The trouble I have with ouija boards is that people claim they are having contact with invisible entities. From what I understand, the ouija board works by guiding the hands of the people in the group. Well if this is the case why don't ghosts, if they exist, move light weight objects more frequently?

unfortunatly i can not shed any real light on the matter as i am not really a "believer" of such phenomena...

I just feel it's as trivial as sitting around with a light piece of paper and saying "Ghosts, move this." I mean back when I was a true believer I tried that several times. It never worked. Maybe there were no ghosts around but you'd think there would be plenty with all the deceased.

Well I used to do the Ouija board with my mates and family when I was a bit younger, and I seen it as a bit of a laugh. I was also always sure that someone was pushing the glass, until one time I was with my mates doing it, but decided not to be part of it (I was just watching this time).

The board then spelled out things that no one there (or anyone else at all) knew about me, things that only I knew. Yes when I had done it before it had said things or candles blew out and stuff, but that all could of been someone pushing it or the wind blowing etc etc, but the last time I did it was things that no one at all knew.

That had me convinced it was real and I haven’t done it since.

Ouija boards are not real.
Its people moving the glass.
Its an old snake oil salesman trick.
To get money.
I have seen a group of people once do seances.
And one of the guys I know was moving the glass and made some freaky things.
They got so freaked out some had to go to hospital.
And some are still on medication.
And the guy couldnt believe that doing that caused all that.
It plays on the most massive fears in peoples subconscious minds.
And this was why it was made up, because it meant almost a sure thing when it came to getting free money.
