So what would have happened if the pointer moved on its own? Would you no longer be atheist if you actually saw something "supernatural" happen?

Your not suppose to use them alone because it becomes even more dangerous. You shoul return that board if you love life.

Well, to answer the original question without pressing personal beliefs or experiences:

Spiritual reasons for not using the board alone:

*it's easier to be manipulated/possessed by malicious spirits.
*negative energies/spirits are said to feed off fear, you're more likely to get scared when you're alone opposed to being with your friends.

Non-spiritual reasons for not using the board alone:

*It's difficult to record any results when you are alone, best to have one person ask questions and another to write down any letters or messages.
*If you're alone, you're more likely to have your own fear and/or subconcious thoughts translate through the board instead of any ''outside'' influence.

Now to answer previous arguements:

*Yes, Parker Brothers did sell a version of the ouija board. However, talking boards were around long before the Parker brothers were.
*Yes, it can be considered a game... but so can russian roulette.
*The ouija isn't used for summoning, it's used for communication. If the spirits aren't already there, chances are they won't answer.
*Results are also dependent on the person(s) present. Their mental and emotional state, as well as how open or close minded they are. You can't see through a closed door can you? With that in mind, not every occurrence or result will be paranormal either.
*As for the ''can't see it, won't believe it'' people; you can't see ultraviolet light with your eyes, but it still exists. Yes, certain equipment can pick it up and measure it, but the same is true with supernatural energies. Ie: thermal cameras, EMF recorders, etc.

If you believe, you won't have truth unless you're skeptical. If you're skeptical, you won't find truth unless you believe.

I agree with some of what you are saying, but I will still have to disagree with the fact that you can use the ouija board to communicate with spirits. If spirit communication was as easy as using a board with a glass pointer on it, don't you think more people would be doing it? Also, in regards to your statement about russian roulette being a game. Yes, it is a game, which is why people PLAY it. But then again, people don't try to use roulette to communicate with the dead.

You can use anything me and my cousin used a piece of cardboard and wrote letters and words on it with a marker and used a ring as a pointer. And TONS of people use it! I don't know anyone that Hasn't tried it

While that may be true, there are over 6 billion people in this world. I have a hard time believing that all 6 billion of them have tried to use an ouija board. If everyone has tried it then there wouldn't be any skeptics left, because if they tried it then it would have worked. Spirit communication is more than just a board and a pointer, believe me. That's just like saying magic is just as easy as saying a cute rhyme and then all your dreams come true.

Wow what a debate has been opened up here haha. I believe because of my own personal experiences with the board is Don't MESS WITH IT!! You know the only way some pople learn is the hard way. I know I'm one of them. I believe 6 billion people have used the boards because its been around long before it was boxed up pretty and sold for a game. The devil comes in sheeps clothing. Now I'm not saying its evill but it can have evil attached to it. It shouldve never been made into a game. Because it is NOT a game. And as most things evil it can start pretty and fun when your "playing" with it only it ends unfun and playing you! Face it evil is all around you waitng for the moment to get it on with you so why give it a chance?
And as for the russian roulette comment above? Your wrong russian roulette WILL let you communicate with the dead. You just have to win first!

Love the Russian Roulette comment! Also I'm wondering about the comment that you don't conjure spirits up... they may already be there. Interesting concept. It makes me wonder if with all the times I used a Ouija board they were already in my house. That house definitely had spirits.

Yes, this is an interesting debate. It's also nice that we can all discuss our different views without insulting each other or using swear words. It's a breath of fresh air :)

I stopped using a board a couple years ago. At that time, I thought I was bringing in new spirits. Now I'm wondering if I can talk to the spirits already in my house. I am pretty sure they are friendly. I think I'll rethink using a board in my home. Patti

Pattijo55, I suggest you should try summoning the spirit into visible appearance rather than using an ouija board. There are several books out there on the subject. Some are better written than others. Believe me, actually seeing a spirit is more interesting than just communicating with one via a board.

