A scientific mind would not presume it is our responsibility to disprove concepts like “Collective Unconsious” [sic].
- Is it not enough that posters on this board reference those who have already done some pretty thorough research, or must we do all the research personally before commenting?
- There has already been quite a few studies done on the gullibility of people with regards to psychic abilities. have you visited www.randi.org for instance?
You didn’t read the thread or did a poor job of it. I was hoping after six weeks of this thread being dormant, we’d heard back from the OP with an update; instead we get this. Quija boards have been looked into for some time. Some give in to the ideomotor effect. Some are just downright gullible. Some have friends that like to deceive other friends they find gullible. What do you propose that “collective unconscious” would have to do with any of this that perhaps you think would make it any more credible?
My mum used to shout stop asking silly questions as I questioned every thing and still do? But this ouiji board has got me stumped as I was at a party with the letters glass and all that bunk and watched as questions were answered by those sitting round the table. I said your pushing it around but they were adamant this was not the case so I blinfolded them all and still the answers kept coming? So I grabbed a torch switched off the lights and then I moved all the letters and numbers mixing them up as much as I could and guess what I asked the questions and ended up with a lot of information about Alan a guy who had died in 1920 in a motor cycle accident? When I asked him if he hit the same tree as Marc Bolan the glass went wild and nearly jumped off the table. I couldn,t think of anything else to do to stop the cheating element so if someone could think up an infallible test or explain what happened?next time I’ll give it a try.
How could you move the letters and numbers around? They’re painted on. How is that supposed to stop cheating anway. The participants can still see them.
From your description, you don’t seem to know what a Ouija board is.
I predicted that the person that resurrected this thread would have a Join Date of Feb 2011. Explain that, skeptics!
She was probably playing Scrabble- The Ouija Edition®
More importantly, ask my girl friend’s deceased mother where she hid the key to the chastity belt.
And black cats, and the number 13, and 2 dollar bills, etc. It’s all nonsense.
Didn’t notice this was a zombie thread until too late. :smack::mad:
I don’t know about the number 13, but stepping on a 2 dollar bill seems pretty wasteful, and you don’t know bad luck until you’ve stepped on a black cat.
Ouija boards… Zombies…
Nah, too easy.
Didn’t you read the poorly-phrased under-punctuated run-on sentences? jane says she “blinfolded them all and still the answers kept coming?”
I’m still unclear on who Marc Bolan is, though.
He was the singer for T-Rex (“Bang a Gong, Get it On”) He’s dead.
He hit the same tree as that Alan guy, apparently.
Well, deaths come in trees, after all.
Cite that he’s really dead, and not a continuing part of the Collective Unconsious (sic)?
The tree that Marc Bolan hit is well known and now sort of a shrine to him:
It should be possible to find out if anyone was ever killed in an accident when their motorcycle hit that tree. In fact, since greedyjane says that the accident happened in 1920, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a list of all fatal motorcycle accidents in the U.K. in the year 1920.
A 1920’s style death tree?
