Ouija Board – The Creepy Game

Hi everyone! It’s good to be back. Today’s topic is a lot different from the usual politics or sports. If you are a fan of horror movies or stories like me then you might find it fun and interesting to read today’s presentation because today I will be talking on one the worlds most popular horror game called Ouija Board.  

Now, some of you maybe familiar with this game or the Ouija board while others might not. Some may have even experienced playing with it but to be honest I have not tried out and given its dark side I never wish to try it out at any point of my life.

With that being said, the reason I call it a creepy game is because it is used to contact with sprits. For a fact, I love horror movies, series, stories and learning about supernatural stuff. But I understand there is a fine line between natural and supernatural things.

It may seem fun playing with it as the tool provides an opportunity to connect with the other world but at the same time it can prove to be dangerous. It’s like entering in someone’s space without permission or even allowing a spirit into your world can be more risky and fearful.

Another interesting point about the Ouija board is that, it was frequently used during and after several wars around the world particularly following the world wars as many families tried contacting their deceased loved ones.

As far as the game’s origin and description is concerned, it all began in 1890, when Helen Peters, a woman known by her family as a spiritual medium who was a devotee of the arts. She sat in the boardinghouse room of her brother-in-law, Elijah Bond, using a board and planchette https://www.google.com/).

Well ironically, Baltimore, Maryland is located in the United States but the name and description of Ouija refers to the “Egyptian Luck Board” (https://www.google.com/).

Just like rules are a feature in every game we play, the Ouija game is no different. The only fear factor is that if any of the rules are broken, it may prove to be costly for participant(s) and their loved ones. So, here are some laws that need to be followed during the cause of the game.

1. Never use an Ouija board alone: there is a risk for a spirit to easily manipulate or possess you.
2. Never use Ouija board in a cemetery: you never know what kind of spirit you might bring with you.  
3. Never burn an Ouija board: simply you will not be able to get rid of it. The board will turn up at your home, either as gift from someone or in other supernatural way.
4. Do not leave a planchette alone on Ouija board: it’s believed to be bad luck.
5. Do not ask when you will die:  I suppose it’s not a good idea as the reply might freak you out or you might get worried over it and has greater chance of influencing future decisions.
6. Always say GOOD BYE! Take the planchette to the goodbye at the bottom of the board and tell the spirits you are closing the board and none of them are permitted to follow you. This way you are protecting yourself, in case a bad spirit might try coming with you.

Lastly, materials required and method of play: for those who wish to try the Ouija board ensure to have at least two participants, so you don’t break rule number one, you need an Ouija board- a board- a board on which YES is written on the left side with NO on the right side of the board alongside numbers 1-0 and alphabets A-Z with GOODBYE at the Bottom of the board. You need a planchette (a triangular object) which will move in response to the questions being asked. A white candle is necessary to be lit prior to the start of the game, as a sign of respect to the spirits.

Finally, I hope you liked the presentation. It may be fun trying out but dangerous at the same time. So if you are thinking of trying out be very careful and my best wishes are with you. However, I personally feel such things are against the law of nature especially anything to do with finding the future is certainly we all are keen on knowing about but it can weigh heavily on s later on. So it’s best to keep going with the flow and we will find out eventually what future lies ahead of us.

Thanks for reading & watching.
