Thread: Ouija & Talking to Spirits

Rudolph Quin said MsMuffintops said If you believe in such stuff then you know you should not burn an Ouija board. Many believe that this is in a sense opening the door and leaving it open. I've heard Ouija boards can vary as you're sort of opening a window of sorts and you never know what kind of spirits you will run into. You may run into nothing, you may run into a friendly spirit, you may run into one that will want to cause shit. This is because you're supposedly running into spirits that are in a limbo and haven't yet fully made it to their final destination, be it wherever that is. I've never used an Ouija board and I don't think I ever would. I don't think I could handle it. I'm skeptical about the whole spirit and supernatural thing, but I don't fully deny the existence of spirits and ghosts. I've had my experiences that don't really have explanations. A few years ago my door knob started suddenly making jiggly noises like someone was weakly placing their hands on the door knock and failing to turn it, kind of like a cat that wants in a room or a small baby. How they will place their pawhand on the door knob and attempt to turn it but fail. It kept going at it for about an hour. I assumed my cat just wanted in but nothing compelled me to go let it in. Eventually, my dad who was sat at the desk on the other side of my door opened my bedroom door and peered in like he was looking for something. And he said ...Thought there was some cat stuck in here wanting out. So it wasn't coming from the other side of my bedroom door. Yeah you might want to be a little careful, since some spirits may not play as nice as others. Click to expand... I'm skeptical of everything I've heard about Ouija board decorum. I do not think the board itself has any significance even while in use. I could use a piece of paper with the alphabet written on it and burn that at the end of a session and have no affect. It is the belief that is that open door the will of people. Can we put that belief into objects? Yes, through ritual and what someone believes will make them safe or threaten them can give significance to the tools we use. But if I believe that leaving a board without putting the planchette on goodbye is still closing it because I am done talking, then it will be. That is really freaky about the doorknob. Did you ever figure out what happened or what it was? Click to expand... Oh I didn't say I believed in such things but if said poster honestly believes the satanic route then surely they'd believe the theory that burning them can open up doors in a sense. As for my own experience. It was anticlimactic. It stopped after about a week of doing it on and off. I kind of wonder if there's a scientific reason for it, but really, it hadn't done it before and it hasn't done it since. Perhaps maybe there is a spirit in my home that was trying to communicate or get noticed and my response to it made it back off. I've heard theories that spirits will not show themselves to people who do not wish to see them. And while I'd like to believe and think that all or most do not wish any harm I still don't think I could really handle it at first. So I'm thinking of it was a spirit, maybe that's why it stopped or didn't do more.
