Anyone here played with the Ouija? I was always too scared as a kid to do it. Now I am too skeptical/lazy to give it a shot.

I did when I was a kid. The devil never wanted to talk to me. But I had a friend who received all sorts of promptings.Originally posted by BlueHair View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos. -
Ouija boards always seemed scary to me as a kid, too. I am totally skeptical of them and pretty much think they are B.S. But I also really believe that things like that that ARE just B.S. can still be an open invitation for evil.

You know how President Hinckley said he doesn't worry about those who pray? The same can be said for men who are self-aware enough to know when there's a life to be lived outside of the world of video games. - AnonymousComment

We had one as kids. If I recall correctly, they were made by Parker Bros, the same company that brought us games like Sorry! and Monopoly. Hence, not scary. In fact, very boring.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I did. My buddy bought the Parker Bros. version from KB Toys in the mall. It doesn't get any more evil than that!Originally posted by BlueHair View Post
Anyway, when we were goofing around with it, I know I wasn't moving the little thing, and he swore he wasn't either. We made "contact" with some guy named "Rex" who had driven his pickup truck into a ditch and died. I remember thinking that if my buddy was making this all up, he was pretty clever, but he never really struck me as clever.
It's crazy that I can remember the details from that 18 years later.Comment

I seem to be detecting people making fun of me? Am I just being paranoid?
Okay I am not some beware of ghosts freak, but really, how many of you would honestly seriously buy a Ouija board to have in your home and let your kids play with it like any other board game? I think the whole idea is totally messed up.I am a philosophical Goldilocks, always looking for something neither too big nor too small, neither too hot nor too cold, something jussssst right.

It is no worse than Santa Claus. Scaring yourself into a Ouija fueled bout of insomnia is an adolescent right of passage. I'd pay fifteen bucks to provide that for my kid/s.Originally posted by Gidget View PostComment

Neither were in our house growing up. Belief in Santa Claus or the existence of a Ouija board. My parents disagreed with both concepts I guess.

No, but I remember playing "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" with my babysitters. Anyone else remember that game?Originally posted by BlueHair View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Yes. There are several versions of this. My friends did the creepy version where one person plays dead. Then someone gives a eulogy and gives specific details how the person died. The rest of the group says their goodbyes. Everyone places a finger under the person, closes their eyes, and chants light as a feather, stiff as a board. Within a few minutes, the person levitates. He claims it worked.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post

Once when I was ten, I was staying at my friend's house. She and I went downstairs and found that her sister had set up an Ouija board with a bunch of candles and incense. The sister was away at the moment and my friend wanted to play with it.
I'm not superstitious, but I do believe in spirits and I also know that I didn't feel good about playing with it, for whatever reason. I insisted we go back upstairs, though I know the friend thought I was being a square.
So are Ouija boards inherently evil? I'm not sure. I think that seemingly innocuous can be used as a conduit to evil, and if that is what one is seeking, it is not outside the realm of possibility that an Ouija board could cause bad nastiness..."You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment

I still play that game several times a month. It is very frustrating, frankly, but my wife is really patient.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Wait a minute. As I recall you have to spell out each word letter by letter. Are you saying that your friend spelled out the whole story about rex and his pick up? Or was he inspired to ask leading questions like "Is your name Rex?" or "Did you drive your pick up into the ditch and die out on old man smith's farm?" or some such? If the former, you had a lot of patience and it was likely the devil. If the latter, well, you know.Originally posted by Teenage Dirtbag View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
