We used a ouiji board a long time ago and some really bad things started happening. Alot of the things that were spelled out came true (like my dad had a heart attack and a good friend died in a wreck), but then everytime we would use the board, only bad spirits would come through. When we quit using the board, spirits filled our house. They would follow us down the hallway and pull my hair or breath on my neck. The worst thing that happened was one night, I had laid down on the couch, I heard someone pull in the driveway and went to get up, but couldn't. It was like someone had me pinned down on the couch. I couldn't move and couldn't talk. The whole room smelled like old sweat. When the front door opened, it went away. We cleansed the house, but every so often still have something that shows up. Needless to say, I don't use ouiji boards anymore!

I have 4 or 5 boards kicking around my house, I have tried to use them on a number of occasions with no luck, I think its all a load of rubbish myself. They just don’t work its nothing more then a game. Ye I know loads of people that say they work and they have even tried to prove it to me (with no luck). They either, cheated and pushed the pointer or nothing happened.

I really would like to see one work, but I cant see it happening

my ouija board was missing (somewhere in the abyss of my room)
so my friends and i made our own out of a mirror. we wrote the letters and everything on it in marker and we used a piece of plastic for a pointer-thing.
it was really freaky because the pointer moved so fast-REALLY fast. it was freaky. my friend got scared though, so we stopped.

I have probably an unpopular opinion on the Oiuja..I have been using one since I was 16..For the most part I have used one with just my best friend through out the years...I have never had a really bad experience with them either..We have one spirit for the most part that comes through on our board..I wouldn't use one with just anyone..ok see..I have the opinion that like attracts like,..If you are go on there with a disrespectful attitude or use it with someone who has one..or even with someone whom has a more Dark Energy about them..then it is quite likely that you are going to attract a Dark Spirit as well..I have up to this date never had that happen..The spirit on our board seems to be very good at predicting dates..He predicted the day my son would be born 5 months in advance..same with my daughter...predicted me meeting someone years in advance..Told me this person's name..and was correct...So ok..If you are choosy about who you use one with ..like attracts like..you look for Evil..you will find it..I'm 34 and have used it for 18 years...without one really bad experience,,.they are not evil..IMO

I really want to get an ouija board or angel board, but my Aunt, (her sister is a witch, and magick runs in her family...) says i shouldnt get one ever, or if i really must, once i really know what i am doing. And my dad doesnt know that i am intrested in this sort of 'stuff' and he would probably ban me from having anything to do with it, so i dont know where i would hide it. i really want one, but i would probably get an angel board or something besides an ouija board.

Well, if ye must know, I must also have an "unpopular" view of ouija boards! I agree with Raven451, like attracts like! If your going to use an ouija board, my advice is you cleanse everything, including yourself first! Then it's all about open minds and good intentions. I mean, think about it, if you go out and ask a stupid question, only a stupid person will answer! Same thing with spirits, bad question = bad answer!

I really do hope Arianna is around, because I'm very eager to know what an imp looks like!! Maybe THAT'S what I'm seeing when I keep thinking my cat Kirara's in my room....Then again, it might also explain what my cat Kirara is chasing through the house at night....

I have a board that is dated on the back with 1910 and it is wooden and real big...... Also I have the moving thing that was in it's orginal box from 1916. I don't know why I keep them around I haven't used them for 11 years. I guess they have a hold on me.

Ouija Boards really intrigue me, always have, but I don't dare use one in case bad Spirits come through, it's just not worth the wisk! I would like to though but haven't plucked-up the courage and it's not the kind of Spirit(s)/Energy I want to be attracting.

I refuse to use ouija boards, I had a bad experience with it, I would say it's been about a good 10yrs ago, Myself and my ex purchased one. When the time came to ask it something like show us a sign the " cursor" (dont know what you call it) moved! I was freaked! well we put it in the closet and all that night we felt a uneasyness in the house coming from the closet i felt like we really invited something evil in the house. Needless to say i threw it away the next morning. I will not ever use that again. They really do work if you ask my opinion, but you never know who or what you're inviting from the "other side"
I would advise people not to use them.

I wouldn't exactly consider that a bad experienced. It worked but why buy one if you're not planning on using it? I don't like the cursor personally. I think I'd buy the board, and throw it away and use a pendelum.

