Why Are Ouija Boards Sold In Toy Departments?

[phamton]

I saw a great debunking of Ouija boards once. The participants were mostly skeptics but still decided to give it a try. They did get lots of answers and each claimed that they weren't moving their hands, etc. Then the participants were blindfolded and were able to get only "yes" and "no" answers. Still they claimed they weren't moving it. So the board was turned around 180 degrees so that those who were sitting near the top of the board were now at the bottom of the board, etc. They were still blindfolded and weren't aware that the board had been turned around. No more "yes or no" answers and no messages. When they asked a question they pushed it to where the "yes and no" part used to be but it wasn't there anymore. I guess the spirits couldn't read.

Oiuja boards are for people who are trying to contact the dead, or spirits.
Not a good idea. Opening yourself up to the demon world, is just scary.
I will check my walmart tomorrow. If they sell them, I will buy all of them. And then I will burn them.
Then I will ask the manager to not sell them anymore.....

A piece of wood with letters and numbers on it is "scary"??
what about Baby Blocks??

I agree, now throw on your flame suit...we are about to be toasted.

I agree too. It is a toy, manufactured by Parker Brothers. Period. It's amazing, what the power of suggestion can do.

I think it's a game that welcomes the devil into your home. That's my belief and I won't be swayed. I have no problem with others using it (as long as they're at their own house!), but I refuse to. I've heard far too many scary stories from people who have messed around with those things.

Please share, it's late and I love ghost stories!

If they sell them, I will buy all of them.

What's really funny is that when you buy them all, the computers that track inventory will decide that it's a really hot item and they'll just order more than ever!

I don't know, I'd be very careful about burning a Ouija board...no telling what demonic spirts you're gonna set loose! I'm getting chillbumps just thinking about it!!!

 

[gepetto]

Mommy, I'm scared.

I beg to differ......that purple teletubby is the MOST evil!!
