Ouija boards are REAL, I wish I didn't know first hand but I do


The movie had a pretty good premise, but could have been much better imo. But I'm here to comment on ouija boards. After reading a lot of the comments here I just wanted to add my two cents on the fact that it's definitely NOT a game, and truly should never have been marketed as one. I wont tell my entire story cause it would take over an hour or more to type but I'll give a brief description on why I know for a fact that those boards are not to be messed with. I am sure people will judge and say I am a crazy person or whatever the attack might be, but i am almost 40 years old now, college educated, etc.
Back when I was a freshman in college was the first time i ever used a Ouija board, and i regret it till this day. It was a bout a 3 weeks before Halloween and me and a couple buddies were in my dorm room and the movie Ouija board came on, i think that's the name, it was an 80's movie where this hot chick gets possessed by using the board and at the end its flying in the air and they shoot it with a gun or something, found it funny and kinda entertaining... anyway it prompted me and my buddies to go and buy one thinking it would be cool. Here's where i can go on and on and write a book, but what I can tell you is it was literally like a movie. After me and my best friend had been using it for a few days it began to get faster and stronger, hard to explain. I know for a fact i wasnt moving it, and if you knew my friend, the most honest kindest dude ever, he swore up and down he wasnt moving it. But after like a week or so it was moving so fast we had friends in the room with us actually writing down on a piece of paper the letters as it was spelling the stuff out just to keep up and tell what it was saying. At one point it actually told me where in my school library I could find a book on how to do a seance,and what do you know it was actually in the row and isle it said, mind you I never even used the library... It wanted us to do the seance on halloween night, and that story is scary as *beep* and would take too long to explain all that happened. What i will say is what did happen scared me and my friends enough to the point that we agreed to burn the board after what went down during the seance. I tried to burn the board, but it wouldn't burn!!!. Like lighter fluid, etc, etc..I swear. So eventually,I cut it into a million pieces and threw it into the woods behind a house party we were at for halloween. When we got back to the dorm maybe the scariest moment of my life, the board in perfect condition was in our door room on my bed with the prayer written in what looked like blood on the back of the board..... Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to take, etc.... It was pissed because we bailed on the seance and other stuff.
I kept trying to find a rational explanation how this *beep* board was in my room after I had just torn it apart a few hours prior. A friend pranking me I was praying was the case?? But like I said no one could access my room, and the only people who knew what was going on didn't leave the party, they were all there with me until the end, and the house was like 20 minutes off campus. I remember being so scared, scared to the point I literally didn't want to be in my dorm room, I slept in others people rooms for days following, and the weirdest part of all was the following..... Keep in mind this was in Altoona Pa, COLD at Halloween time, and after that happened the following day I kept noticing a fly wherever i went. I wasn't crazy like i was in the cafeteria and there was a fly, and other people saw it, so it wasn't me imagining it. There were no flies around during this time of year. This fly thing went on for days until I decided I had to get out of there and went back home to Philadelphia for a few weeks before returning to campus. That was about 20 years ago. There was a name of this EVIL spirit, I refuse to mention its name because to this day there are many weird and unexplained things that happen, and it always leads back to this one spirits name. This post was already way too, but believe me I left out about 98% of what happened. All Im saying is there were too many things that this spirit told me that were true, and I saw things happen with my own 2 eyes. I will say this however, I have never actually seen a ghost or anything like that, but to this day I still feel as if this thing is always around me. Its hard for a non believer to understand, but Ill try and give weird examples that may or may not mean anything to you, but to me I just know somethings off. Every dog, and even cat, but I rarely am around any cats, I encounter starts barking immediately whenever I come close. Even though I can watch 5 other people walk by a dogs yard, and the dog wont bark, or a dog in a car wont bark at others walking by, but I get even slightly near and ALL dogs start barking like crazy. It freaks me out. And the weirdest thing I have noticed over the last 10 years or so is everything is always 666. Like my phone battery if i ever glance at it will be at 66%, not 65, or 67 but 66%. Same with any electronic device, laptop, computer, always tend to look at it when its at 66%. My space heater in my living room always says 66 degrees, and I always wake up at 3:33am. Not always but like every other night or so. Now while none of this has anything to do with what i experienced with the board, I believe it is this spirit that I allowed or maybe was always there but I didn't know it until we used that board, but anyway this is probably coming off as a ridiculously long ramble. Bottom line, I'm a sane rational person, but I know for a fact that those boards should never be made or used, and evil does and will come out of them if used. I have not owned or touched one in about 19 years, and to this day I am still affected by the spirit again I wont say its name, but its 3 letters.

