Of all the stories and reports related to supernatural or paranormal phenomena, the largest number by far originate during use/play of Ouija Boards/spirit game. Talking boards in various forms have been used for thousands of years in attempts to contact spirit entities. During World War II, this craze went through the roof as people attempted to communicate with lost friends and relatives. Virtually everyone has a personal story about something eerie (and often frightening) happening while in the process of playing, which suggests that this is something a little more complicated than a store-bought board game for entertainment, and that it may even be dangerous when used incorrectly.
"Ouija Board" is owned by Parker Brothers. Parker is not the only one who markets talking boards, however, and indeed, a workable rendition of this interesting medium can be made at home using ordinary materials. This brings us to the darker side of talking boards. Many noted mediums, including Edgar Cayce, have strongly warned against their use, relating that they receive thousands of letters and communications from hapless people who have apparently become possessed, or have unleashed an unstoppable stream of paranormal occurrences in their surroundings due to board usage.
In 1944, Manly P. Hall, a noted occultist, wrote this chilling portrayal of his experiences with Ouija Board/Spirit game usage:
"During the last 20-25 years I have had considerable personal experience with persons who have complicated their lives through dabbling with the Ouija board/Spirit game. Out of every hundred such cases, at least 95 are worse off for the experience. . . .I know of broken homes, estranged families, and even suicides that can be traced directly to this source..."
Obviously, many have used Ouija boards/Spirit game without serious ill effects, but the real problem is that once you pick up that board and start trying to conjure up spirits, the outcome becomes very uncertain. Ouija boards/Spirit games are a form of Channeling, and factors that may have an impact on individuals include mental stability, ingrained belief systems, strength of personality, etc. Because we do not know what is actually taking possession of that planchette, or how this process really works, we could be opening doorways for the bad entities as well as the good. For instance, if we pick up a Ouija Board/Spirit game and try to contact Elvis, and we really believe that we are talking to Elvis, we will be much more vulnerable to manipulation and possibly even possession by the entity who has come through that opened doorway - who is very likely not Elvis at all.
As suggested in the Parker Brother's brochure, the mainstream theory regarding use of Ouija boards is that it is the subconscious of one or more of the participants making the planchette move. This is likely often the case - but not always. We suggest you to be very careful since the consequences were severe when the game was played in a wrong way. Several tests done by competent researchers have revealed that the planchette moved to spell out words at very high speeds in some sessions during which the participants were blindfolded. Other indications that it may be something more include many reports of physical changes in the vicinity of the Ouija board/Spirit game usage, such as objects moving, lights flashing, sudden temperature changes, and even the planchette moving by itself.
Although nobody really knows for sure what happens during Ouija Board/Spirit game usage, what seems clear is that when used by stable individuals for the right reasons, Ouija Boards/Spirit game are probably the best medium that exists for making contact with supernatural presences. Many of leading mediums and psychics started their careers using this very technique.
