Ouija: Not a Game
by Dale Kaczmarek
The Ouija board has been used by thousands of people for spirit
communication and is very similar to automatic writing, the only
difference between the two being the absence of the board itself in
automatic writing. Both forms of communication are very dangerous; as
are séances, because they are usually uncontrolled forms of
communications. In other words, the individuals that use these channels
are usually novices and are unaware of the possible dangers that await!
A controlled situation would be where a psychic, medium or clairvoyant
is present. This way the medium could sense if any dangers are present
and close off the communication before any harm was done.
The Ouija board is just a piece of compressed wood, sold at virtually all
toy stores and occult supply and book stores. Ouija is a combination of two words: "oui" and "ja" which
mean "yes" in French and German respectively. The board itself is not dangerous but the form of
communication that you are attempting often is.
Most often the spirits whom are contacted through the Ouija are those whom reside on "the lower astral
plane". These spirits are often very confused and may have died a violent or sudden death; murder, suicide,
etc. Therefore, many violent, negative and potentially dangerous conditions are present to those using the
board. Often times several spirits will attempt to come through at the same time but the real danger lies when
you ask for physical proof of their existence! You might say, "Well, if you're really a spirit, then put out this
light or move that object!" What you have just done is simple, you have "opened a doorway" and allowed
them to enter into the physical world and future problems can and often do arise.
I would strongly advise against the use of the Ouija, automatic writing or séances. If you don't happen to be
lucky or unlucky enough (depends on how you look at it) to contact any ghosts, then if nothing else, you
could become emotionally attached or dependent on the board's advice. This can be psychologically adverse
on the psyche as you will attempt to get more and more information out of the board and you could actually
just be using the board as an avenue to the inside of your own mind without realizing it. In other words, you
could be asking questions of the board and then your subconscious mind would be using the planchette to
answer your own questions! This often happens to those people who use the board by themselves.
I believe the following cases are true examples of what could happen to those who continue to use the board
or become obsessed or possessed!

I invited a foul horror into my house with a Ouija board. My brother and I got no results when we started to
use the psychic device, but suddenly the message indicator mysteriously began to move. The first thing the
board told us was that the message was being sent by Seth. Then I made the tragic mistake of telling the
board to prove it was real by doing something supernatural. The results were startling and scary. The board
told us that the grandfather of one of my best friends would die in a week. The chandelier in the room began
to shake violently and the chimes rang like pieces of metal being smashed together. The room became as cold
as ice and we were shivering, though the thermometer read 70 degrees. The horrible stench of death filled the
room and we couldn't stop gagging and coughing.
Suddenly, the noises stopped and the room was as quiet as a cemetery in the middle of the night. My brother
and I looked at each other in terror. We opened the windows to get rid of the stink or rotting flesh and told
each other we'd forget the whole thing. But a week later the grandfather of one of my best friends died just as
the board has predicted! And from time to time the chandelier would rattle, the room freeze and that awful
smell return. I couldn't take it any more. I threw the board away and told my mother about the experience.
She told me that once you tamper with a Ouija board, its evil spell will remain forever. And to this day, those
terrifying tremors shake the house and the stench of death fills the room.
Ouija Board Summons Demons
(The Sun, 12986)
A simple Ouija board became a passport to Hell for a family that accidentally summoned a demon into their
living room. "I thought it might have been the Devil himself," says John Ravens, father of the tormented
family. "When it was over, we were all bleeding and had severe burn marks. Our living room was a disaster
area."
"It was supposed to be a joke," says Gloria, the girl's mother. "We were going to make believe we were
talking with the spirit world."
Little Lynda, her nine-year-old brother Ronald, and their parents gathered around the board for what they
thought was going to be an evening of fun at their home in a Toronto, Canada suburb. "We were just playing
around with it when suddenly the planchette that spells out answers began moving by itself," says John. "We
were all scared, but then I thought maybe one of the kids was up to tricks. We started asking questions, and
this spirit began speaking to us. "Then it asked if it could visit with us. By this time, I was sure someone was
playing a joke, and I said yes," he adds.
That's when the nightmare began. "The demon appeared within seconds," says John. "It spun around the
room overhead, laughing and cursing at us. "It was surrounded by a ring of fire and the room became so hot,
it was like an inferno from Hell." The family describes the demon as red and black with scaly skin and horns.
It also had giant bat wings. "Then it suddenly swooped down and attacked us," recalls John, horror flickering
over his features. "It started biting each of us on the face and arms. "We tried getting up and running for the
door, but every time we did, the creature started clawing us. It was so fast, we couldn't escape from it."
Lynda and brother Ronald were picked up repeatedly and hurled across the room. As they lay helplessly on
the floor, the creature pounded on their chests and heads. "It had hooves that dug into my children's faces and
skin, marking them badly," says Gloria. The attack lasted for more than an hour before the horrifying demon
vanished as quickly as it first appeared. The children were screaming and crying as John pulled them out of
the house and drove to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for cuts and burns.

