    Re: Are Ouija boards real?

    I remember my parents renting a cabin on a lake one summer weekend...they had a Ouija board in one of the closets of the cabin and I wouldn't stay in the damn place until my parents put it way outside somewhere.
    Those things scare the crap out of me, even today, but I am also afraid I'll see Jason in the woods at night so what do I know.

    We used to do this every weekend back in 8th grade, and I was almost positive they were real. I haven't done one since, but would like to see what it would say.

    They sure aren't fake. You can pick it up, and everything. It's very tangible.

    Although the "mystery" might be fake. But let me tell you, when my brother and I asked it what my grandma's middle name was, it told us correctly, even though neither of us knew. My dad was watching and he confirmed it. Also, when we asked who was controlling the board it said "Max," then my brother jumped away because my grandma's name is Maxine.

    Yes, they are real. You can buy them at Wal-Mart in the board games section. I've seen them!

    Yes, I freaked out my 8th grade friends with an ouija board. Now they're grown, and probably posting on some message board about how they had a "true life" ouija board experience.

    One time I asked my Ouija board if it was real. It said yes.

    while this is all good and fun to trick your friends. if i ever did have a truel life ouija experience i don't believe it because i have trouble trusting people with things like that.

    i think they are fun, and the thought of it is kinda scary.

    Yes. They can really work. I wouln't advise anyone to mess around with them. Consider this: would you invite a complete stranger into your home to hang out and stay for a while? That's what these things do. Any misguided soul out there can just pop in. Usually they are very confused, often malicious individuals. NOT a good idea to play with things like that. I wouldn't touch one of those things with a ten foot pole. Just MHO though.

    They're manufactored by Parker Brothers and sold at Toys Backwards-R Us! C'mon, people.... show me you've got more wits about you than a paranoid third-grader.

    But Mark, real Ouija boards aren't manufactured by Parker Bros. I have a really old one that is most certainly not. I won't touch it though.

    Their original intent wasn't to be a board game Mark. Parker Brothers just saw a cash cow in it, since they know a lot of people would buy it just to see if it was real or not.

    Besides that, it doesn't matter where it was made or how, it is the intent in which it is used. You can use a kitchen table or even the floor as an Ouija board.

    I knew that, Los.

    There's no difference--so what if one board was handcrafted out of fine woods and the other was pressed in a cardboard factory? It's still just a piece of wood product with some shapes painted onto it.

    Even the shapes themselves have on meaning unless we *give* them a meaning. That's the thing about letters, they're a human invention.

    Ouija boards only work if YOU ARE TOUCHING THEM. Your fingers have to be on the little indicator thingy. It doesn't move on its own while you look on.

    Trust me, if you touch a Ouija board wanting to freak yourself out, your mind and your hands will oblige. But it's not a ghost. It's you.

    Wood, guys. A tree. Birds do their business on it.

    Because I've never experienced anything to make me think differently. And I have used one. Once, with my ex-girlfriend and her best friend, we all 3 touched it and I started moving it subtly, and they were totally convinced it was real.

    It's wood. Wood and ink. There are lots of things that are wood and ink, and "spirits" don't try to use them.

    So it's not as "fun" to think they're real. I guess I'm just a stick in the mud. :
