We always hear stories or watch movies about the game of Ouija.
But how does it work?
Is it a subconscious or a ghost or a demon?

It's all the above. ... and then some

It's a piece of wood with letters and numbers on it....Why does anyone believe that a demon would need a piece of wood to enter this realm..or someone's life..they're a demon and besides..they would probably already be here..knock knock..is that someone at the door...Bwahhahahahahahahahaha...

It's the only wind that opened the door.

Explain more to me.

Thank you for your information and for your tiredness with me
But how does it work?

It don't ..now the magic 8 ball ..now that's something you can believe in...

LOL, as a kid I had a Ouija board.
It doesn't work, its a game.
Also had Twister, which was a lot more fun.

thank you

I am with you in your opinion

No secret it's nothing but a game for your imagination to run wild with.. And to scare the **** out of your friends with~~~

Yup..unless someone cheats (and moves the thingy)
you just sit there and wonder.

it dependant upon your pureness,goodness of heart.as well as psychic ability. results can be enlightening or horrific,which is why ppl r advised to leave alone.

Whoever plays with this Quija board - stop it, burn it, do not engage with this thing. It is used to get in touch with the demonic and yes it is dangerous. Have enough eye witnesses that can attest to that. But besides that, demons can and will take the opportunity to harass, torture and even kill a person (all happened already - and yes as a result of playing with the occult - not only Quija).
The only way to really get rid of demons again is through the power and in the name of Jesus Christ.
You might not believe in this, you might have tried it and think nothing happened, you never know, doesn't always happen instantly. I have personally dealt with a lot of people that got involved with the occult and found themselves in serious trouble, so this is just a warning.
You can believe whatever you want about this or God, but anybody out here reading this, who has difficulties, troubles, harassment, nightmares, apparitions, paranormal activities, sicknesses and diseases, depressions and suicidal thoughts, hears voices, etc. mainly because of these things, there is a way to get rid of it, just want you to know that.
Everyone can believe what they want, I am not here to convince you but to tell the truth about it, what you do with it is up to you.

Actually, the first time my friends and I created and tested an Ouiji board at 12, our first message from a deceased Grandmother was...

"You stupid children, stop now and may God forgive you".

So, who was that?

I gather that when it was first published, it was marketed as a method for contacting the unconscious or subconscious mind and only later became associated with contacting the "dead".

Very well written and explained !!!

Very well written and explained !!!

Never get one, use one, and throw it away. yep, speaking from experience
