So this topic just crossed my mind randomly, I remember it circulated around Youtube for a while on people trying them out and trying to get in contact with paranormal entities.
The Ouija Board came into existence as a parlour game in the 1800's, describing the Ouija Board as instruments which were to open communications with the spirit world.
So if you have never used an Ouija board its pretty straight forward, a group sits around the boards placing two fingers each on what is known as a planchette, when i was in the 6th grade myself and a group of friends did this as a 'joke' not knowing the full meaning behind them and being the experimental teens we were we decided why not give it ago. (side note - we got the board off my mum although I don't think it was an actual wooden board) Sitting around the table we began asking questions, I swear I felt movement but really I thought to myself its probably all of us just attempting to move it to scare one another, I remember a big gust of wind coming past us although at the time we had no windows or doors open so we were a little freaked out on where it would have came from. We also had a candle lit and within about 2 minutes of using the board the candle went out and that was it from us no way were we continuing and being absolutely scared shitless we jumped up and ran straight out into the light as we were sitting in a dark room! Other then that nothing to extreme really happened and now when I think about it, it somewhat creeps me out and what danger it could have possessed if we had continued.
I fully believe now that these boards are not something to play around with, even though people have made them seem pretty harmless and then again if you have watched some videos on youtube like me then you'll think otherwise.
The question is is it a result of subconscious manipulations by the "players", communication with the supernatural, or a combination. Even psychologists acknowledge it works and believe it can provide access to the unconscious.
I also believe that when using the board you are literally opening up a door and allowing spirits in, I also think they aren't good spirits. The act of touching the planchette of the Ouija Board is a possible invitation to spirit possession. The more involved a person becomes by spending time and effort in communicating the spirit the more chance of possession. If a person is spiritually sensitive, they can be affected by a spirit influence by being in the same room while an Ouija Board is being worked.
So what do you guys think?? real.. or fake.
