Games or Portals?

There has long been controversy as to whether Ouija boards are mere games, or can it really open up a portal for spirits. My opinions are based on research, reading, and personal experiences.

Ouija boards have been around for hundreds of years. The version of the board as it is known today was finalized in 1892 by William Fuld, president and owner of the Kennard Novelty Company. He eventually renamed the company the Ouija Novelty Company. The name Ouija was said to be derived from the French and German words meaning yes, oui and ja. It could also be derived from the name of the Moroccan city, Oujda. The board is rectangular in shape with two rows of letters top A-M and bottom M-Z. Just below the letter are numbers one-zero. The top left corner of the board is the word yes, the top right is the word no, and near the bottom of the board is the word Goodbye. The instrument used to spell out messages is called a planchette.
The Ouija board is known for its ability to assist in communication with intelligent spirits, bringing the need for table tipping and medium séances to minimal use. There are several warnings regarding this instrument, which include:

Never use it alone

Never use when sick or weak

Never use in a cemetery

Never use where an unnatural death has occurred

In most cases of diabolical presence that I have witnessed, it has eventually become known that at some point there was practice of trying to communicate with the deceased. There have been numerous unexplainable experiences including, but not limited to, the planchette moving on its own, scratches, noises, even possession. This can lead to an actual haunting or torment to the person that used the board or the property where it was used. In my personal opinion, it is better to leave it alone than to contact something you can not remove.

If you feel that you have contacted something that will not leave, please contact your local paranormal research group or your clergy for help.
