I get many questions, comments, and stories about the ouija board. Hopefully this page will be of assistance to those looking for information about this popular topic.
Many people ask me if the ouija is "safe" to use. It is my opinion that if you believe in ghosts, and more particularly believe that using the ouija can call up spirits, then you probably shouldn't use the board. (But if you do decide to use it anyway, be prepared to deal with the consequences.) On the other hand, if you have no psychic reception and think it's a silly game, and are using it with a bunch of other people who have no psychic reception and think it's a silly game, then you'll probably experience nothing out of the ordinary. It's your call. I can't decide for you, but maybe the following articles will help you.
