty much making the board a ripoff) to the anti-christ coming over for a beer!

Heck, remember the Smurfs? Those things HAD to be evil!
