You know how it is....go to the pub? Bowling? Watch a movie? Dabble in the occult and try to summon up a demon?

Part of my family used to mess with this stuff which once resulted in a glass exploding in front of a few people.I also tried with several friends in my teens and it's safe to say some odd things went on; although we possibly upset someone from the afterlife based on my drunken suggestions that I wanted to build hotels on the board and because I had three green houses near the YES symbol which I wanted to claim rent on every time the plastic indicator stopped near them.

Any tales to tell? Obviously there will be those open to the suggestion that there are possibly things we do not understand going on around us and those who find such things laughable regardless of what they see or are told.

That makes it sound sort of half possible that you can contact a remaining part of someone that died.

It's not really something people don't understand either.

"The Ouija phenomenon is considered by the scientific community to be the result of the ideomotor response.

Various studies have been produced, recreating the effects of the Ouija board in the lab and showing that, under laboratory conditions, the subjects were moving the planchette involuntarily. Skeptics have described Ouija board users as 'operators' Some critics noted that the messages ostensibly spelled out by spirits were similar to whatever was going through the minds of the subjects. According to Professor of neurology Terence Hines in his book Pseudoscience and the Paranormal"

Strange things only happened because you wished so much for them to happen.

Stop being silly.

There was a cracking thread on this not long ago.

I used to really f**k with this soppy birds head by forcing the shot glass across the board.

It used to freak her right out.

Took forever to do it so as to not raise suspicion.

What a load of old w**k.
