    Ouija board.

    Also do you really think an item made by Parker Brothers and sold in toy stores is really going to hold the secrets to contacting the after life?

    1. Ouija boards are toys that let you communicate with your subconscious mind - a well known psychology effect called the ideomotor effect ( http://ln-s.net/23Ih ).

    2. There's nothing evil or supernatural about them.

    3. Superstitious folk are afraid of them because they feel they may attract ghosts, demons or spirits (none of these exist, of course).

    4. In reality, they're as dangerous as chess boards.

    5. Strangely, when the participants are blindfolded and the board is turned around, the ghosts/demons are confused. Why do you think that happens? (Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA5uYhXpa-E , 2 minutes in).

    It's true. It's a connection between the living and non-living and it's very very harmful especially for spiritually weak people.

    They say that if you're spiritually and emotionally weak, and you play Ouija, you'll get possessed more easily.

    And most of all, it is not a game. All I know is that it is a sin against the first commandment of the Lord.

    Some people use it to ask the "non-living" about the future, about their luck...about everything they want to know, but it's very harmful.

    I do not believe it has any power. It really is just a piece of cardboard with writing on it.

    No. But i used it once to spell out kiss me to a girl I liked and she did.

    It was no demon that did it, it was me.
