Indeed, but sadly I suspect that in the instances that I've observed, they most definitely did not.

Well the fact that it's a game does set it apart from an audio recorder, etc. That doesn't mean spirits can't use it IMO. Chad bought a nice, new, fancy Ouija board recently, and I'll admit, I'm slightly afraid to use it!

BTW, I love cheesecake. LOL

But there's the rub, there's no logical reason to fear a bit of wood / card with some letter etched into it, but fear it we do. A psychological effect built up after many years of hype. There's nothing to be scared of.

Or is there?

I know it sounds silly but I get a bit spooked when I do EVP sessions sometimes. Perhaps we're all scared of the wrong thing.

I just can't get them to 'work' for me, despite the want of trying.

I just personally feel that they have no place in a field investigation scenario. Unless you can get that planchette moving on it's own perhaps.

I can only comment that when I've tried to use something like this I've never had any success, the planchette / glass has always remained stationary. My ever lasting memories are just aching arms from holding my finger in situ. I must try harder I know.

Baruc is right. I believe many "divining" tools require a human to touch them because of the ideomotor phenomenon. I think pendulums and divining rods do the same thing. I once watched someone experiment with a pendulum by placing it in a sealed glass tube where no one was touching it and nothing could affect it. That sucker, which had been freely moving in someone's hand, didn't budge. I'd guess it's the same with a Ouija board.

The most amusing thing I always find is, despite the power of the demons and evil spirits that these boards produce, bringing about death chaos and destruction, the planchette can't move unless someone is touching it...............

Hello Baruc ... I would love to hear from someone who says a planchette has moved on its own.

I got my first Ouija board from a former teacher of mine who swore on her life that it was possessed by a spirit named Atlantic- the former king of the last city by the same name. Obviously with a fantastic claim like that I didn't believe her, but she remains convinced to this day that the spirit has tried to kill her multiple times- and once almost succeeded. (Apparently she kept the board in her garage near an ax that hung on the wall, and one day it fell down barely missing her.)

On a personal- I have often used ouija boards- different ones and types, usually while i was alone since I know very few people that are willing to participate in ghostly activities. The only time I'm ever able to get the planchet to move is when I put both my hands on it, and although I have gotten it to go at a decent speed, I'm pretty sure it was my own hand nerves and nothing more.

WOW !!!

When my teacher wanted to get rid of me she just sent me to the principals office.

So does my sister. Now I'm suspicious. I'm going to have to watch her closely for signs of possession.

LOL!

Maybe critters on the other side hate the sound of ripping cardboard. lol

I threw an Ouija Board away "twice," and it came back both times. I put "IT," and a book about Ouija Boards into a trash bag, put a twisty-tie on it, and threw it outside in the dumpster. About a week or so later, I found IT(and the book) back underneath by bed....

One of my mom's best friends had this happen to her, too. It's always possible that people are just messing with others, but I've had enough weird stuff happen to me that I have to be at least open to the idea that they can, in fact, return from the trash.

I know that you're not supposed to burn them, for some reason, rather, rip them up. I'm not really sure of the purpose of that. Clearly, the board isn't sentient, something else is manipulating it. Maybe critters on the other side hate the sound of ripping cardboard. lol
