Well, do you?

I was pretty surprised to find out several of my friends do and was curious what the general ATOT public thought.

Eerie ouija stories welcome.

Only reason I'd use them is to weed out potential girlfriends. If they believe in that crap, they get dumped.

They should cross-reference Ouija board "belief" with undergrad applications into science degree programs - automatically rejecting the people who believe in them. :p

Once I got a horoscope that was disturbingly accurate, but there are at least 40 others that have been completely wrong, so no.

My palm reader says that they work really well as long as you believe in them. She must be right, because my horoscope that day said that I'd receive excellent advice from a stranger. :p :)




(j/k!!!) People who believe in horoscopes, Ouija boards, etc., should be made to feel shame for falling for such nonsense.

My friends and I used one when I was about 15 years old. My friend Tyler's dad was in the hospital with pneumonia, and he was playing with us. The Ouiji board kept on spelling out "die die die" and then his dad's pneumonia tripled in size that night, out of nowhere, and he died. That was crazy enough for me, and I didn't use them again.

I don't believe in them, but I'm not going to use one anymore than I'm going to look in the mirror and say "Candyman" three times.

I guess I have the same attitude as most of the folks here.
Its sort of like asking if I believe in cars or dinner plates.
Yes, I believe in Wiji boards.

I think a better question would be: "Do you believe ouiji boards actually work?"
Of course I have no answer to that question because I've never used them.

I do not believe in them. They do not exist, and are merely figments of our imagination. In fact, anyone who so much as tells you they saw an Ouija board is lying.

from wiki

"Skeptic and magician James Randi, in his book An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural, points out that when blindfolded, Ouija board operators are unable to produce intelligible messages. Magicians Penn & Teller performed a similar demonstration in an episode of their television show Bullshit! in which the operators moved the planchette into what they thought was the positions of "yes" and "no" without knowing that the board was turned upside-down, which caused them to move the planchette into blank spaces on the board."

It's made by a toy company. Anyone who believes this needs to have their head checked. Madame Cleo, on the other hand, is the real deal. One of her psychic advisors told me I was destined for love. That night, I drank a beer. I LOVE beer!

I placed my mouse on a ouija board and let it vote for me in the poll.

It voted no for some reason though.
