robert_columbia, you misspelled “møøse”.
And Revtim, I would expect that the fact that there are multiple people with their hands on the pointer would make it even less mysterious. If two people have their hands on the thing, even if a demon did move it, I’d expect that each person would just accuse the other of cheating.
If that site had a counter on it, we’d be able to better evaluate your assertion that we’ve ALL heard the stories…
Okay, that prit-near made me die laughing. For further developments on my reactions, please consult your nearest Ouija board.
If you don’t make contact, it means I got better.
Then when he shows up, you pull a genre switch and kick the killer through the nearest wall.
awesomely apt double answer: no, we weren’t catholic.
so well played. we need “like” buttons.
Well, when you put it that way, it almost sounds silly.
I am laughing out loud in a hotel room.
It is 0130 EST.
You people stop being so dang funny.
Why not try a holiday in Sweden this year?
Well, we’re primarily talking about kids, and adults who are stupid enough to think a board game sold in every toy store in American in the same section as ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos’ can communicate with demons and/or the dead.
Now wait a minute here!
How do you KNOW that Hungry Hungry Hippos can’t be used to scry the future?
Maybe the marbles could be numbered and then they could be counted after being eaten by the Hippos.
You total up the numbers in each quarter and then go that way for dinner.
What do y’all think?
ETA: Oh yeah, I forgot, you have to align the board to cardinal points.
And then sacrifice a virgin.
My mouse is possessed - by me. That’s why I call it MY mouse.
How can you “possess” an inanimate object if you are a living person? Telekinesis?
…I prefer clear title. 
For that matter, what’s so special about it? It’s a card with a bunch of letters and numbers on it. Why can’t a ghost/demon just type on my iPhone screen, or write a note if I leave a pen and paper out? Why do messages have to happen only in circumstances where other human beings can easily meddle with them (or, as I’d argue, make them up out of whole cloth, either singly or several in the group)?
I mean, looking at the site Theophane linked, people are describing demon visitations, where their very life seemed to be at risk. Demons need something from Parker Brothers to cross into this mortal plane? Why?! If they’re so powerful and dangerous, why are they relying on a board game to be able to transcend time and space to escape Hell?
I feel sad for any fully-functioning adult who can’t see through this.
Because Parker Brothers is an agent of the Devil, obviously. I mean, they have to be or Ouija boards wouldn’t work, see?
Because Milton-Bradley stuff just doesn’t work that well.
It’s probably not safe to play with a Ouija board when you’re horribly lonely.
Did anyone see the Penn & Teller: Bullshit episode on Oujia boards where they attempt to contact the spirit of William Frawley, but the board doesn’t work when the subjects using it are blindfolded or the board’s upside down?
ETA: I think in that episode they also make a big point of the fact that Ouija boards are manufactured by Mattel.
My older cousins used to have that game and would never let me play…they always used to kick me out the room :rolleyes:
I like the way you think!
Wait, you aren’t actually using a mouse you need to touch still, are you? I’ve been moving mine with my mind for ages. The only problem is that when the walls start bleeding, I get distracted and accidentally double post.
