Have you had any weird experiences with the ouija board? Who made it? And what was it designed for?

Yes, just silly fun that some gullible folks scare themselves over.
The Ouija board is a kid's game sold at Toys R Us, and it doesn't conjure spirits any more than Hungry Hungry Hippos conjures real hippopotamuses. There's a lot of myth and hype surrounding this board since many people are easily fooled and would rather buy into the hype than consider this with a critical eye. It works based on the ideomotor effect -- subconsciously you are pushing on the pointer in the direction of the letter you think the "spirit" is spelling. And it works much better with multiple players, since when a few letters are already spelled everybody tends to home in on the same word -- the players are pushing the pointer, not a spirit. And when everybody is pushing the pointer, the illusion is that no one is pushing on it. That's it, that's the whole gag. It fools lots of teenagers, and embarrassingly enough it fools some gullible adults too.
And don't forget to take into account the jokers -- the players who intentionally move the pointer, or the ones that rigged something to fall or tip over during the Ouija session (a little black thread in a dark room can be pretty effective for that). Or just say "hey,I see a black shadow in that corner!" -- everybody will look, and that's your cue to fling the pointer across the room and say a demon did it. This kind of stuff is what Ouija board sessions are all about.

Ouijas are made for the Hasbro Toy Company in the mysterious Far East. I've had loads of fun times with Genuine Hasbro Ouijas over the years. Silly gullible person + Genuine Hasbro Ouija = Fun. It's fun that helps some people, because a few of them wise up and stop believing in silly things.
Many stay silly and afraid of them. I know of one nut so clueless, he believes mental institutions are filled with kids driven insane by Ouija boards.

"had any weird experiences with the ouija board?"
Yes, meeting adults who actually believe they do anything supernatural.

It's not just a game, it's also a great way to terrorise your superstitious, gullible companions.

There's absolutely no good scientific justification to suggest the ouija board is anything more than just a game.

The board is actually called a talking board. It was used in China and Egypt over 2000 years ago. It is a tool designed to be used by sensitives. If used by none sensitives, then ideomotor response kicks in. When you watch boxing and find yourself lashing out at invisible opponents or your foot moving and trying to kick an imaginary ball during a match on tv, that is ideomotor response. This guy in 1891 realised that there was no patent on these boards so applied for one. He was refused as the board already had a name and a use. He was told to redefine its purpose and change its name.
He changed its name to the YesYes board. Oui, yes in french and Ja, yes in german. He reclassified it as a parlour game. People show you daft video's on here of people trying to prove the board doesn't work. How stupid is that? They think that the board has been used for over 2000 years and not one person thought to carry out tests??? Duh! When a sensitive uses the board, they can get the answer to a dice throw in another room or the random number of an open book page. I honestly believed that the nut house was full of people who have messed with these boards but DRNG said I was wrong. I'm going to go with him as he obviously should know. Silly me.

I haven't touched one, and more often than not people who take it lightly come to regret it. What most people don't realise it's that it's not the piece of cardboard itself that's dangerous. What's dangerous is the way it's used, because regardless of the level of belief of the participants they're opening a door for spirits to come through. Regardless of whether or not you believe what you're doing will have any results, you're preforming a ritual. The Ouija board should be left alone, because the majority of people who just want an experience end up getting haunted, sometimes by beings more sinister than ghosts.

Well its an interesting experiment to see what is buzzing around in your subconscious mind.---The ideomotor response uses the small, unconscious muscle movements I your hands to communicate with your subconscious mind. Pendulums and tipping tables work the same way.--The principle has been known for centuries.
the board is only a tool to give these movements some kind of "meaning". So any "Spirits" would BE in YOUR HEAD rather than the board----is that not a comforting thought?

I've had some weird experiences but I always played with someone else. So it's hard to tell if they're moving it or not.
2017-03-09 8:13 am
No, don't Fl_lCK with it. It'll open a portal and welcome evil entities. I know lots of people that have tried this and they all say don't play around with it.
But hey, if you don't want to take my advice, then go ahead and try it. Let me know what happens.

Not all Ouija Boards are just a game for there are some Ouija Boards that can put you in contact with some very real and dangerous demonic sources...................

It isn't a game. The Hasbro one that most are familiar with was created a while back so that the creator could patent talking boards or spirit boards. They are very similar but a lot safer usually with protections placed on them. The Ouija board itself is generally harmless if you take the right precautions. The ideomotor effect accounts for some but not all of the activity.

The human subconscious makes it work not magic
2017-03-13 2:47 am
Hai, is just children's toy. It use ideomotor effect. users subconsciously push it and form answers they know. It not work if users blindfolded or if ask questions involve foreign languages users not know.
2017-03-09 10:18 pm
It is just a game designed to scare people, but I am very much paranoid, so even though it is just a game, I'll never ever use one

Yes it's all story's