I am extremely leery of ouija boards...I bought one reasoning that it is only a game made by a toy company...cardbaord and plastic nothing more. I don't really understand why, but I do believe that there is something about the ouija board that attracts lower entities.
I bought an antique board on ebay and put it in my bedroom closet...I never even used it, but I had some very frightening dreams which included a warning from my spirit guide ( I think) to get rid of the ouija board right away.
I believe that a few people owned the board for years and that there was an entity who liked the attention and had sort of attached himself to it..people became obsessed with it and he enjoyed manipulating the living. In my dream my spirit guide ( a man I had never seen before...I am assuming it was my guide, although I always pictured a woman..weird)
said " He has found it" and he held out his hand to the closet where the board was..he told me that he could hold him (the entity) back for a little while , but I needed to get rid of the board immediately) ...I feel as though I should have destroyed it, butI was afraid of what could happen.
This entity was not a nice man in life and his nastiness has only deepened in death.
I sold it on ebay, but I did so with a warning....I got an email a few weeks later from the woman who bought it letting me know that it frightened her and that she was going to get rid of it as well.
For at least a solid year after I sold the board I could feel a very negative energy in my bedroom...even hearing a male voice say something in my ear and sitting on my bed...to say I was frightened is an understatement.
We bought a new house last month and I have to say that a ouija board will never find it's way into this house.

Well last week I bought my first spirit/ouija board. I love it, it looks smart.
I have done them before when I was younger.

Anyway my dad came through which was nice, he's informed me that I'm pregnant, I was 4 days and it's a boy, and it'll be fine.
2 days later I did it again, it said I was 6 days then after midnight it said I was 7 days pregnant and I will do a test on the 7th of september and it'll show positive.

Bearing in mind I have only 1 ovary, Endometreosis a tilted uterous and the hormone coil in, So its very unlikely but there is that tiny chance.
I don't know, I do believe in the board they've never lied before but I still find it hard to believe.
Opinions welcome.

Blessed be

I too have unpopular opinions of oujia boards. I think it's a tool, like anything else. I think it's something that needs to be respected, and used with care. I don't have one myself, but a friend of mine uses one from time to time.

He had some bad experiences early on, when he was using it with friends who made fun of it and did it while drunk... and that's stupid. Using a divination tool while drunk is ASKING for trouble.

On the other hand, when he uses it with people who are clear about their intent to speak to good spirits, cleanse the place before and after, and use a circle of protection, he's had NO problems. In fact, he even used the board to get rid of the negative beings that accumulated after early unfortunate uses of the board.

His first experience was at a party, with drunk people, as a party favor, and they did have poltergeist activity. He went from atheist to pagan because of his experiences with the board.

So yeah, ground and center. Make sure everyone present does that. Cleanse the area. I think that intent to talk to beings and see the beings, as well as the fear of the Oujia board itself, can manifest into critters that take up residence is what happens with the people who have those bad experiences. As long as you feel that they won't go away until the board does, well... that's what happens. Also, it's possible that those "things" were there all along, and one didn't notice them until you used the board and got more sensitive to one's environment.

Well, that's my theory, my less than two cents.

[aphrodite]

Does nobody have any comments or opinions about my experience, any thing would be appreiated. PLEASE.

I have also read my tarot cards and they've said the same thing.

I don't know, aphrodite. Go buy a pregnancy test and find out for yourself. I don't know how far along you have to be for it to work, though. Divination tools can give you a heads up but don't rely on it to tell you everything. If it says you're pregnant, go take steps to confirm then prepare if you are. Or it might be lying; I know you said you've never had it lie to you before, but they definately have to me so I take everything in them with a grain of salt.

Oh, and start making sure you're healthy (if you aren't already) to carry a baby. Whether you're pregnant or not

If you are, congratulations!

[jcrowfoot]

The body is an amazing thing. If that one ovary works, it is possible you are pregnant. Unfortunately, in oder to verify this, you need to wait and give yourself a test, Aphrodite. Of course, you want to be balanced in your considerations, things like: do you have a regular male sexual partner?
Do you have a sense of time when you get those results? Is it NOW, or is it later? That kind of thing.
