Ouija Boards.. are they really cursed?

[LJRoX]

I've been wondering now. They're just simple, plastic boards created to play a similar game, but how was it cursed? I don't know. Earlier in the 1900s, there were reports that said that Ouija boards were cursed, saying it was controlled by a spirit.

How exactly was it controlled? No one knows. People say the spirit, or it's just your imagination. I'm yearning to know what this board really means.
The creator of this board, was he demonic? Did he fall on the subject of cruelty? Witchcraft? Occult? I don't know.

Ouija (WE-ja) is simply named by 2 languages - French and German. "Oui" for yes, and "ja" for yes. The word "ja" is means "bye" in Japanese (Ja ne)

If you don't know what a Ouija board is, it's a board mainly where people ask questions and the board gives them an answer. The board consists of 26 alphabetical letters and 10 numerical letters, a Hello, a Goodbye, and optionally things like "Please ask in 7 days" or "I'm not sure what you mean"
Example-
Where are you right now?
-S, T, A, N, D, I, N, G



This freaks me out as I write this topic, for I'm home alone and I don't want anything happening.

I heard stories about this board, like it's freaky.

Discuss this if you would like to know.

Ouija boards are crap.

The only time you get legitimate responses is when you are blindfolded and have an onlooker who IS NOT USING THE BOARD record what letters happen. If you are not blindfolded, then your muscle movements will subconsciously point you to creepy answers because that's what you want to happen.

If you are blindfolded, typical answers will be "HAXLDLJGPLASSD" and "OYANKSZKGoodbyeAKNZ".

Not really. 2 weeks ago, my friend used a Ouija board and she was blind folded, but she had like 3 or 4 friends over. So she asked a question and gave her a legitimate answer like "Killedme"

Of course they arn't cursed...there are no spirits, curses, witches, ect.

The ideomotor effect is probably responsible for this. Any skeptic that uses the board will be extremely unimpressed by this nonsense.

[dontcareaboutmyid]

so you admit it to be nonsense then?

Most catholics and christians believe this to be cursed.
I'm not a catholic christian but a Christian.

OH GOD LETTERS ON A BOARD OF WOOD RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

What do you mean, "cursed"? You mean haunted by spirits? You mean like the entire point behind them?

Still, it's a load of garbage. It doesn't work.

[beatmouse]

The way Ouija boards work, is like a minor version of hypnosis. Your subconscious makes your hands push the pointer towards what your brain thinks of the question. (That is if you aren't just moving it around on purpose and lying, which is what most people do)
Either way I don't and won't believe in all that **** until I experience something paranormal firsthand

[nforcer06164]

Yes, it is cursed. The company that makes the Ouija board has several witches and druids on hand to curse the board before you waste $20 bucks believing in such crap.

No, no they don't. Not at all. In fact, it's very much a bad thing for Catholics to believe that demons are haunting games. Where the hell did you get that idea?

And no, they're not cursed by any stretch of the imagination. People get "legitimate" responses only because they want to get responses. They're moving the deal regardless of how much they're trying to suppress their own movements.

They're basically sold at toy stores like at Toys "R" Us and KB TOYS by Parker brothers.

I don't see why such stores would sell something "haunted" for 20 dollars.

Despite what Hasbro the game company says, Ouija Boards are not games, they are objects of the occult even William Fuld knew this, he was the manufaturer who made them a household name.

I realize that most people, including myself up until a few years ago, don't really believe in stories of the occult, such as demons and the devil, and hauntings and basically the paranormal in general.

I can attest, however, much to my chagrin, that evil spirits known as demons exsist. This should not be surprising really since the New Testament mentions them frequently as evil or unclean spirits, devils, and demons.

Since my very negative experience with a Ouija Board, I have done a lot of research on this matter and I believe that everytime anyone gets anything from a Ouija Board it is from one of these demons or evil spirits and not from a deceased human's soul or a Heavenly angel.

Don't be fooled by the skeptics who say it's okay to use them because demons don't exist. Don't listen to these New Age practitioners who blame the users of Ouija Boards for bad experiences, saying that they get what they are looking for or that you didn't use it safely! These people are occultists they revere these demons as gods. Do not get involved in any aspect of the occult! It is bad for you, wrong and sinful!

Hasbro says that Ouija boards are NOT games.

In the directions it says one person is supposed to move it and not tell the other people. I remember when I was about 8 and me and my grandma were ticked off.

[Tokzic]

Wow.

That Geocities site is a joke.

[TS_SonicMaster]

I don't think the boards are cursed. Curses do not exsist.
My friend thinks they are since she used one once and she got a response about someone in her family will die soon then a few days later, her grandma dies of a heart attack.

Many Christians hold the belief that using a Ouija board allows communication with demons, which they say is Biblically forbidden as a form of divination. Some people who claim to have been oppressed by evil spirits after using a board say that they could only get rid of these problems after Christian deliverance. Many Christians believe that no dead person's soul can be summoned, and that the only summoned spirits are demons who are trying to harm humans.

From wikipedia.

You know what I mean.

[Squeek]

Then again, if you follow the Bible long enough, you find out that men can and should have multiple wives, beat / kill their children if they speak out of line, and never work on Sunday or be stoned to death.

Christians who think anything regarding "divination" as satan worship are idiots. And believe me, Ouija boards are the most basic of all forms of divination and the most flawed.

Im christian and I don't think it's cursed. It's just a ****ty piece of plastic.
Most of the people I know think it's bull**** too anyways.

[Tokzic]

Wait.

What the hell's all this about demons and Christianity.

The idea is you say "HEY SPIRITS COME CONTROL MY HANDS SO YOU CAN ANSWER MY POINTLESS QUESTIONS".

It has nothing to do with curses or religion (except for the believing in ghosts bit) whatsoever.

Hey, don't get out of control here. I never said it was cursed, I only asked.
