You can ask, but since the only true stories will be ‘nothing happened’ or ‘I/my friend faked it’ it won’t be very interesting. Anything else is delusion, I’m afraid.

JoyfulMystery · 23/10/2018 17:38

Indeed, cardi. Although you're being a little tough on those stories where the glass flew around the board and exploded to sepulchral laughter and the terrified teenagers ran from the house and one of them died ten years later on the exact day predicted by the ouija board, and it's all definitely true because it happened to my boyfriend's cousin's hairdresser.

GhoulishGremlins · 23/10/2018 17:39

Boyfriend's cousin's hairdresser's aunt's daughter's dog's groomer's dentist, you mean.

My siblings (when they were teens) were pissing about with one (so we dont know who the culprit was - the all swear blind it wasn't them - I have my suspicions though) and got a 'message' from a friend of my middle sister who has died in a horrible accident about a year before, berating them for forgetting her.

Scared them shitless and they never messed with one again.

Sassielassie · 23/10/2018 17:41

Im embarrassed to admit im too scared to have ever used one. I know its probably all nonsense but what if ITS NOT Shock??

I did one when I was in my first flat. Nothing particularly weird happened at the time but afterwards things did get weird. Curtains I knew I opened would be closed again (I lived alone). I had a habit of filling the kettle before I went to bed and in the morning it would be empty. Things like that. The worst was, I had a divan bed and when I was in bed it would feel like someone was underneath pushing on the mattress, when clearly no one was. The final straw was when a friend came to stay overnight. She had a little dog that went everywhere with her. Well she had to literally drag him into the flat, he really didn't want to come in and he just howled the whole time he was there. Which she said he'd never done before. In the end I did actually call a priest and had the flat blessed. I moved out shortly afterwards thankfully. I'm not saying there's anything in it but I would never do one again, nor would I allow it to be done in my home.

You called?

Storm4star · 23/10/2018 17:57

Thanks! I mean obviously I can't say definitively what caused it but I wouldn't risk it again.

adoggymama · 23/10/2018 17:59

My parents had a dinner party and their friends all brought their teenage kids. We were having our dinner in the sitting room with videos to watch. All would be fine except two of the kids made my life hell at school, and had no problem with continuing this in my home. One lad suggested Ouija.
I wanted revenge.
I pushed that glass and scared those bitches by saying I was going to haunt them, i was a ghost called Jo, that they would die if they called a priest and all sorts.
Apparently they had nightmares and freaked out for weeks. All parents had a huge row over it and I never had to endure them in my house again.
I still don't feel guilty.
And I still think it's bunkum.

adoggymama · 23/10/2018 18:11

@IJustLostTheGame amazing!

That's the second time you've made me lose the game @Ijustlostthegame! I'd been winning for years. Halloween Angry

TheGirlWithAllTheFeathers · 23/10/2018 20:25

Loving @Ijustlostthegame but my own story is this.
Early teenage me and a couple of pals (only three of us) created one out of card and a glass and darkened the room. That f'ing glass flew round the letters. All directions. I wasn't pushing and if the other two were, their co-ordination was amazing as it changed angle and line very precisely. Spelling was rubbish and made no sense. We never, ever did it again.

ImNotBusyImLazy · 23/10/2018 20:50

When I was around 10, I was sleeping over at a friend's house. It was late, her parents were asleep and we were in her room. I saw she had an Ouija board and suggested we play it (it seemed a harmless "spooky" thing to do, like watching a mildly tame scary movie).

As we started playing I'm sure we were asking silly questions, I really can't remember I said something along the lines of "you know Ouija boards are Satanic? Watch your dolls get possessed and attack us!" Within a few minutes, the shelf of dolls above her bed fell and all the dolls came tumbling down. I shit you not.

We ran out screaming and slept in her parents' room that night.

Haven't touched one since. Still believe most "results" are made up/forced by the players but I do think they are a gateway...

Fluffyears · 23/10/2018 21:22

Even if it is bunkum, you are opening yourself up psychologically. If someone dies believe in it and is very suggestible then they can be harmed mentally by this.

ShesABelter · 23/10/2018 21:30

My friend has always been into spirits and woo. We done one in my old flat about 11 years ago. Id just moved in and had the carpets all lifted floor boards weren't flat or in line. She got white candles and a plant to put near us and did the letters and yes no etc on torn up paper in a circle and turned off the lights. We used an upturned shot glass and first of all she asked for us to be protected by our guardian angels etc. First couple minutes bugger all happened and u was thinking what a pile of shite. Then the glass started moving so fast neither of us could keep up with it to keep our fingers on it and when we both looked up at each other chalk white it was still moving. I absolutely shit myself and she asked it to leave. Then she fucked off home and I was left alone in my empty undercorated, uncarpeted empty flat. I slept with the light on and my head under the covers for about three months. Would never ever do it again.

HarrietKettleWasHere · 23/10/2018 21:30

Yes, the cynic in me believes it just taps into your self-conscious and exploits that and thats how it works....

But You can’t take it to a random place, a bad spirit could still latch on to you and follow you home!!

I refused to be a part of one at a sleepover once, me and another girl watched a video upstairs while four others had a crack at a homemade ouija downstairs. The family dog then bolted up the stairs and whined and scratched at the door to be in the room with us. Next thing, the bulb above them blew out and the electrics tripped, no word of a lie. They were screaming!

The phantom fuse-blower of old London Town!

Meralia · 23/10/2018 21:36

I used one when I was 14. I really don’t recommend them.

JustDanceAddict · 23/10/2018 21:40

Did it at uni! That night has gone down in legend with my uni pals (we still talk about it now and it was 25+ years ago). Whether it’s a load of old bollox or not, it still scared the shite out of all of us. That glass pot def moved if it’s own accord.
