I seem to have no 'hold' over the ouija board, played it for a giggle with friends at school on a makeshift board.

They were able to move the object across the board, but when I tried it, I got absolutely no response or movement from the 'spirit'...

Hi Luis. I do know what you mean. ...When I was doing it with just one other person, there wasn't any action. Other pairs could do it, but not with me. ...But one time when there were three of us at once, it got moving. ...I think part of me didn't want to see it work!

I don't really understand how asking is such a critical thing. Really, words can open a portal??

Part of the reason why I never mess with that stuff is wondering about that.

I just had the thought pop into my head, too: can a bad spirit make its energy seem good or neutral?

Well, just to explain about my comment above...

As I said, when my parents died, I felt them pass through me. Therefore, I believe in spirits, because that is what happened.

I understand that experience is not transferable, and I actually have no agenda to push, just stating where I am coming from.

I was just interested in hearing stories and perspectives on it.

Well, just to explain about my comment above...

The good spirits I mentioned were definitely my parents. Each of them unmistakably passed through me at the moment of their death and made their presence known at other times.

but how do you know for sure?

are there some kinds of ways to tell if something is a human spirit or not? or ways of identifying?

Also, just curious: what is it that makes the Ouija board so special--as in, that specific kind of board? Would a makeshift board do the same thing? Do boards have to be constructed in a specific way in order to work? And why?

You can make one out of anything really, ofc a flat surface is a must for usefulness

In case it needs to be said I don't just mean how most use it. We have "usual results" but what many don't seem to be getting is that there are "usual processes" at work as well. And many of the people who have negative experiences WANTED those experiences in the first place (that is they went in hoping to be scared or freaked but found once the roller coaster ride started they had to wait for it to be over before they could get off).

Using blessings, purification (using sacred techniques, including fasting), holy sites, places with all kinds of astral atmospheres (and for those really brave, places like Auschwitz), and places that range from where skeptics dominate to places like Pentecostal churches (maybe find out what's really possessing them ) might yield different results (when possible the experiments should be repeated, including with different people, for example, have 3 people, one of them with occult protections, go to 3 Pentecostals churches each).

Intent.

There's nothing on this earth that holds more power than that which we give it. Ouija boards, etc simply act to convince us of our own power. If we thought, really thought that a lampshade could and would be used to contact the spirit world, we could use it for that purpose.

First the lighthearted one: One summer session in college (before I knew better, and before I had opened up to the spirit world, or at the least realized I had), someone had a ouija board. A bunch of us got together in the one dorm room, lights out, flashlight to light up the floor where we all gathered. (No candles allowed). The session went like this:

"What the... that doesn't make any sense. It's spelling gibberish..."
"Are you moving it?"
"No. Are you?"
"....pfft yeah lol".
"I don't think this thing works."
"Turn on the lights man. Ok, what parties are going on tonight?"
No repercussions to speak of. Bunch of delinquents that didn't know any better.

===================

Now, the more serious one:

This particular ouija board I never used. It was never used in my house either. I remembered my dad mentioning it in the past, and I had remembered seeing it in my grandmother's house. I also remember my dad had said he had destroyed it. But today, I was thinking about a lot of the misfortune that had taken place with my family, and was also reading about people's experiences (interest piqued by this thread I might add)... Here's what I found out when I took him out of the house for dinner tonight, as I needed clarifications. (There's a reason I decided not to ask him here at home):

His parents had had that ouija board back when my dad and my uncle were at least teenagers, and would take it to parties apparently. I do not know if they always "closed" the sessions with the Goodbye indicator or what not. Dad also mentioned he and my uncle, as teenagers, tried it, but dad never remembered it working for them. I will also add that apparently my grandmother had mental issues, would wander off, etc. during my dad's childhood and teenager years. They eventually apparently stopped using it and it was stored somewhere, where exactly he didn't say.

Later on, after I was born, and when I was young, dad decided enough was enough to a point, and told grandma he was taking it home with us. He tells me Mom objected. He couldn't remember if it was before or after we had been burglarized... but if I suspect the timeframe correctly, it may have coincided with the time my mom's manic-depression worsened (with a few week stint for observation in a mental health wing of the local hospital, now razed). Our misfortunes continued, and eventually she passed away in 1989. The sense I have about Mom, in retrospect, is that she may have been open, without realizing it (she was a very strong believer in Christ as I remember), and may have picked up on something my dad didn't... to our detriment.

