Ouija board by Fisher Price! Jk...
Seriously, those things are so bullshit though. I think Calvin and Hobbes says it perfectly to be honest...

I totally get that you WANT to believe in something after death, what I don't get is the why part. What reason could you possibly have for believing that ghosts exist instead of the traditional religion afterlife? I understand religion, it's passed through through tradition and it's got a book that can be interpreted as proof. But there's no proof that ghosts exist,MadeinHell said:Hey! I believe in fate! For example my faith is to drink a lot and die when I'm old! And so is most of the population. Actually ALL the population (I mean death ofc).
But seriously now. I once used oujia board or however its named and nothing happened.
I believe in ghosts mostly cause I want to believe that there is something AFTER (even if it totally sucks) but I doubt that any ghost (or even a DEEEMOOOONNN) would give a shit about that piece of plastic. But my friends got all hyped up about that so... we used it. At least there was free alcohol.
so I don't get the foundation of such beliefs.
In the end it's all a personal thing that can do nothing but benefit you (if it's not a fear of ghosts) and it's a belief that will never affect others, that makes it a good thing to believe in in my book
.
A piece of cardboard and a piece of plastic acting as a bridge of communication between the living and the dead? Oh, sure! Of course I believe that.
I don't think a board game you can pick up at your local Wal-mart has the ability to contact the deceased.

I had a female friend who believed the fucking things where real (she was a goth.) So one drunken evening she busted it out, I put my hands on it, AND THE THING WEN'T CRAZY! My hands flew across the board with that little glass thing and it distinctly spelled out "you're retarded"
ok so because he got something totally unrelated wrong, that means everything is wrong? and of all things using some guy's forum post, so the post is actually pretty flimsy in discrediting anything in the episode.cuddly_tomato said:
you also probly didn't even watch what i had posted and just decided to discredit it with something totally unrelated the subject. if this was a debate about second hand smoke that still wouldn't be a valid discrediting.
so really you've done nothing to prove me right or wrong and done a lot more to discredit yourself and any points you actually bring up in the future. i mean if we just toss out everything someone says because they made one mistake, then well Einstein, Edison, Banting, Bell, Wright and MANY other people wouldn't be trusted or even thought of as good scientists.
I've never tried it and don't intend to. My mom apparently did when she was younger, and strange stuff happened, but only short term. After a while the strange things stopped happening (she doesn't like to talk about the actual events so I don't know what happened myself). But nothing's happened for a long time, but since I've seen evidence in other areas of the paranormal, I don't want to risk myself by testing the Ouija board and seeing if that's also true like the other paranormal things I've personally encountered...
Yeah, I've used a ouija board, but nothing happened because we were in a house that didn't have ghosts haha
I don´t believe in Quija Boards, ghosts, spirits or any other sort of superstitious nonsens..
However, I don´t play around with them for fear of them believing in me..
A bit off topic:
But it is funny to hear all sorts of people calling it nonsens, and then finding out they believe in God

I tried one when I was in Sri Lanka for some reason (boredom + hotel = random stuff happening).
Some girl had her dead friend talking to her...
It's all subconscious movements by the people doing it.

Damn you! I watched that episode, and couldn't stop watching more for two hours! Funny episode though.cleverlymadeup said:

No, Ouija Boards are Hokum.
Ghosts don't really exist - there has never been any properly conducted scientific research that has found any proof that ghosts exist. There are psuedo-scientists who claim that they have some sort of scientific way of detecting or communicating with ghosts, but that's at best misreading their own equipment, and at worst a show in order to squeeze money out of someone.
Edit: If you choose to suspend your disbelief for your own amusement, Ouija Boards can actually be sort of fun. I have no problem with Suspending Disbelief, as long as it isn't permanently suspended.
