So does anyone believe Ouija Boards are truly evil? My little brother, his GF, another buddy, and I have been messing around with one, and it’s been doing very bad stuff to us…we think it’s evil. Does anyone else agree?
Welcome to the Boards. Just to keep everyone on the same page, the report was How does a Ouija board work?
It’s a kids game, not anything supernatural. It’s like using Clue to solve real life murders.
Agreed. Thinking Ouija boards are evil went out with thinking you’d fall off the edge of the Earth if you sailed too far. Thais have asked me what does Ouja mean exactly and are always disappointed that it’s simply the words for “yes” in French and German placed side by side.
I’m curious, though. Exactly what sort of “bad stuff” is this naughty board doing to you??
Burn the board you were using inside a pentagram, then turn your back to the flames and chant, three times, “This sacred flame now reinforces, evil spirits’ low discourses, shunned from one and all our bourses.”
It’s the only way to be sure.
You may burn your house down, but it’s a small price to pay for safety from demonic interference.
Or you could, just maybe… realize that it’s a piece of stiffened cardboard with some printed numbers on it, utterly without evil. Or good. Or anything.
“Bourses”?
If bad things happen when you use a Ouija board, stop using it. Doesn’t seem very complicated to me.
If one was to accept that supernatural critters existed, and one also believed that they had an interest in harassing mere mortals, one should also maybe take a few more precautions than suggested by the fine folks at Parker Brothers.
I vote he should sacrifice his little brother. That usually does the trick.
Why don’t you ask the board what you should do?
Evil spirits are very susceptible to obscure rhyming words.
If it wasn’t for the entertainment factor the thread is providing so far, I’d be minded to suggest that members might not want to take seriously postings that are so obviously designed to, um, get them going.
Bricker, I’m surprised you didn’t use “sources” or “forces.” Bourses is a truly obscure rhyming word… 
“Reply hazy, ask again later.”
I love the definition - “a sale of numismatic or philatelic items on tables”. I must have a bourse once I gather enough numismatic or philatelic items.
And a table.
The guest’s OP is the most uninteresting Ouija Board comment I’ve ever heard. That said, I know a lot of people who are NOT at a all fund’ist or even C’tian who have some rather creepy stories about Ouija boards.
Meh. Light as a feather, stiff as a board game.
I’ve never understood the concept of a Ouija board in the first place. It’s a board with letters on it, with a pointer THAT MOVES WHEN YOU PUSH IT AROUND WITH YOUR HANDS! IT’S SO EERIE!
Oh, wait, no, it isn’t. My mouse does the same thing, with the added bonus that it can blind someone with a bright red light if you pick it up really quick after moving it.
Ah! The infamous Ouija-Mouse!
Careful with that one, if you have it in your bedroom it might try to strangle you in your sleep.
If you’re doing it right, and no-one is being a jack-ass and pushing the pointer around to write “Jenny should sleep with Jack”, it’ll feel to everyone as if it’s moving by itself. There’s a distinct difference in the feeling of it moving by … concensus ideomotor effect and jackassery, and I can understand how some find it eerie. If they are, like I was, twelve.
That’s because you didn’t know about our poor shunned boursi.
An oddity about the Ouija board is that when you’re intentionally moving it (especially for the benefit of others), the lighter you touch it the easier it is to move. I used to use this trick all the time when I was a kid using the board to fake revelations from beyond for the benefit of my suicidal mother who needed some hope no matter how fake it was: “Look! I barely have my finger on it!” I also used things overheard or learned or obscure tidbits remembered about the other “toucher” to give some validity to the revelations. Once the other person is aware of what’s being spelled out, incidentally, you can all but remove your fingers and the other person will spell it out subconsciously.
Years after the last time I “facilitated the spirits” using the Ouija Board for her, my mother was in ICU with a tube in her throat and unable to talk or use her right hand (IV tubes) following a surgery that had tremendous and almost fatal complications. She kept trying to tell us something, and her left hand scribblings with felt tip on a dry erase were almost illegible. I took the Ouija board nto the hospital so that she could communicate with us using her free hand. She looked at me as if I was nuts and wrote, one or two words on the dry erase at a time, the following message:
‘YOU’LL BE ABLE TO TALK TO ME ON THAT G=DDAMNED THING SOON ENOUGH!’
That said, years before it had given some eerie and accurate predictions even when I wasn’t consciously control it. I chalk it to coincidence.
That’s not the only way to be sure. (Although the alternative will also destroy your house.)
I give you the Ouija Mouse Pad.
If the OP is serious, IMO it can be used as a channel to the demonic. It does depend on a a demon that is willing to play on his end - if you are lucky that demon will have something else to do that night.
I’d burn that board personally
