    They were first patented by a toy company as a toy, nothing else.

    They have been aken over somewhat by the lunatic fringe of the paranormal.

    There is a very easy test to prove that they don't work, and that is to blinfold all the participants, then see if you can make any sense out of the answers, or can't spirits guide through blindfolds?

    Here is my personal experience with an Ouija Board:

    When I asked the spirit what are the names of my future boyfriends, it only revealed the letter "M." All my three ex-boyfriends were named Marcus, Matthew and Mark. I felt like I was cursed since all three relationships went down the drain. My last relationship lasted for 4 years and I thought we would make it and break the curse.

    I'm usually not a believer in superstitions and Ouija Boards, however, this incident has been giving me the creeps for years. Now I refuse to associate with people (especially guys) whose names start with the letter “M”. Paranoid? Perhaps. Think it was all a coincident? You be the judge.

    They say it can be used as a portal. I have never had that experience, I think the spook stories make you more afraid than anything else while you use one because your fear of the unknown of what can happen heightens your sense of fear.

    I have never had a bad time using one but then again it has been long ago and I was a teenager. I have not had any friends that have ever had a problem either.

    The anxiety in your mind causes it to move as your heart beats faster through your finger tips that in itself is what makes it move. That and your subconscience mind.

    yes i've used the glow in the dark ouija board but It was really frustrating beacuse the pointer would move smoothly since the board was cardboard, yes their was felt on the bottom of the pointer. If your planning to use one spend a little extra it if you want a cool useable board. Try the site below they sell well unique handmade boards. I bought one from them and they are so well made and awsome.

    I bought myself a ouija board and me and my friends used it on Halloween night last year. our friend, Nick, had died earlier that same year, we decided we were going to ask him some questions. like "are you in a better place?","was death painful?" and other stuff like that

    what happened was that I was the first to put my hand on the board and ask the question. I asked "are you here with us, Nick?" and I closed my eyes, and when I opened them I saw that it had moved to the word yes

    everyone else thought i moved it myself but i knew that i didnt

    after that they decided to put the ouija board away because they thought every one else would move it on their own

    that night i walked back to my house, alone but i didnt feel alone. Nick was walking back with me, to make sure i made it back safe. he told me to walk down a dark alleyway, one different than the one i usually take home. the next day on the news, i saw that a woman was shot in the same alley that i would have taken if it wasnt for Nick, at about the same time i was walking home

    ouija boards do work if you have someone in the other world to interact with that can show the way

    I had a friend who used a Ouija board once, He had a terrible experience, very bad reaction to it, Good advice is to stay well clear from them, they are seriously bad news.

    Yes i have used one once, well it was one me and some girls made in my dormitory at boarding school when we were bored. lol. Yeah, was a pretty weird experience, we all kept accusing someone else of moving the glass when it was moving by itself. lol. Was a good and bad experience to be honest. We contacted some bad and some good spirits but none of us had an bad experiences after we used it or anything . it was ok i guess lol

    Used it when I was a teenager. My sister and I had very bad experiences that I cannot share in this forum. I burned both of ours and am glad that I am a Christian and am protected from the doors I opened. Don't try it because you may be a person that it doesn't work for or you may be a person that it does work for. If it works for you, it is bad and bad things usually happen.

    As far as I know ouija boards function as portals, where whatever gets open is impossible to close, is better not to mess with those things. I haven't used it yet but I have friends who did and they have many problems in their life, more that they should.

    I have a few friends who use them, if you do it blind folded the answers will come up totally messed up because it's practically just your subconscious moving your hands around the board. Every one of them say it's really fun though and not bad at all. It does work if you think your controlling it means it's working.