Sometime in the early 1990's, that's all dad can remember, and the fact he was deeper into end-time prophecy and the church at this time is relevant. (His being more into the religion aspect he recalls was the primary motivator for this)... he took the ouija board, some gasoline, and went to the trash pile where he burnt the thing. He doesn't remember screaming or black smoke (beyond the gasoline-fueled fire) or anything esoteric happening. But I suspect it was about this time period that he may have been about to be or just getting involved with the psycho ex-fiancee, and I remember the later high school years not being easy either... Also, during my college years, while he put me through college ("Made too much for student loans"), the bottom fell out of his business and all but forced him into the failed attempt at bankruptcy (the lawyer sat on the paperwork and didn't file, if I recall correctly).

And in my research today, I found several instances of accounts where all hell broke loose after other boards were burnt without proper cleansing or closing or other ceremonies or what-have-you. I have strong reason to believe that this has carried over, and if I am correct about this, ... he basically destroyed a doorway without properly closing the blasted thing.

It gets better: I have felt, at times, a feeling of dread going to the bathroom late at night (it faces the burn pile and the back woods, which have their own negative energy, to the point I hightailed it out of there the one and only time I went back there after my "opening up"...) ... essentially, I felt that there was a malevolent presence somewhere towards the back woods (there were a few times I actually waited for sunrise just to take a leak, the negative energy was that strong... even my guides were apprehensive. Not cool). It would also explain why, despite putting up a barrier around my property, things kept getting in.

It also does not help that a former next-door neighbor of mine, this kid who ultimately claimed to be the Son of Lucifer (and around the point he made the claim, I was picking up strange energy around him... before the claim I didn't know what to make of it, but after that point I distanced myself. It took years to finally shake him. I now believe he was a conduit for some... not very nice stuff.) He would actually go back to those same back woods frequently with his go-kart... and to get there,he had to drive through our yard (without dad's permission). ...right past the burn pile where the board had been burnt years before. Strangely enough, I don't think he and his family had moved in next door until after the board had been brought to our house, which raises more questions in my mind. I suspect he may have picked up on the energies of the (improperly?) destroyed board, and if there was any veracity to his claims, may have taken advantage.

And, if that weren't enough, who here has heard of the Hyperdimensional Resonator? Well, long story short, Dad had ordered one of those units from the Internet, and lo and behold, as I was questioning him about the board's history, I also felt compelled to ask if he ever activated this resonator outside. He did. And from what I've read, if this device is used in a negative energy area, it can open up to some serious nasty s***. And... he used it in the back yard. Not at the burn pile, but in my view, close enough. It was bad enough when he used it inside this house that there was massive amounts of chaotic energy, to the point he would try to sneak trying it, and I would pick up on it the moment I walked into the house. If my theory is right, this just exacerbated the problems.

While a lot of this thought is in retrospect, it makes the most sense of anything I've got to make sense of my past history. It may seem off the wall, but my senses tell me I'm not far off the mark.

And the best part is, I think some very negative entities have come through whatever gateway has been opened. I'm hesitant to name names of what's coming up upon reflection, for concern of needlessly giving power. But the one name is commonly known (the other two are similar to commonly known names). The other thing that comes to mind is the phrase "generational curse". I'm not sure how valid that is, but ... I had to put it out there.

- A thickening of the air... similar to psychic attacks from before, but not this close-range.
- I held out my hands, imagining a shield around myself. The walls of my room, normally peach-colored (I didn't pick the color) turned sickly yellow for several moments. I immediately uttered a request for assistance from the Creator, and in my mind's eye could see a column of white light descend over the house. I also visualized heavy armor and a shield upon myself as well.
- Walking out to the kitchen (cautiously), could hear my guides say not to look out the window towards the burn pile. I complied. However... in my mind's eye, I could see what appeared to be a dark violet, fiery or misty vortex, and definitely a being there. Malevolent, taunting me. The sense was, not too thrilled that I had discovered that he's been around for awhile. Flowing dark greenish hair... tall. 7 foot 6 if I had to assign an earthly height estimate. Pale skin. I may as well as say it: The name that came to mind... "Azazel." lovely.
- Immediately afterward, I can't say I've seen that many angelic beings come down with swords drawn in my mind's eye in such a long time. I also saw several large dragons of varying colors appear in my mind's eye... also taking up a defensive stance against the entity in the vortex. They were working with the angelic beings. The demon, as I am now absolutely convinced this was, disappeared. But the essence of his portal remains.
- The sense also persists that I won't be alone tonight, in terms of having protectors.

This experience of the last couple hours since I've done my research into my family history cements it for me: Don't burn a ouija board unless you've taken all, and I mean... ALL... precautions. Especially if you don't know ALL of the particular board's history.
