I'm now unsure whether to share
the occurrence in Pere LaChaise,
where Jim Morrison is supposedly buried
(a little French cat is involved )

or

to share the happening in the veterinarian's office in 2007 June.
( cats were involved again.)

I'm thinking...

MACATTAK, You're an angel.

Thank *you,* NicksWifey, for opening this thread. I feel you have a few people thinking....Maybe some people are entertained, others slightly uneasy, & others genuinely interested.
Apparently, other people have had similar experiences!
I find it lovely to be able to find a thread like yours in the midst of the stresses of the physical world.

I'll share my mom's story that convinced her to never play it again and what turned her mom (my grandma) into a born again Christian. My mom was 14 when she played it, so sometime in the early 1970s, her mom bought it for her at a yard sale. She played it a few times over the summer with friends, but mostly always by herself. The house they lived in was creepy (to this day, it looks like the Amityville Horror house, with those creepy windows, just a smaller version) and weird things happened in there before the Ouija board came into the house. My mom has three brothers and grew up mostly around boys so she and her brothers and other friends would pretend to hold "seances" in the house. They were just dumb, innocent kids. My mom really got into the Ouija, said she asked it dumb questions about boys and school, that kind of thing. One night after playing it, she went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night, she said her room was ice cold and this was the middle of the summer, all of her windows were open. She said she tried to get up off the bed but was paralyzed. Then she said she started levitating off the bed and was slammed against the wall, hovering about four feet off of her bed. She said she tried to scream, but no sound came out. She said although the experience only lasted a minute or two, it felt like an hour. She said she dropped down, hit the floor and ran into one of her brother's rooms and told him what happened, he kept telling her she was ice cold.

Your mom has *quite* a story...I imagine the 70's as an interesting set of years...The early 70's arrived on the tails of the psychadelic late 60's, which I believe may have ~opened~ Doors, figuratively, as well as spiritually. So much political & social unrest occurred throughout the 60's...I wouldn't be surprised if a huge amount of Energy of all kinds was still Floating around...(maybe more so than in other decades, but who knows...this is conjecture, *only*...)

Isn't it odd how you can have a Dream which seems to last a Day, and it's only a few seconds long, in this physical realm?

~~No...I am *not* saying your mom's experience was a Dream...I'm only saying how odd Time is....how it can shorten & lengthen, depending upon a person's experience.

Maybe I"ve been watching too much Doctor Who.

My mom is not a liar by any means, it took her years to tell me that story and even to this day, she gets teary eyed talking about it. I hate to ask her because I know it upsets her, but after hearing stuff like that and other stories, I do believe in the Ouija.

Thanks for sharing with us. Hugs to you and your mom.

Something similar has happened to my Aunt twice already...not involving the Ouija board though. It happened to her once in the house my great Grandma died in and again about 15 years later in her own house. She didn't get thrown though, she just saw a black figure above her kind of holding her down and she couldn't breathe or talk, and she said it felt like forever.

The first time, her baby son was in the room and she heard him screaming & crying, and when she opened her eyes he was pointing at something and when she looked it was the figure.

I'm not really sure what it means, and she didn't want to talk much about it so we all just left it alone. But now that it happened again to her I think she is kind of worried but she won't admit to it.

When I was younger (elementary school), I was into witchcraft. It was strange, I remember whenever I went, crows would always end up following me. hahaha.... Sometimes I even talked to them. (weird huh?!)

After I out grew that stage, I became interested in voodoo and the ouija board. My voodoo phase only lasted a month because I started to creep myself out. hahahaha.... I was also into tarot cards and I really believed in that stuff...

I used to own an ouija board when I was younger but gave it to my friend because we always ended up playing at my friends house. Being that young though, we would always ask the board about boys and crushes.. hahaha...
I was so interested in the Ouija board but I haven't played in years. My Mom and Dad don't like it in the house. They say it's bad luck.

I remember this one time, my and my friend were playing and wanted to stop, when we said "goodbye" the board said "no" and wouldn't let us leave. I was freaked the eff out of my mind. hahaha.... so we played a little bit more and he (the spirit) answered so fast. it was the first time we've ever had our answers given like that (the glass was moving really fast across the board). after a few minutes, the spirit let himself leave.

I think if you believe in spirits, you'll experience something. Just always be cautious when you deal with them. Never deal with spirits with any ill intentions and try to always have someone around.

Would I do the Ouija board again? Sure, but I wouldn't have any one to play with and I'm a chicken. haha

Ok explain this ...

It was the evening of 9/11 -- around dusk. Went out to check my mail, as I had gotten home late. Got to the mailbox, and there's my neighbor John, waiving at me, I waved back ...

John's a NYC firefighter, he died on 9/11 ....

I really think that when I saw him, was the moment he passed away .. just a feeling, that's all.

