I'd answer that but being the huge skeptic that I am, I can't. I don't believe that a simple board is capable of communicating with spirits. Like you said, it's just a board.

And I came to this thread to raise another question about the board's use too. (Side note: I'm an avid non-believer in ghosts/spirits/whatever but I'm fascinated with the idea of ghosts and I want to believe. I just see too many flaws and not enough scientific proof to believe in them.)

You all know that to use a ouija board, a small number of people place their fingers on the plachette and ask the "spirits" questions. Why must one put their fingures on the plachette? Is the spirit not capable of moving the object by itself? The problem with people putting their fingers on it is that 1) if you're with your friends, or anyone for that matter, someone is sure enough bound to be pulling your leg by trying to scare you and try to make you think a spirit is actually answering your questions and 2) Skeptics says that people can involuntarily move the piece themselves, believing that they are actually communicating with a spirit (read this source for more detail). Not saying that the source is 100% true but I choose to believe it.

Just a couple flaws I wanted to point out.

Ok heres an imporatant question, if my friend uses the Ouija board what should I expect when that happenes? I tried to convience him that it bad tbut he just to curious to use the Ouija board.

If my friend get possessed or something bad happens what should I do to help?

It all depends on if you believe that it actually works. I myself find it hard to believe that anything happens but I'm a skeptic so I won't go about my ranting or anything haha.

Seeing as you're worried about him though and what may result from using the ouija board, it is common for people to say a prayer of protection before they ghost hunt, hold a séance, use a ouija board, etc. I read that St. Michael's prayer is a common prayer for ghost hunters to use and it can be found here. Suggest that he do that before using the board, if he hasn't already.

When my mum was 16(it always seems to be 16 year olds ) she played with a ouija Board and it spelt her her uncle's initials then it spelt Help. two days later her uncle got hit in the head with an axe(but he survived)

Ouija Boards are by far the dumbest, and most dangerous forms of communication with spirits. You can be cautious all you want, but anything can come from the other side, and once you invite something insane in, you can't just get it out. They can't come into your personal space unless you invite them, and by talking to them on the board you are doing just that. Calling them into your household, past your thresh hold and welcoming them to cause whatever havoc they want.

Is it safe if I use one at school? lol

When is the last known case of someone actually getting possessed by using a ouija board?

Cause it seems to me that the only time something like that actually happens is in a movie.

Well I know Ouija board is dangerous, what is the best method to contact spirits?

My friend got a witchy board or ouija board but there some word that in the board

Sufficit

I know sufficit is to end the conversation or to stop but what are the others? Sufficit is not around the start it under the star.

What language are the words?


they are in the centre of the board, in the middle is the star and around the star are these words. What do those word mean?

Edit

I forgot to ask what does Circuskija mean?

I don't think they are spanish words, I know spanish and I don't know them, that why I ask here if anyone know what those word mean.

There is no proof of possession scientifically. Until science learns to accept matters of spirit, there never will be. There is only belief and disbelief. People are always looking to science as if it is proof, but really it is a set of supported guesses. Even Laws of science have sometimes been changed or altered. Science relies on constants, whereas spiritual matters are never truely replicated 100 %. Skeptics ask for proof but never actually expect to get it, and when they are faced with evidence they deny it. Take tape recorders: when evidence is presented on tape, they say its residual recordings that have contaminated the investigation, when its on a digital recorder it is always under fire since it could be altered. Same with camera's. If you want proof, do research, and go get the answers yourself. That way you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is real.

so true sion, skeptics always find the little tiny threads(problems in this metaphor/simile)and pull them out to make a hole in a paranormal investigation.
