Provoking Ghosts

[Captain Maxx Power]

I always find it funny that when using Ouija boards, the ghost or demon in question can always speak perfect English.

Supposedly, demons and angels would be fluent in all human languages...but ghosts... iunno, I think it's funnier that said 'apparition' or whatever's vocabulary and language are usually limited to what the people who use the board know.

I've heard of a ghost which could only been seen via photographs of the house it was haunting, and it had words written across the photograph to go along with it. But it was in Latin

I do belive in Ghosts, There have been billions of sightings for thousands of years, even Henry VIII claimed to of seen a ghost at Windsor,
But anyone who does follow this paranormal bizzarity knows not to touch a Ouiji board, as you dont know who will answer, The spirit may lie to gain your trust and if you dont end the session right the spirit wont leave.

[Ouch!]

hmm.. well, what i was referring to is actually a game. You call forth a ghost(or demon) and ask him questions. its been done enough times and is pretty famous, because freaky stuff always happens. Why i said this, is because of a few famous stories where kids asked when they were going to die, and got an answer 'in a week' or something around that time period. They actually died on that day(therefore the stories becoming rumors). I dont know if it was bull:skull::skull::skull::skull: or not, but its never smart to actually place your life in someone else's hands.

Aboriginal with doctors in Australia have a tradition of pointing a bone at others if they get very upset with them. Witch doctors are feared as powerful beings in such tribes, and it is said if they point a bone at an individual, it is the same as a death sentence. The object of the bone pointing invariably dies.

Is this because the witch doctor actually has the supernatural power to condemn someone to an inevitable death?

No, it's because the person in question believes so unwaveringly in this tradition that they convince themselves they will die. They do so as a result.

Don't underestimate the power of psychological phenomena to manifest physically in extreme manners.

Ouji boards are just marketable... board game... things I've never done anything with one but I don't believes it!

Originally made by MB Games or some crap. Most amusing.

Lol ouija boards.

I don't actually believe in "ghosts". Not in the way most tend to believe. I believe that when someone is dead, they're just dead and there is no way for a connection between them and us. However, I do believe in "ghosts" as seperate entities (not as dead people), and again - I don't believe in a connection between them and us. I leave room for this "theory" because I don't want to be so arrogant as to say that the human eyes can see everything.

When I was younger we used to "play" Ouija just for the heck of it. I tried it alone and with friends and it worked. Also, our "boards" were always self-made. (Large paper w/ stuff written on it, an upside down mini plastic glass instead of the... whatchacall it?). It moved each time but I still don't buy it. Used to creep me out at the time (this was around 8 years ago) but I don't believe in it.

On someone's comment about the ghosts somehow always knowing the English language, we didn't always "play" Ouija in English. My first "board" was in another language and it worked. But like I said, I believe that there is another explanation. Somewhere I read that people that play the game subconciously move it themselves and that makes sense to me. No offense to the people that believe in it.

However, my opinion on making contact with "different creatures" isn't 100% certain. I've seen several strange things but I always brushed them off as my imagination, a trick of light, etc. Either way, whatever creatures out there ... maybe they are as wary of the humans as they are them.
