Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

.....The ouija board is a powerful tool for professionally minded people dealing with the paranormal, but to encourage the public to use them for games in my view is unethical, unprofessional and to say the least can be potentially dangerous.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

Dangerous in as much as its a 'you get what it says on the tin type way' or the fact you might as well just stand there yelling at the moon and exepcting it to wink back at you ?

 

I think its more dangerous to lend weight to the fact that people may believe that they will get some type of occurance rather than the fact normal occurances will occur and they end up believing that dark forces are responsibe !!!

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

I agree with most the Ouija Board is nothing more than a victorian parlour game.

I quote from the original reply by Jeanette:-

"I have been witness to a session on an ouija board where it has gone terribly wrong and seen 6 young men fleeing with fear and I can assure you that neither they or myself had psychological problems! (I must add here that I was not participating in the session, but keeping well out of the way, an observer in the back ground!) We have had stories come in where people have had bad things happen after they have been experimenting with these boards and we have been called out to help people."

This is nothing more than trying to frighten people into something that doesn't exist.

Our group aren't looking for business from our website by promoting the "dangers" of the ouija board. ITS JUST A GAME!! - As proved by Derren Brown.

If anyone wanted to use one on one of our investigations we wouldn't stop them. It certainly wouldnt make any difference to the outcome! Don't believe all your warned about!!!!

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board
ok Sally, we were called to a house in Suffolk, (which was never haunted before because i lived in the house for five years) the people had been using a ouija board every night for a long time. we were called in because they had started to see figures and hear loud knocks and bangs both night and day, so where did the ghost suddenly come from??. if not brought in by the ouija board.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board
maybe if you were to post a noite on this forum to tell people how to CLOSE  a board down when they have finished, then you wouldnt have to rid peoples houses of unwanted spirits. I'm sure mant people would like to know how this is done, as you will NEVER stop people from using these boards.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

A ouija board is no more than another form of glass divination Richard, and i have taken part in a lot of this. Yes the glass does move around etc. But only because of the over exuberance of the people taking part - willing it, not even knowing/realising they are pushing it themselves.

I have seen big strapping men running from seance's when they thought they saw something lurking around in the shadows. It could all be rationally explained.

We like to investigate these situations but prefer to view from the sceptic side. Unless a "ghost"/ paranormal apparition is standing in front of us up to our faces, well then we may view things a little differently, but if we have to spend 40 years looking for the proof which you seem to have done, and not come up with the clear evidence after all that time then I think it would be beneficial for us to take up another pastime! Which is why our website looks at things objectively and why we have received much praise for this.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

Just thought I would add my comments to this thread !!

 As a teenager, myself and my siblings used a Ouija board quite regularly and from personal experience I can tell you some terrible things happened in my house. Clothes and books were shredded to pieces, we were all scratched and cut in our sleep. And many more things, too many to mention. There were no psychological problems in the family, and nothing like this had happened before we used the Ouija Board.  So My thoughts and feelings are, that Ouija Boards are dangerous, and should not be used lightly. Our house had to be Spiritually cleansed twice, untill it got back to Normal. I only speak for myself and my family, but I do believe that Ouija Boards should be left well alone unless you know what you are doing with them and close them down correctly. I agree with Richard and what he has said in his threads.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

 

Just joined this forum so Hi to everyone.. an interesting thread  but S&NPI really!.. you don't appear to be giving any useful info regarding Quija boards.. afterall one only needs a table some paper and a glass and you have one of your own.. opening and closing a protective circle is very easy to do if your mind is focused on light and the desire that no harn befall anyone in your group but to challenge people to buy one and "see what the results are" is childish and foolhardy... nice to see you would be onto a little earner if the particpants felt that something had gone wrong. Surely as a paranormal investigator you have a certain amount of sceptisism until you can prove there is no scientific explanation for "events"

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

Hi Gotchihaven

 

Im glad you agree, no useful information has been given by S&NPI and as you rightly say a childish and foolhardy bit of advice given. Whats to be gained from this "well another investigation for them of course!!. No useful information was given by either of them to my last posting except to copy yards and yards of information from the all too accessible world wide web where you can pick up all sorts of rubbish. On top of that to try and suggest that my website has similarities to theirs. Definitely not!! We quite clearly state we are sceptics until proven otherwise.

Of course the 3 websites i posted for them to claim the money on their theories that they are right still stands and not one of the 3 sites has been contacted to date. I find that fascinating in itself, if i was so sure of myself i wouldn't be going to work next week i'd take the money.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

 

I feel I would like to join in this debate as some very interesting observations have been made by a few of you

 

"Going back to my original posts on this thread, any effects of using the board appear to be psychological. Granted, this is no less comfort to those having problems with this, but this remains the fact of the matter."