And you're obviously stupid for doing so.

Only Dean Briss would be so backwards to think that reading = stupid.

Reading makes him stupid?

I rarely comment on imdb and was offended when I see first comment is from an ass. But then I see your a troll and enjoy starting arguments. Get a life man. Oh yeah and maybe you should read. If a 2 minute read is way too mch for you to handle I highly question your intelligence.

reply

It's just who wants to spend "two minutes" reading what your loser self has to say. Keep it to a minimum dummy.

Yay the Monkeya$$ responded.

reply

I mean, considering how old you are, two minutes is borrowed time for you. And, what would take the rest of us 2 minutes to read would be a couple week commitment for you, so I get it.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand - how's your daddy's pawn shop?

reply

Quite obviously reading is too difficult for you, which is typical for this era of the 'self entitled, I'M the center of the universe, I refuse to take responsibility for my own actions because MY @$$hole actions are NEVER my own fault' narcissistic jerks. Just the simple fact that you call people a "dummy" and your tacky, childish user name shows what an immature child you are. You're just not worth it.

reply

I'll be honest, man - I read it, and I'm not buying any of it. Ouija boards are mass produced by toy companies. I'm not saying that the supernatural isn't possible, but just that there's no way that a game produced on an assembly line and sold at Walmart was torn up and then magically appeared again unscathed. Either they were messing with you, you were under the influence, you're lying, or you just remember incorrectly...

If spirits are out there, they aren't wasting their time on stuff like this.

reply

I respect the fact you don't believe it. Even most of my best friends don't believe it. But I swear on everything it all happened exactly as I said. And even if some how some way someone was able to get into my room and put a new board in there it still didn't explain all the other *beep* I saw happen. I'm not one of these people who like fighting on the Internet obviously like that precious sweetie guy. So again you're free to not believe but that *beep* scared the life out of me and really impacted my life. No fake *beep*

reply

If you believe so strongly in the power of a Ouija board, aren't you afraid that there could be serious consequences for you coming on here and telling people about it? I mean, if a board can magically reform itself and can tell you where a particular book in the library is, then it's not unthinkable to believe that it's watching this right now.

reply

Like I said I do believe this spirit if you wanna say kinda haunts me. Like the dogs always barking and stuff. I've always just tried to brush it off. I don't 100% believe it cause if I did I'd be scared every second of my life. But me writing my story doesn't scare me to do. I've told the story to many friends over the years. The one thing I won't do is have a ouija board in my home. Again it's natural to not believe. If I wouldn't have experienced all that crap back then I'd never believe in evil and spirits cause like I said I never have actully seen a ghost. But I saw *beep* besides just the ouija bored reappearing after I tore it up, that just dnt be explained. I'm not lying. Why would I? But again I don't wanna start an argument over it. Either you believe or you don't. Doesn't really matter. It is what it is.

reply

Again, though, the problem is that Ouija boards are mass produced in an assembly line and then sold at all major retail stores. They aren't touched by a mystical being.

I'm not lying. Why would I?

Because. This is the internet.

reply

The ouija board itself is not "evil". It's just one way for communication.I believe it really depends on where you are and if there are actual spirits, demons whatever you wanna call them. Let me ask you this. Forget ouija boards for a second. Do you believe in evil? Any spiritual belief at all?

reply

I believe that it's possible, but I've never seen any evidence of it. I'm certainly open to it. I just don't think that this is an instance where it could have happened the way that you're saying.

reply

Ok so then basically your calling me a liar. But i cant hate on you cause like I said ive told many of my friends the same story but with a lot more details and most didn't believe at first but because they know me and the type of person I am they were all freaked out by it. Cause I'm not the type of person that is gonna make this kinda crap up. I'll leave you with this cause i think were done and I don't wanna keep going back and forth. I honest to god wish it never had happened and I never came in contact with the spirit.

reply

I'm not saying that it has to be a lie. But, sometimes, we get inside our own heads when we think we see certain things. I believe that YOU believe it to be true. But, I just don't believe that it's true. Nothing personal, but, like I said, a Ouija board is just a mass-produced toy that has no actual supernatural contact. It's no more than saying a stuffed devil bought at the Hallmark store can be evil.

