Ouija Boards

Best used at a cemetery between 11:50pm to 12:10am.

DON'T DO IT.

Fun party game, like an 8-ball.

OP is taking Barbara Walters' death rather hard. Her body didn't even go cold yet, and he's trying to bring her back.

Absolutely!

And follow the results precisely!

I did a paper on them for my high school psychology class. The Ouija board is just a variation on the 19th century spiritualist techniques of automatic writing. Unless one or more of the players are consciously pushing the planchette around, it’s just small movements caused by your autonomic nervous systems. FYI Gertrude Stein did a project on automatic writing for a psych class at Johns Hopkins, which would later provoke snide jokes about that being the secret behind her modernist technique.

I prefer Nonnein boards. They tell you what NOT to do. Safer stuff, really.

Watch the movie Ouija first.

.....

What R6 said. It started as a party game based on the spiritualism fad of the 1800s, when people held seances to contact their dearly departed. It was only after the release of “The Exorcist” that they got the reputation for summoning demons. I create custom spirit boards and sell them on Etsy (working on one today, as a matter of fact) and they’ve never had an effect on mueutlbgufututdydhxcfdydgohotitruffjvj

This speaks for itself:

We lost r10

hcduryreuttudhxxhsysd!

Did R10 have a seizure or is he speaking in tongues at the end?

When I asked Ouija who my true love would be, it said: OCLYDCS

Streisand went to a spiritualist in 1981, when she was preparing for her movie 'Yentl'. According to Streisand, the Manhattan spiritualist (whom she found via her brother Sheldon) was able to contact her dead father (of 38 years) through an Ouija board. Upon making contact, the father spelled out a message to his daughter : SING PROUD, to which Barbra understood him saying that he was proud of her singing.

That (supposedly) is when she agreed with the studio that her movie had to have her singing in it - but it would be on her terms: a film with music, not a musical. (Before this message from her father, Streisand was fighting the studio saying she didn't want any singing in the movie and take away from the drama).

So if you go ahead with your plans to engage in an Ouija board, you just might conjure up Streisand's long dead father. After all, he's been rather quiet for over 40 years now.

Wasn’t Ouija George Jefferson’s wife on the tv show?

Say hello to Capt Howdy for us :)

Can I have your stuff OP?

Everything but the ouija board, that is.

redrum

Voices, visions some go in trance

Holy Ghost talks to His fans

I really don't want no more fighting

What I want is automatic righting

Why not do an actual séance complete with eco plasm instead, OP?

If you are a spiritual person, or someone who at least believes in the existence of positive and negative forces, you will avoid the ouija baord. They are dangerous. But something tells me OP is trolling anyway, like many of the these responses are.

I’m not trolling. I would sincerely like to contact the dead but not sure the ouija board would work.if you can recommend other methods I’m interested

There are several methods but trying to contact the dead on your own is seriously dangerous. A medium would be a better bet. Just out of curiosity, is your house haunted or is this for personal reasons?

Wrapping aluminum foil around the edges helps it work better, OP.

Wearing a tin hat helps too.

There is no way of contacting the dead without exposing yourself to negative forces as r25 said. It's extremely dangerous - I cannot emphasize this enough. Even with a medium the process involves opening a portal through which other things can and often do come through.

A psychic would be your best (safest) option but good luck finding a legit one, or being able to ascertain who is. Most are charlatans who know how to con people and they'll string you along.

The realm of the dead is unknowable and meant to stay that way.

Actually, that’s not true. Ever hear of Propofol?

[quote]We lost [R10]

I got this.

R12 I’m here -I just had a small dizzy spell, but I’m fine, except for having strange memories about being a brash apartment building super who frequently visited a single mom and her two teenage daughters during my shift. The mother’s smile haunts me. Weird!

If you get in touch with your favorite long-dead porn star, that won't be ectoplasm...

Ectojism?

Ectoplasm.

Careful - things didn't go well for Gladys Kravitz when she thought she had powers to reach her dead Uncle Albert on 'Bewitched' !

Thanks never went well for Gladys Kravitz. That poor woman was driven crazy by her neighbors.

The guileless and very stupid have disposable income to spend too!

Thus, the reason one can always purchase a Ouija board!

R28 how do you know all this?

Superstitious... this spell is for you. The mecurial flow is channeled to the circadian rhythms of the earth aand the flow of the collective consciousness; it's dissolving the boundaries of the dreamtime... where rests a demon tied to a chair in your brain, struggling to free itself. The only way to prevent this from being unleashed upon the world and inviting parasitic shadows from tainted parts of your mind, body and soul is to anoint your husband or nearest adult male relative, a roommate may work in a pinch, in myrrh, frankincense, spikenard and rosewater and for him to present hole to another man and take in a strong enough masculine force to combat this creature... the colliding energies will drive it back into bondage. Worry not for this action is not a sin of homosexuality but rather akin to taking in the body of christ or whomever you so believe and becoming one with their spirit, with this living flesh golem serving as a vessel.

