Ouija Boards

I did it with school friends.
The spirit was called Petra.
We asked it how many illegitimate children Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) had.
It spelled out ‘eleven’
I wouldn’t do it now, or go to a medium.

Wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole.

I don't think I would want to participate.

It spelled out some names that were appropriate to the area where we were living MissA.

Not far from where St Edmund met his grisly end.

We didn't do it again.

I'd be too scared. I'd be sure to get a row from beyond the grave for messing about with this. My deceased DDad told DD at a clairvoyant session that, although it was nice to see her, she shouldn't be doing this sort of thing! It was just what he'd say. The medium gave DD all sorts of very detailed stuff that she couldn't possibly have known.

Yes, and we scared ourselves silly.

So much so we told the college padre and he warned us not to meddle in things we could never understand.

I have never touched one since.

What scared you, merlot?
Did anything happen?

I have when I was young too. All I remember is we scared ourselves silly!

I'd like to think there was a gateway but I don't think there can be. I would use one if I thought I could "speak" to someone who had died though

Although I don't believe, some people are very suggestible and it can cause problems.
Even so there are more things in heaven and earth ............

We lived in a spooky old house in Suffolk in the early seventies.

Invited some friends round who brought a Ouija board and a few bottles of wine for an evening of anticipated jollity.

Scared the bejesus out of us.

I have when I was young and realised what a load of nonsense it was.

What is the danger, Annie?
I'm not being facetious; I'm very interested in peoples' views, because it seems even people who have no belief in anything supernatural are wary of them.

Dangerous
