I believe in the paranormal. I believe in spirits, but not demons... Most spirits, I think, are either good or neutral, but there are some bad spirits. Not even really bad, but there are some confused/restless spirits out there. Remember, all these spirits were once living people.
If you decide to use it just be sure to read up on it first! Don't let any uber religious sites scare you away from using it, but when/if you do, be very careful. If you start to get any bad vibes immediately move the little thing to "goodbye" say thank you and stuff, and be sure to close the board. Also, don't start using the board with any weak/negative feelings... That's almost asking a bad/restless spirit to come your way.
I've used one in a graveyard with some friends before. We didn't get any bad feelings and had a pretty neat experience... Both of my friends believed in paranormal and I'm almost certain neither of them moved the planchette, and we did get a spirit contact =]
Have fun if you decide on doing it and be careful!