You forgot the lube, R40 .

Aren’t there any living people you can call or text OP?

[quote] There are several methods but trying to contact the dead on your own is seriously dangerous.

Not just dangerous, but expensive. I called some dead people last month and was shocked when I saw my phone bill. Verizon charges a huge service fee for placing calls to people beyond the grave. I imagine the other carriers do too.

A ouija board will open a portal from another dimension. And you're not going to like what will decide to come through.

r44 There be plenty of root workers around, condition oils and mojo bags, the DL is a crossroads... so, raging over a thread, rubbing one out, having a laugh... these are enough to drive most bad spirits away. no enochian keys required.

[quote]A ouija board will open a portal from another dimension. And you're not going to like what will decide to come through.

R44 What exactly comes through the portal of a board game made by Hasbro — 4Chan trolls from the astral plane?

DL is a Ouija Board. Many who post here are already dead.

r47 another unnecessary fear.

Besides if HasBro is going to lead to anything it would be cat memes.

Two real problems with contacting the dead. First, if they're really dead, they're not talking. Second, if there's an afterlife, apparently it's go great anybody here is totally getting I don't know her.

[quote]if there's an afterlife, apparently it's go great anybody here is totally getting I don't know her.

I would really love to know what that means.

Typo. I mean it's supposed to be great over there so why would they want to talk to us?

Logically, I know they don't really work.

However, when I was a kid, we used to have a great time with one. We'd scare ourselves shitless. Find the creepiest place with no distractions or outside noises. Do it late at night. Also, add a bunch of the other usual scary stuff like the "bloody Mary" chant in the mirror before using it.

You will be convinced it works by the time you're done.

People who believe ouija boards are some spiritual tool are ridiculous. The same types who give money to psychics and believe in heaven and hell. They are like gullible children.

54 posts and no mention of THE definitive ouija board movie????

My other is a no nonsense kind of woman, doesn’t show any interest in the occult at all, when I was a teenage I said I did a quija board with my friends and she got very angry and told me I don’t want to get involved with them as you dont know who you’ll connect with. It frightened me and I never did again.

Played around with them as a kid. It's a game. It doesn't open portals and it doesn't speak to the dead or demons.

R57 ok cool, thread closed, expert has spoken.

Why R59? How childish. Someone says a oija board is a game and you throw a tantrum?

Shades of Poo.

FF R60

And we call out and summon the demons of pancreatic cancer to show mercy on this person as the disease ravages their body 🔮

I pulled my board out last night and was able to channel Barbara Walters. Her message was :

"Take a wittle time and enjoy The Wiew"

FF R59/61 for being a sheer nasty cunt.

No ouija, no peace!

I tried the Ouija a couple times as a kid and nothing of note happened. Nothing scary, nothing memorable. When I was 30, me and a new bf got drunk and tried it the Ouija.

I got ahold of my brother who has died in a motorcycle accident and my dad who had died 3 years prior. I asked my brother the names of the street of where his accident happened to prove it was really him and the board spelled out the names correctly. Later, I asked my "brother" who to call to get some help, as something had recently come up related to house I was living in. The board spelled PUBLIK DEFENDER. Later, I was actually able to get help from the recommendation from the board!

I don't know how the planchette move to give the correct answers but it did. Overall, it was a good experience

R65 I think your bf was moving the planchette.

On the bottom of the most popular Ouija board is printed 'Parker Brothers'.

Reminds me of a skit on the Carol Burnett show where the family is playing monopoly and mama (Vicki Lawrence) gets one of the boards cards. She reads it out loud. Something like, 'Advance to Illinois Avenue. If you pass Go, collect $200...then she reads 'Parker Brothers 1936' 'What in the hell does that mean?!'

I always found it hard to think I was getting in touch with the other world via 'Parker Brothers'.

nobody thought you were a top, baby.

[quote] I think your bf was moving the planchette.

I would think so too, but he couldn't have known the street names because he didn't even know I had a dead brother until then.

I thought in order to summon demons you had to paint your nails black, study the Lesser Key of Solomon, and then be initiated by a lodge of Magick practitioners who put you through a series of challenging training rituals that can take years to complete. But all you actually need to do is order a $20 Ouija board on Amazon and invite a couple of drunk friends over? Hell, yes!

Please remember, it's a WEE-juh board, not WEE-gee.

Okay, Captain Howdy, @R71.

Witchboard establishes the pronunciation nicely.

It’s a wee-gee board, bitches!

R68 is a pervert

It doesn't work OP. I wish it did, but it doesn't.

So many questions unanswered.

In fifth grade, I brought my ouija board to school. The teacher about had a cow and confiscated it. She made sure I took it home that night. Guess she was afraid other kids' parents might hear about it.