Let me put it this way - why would the spirits bother reforming that Ouija board that you tore up? At best, it would just be a parlor trick. But, what was the end game on them doing that?

And, we aren't done here until I say we're done...

This sounds like a lie, honestly. The blood writing, everything - it sounds like what you would actually find in a cheesy movie and expect to happen (or what you'd make up).

40 years old? "Hot chick?" "Kindest dude?" Double question marks??
Really?

And you find the board with blood writing on it, yet your primary concern is how it ended up in your room?

Let's hear that 98% that happened, because I'm not buying it.

reply

Problem I have is most of the stuff you mentioned that was freaky could have been staged by one of your college buddies, the stuff about the fly following you is probably coincidence and you're always seeing the numbers 666 because subconsciously you want to it's like every time I set my alarm I wake up 5 minutes before it goes off because my subconscious is aware of it and we are all wired to circadian rhythm,

while I think there's more to this world than meets the eye I think if you want something to be real your mind will make it real but just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.

reply

It is drifting into wall of text territory and could use with some spaces to enhance readability. Not sure if that was just the user or if IMDB commenting platform formats to remove spaces. Either way it's not too bad, I just copied the whole think into a word doc and spaced appropriately there, all of about oah 10 seconds worth of work.

Well, I believe you...to an extent. I've owned my Ouija board since 1974, it's a Parker Brother's 1972 edition. I've used it several times and have had strange and unusual occurences...although, I've always been rather eccentric so the strange and unusual comes as no surprise to me. I've seen a few ghosts and have encountered unseen spirits from time to time. I've also felt evil so I understand where you're coming from.

I'm in my late 50's and have had the ability of channeling spirits on my own for quite some time now. And although my senses are not as strong as they could be, I am somewhat of a clairvoyent, more clairsentience, my Ouija board does heighten them.

I haven't used my board for awhile now but I DO still have it. It sits face down in one room while the planchette sits in another room. I've always used my board carefully because, as with countless others, I, too, believe this mystifying board game is NOT a game! Use it carefully and preferably with experience. Anyone who uses one for fun should NOT expect a fun ride!

Joelinboca88, have you ever seen a psychic to try to find out what is haunting (or whatever verb you want to use here) you? There's plenty of people that can read other's energy/aura/whatever you want to call it, so surely there must be something hanging over you that can be seen by someone with that gift, don't you think?
I realize not everyone will believe what you're saying, and I'm just playing devil's advocare here because it really is an interesting story, and like you, I've had bad experiences with the Ouija myself, enough to not ever want one in my home as well.

reply

Nicole, honestly I have contemplated that many times over the years, but it scares the he'll out of me. I fear what they'll see or tell me. It's like I'd ratherblive in denial just hoping it's not true. But at the same time I'm sure it is. Hard to explain but it scares me just if I had real confirmation of it....... Then what you know?

reply

I don't and will never believe in Ghosts.

While I don't personally believe in what you have wrote here if you honestly believe that some sort of spirit is haunting you then why not go visit a spiritualist church where at least you might find people who believe in the same sort of thing that you do and maybe able to give you some closure?

G'Day Mate I totally agree with everything you wrote and I can add extra 1000 details about my(our) experiences.I'm not self-delusional, psychotic or drug addict and certainly not a liar. Ä°n 1992, Ä°n Surfers Paradise-Australia we,3 very young, very stupid univ.kids decided to get into the seances with our home-made ouija board and encountered so many terrifying events that I can't even begin to describe here !! The visions, noises, writings and all the paranormal activities that are depicted in the movies and more have been experienced by us and today I still see strange stuff occasionally...As you said, I can write a book about those but believe me that negative energy never entirely disappeared and my life never been peaceful again. To those who even slightly believe me: Do not engage in paranormal activities- ever- Cheers.

Kaanayas, would you mind going into a bit more detail regarding your experiences. Doesn't need to be a book, but give some examples of what you've experienced.

reply

Paragraphs.

They can really make your writing more impactful and interesting to read. Lunacy is no excuse for bad writing.

Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.

I'm a sane rational person


Coming from the guy who thinks a phone battery life percentage of 66% symbolizes an evil presence, I'd have to vehemently disagree with that statement.

Also, why is it that all these attention whores with these idiotic stories are incapable of paragraphing their giant walls of text? Is there a correlation between a lack of literacy skills and psychotic "ghost" stories?

We should make a graph that outlines the correlation between intelligence and the belief in the supernatural.
