  I noticed on my OnDemand Cable movies that there is a movie called Seance. Guess what I will be watching later tonite, if I can pull myself away from this site. I don't know...... well maybe I'll watch the movie tomorrow. :)

  I had one very bad experience with a Ouija and it wasn't through my own use of it but my Mom and her friends one night when I was younger, I was 19 just come home on leave after being away for 9 months on tour in N. Ireland with the Army in the height on the troubles there, so I was mentally exhausted from being on high alert for so long. Well on getting home I opened the door and it was like being stabbed with thousands of static zaps all over me very uncomfortable I can tell you, and when I got to the living room I found my Mom and her friends playing in a candle lit room with the Ouija board, the uncomfortable feeling was even more in this room for me and some of the ladies were laughing as if it was a big joke and some seemed very worried but my Mom she did not seem to be her she was very angry and snapped at me asking what was I doing there. (I can tell you this was not my Mom she never had a bad bone in her body, if I brought 20 friends home she would join in and even feed them) On seeing this I picked up the board and shouted BEGONE and broke it over my knee, my uncomfortable feeling left in an instant and my Moms anger was gone. I was told by 2 of the ladies that were there who I might add were the ones thought it to be just a big joke, that after I broke it there was a blinding flash of light, I didn't see it myself but they said it was there. Do I feel the Ouija is a toy? yes I do! a toy for Satan if left in the wrong hands! Do I feel that it is the same as all the other devises I use no, just as Wes said I only ask for those who are there to use the tool to communicate and nothing more, do I get the uncomfortable feelings with those tools I use NO but still do even being around a Ouija knowing it is there or not I have friends that I wont go into there homes because of the uncomfortable feelings.

  I don't see any more harm in using the Ouija Board then using any other form of communication with spirits. I don't like the Ouija Board nor do I ever use one. All the information that I have seen that has came from an Ouija Board has been very incomplete and inaccurate. I don't think an Ouija Board is a portal to hell or wherever no more then any other item that is used.If I was afraid that something may come across the board that I couldn't handle or that I might open a door that I couldn't shut then I wouldn't even be messing around the paranormal. I would find something else that I wasn't frighten of and spend my time doing that. If I ever run across something that I can't handle then my days in the paranormal are over. I would know then that I was in the wrong field of research.

  I hate to disagree with a boo or two, but you know I'm with Bill on this one. (tho I'd still use it for fun if I felt like it.)
  
  And truth be told, my daughter and nephew have done it a few times in the last months. (I silently supervised from a distance - like I'm an "expert" - ha!)
  
  What I found remarkable was their absolutely natural instinct to lay ground rules to whomever was hanging in our house should they decide to chit chat. And to use the board with a laptop right next to it so they could make notes and look up information in order to try to verify and document stuff. They really treated it as though it were just a rudimentary/primitive voice recorder, phone, or other device for communication. (Neither has otherwise demonstrated an interest in pursuing paranormal activity/investigating, at this time anyway.)
  
  Something else I thought was interesting was that my nephew is being raised with all the trappings of Catholicism. He was the one who begged to use it. Though he was also nervous at first, he asked intelligent questions and did most of the computer look ups. Eventually he was nearly Zak-like in his enthusiasm.
  
  My daughter, armed only with the freedom to explore world religions (should she want to), and to seek out and find her own faith, agreed to use it, but doesn't really think she believes "it". She suspects that it's her own energy or something subconscious in HER that makes it move (unintentionally).
  
  In the end, little of real objective, verifiable evidence seems to be gleaned from the Ouija outside of a few dates, names, (and perhaps affirmations of "secret crushes"), before growing bored and turning attentions on to something else.
  (btw, there is an ad for playing the Ouija online - for free below this quick reply)
  
  Oh, and Liz, I saw that movie, Seance about 2 weeks ago OnDemand at like 3 in the morning (couldn't sleep). It was "so so" but unfortunately, not scary.
