There is a simple test to prove you are pushing it. place some discs or coins on top of the planchette held with a rubber band.

Now if the coins move forward as its moved then YOU have pushed it. If the coins move back then the planchette moved first by whatever force. See Derren Browns explanation http://www.youtube.com/user/scienceofscamsc4#p/...

People claim its evil , harms people etc. Erm where the hell is the evidence????? What harm?????????

Do it!! As at least one other person previously said…. the Ouija board is 100% Ideomotor effect. When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, everyone used Ouija boards. We had a great time. Sure, it was spooky, but we all understood that it was spooky in the same way watching a horror movie was spooky. Fun, but understood to be imaginary — which it is. I vote for making a test. It's almost guaranteed to answer your questions, because you are answering them yourself, unconsciously. And if you are actually doing it for the first time, you'll shake your head at how it works, with seemingly no effort or input from you. Oh, and the other thing we always did after using the Ouija board was gather around someone and lift them, with each person using just one finger. That's another weird weird effect that we tried to convince ourselves was some kind of supernatural power, but in reality we knew it wasn't.

please don't do it. some things don't need to be tested, taken apart, looked at. I have used a board twice in my life, each time it predicted coming events with 100% accuracy, but the feeling I had about it afterwards was too creepy to forget.
I just don't think this is one of your better ideas, Ben, Aaron.

It's obvious to me that some people here have never upset a Ouijia board….I say stay away from this experiment.. there are certainly other more interesting ones.

Let's face it — aside from whether a Ouija board is a portal to evil or not; George is a drama queen and William Birnes is prone to take the explanation of things to the hysterical edge for a good story. I give you Exhibits A & B — Coast To Coast and UFO Hunters.

Hey Aaron and Ben

From the stories about oujia boards on the net most of them recount the experience as being negative. Some paranormal researchers even warn that spiritual attachments can occur from playing with them http://inphonetwork.wordpress.com/2007/10/23/wa...

I wouldn't do it.

I bet it'd be interesting to hear an interview with someone from Parker Brothers about their involvement and sales of Ouija boards.

I find it odd. People have private phone numbers (unlisted), limited access to their FaceBook pages, blinds or curtains on their windows, and locks on the doors of their homes. I could go on forever but you get the point. Why have all of these precautions and then throw all caution out the door to peer into something that, we all know, has been the source of so much harm for so many? Seriously, I have to wonder why you would want to just open a portal and “communicate” with any one or any THING. On this show it is a reoccurring theme that we don't know everything. This creation is a bit bigger than any of us can imagine. I am not sure what is to be gained by just opening a portal with absolutely no control. It is even… and I don't want to be insulting… arrogant to think that you can control your experience. How does one know if the “person” on the other side is a person. And what are we fooling with here? I worry less about the body and more about the repercussions on our spirit. I mean, for one who believes in a spirit (which scientifically we know very little about) why open that spirit up to be harmed by other bigger and more malevolent entities? I have seen the extreme cases that this kind of “dabbling” can cause and the risk is NEVER worth it.
I worry that if MU decided to go down this path and play with this then it would be the end of the show. I cannot explain that, it is just a strong gut feeling.
