What is a Ouija Board?
Ya know, I had a poll
on this very page for over a year asking that same question. If you've
visited this page during that time, you MAY remember seeing it, or even
remember the results that were here before I had to take it down.
If you HAVE been here in that time, you know that I am not exaggerating
when I say that the VAST majority of people that had responded to the
poll had agreed on their answer.
What is a Ouija
Board?
The majority
answer.... A game.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Cynics aside, how does the paranormal
community take the board?
The Ouija Board is a pretty controversial subject among all of
us paranormal geeks. For the most part, if you attempt to have a
conversation about the thing in the wrong crowd, you will be verbally
attacked for even mentioning its use.
"Those things are evil! You shouldn't EVER use them! HURRY! Let's
change the subject!"
It's better to be a crackhead than someone who likes the Ouija board.
If so many
people don't even allow you to talk about it in their presence, how can
you make any headway in learning about the subject?
I guess you'll have to figure the whole thing out for
yourself, since nobody is willing to help you. It's just as well.
Anybody who tries to tell you what's really behind the board is
clueless anyway, so you don't want to learn from them.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not exempt here. I'm clueless too.
Yup. Figure it out for yourself. Hopefully, the pages on this site will
help you do that with an open mind.

A Little Bit of Info
It's divination, plain and simple. You're using a
piece of
cardboard with letters on it to obtain knowledge through supernatural
means.
It's pronounced WEE-JA not WEE-JEE! I admit, however
that I often
prefer to say WEE-JEE just to annoy people who take themselves too
seriously.
First off, before we get into the cool stuff, let me say
the same
history lesson crap that every other Ouija page on the net says. The
original patent date for the first manufactured commercial 'talking
board' was February 10, 1891 by Kennard Novelty Company in Baltimore,
MD. A year later Kennard went broke, and William Fuld took it over. He
sold the design to Parker Brothers in 1966. The board became, and
remained an American favorite until the world was traumatized in 1974.
After that, the public lost their nerve. I'll repeat that. The general
public saw it used with negative results in a frickin' MOVIE.... and
now everyone's afraid of it.
Ouija comes from the French and German words for 'yes'
and...You
know what? Forget it. Use a search engine if you want a history lesson.
Let's get down to business.
And before we get down to bid-ness, I feel that I HAVE to
do something on this page that I don't do anywhere else on the site. On
all my pages, and everything I talk about here on the site, I try to
end it up in the air with an open mind. I end things with a question.
Is it real? Is it fabrication?
On this page, I say, flat out. My mind IS closed on the subject.
It IS real.
I've seen proof with my own eyes.
Do I expect you to take my word for it?
Nope.
To the right, you will see the little menu that has all
the pages for our Ouija section for you to visit. Please visit them,
and enjoy. On these pages, will I try to convince you of what I CLAIM
to have seen?
Nope.
I still want you to make up your own mind, and remain open
to all possibilities.