Demons Use Ouija Board As Gateway To Take Over Soul
(The Sun, 22884) by Lewis Clifford.
Terrifying demons freed from other dimensions are preying on helpless human victims. And the gateway
used by the grotesque monsters is being kept open by innocent toying with Ouija boards and other tools of
the occult, top medical and religious experts caution.
"They are vile creatures of the night," warned Dr. Alberto Gonzalez, of the Pan American Institute of Health.
"They exist. They can possess the bodies of their victims and cause normally gentle, nonviolent people to
commit outrageous crimes. They can assume other forms some quite ghastly.
"And they are among us in many instances solely because of these sinister toys called Ouija boards."
Gonzalez, a psychiatrist and parapsychologist, claims he has found demonic links to several cases of cattle
mutilation and human vampirism in Central America.
Says the Rev. Morris Cerullo, president of World Evangelism and author of The Black Side Of Satan,
Creation House, Carol Stream, Illinois, 1973. "Many people have related to me weird tales of answers given
by the Ouija board. This and other occult games may seem intriguing, but the implications are serious and not
to be tampered with. They can lead to dangerous waters indeed.
"Use of a Ouija has even led to violence and even to murder..." Dr. Marta Prohazka of Fairfax, Virginia, is
also convinced that spirits can play terrifying destructive games with human behavior. During her practice as
psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, she realized that many patients she had considered "hallucinating
paranoid schizophrenics" might instead merely be in touch with something invisible to her but visible to
them." I came to understand that another plane, or dimension or existence interrelated with our plane or
visible manifestation," she said. "By training and expanding consciousness, some individuals gain entrance
into that invisible dimension. It seems to some like a window into heaven.
"I also learned that contact with the other dimension can be dangerous, especially if a psychically sensitive
person loses his emotional harmony. The window into heaven can then become a window into Hell."
Millions of the plastic oracles are in use in American households, nevertheless. And the eerie messages from
beyond they have spelled out have been credited or blamed for marriages, divorces, sickness, misery, mystery
or murder. Psychic and medium Anne Rose told the Sun: "Horrible demons have definitely been released by
the Ouija board.
"The Ouija board is a vehicle which makes it easy for negative spirits and demonic forces to enter this plane
of existence." The Merrillville, Indiana clairvoyant cautioned that evil spirits or demonic forces often gain the
trust of people experimenting with Ouija boards by answering several questions truthfully and providing
predictions. "Once they have gained the trust of their victims, it is easy for the entity to move in and take over
either by strongly influencing that person, or by outright possession," she said. People who are untrained and
unsophisticated in the field of the paranormal and supernatural should never play with devices such as the
Ouija board, according to the clairvoyant.
A Letter from a Reader
Just was doing some work on your site and I wanted to share something with you and maybe you can help

me. I am very sensitive about this. I went through your site and you had a warning about the Ouija board and
I have had a bad experience when I was 19 years old and I am still haunted by this. I am 49 now.
My Mom, got involved with the board when I went away for about a month. You see I was the fourth child
and kind of the loner. I was the one that went to church and had a strong belief in God. When I got back from
being away everyone but my mom greeted me outside and all were very upset and hurt. They tried to tell me
before I greeted my mom, but when I saw how she looked and how she came up to me, this was not my mom.
This woman was a stranger to me.
I went up to my room, and very tired from the trip, I laid on my bed and fell to sleep. When I got this feeling
that I was being watched, I opened my eyes and staring down at me was my mom. She was smoking in my
room which she never done before and she just gave me this look, that frightened me. She told me that "I was
protected". Looking up at her, I said, "I knew that I was and that God watches out for me everyday." She
laughed and said that I was protected but it was not by God. And I told her that I did not want protection from
anyone but the good Lord himself. She got nasty with me and left my room.
That night I heard a party going on downstairs. I looked at the clock and it was one in the morning so I got up
and went downstairs, peaked around the corner and the plastic piece on the board was going by itself and
several different voices of men and women were coming out of my mom. My mom could not get by a minute
without asking this board what to do first.
I think what bothered me the most is my dad would not do anything about it, or my older sister and brothers.
One afternoon I came home and it was so bad that I fought with her and I went out and burned it. That was a
mistake because what I saw coming out from the fire was not fire. And I remember it so well. I moved out.
My mom bought another board and lived with it until she died in 1996. My dad went to the place that she had
stored it, but it was not there.
My mom and I worked things out and she seemed to get better, but she would not give up the board. She left
me this haunting and I have to live with this. I have lived all my life with spirits and ghosts and they don't
bother me. But the board I don't like it. I know first-hand how it can take over people's lives and you are right
to say it is a door-way for things to come through. I am still working through this and if any of your readers
want to know first-hand, you can share this with them.
Thank you! Pam Frost

Please read:
I am not an expert in Ouija but do warn people against using this or any means of spirit communication
including, séances, automatic writing, etc. This is not a parlor game nor is it something for anyone to
experiment with as there are many dangers involved. I constantly get calls and emails from people who are
absolutely terrified after using the Ouija and ask for my help. Often this comes in the middle of the night,
from out-of-state and by way of adolescents.
Please do not call me for advice or how to rid oneself of what you may have conjured up through
communication with the Ouija because I really cannot help especially over the phone in the middle of the
night. My best advise has and will always be not to use this or any other form of communication! If you have
general questions about the Ouija, try Googling Ouija or picking up copies of any of the books listed in
Suggested Further Reading or email author Jennifer Arnold at the email listed. She has gone through sheer
Hell since her early experiments with the Ouija while a teenager herself. Thank you and leave ghosthunting
to the researchers and investigators!