I'm sure you're right. I'm just so curious as to who is in my house. Is it family or a past resident. We are waiting to see if anything comes up on the recordings. Thanks Patti

I know there isnty enuf room to tell my story abouot the board "game" but I will give you some words demonn, Poltergeist, michael archangel, blessing s cleansinsg, and we have been living with the outcome ever since thuis ui fronm 1975, I'm telling you young people please don't o it and of course your young not listeniung so if you do use it please have someone who isd skilled enough to teach you how to keep yourself protected. Even when you leave there alone,or will you be alone gong home? GET PROTECTION AND Someone WHO KNOWS WHAT HES DOING WITH IT. GOOD LUCK!

Ok lets get together and do our own questions with it lol strength in numbers right? Lol yea right! Lol

I'm all for summoning spirits. I do it several times a month. I just don't think it can be done with a board and a pointer. It's a bit more complicated than that.

How do u know what to ask without accidentally inviting bad things? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time!

Ouija boards are NOT bad. They can't be bad because they DON'T do anything. It's a piece of wood (or plastic) with some fancy letters on it and a glass (or plastic) pointer. It cannot summon spirits or let you talk to your dead grandmother. I'm sorry, if you want to communicate with spirits, there are plenty of books out there that teach it. The Ouija board is not one of them. :mad:

Hello my name is Victor and I am a telepathic claravoyant psychic and um the things with them are that you never know what's on the other side trying to get through the bord its self seems innocent enough but you never know who you are communicating with I understand that you are claravoyant to being able to hear and see things as I am but you really must understand that some of these forces can really hurt you I have talked to a friend in panama city who played with the bord too and his home which was recently demolished was under attack by some verry angry possibly demonic force. And you are not suppose to use them alone because you may get attacked or even possesed because people like us are sinsitive to supernatural forces. And I have looked into demonic attacks and most people who were attacked suffered from being choked to death to losing consciousness to over a year and losing their memory I don't use them they are way too dangerious

You know its people likek you that I find so amusing. In the dictionary if you look the word ignorant you will see the meanig : "does not know" please understand I'm not being insultive by this I'm pointng out that you do not know . Not really. OR you would not write this stuff that you do NOT know about. Just because it is plastic or wood means nothing. The ouiji has been around longer than plastic has even been made. This "game " became a "game" when the parker brothers made it into one to sell and make money. The ouiji dates all the way back to the dark ages and possibly before! In china it is dated back to the 1200 because. I hate to tell you but you do NOT even NEED the GAME to use a ouiji board! Cut out some letters, put them down. Use a glass on the table your letters and numbers are on. So please do NOT try and tell people it is all a joke. Because it isn't. If you do NOT know what you are doing it doesntmean nothing is going to happen. Just like the fact people do not believe in GOD doesn't mean HE isn't there. Or air just because you can't see, feel, taste, etc it , it IS STILL THERE. The ouiji is designed to speak wioth spirits and you better know that most good spirits are in the light- so to speak. They are not sitting around hanging around waitng to make contact with a ouiji board. BUt you better bet that demons and evil IS!

After reading this post I suggest you try your own suggestion - use a dictionary.

What happened ?

You should not use a ouija board for any reason whether your alone or with others but especially alone because it is possible for a bad spirit to enter your body and cause you to do evil things and could even make you ill and with no one there you could actually harm yourself

A dictionary for what word? Lol

A lot of evil spirits? You can just walk out the front door and find them. The only difference is that these are operating a physical body. So all you are trying to communicate with are evil-intentioned Beings that lost there bodies through death, car accidents, etc. who will eventually get another physical human body and bother the good honest folk again with rape, murder, etc. My guess is that you are just bored...

Many of these people have given great advice. As a 3 generation clairvoyant I can safely tell you that most oíjúi boards will not work w/just one person operating the board. Two, you MUST be extremely knowledgeable on how to open and close-up the board, surround yourself (and others if there are more than just you) w/protection. Thirdly, it is almost hard to predict when a negative spirit enters into the board. That's when having a "true" clairvoyant is necessary to have to perform the board. Most of the time the clairvoyant can "sense" any types of negativities, or foul play, but there can also be times when a spirit can disguise itself enough to make you believe that it is someone you know that has passed, when in actuality it could be negative or a demon. And, sometimes, lead to possession which may not show up for several months and even years.

My true advice to you is to stay away from it until you can have a professional clairvoyant there to help you. Also, you cannot smoke, be drinking alcohol, on any drugs including prescription meds, or be having any sort of severe changes or traumatic episodes going on in your life at the time of the séance. This also goes for anyone else that's w/you. The reason is because those types of negativities are what negative spirits and demons thrive on, and make it easy for them to come through and attach to you.