Oh gosh...I did that Bloody Mary thing so much in school and was so heartbroken when it never happened lol...I kept hoping it would, but never did

I would be totally open to playing an Ouija board sometime...if I could find one that is lol

Well you don't talk to the "Holy Spirit" by using the Ouija board... you use prayer and worship... not to get "all biblical" but if you read the bible it says he (ie God/the holy spirit) inhabits the praises of his people" NOT OUIJA BOARDS... Like other forms of divination, these boards and ones like them hav been used in an attempt to contact the dead... (again taking from the bible) it says "the dead know NOTHING"(Ecclesiastes 9:4-10) so how can you contact people who aren't conscious hmmmm thats an easy answer... you can't. So the Devil creeps in and uses his demons to take advantage of our ignorance...

Playing with Ouija boards is like playing with forces you dont want to mess with... People are suckered into things like this because we want to have a hope and belief that there is something beyond this world... But there isnt... just sleep until Jesus comes again. These people who contact the dead and psychics just take advantage of our hopes of being in touch with our loved ones again take our money and feed us lies... If you read the bible and believe what it says take a look in the book and remember it also says "At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." [Matthew 24:11] and if you dont believe in God or the Bible... Ill be praying for you... (sorry for the sermon)

I'd be happy to see some proof of these "para-senses", but so far, scientific research has not supported the claims that some people have made regarding the supernatural. There are plenty of anecdotal stories, though, which are perhaps interesting to hear, but they don't budge my beliefs at all because an anecdote is not valid proof of a concept. Yep, but there's still a rational explanation, even if I don't know what that rational explanation might be. I'd rather say, "I don't know what happened" than say, "It was a ghost!", for example. There is still a defined set of principles, laid out by proven research, that deals with human perception. So far, nothing has proven anyone's ability to perceive the types of events that are associated with Ouija boards, i.e. contact with a dead person. While this may be true, that electricity, magnetism, flight, etc. may have been once considered supernatural, there were people - early scientists really - that refused to believe the cause of these phenomena was supernatural. These people ended up defining what these phenomena really are. And that's a *good* thing, right? Fair enough. Personally, I don't share your belief, and I don't believe the stories people tell when it comes to the supernatural. I believe that what they felt was real, but as for their explanations for what happened? If it's a supernatural explanation, I'm automatically skeptical. Just call me Agent Scully. Just to be clear though, I only posted because the OP asked for responses to (among other things) the question: "Does anyone believe in the Ouija board?" I figured I might be the only one saying, "Nope - and I don't believe in the supernatural".

Agreed 100% (phew, I thought I was the only one). Don't even get me started on after-life!

I am used to my family members and friends telling me I am out of tune with my soul.

I have just learned to agree with them: My para-senses vanished into purple pixie dust the moment I closed my first theoretical physics book.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to be scared of the Ouija board on a slow Friday night! Beats drunken Jenga anyday!

Ouija boards are probably a bad idea.

Why? because to want to use one, you would have to have some belief in the paranormal, and you could possiblly scare yourself with it.

I personally, after more years of life than I care to admit, have come to the conclusion there is no such thing as ghosts or god!


Enjoy Life...

Love and peace

I thank you for sharing your opinion, and for being kind ("sorry for the sermon") in stating your beliefs.

Your statements show your beliefs are very strong; you have a profound belief in the Bible... I feel I would be wrong to say you are wrong, as my opinion is subjective....all *opinions* are subjective. You have a right to your opinion, and all of us have a right to ours.

I do not own a Oujia board, & I'm afraid to use one, as this era of my Life is stressful enough, and I know I will *look* for things to make me feel better....or more stressed...I do not need that now.

Altho my beliefs may differ from yours, we both want the world to be a better place. Am I right?

Peace & Love xxxxCherylFaithxxxx

Big up to the aethiests in the house!

Ok I have a question, I'm not sure how much of this is true, but I've heard before from people I know and just stories in general that when people try to burn the Ouija board, it screams? I honestly have to say I don't believe in that but I was wondering if anyone on here knew anything about it?

Also, know that by starting this thread, my original intentions were not to get people "all riled up" and get offended over this. So far, I don't think this thread is heading in that direction, but I didn't post this thread to start trouble, just to ask other people's opinions. I'm religious myself, I do believe in God and worship him (I'm Catholic) but I also believe in the Ouija too.

I am the EXACT same. I'm 21 and recently confessed to my bf that I still will not enter a room with a mirror in the dark because of the bloody mary stuff. I will literally reach my hand in and turn the light on and THEN step into the room. Then, he laughed at me. It's just a silly habit bred from childhood fear that I haven't gotten over. Do I believe in the supernatural? Not really, but I'm not about to mess with that stuff just in case.

I did have one weird experience, not related to Ouija or anything. I was in my house with my family and two cousins and aunt and uncle and we were all just playing around etc. For some reason I looked over at a dresser we had in our living room and it had a homemade angel made out of two terra cotta pots. It wasn't on the edge of the dresser, it was set at about the middle of the dresser. All of a sudden it moved forward and fell off the dresser and broke. It was a little unnerving, although I think I just chalked it up to us jostling the floor and that's why it fell off.

I find discussions on spirituality very interesting ;-) good thread
