Even smart people get depressed. Hmmm... Should be evidence of SOMETHING!

I continued with séances for awhile.........I liked being scared
Only many years later did I come to know that it was DEMONS that were pretending to be spirits of dead people.

WOW! That was a mouthful.
I'm gonna turn off the lights and burn some incense and read it again.
Just kidding,
I am going to read it again though. Peace.

Just having a laugh at all those people who are communicating with lost souls. No proof , no proof at all just people with vivid imaginations.

Apparently when contacting a dead person on an Ouija board the chances are you are not contacting a human spirit at all but that of a demon.
They may not necessarily be a demon but its never anything good. As a teen I had used a Ouija board several times and the end result was always bad or at least very creepy. No matter what question you ask even if it is about something you have no idea of, the "thing" will always say the right thing. I practice Wicca and Tarot cards and Ouija's are just trouble. It is in your best interest to just leave them alone. Remember that there are somethings in this world that don't need us to believe in them to exist.

As has been proven time (and time, and time) again, what you're contacting is your own subconscious. Not demons. Not spirits. Not ghosts.
Apparently these demons will even tell you stuff which you thought only you and your lost buddy knew.
Because it's your subconscious mind. Ask it something that you DON'T know a thing about ...
...like... "Under the Hyperkahler metrics of cohomogeneity one, if O n is a non-zero nilpotent orbit and is non-compact, then WHY is it not homogeneous under the action of G?"
Yes, that's a real question. I can guarantee that demons/spirits/angels/deities, and even alien races with starfaring ability can answer that. It's Not Terribly Complex Mathematics (just a definition.)
Your Ouija board couldn't answer that UNLESS the person on the other side just happened to be a graduate student who was studying complex Algebras in a PhD level program.
If you're terribly suggestible and a "Trooooooooooooooo BEEEEleeever" then yes, you can get caught up in your own mental games. But it's harmless.
...unless you're the superstitious type.
Don't be superstitious, okay?

[kind of a rant I guess]
Many scientists believe that merely watching an experiment take place or observing something in general can affect the outcome.
So, I think that if you take someone who is using a board to dispell its validity as opposed to a curious spiritual person, then there will be different results. Makes sense right? Seek and you'll find right? Works both ways.
There is more going on than some want to believe. I'm all for debunking and science and whatever. But some go to great pains to voice their opinions that there is nothing to religion or afterlife or souls in general.
Often they get angry and resort to calling people stupid, or sheep, or silly, etc.
Why is it so hard for some to acknowledge the possibility that they haven't had a certain experience, or opportunity to observe or feel something new?
If someone tells me that there is nothing to demons, and spirits, and religion, I'll say "that's a possibility". It's NOT my belief though which I keep the intricacies of to myself. It's a private thing.