And so - ?

I've used a ouija board before, it.. didn't go very well.. because it was that bad my whole family had to move house, thankfuly it didn't follow me.

I'm just saying, Don't use it, if you are going to get rid of it, don't burn it, I'm not sure if it's a myth or not, but if you burn an ouija board, the person who hears screaming will have a family member die, because your burning someone's soul, so you get punished, I'm not religious, I do believe in paranormal stuff e.g. ufos,aliens, ghosts, etc, but.. just don't use it indoors if you are going to use it...

I do solo communication every day and I can say if your not open to what comes through and trust me something always comes through just having one in your house is a door way if you are not strong of mind you will scare and give the darkness that chance to come back so please if you watched ghost hunters and think its cool stay out of our world before you do some harm that can't be prepared.

I have played alone a lot, and nothing has happened to me. I have asked questions, I have got answers. I don't know why people say not to play alone but I have and nothing has happened to me, I have been playing it for years by myself. Not everyday, but every once in awhile for years.

My frieds you don't need to feel scare for this but think positive whatever you do this it's the kye for life so ouija board not big deal just something fun you can bye this kind of things in TOYS R US listen don't fallow the psycho or midiuns because they talk only crap and care about your money feed yourself with knowledge read things about NLP&HYPNOSE then you understand more about this things OK be smart ouija they only conect you to your subcousncient believe this its proof idiomotor effects don't talk things what you don't know I do it this for years then nothing there the bad things happen because you are the bad person there its your problem not spirits you need to change for good that is the way trust me not spirits learn be smart .

I've never had it work when I was alone. If it works for you, let me know

Everyone is freaking out about using it. I say go for it, use it, and communicate with the another realm. As dumb as it sounds, read the directions in the package. I believe it tells you how to recognize that your communicating with an "evil" spirit or something that may harm you, and how to properly close the door you open using the board.
Ask it questions about why we as humans are on this planet. Or what happens when you die... You'll get some crazy answers.

It's unfortunate that the original poster hasn't returned to this site since 2007!

Thanks!

Why is everyone so afraid of doing it alone? Everyone has all these hokey rules and regulations like it is some sort of dead contacting science. OOOOooooohh you can die!! And? Everyone dies, not like a being that has to be channeled through a piece of wood and has no power to move the little piece of wood without your assistance can do much more than nothing you to death.

I think I am going to buy a Ouija board and use it alone. With red candles, no silver, ask annoying questions, never say goodbye, don't thank the spirits, without a "circle of salt", and purposely yank the indicator off the board multiple times just for s and giggles. See you all in the funny papers.

Sincerely,

I recognize your style. I think you've been suspended at least twice for abuse. Moderators - ?

I have an ouiji board in my house that everyone is scared of. I do believe in their power by seeing first hand them in use. That was a long time ago almost a different life, 20 years ago. I am a Christian and believe in god and my experience with the board is that it didn't like my room and wouldn't answer any questions. When asked if it liked my room it went directly to no and none of us 3 girls (2 sisters who believed in the satanic bible) of us were touching the center piece... I am 40 am still wonder about demons and ghosts... should I try to use this device or did curiosity really kill the cat... Thanks... Shanny

I strongly suggest you don't use it alone. I just got a Ouija board on 1/6/2010. I used it the same night with my sister in law. It worked all right but tonight 1/7/2010 I decided that I wanted to try it alone so I could make sure nobody else was moving the planchette. I strongly don't believe in stuff having to do with spirts or ghost and so forth. Well I used it tonight by myself and I wished I hadn't. The whole time I used it I felt watched. Countless times it told me to go to hell or you. I heard banging coming from the attic. My boyfriend was in the same room with me the whole time and he asked me what the heck that sound was. As far as getting possessed if you use the board alone is true. I lost one of my younger brothers to a Ouija board. He kept using it alone and got so into it. Things started to get very ugly,. the spirt eventually stayed in the house 24-7 and got violent. Just be careful either way.

TAKE IT BACK!! Don't mess with those things, I don't know why the heck they are still selling them. It's not a game, and shouldn't be sold as such! Regards!
