I thought that Marc Bolan died of cancer?
Don’t you mean James Dean? 
cedman, just click on the link in my post. It will link to the article about the memorial set up around the tree the Marc Bolan’s car hit. If you click on the name “Marc Bolan” in that article, it will llink to article about Marc Bolan.
I want answers, too. My first question is, after the first two or three successes, why did you waste your time on more stupid pictures, instead of asking it where Osama Bin Laden was, or what plants contain a chemical that will cure cancer, or even what Powerball numbers will be this week?
Didn’t they make a movie about him? The Other Bolan Guy or something like that?

Maybe if you tried again using a Ouija Board…?
I have a spirit that follows me around whenever I use an Ouija board. The first time i met the spirit was ~1983. The last time was around 1993. I might get an ouija board just for kicks and see if the spirit is still around.
“An” Ouija board? How the hell do you pronounce “Ouija”?
I’ve always heard it pronounced “wee-jah” or “wee-jee,” neither of which would get the “an” article.
That reminds me of Robert Heinlein’s comment about the real purpose of Tarot cards (and perhaps Ouija boards as well) – they provided a dodge for a proper young lady to obliquely suggest things to a proper young gentleman that proper young ladies simply did not say to proper young gentlemen.
If Ouija boards really worked, they would move without hands on the pointer. After all, are we to believe that the Spirit can move physical hands but not a physical pointer?
That reminds me of the joke: If those phone psychics truly had ability, they’d be dialing us with what we need to know!
The idea seems to be that the spirit or spirits work through the human subconscious or something. Otherwise they could just send us e-mail. Years, maybe decades ago, there was a fad using tape recorders to contact the Other World (Whooooh!) You left a tape recorder recording in a quiet room for an hour or two, and when you played back the tape you were supposed to hear the very faint voices of the spirits in the tape hiss.
I’ve always pronounced it oo-we-jah.
No clue if this is correct, or not.
Here’s all the help you need: There’s one born every minute. Double check whether you’re one of them.
The real question is, can you use a Ouija board to summon zombies, or just evil spirits from beyond the grave?
You can, but you’d better have a supply of chips and brain dip on hand.
For 20 years Ouija boards were parlor games until someone decided they were (spirtually) legit.
I shoulda mentioned that a couple years ago when this thread was started and I was mocking believers. What’s the explanation for the first two decades of spiritual dysfunction?
Like everything people don’t understand, there is a lot of fear associated with Ouija boards - until you have some practice working with them.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t encourage the practice, but not for the reasons others give. Not because I fear it. I don’t encourage it because I feel it retards the progress of souls in the next world by asking them to focus their attenton back on this one.
That said, contrary to whatever anyone wants to believe, there is nothing fake about the experiences of those who have used it.
Those who feel the ouija board should be put to the test, will find that the spirits on the other side have no need to prove themselves to anyone in that way, and like anyone else, take objction to such testing. Generally they wiill simply stop working unless they feel the testers are simply, honestly and unjudgmentally trying to verify that they work as in the case of the first poster.
People also need to know that the living who participate in ouija board sessions, themselves affect the outcome because their thoughts and feelings can be and typically are channeled through to affect the movement of the planchette, even if they are not actually touching it.
The reason the first poster said that one person’s eyes had to remain open for one or more of the spirits to “see” is because the spirits still do need some of our physical powers and energy to interact with us. While they are not in bodies of their own, they need our own bodies to help them interpret this world.
The next world is not free of evil. However most of the spirits that would seek to communicate with us are good. There may be the odd prankster or joker among them, just as you would find among the living. So by and large the negative readings shoud just be ignored as spurious, and they will eventually stop.
The first poster on this thread did not sound like he was tricked or duped by someone else in the group. I’ve used the board just on my own and had similar kinds of readings where accuracy was being put to the test.
One thing that should be noted, however, is that because of the fact that those who take part interact with the board, those readings will be affected accordingly, and inaccuracies can and do creep in as a result, unless they keep their minds very blank and make sure they don’t occasionally “lead” the movement of the planchette. Then again the spirits can just simply be wrong sometimes. Just like everyone else, they are not perfect. They may well have a bird’s eye view “up there”, but they are not all-seeing and all-knowing.
Most importantly of all, one must be aware that there is nothing to fear about a thing when you understand it. The only thing to fear is fear itself, and knowledge is the antidote to that fear. This is true of the ouija board as much as it it for anything else.

I use the same technique in my scientific experiments and publications. I, of course, know what the real outcome of those experiments should be. The ones that produce other results only occur because someone has failed to believe in them, so I ignore those particular runs of the experiments. This technique has allowed me to produce far stronger results in my experiments and more publications, whereas before realizing what I had to do my papers were rejected because the reviewers claimed that my experiments failed to prove my hypotheses.