Kind Regards

Mark D. 

"I repeat my previous comments towards the top of the thread, none of the ‘effects’ of using the board described thus far indicates a source that does not fall outside the realms of psychological cause."

 

Some very pertinent points Mark

The fact is if you are being affected (in any way) the source is perhaps not as important as the cure.

Here! Here! Some sense at last

  

Mark D again … “But if they are so dangerous, with everyone who has used one (numbering thousands at a conservative estimate) producing an evil spirit or demon, why isn't the country over run by these things?

The maths simply does not stack up.”

Exactly Mark the numbers just don’t add up

 

Richard B states they are no more than a parlour game Quote…

“I work as a medium and Ouija Boards don't require any qualifications to use one correctly it's not a recognised form of divination, they are merely another parlour game…

 

Frankly I am stunned that a Medium would think that

 

My favourite post to date is from Jimbo

 “Maybe if you were to post a noite on this forum to tell people how to CLOSE  a board down when they have finished, then you wouldnt have to rid peoples houses of unwanted spirits. I'm sure mant people would like to know how this is done, as you will NEVER stop people from using these boards.

 Now I feel we are getting somewhere

So as for an Ouija Board being a means of contacting the discarnate it would silly to think that certain souls in spirit are not adverse to bit of mischief and given the opportunity… as may occur when you go on to the board without the proper respect they might do just that… so beware!

So how do you use the Ouija to good effect?

Firstly find some friends who seriously want to see if it is possible to contact the Spirit World, three of four of you would do nicely

Assign one of you to be the note taker, it is very important to document every session including the date.

Have a larger enough pointer to allow three or four fingers to be lightly placed on it.

If you feel it is appropriate then you may like to begin each session with a prayer, if you all feel uncomfortable with praying in the presence of others then forgo it, or say your own prayer silently.

Some will tell you, you MUST offer a prayer of protection

I feel it is a matter of personal preference.

Now after a small amount of time the pointer may begin to move, at first slowly then increasing in speed.

At first it may spell out total gobbledegook… perseverance is the key here.

It may take several attempts to begin to get any sense at all. Indeed it may take several weeks or even months of nonsense before you start to get some evidence that you can verify.

    VERY IMPORTANT:

BE UNDER NO ILLUSION, IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR FINGERS ON THE POINTER THAT CAUSE IT TO MOVE

 

The individuals in Spirit can not make it move without you, so don’t take your fingers off and expect it to carry on by it's self… it can’t and it won’t

From experience I would like to state one of the major problems with using the Ouija board is that you will literally get the (Spirit) World and his wife trying to communicate with you.

As a means of getting contact from people who you, or the other sitters know, it is very unreliable.

Again from experience of using one for several sessions approx 80% of the information we received was of no consequence whatsoever to any of the sitters.

We did mange to get some evidence that proved conclusively to us all that it is possible to use an Ouija board to contact Spirit.

 

Trust me you have nothing to fear except fear it’s self, as long as you behave in a responsible and adult manner

I can assure you all it is NOT a parlour game and as such should not be treated as one.

After each session you can if you wish close the board down with a simple prayer of thanks.

And then put it away until your next session, once a month is fine, once a week is fine, once a day is NOT fine.

Possession is 99% obsession

If you would like an invocation to use then you might like to try this…

“We call out to the positive powers of the Universe, to our guides and masters, (say any words here you all comfortable with) God, or Guardian Angels etc.) Assist us to open psychically and become a channel for the light”

Or better still if you feel you would like to, make up your own invocation…

When your session comes to an end thank whoever you asked to help and any discarnate souls who managed to make contact.

 

The above is an abridged version of a typical session.

 

Most mediums, if they are worth their salt when using an Ouija board would know who is trying to make contact before the pointer even begins to move.

Using an Ouija board can be a very slow and laborious process, it is far better to spend your time enhancing your own mediumistic ability.

After achieving what I would call the Wow! Effect, “Gosh they really work” move on to a more reliable means of communication.

Re: The Dangers Of Using A ouija Board

Hi all.

I've just found the forums - very interesting - and having read through this thread I can't help but pick up on the following:

 Anubis wrote:

The individuals in Spirit can not make it [the pointer] move without you, so don’t take your fingers off and expect it to carry on by it's self… it can’t and it won’t

My question is 'Why? Why can't Spirit make the pointer move on their own? Am I not right in thinking that Spirit can make doors open, objects move about, etc? If so, then surely they can make a pointer move on a ouija board?

Excuse any ignorance that may came across in this question; I'm an interested bystander not a participating expert!

John
