What Elspode said. I wouldn't recommend fooling around with one.

Doesn't anyone (besides the pagan's here) believe in the spirit world?

Yes, I do...along with a number of other mystical teachings.

I'm with Elspode and Brianna on this one.

Here's why:

I, along with some friends, fooled around with a Ouija board as a teen and we ended up scared witless. It didn't really talk to us or tell us anything amazing, but the board itself refused to go away. We became scared of what we were doing and threw the board away. The next day it was back on the table. So we cut it into pieces, but again, a day or so later it was back in one piece on top of one girl's dresser. It was definately the same board as it had several distinctive marrings on its surface. We decided we were in wayyy over our heads and asked an older, more experienced person to take the board away for us. There were several other odd incidents which occured during those couple of days, but its very possible they were just paranoia from scared teenagers (so I'll leave them out of the story).

In any case, I don't mess around with the spirit world anymore.

Sorry Stormie - I know this was your personal experience and I'm not calling you a liar, but to be frank I find the idea of a piece of cardboard/ wood fixing itself back together and jumping up onto a dresser ridiculous.

Isn't it more likely one of your group discovered a way to put the wind up the rest of you and did it themself?

Anything is possible (:p ), but I remember being petrified because the board that reappeared had the same gouges and scratches as the one we had cut up earlier. The board was very thick and it took several of us to cut it. I can visualize the trashcan we threw it into and how we kept eyeing it the rest of the evening. There was a lot of accusing each other of trickery as well /shrug. I honestly don't know how or what happened, but I've never messed with a Ouiji board since.
