Okay everyone, This is my first thread on ATS. Me and my friends are really curious about all the stories and things that happened to people that have used the Ouija Board. All my friends and i are 19 so we are fully responsible of what happens and we know the possible consequences.

We are going to Toys R Us to go buy one in a few hours and later on we're going to use it and see what happens. it will be 4 of us in my Garage. I'll have it totally dark and use a few candles to light things up.

Now i've used a Ouija board when i was around 11 years old but i cant recall anything bad that happened. My other friends havnt used one so they're very curious to see what all the fuss is about.

Any good advice you can share with me? How to get in contact with ghosts? How to make sure no demos are going to possess any of us or anything like that? Also it sounds weird but i think we all are expecting to see something really scary. I'm really excited for this and i know this sounds weird but i hope i see something really strange or have something really scary happen. As long as there's no permanent damage.

Also I know there will be a few of you discouraging me from using it but at this point we're doing it regardless. We've heard all the stories and we're just all really curious.I will have someone writing down all questions asked and all answers. If anything interesting happens i'll be sure to let you guys know.

Cheers!

Well if your going to do it and it actually does seem to respond then ask it to do a couple things for you and I'm serious about this too I want to see if my aunts experience with one can be recreated as I know no one that has been able to have this happen

(my aunt could have been just trying to scare us but years later everyone stuck to the story)

The curtains went straight out in the house and the windows were all closed.

In the window, when the curtains flew out, it looked and sounded like a thunderstorm outside but when they opened the door it was a clear night with no wind.

I tried to tell them maybe the AC in the house was just kicking on and making a loud noise and blowing the curtains up a bit but they claim what they saw is what happened. None of them ever touched the board after that night again either.

i certainly will ask it to do things for us. I am a believer of the paranormal but i am a little skeptical of the Ouija board. If any of you have any request of what you want me to ask it or what you want me to do i'll be glad to do it.

I really started not to even bother to respond since regardless of the warnings you are determined to do this, but here goes. You absolutely should not be fooling around with this. Do you think it is some sort of plot against the game company that every notable person involved with any spiritual activity speaks out against these things.

They are dangerous, any spirit of any sort can manipulate the cursor and you are leaving yourself open to more problems that you will even know how to handle. Admittedly you and your friends have NO EXPERIENCE with spirits and you want to call Ghosts?????

When you have your hands full and things are happening to you and in your house, you will be back asking for help from the self same people that are warning you against this. Since you are determined, good luck. You know nothing of spiritual protection and you are headed straight for TROUBLE.

Hi,
I'm not experienced with paranormal or ouija boards but I will go ahead and say it prob isnt the best of ideas. Listen to your fellow ATS'ers and remember... Curiosity killed the cat.

i appreciate your warnings. I really do. But your post is saying that i WILL get ghosts and will be haunted ETC. I'm not denying the possibility but you speak with such certainty. There are people who have had good experiences with them and genuinely enjoy the game with no harm being done. They speak to spirits and learn about them and such. I am reading on how we can stay protected during this. Thank you for your advice and knowledge.

I tried this years ago and have not touched it since. We were in contact with who turned out to be our great-grandfather on our mother's side. He asked us to go and pray for him (because he had sinned)....se we asked my mother where he was buried and went. We couldnt find his grave so we just stood near the church and prayed. When we got back we asked him if that was ok and he said thanks but dont practise this again because its evil and knocked all the letters off the table (we had made our own ouija). It certainly did spook us for a while.
The thing is he told us his name..which turned out to be correct. Do you know your great grandfathers name on your mothers side? We didnt. I still get goosepimples when I think about it.

You will NOT contact ghosts of relatives. You WILL however open your little world up to DEMONIC forces that can and will harm you!!! Heed the warnings put that thing out of your head. If you want to be spooked, go see a movie or something that cannot harm you.

If it does work, you should ask it for the next set of winning lottery numbers...

It may require an animal sacrifice on top of the board, but hey...

see this is what im talking about. This is what i want to have happen. It would be wonderful to be able to talk to my grandparents who have passed away. I understand there is certain risk. I'm not going to deny that but the fact is I'm never sure about anything until i experience it myself. If something interesting does happen tonight this will confirm my beliefs. I will have no doubt in my heart about it. Thats mainly what i want to accomplish tonight. To remove any doubt in my heart about the paranormal. Everything i believe in seems to be intangible and impossible to be sure of. This is probably the only thing i can be sure about.

I just had a fun idea too, if there really is something to ouija boards other than tricks of the mind we should do one simultaneously, ask it things about each party that would be impossible to know from a couple of forum posts and have a third party verify and control it all.

ATS paranormal experiments ahoy!
