About a year ago, me and my friend were messing about with a ouji bourd we made. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life. Since then, everything seemed different, for a while i thought i was going crazy.

When i found this site, i thought i would look up some things about ghosts and ouji boards. But, a few minutes ago, i felt really cold, i felt sick and i am shaking just now. i know it sounds crazy but i think something is trying to stop me from looking this up.

Just a suggestion, but it could be your own fears about what you might find. Just relax...your body works with your mind, and when fear is at the forefront...it can cause the feelings you're talking about.

Why don't you start by telling us what happened? Or if you don't feel comfortable with that yet...at least give us some idea of what frightened you so badly. There may be other explanations for what happened to you..but either way, we would like to help you if we can.

Ok, the incidents with the ouji board, i cant remember all of it. We were just messing about. My friend lived in a big house, we thought it was haunted so we decided to try using a ouji board. Many times we just had a go and "played by the rules" that i had looked up on the internet. For a couple of months, i went to his house often and had conversations with haunts. Once though my friend decided to take a risk and he burned it. i had heard stories about that so i really freaked out. After that we stopped.

Maybe one of your friends remembers more about it. I know it might not be a subject you would want to talk about with them..but it might help you find some answers if everyone had the same things happen. Try comparing notes and see what happened.

As far as burning it...I too have heard that it isn't a good idea. And my own opinion about the board is that in and of itself..it isn't evil. Now it could be that with all of the ideas that were had...if something strange did happen, it would immediately be looked at as being caused by the board.

Without more details I can't really advise you as to what happened in this instance...but I do believe that something frightened you very much. I would suggest drawing on whatever you believe the source of positive energy is...surround yourself with it. And certainly keep us posted on anything you remember or find out.

Calgaman - Please try and not worry or panic. I know it's easier said than done, but remember that as soon as we start to fear something, our mind can really start playing tricks on us or can even make a situation feel a lot worse than it actually is. As Scarygirl said, try your best to relax.

The thing to remember is right now you are here, you are doing well. You are safe and are able to talk to us about what you are going through. So take a deep breath. You have support here and I'm sure you'll get some great advice from members here who know a lot about Ouija Boards etc.

There are a LOT of horror stories circulating on the internet, and whilst I am a believer in spirits and also a believer in being able to contact them, there are thousands of cases all over the world that are nothing more than exaggeratted stories designed to frighten people. For most people, nothing probably happens at all! Don't forget - people can say anything on the internet, it can be full of lies. Don't trust any scary horror stories you come across. I recommend you dwell on yourself and your experience alone. Nobody else's. There will always be people telling you that bad things will happen but you are here and getting help and support- this doesn't have to be a bad experience for you now.

May I ask some questions: Has anything paranormal in nature happened since you used the Ouija board? Have you seen/heard anything weird? Or is a lot of your fear associated with the memory of having used one?

Try to be calm and positive. Maybe you are just feeling bad about having used one? Guilt can mess with our minds! Draw a line under the experience - just promise yourself you won't use one again and say a prayer of protection if it'll put your mind at ease.

Feel free to share your feelings though - everyone here is so supportive.

Hey Calgaman... I like what scarygirl67 said just relax and you can even ask it to leave in a firm voice. This will do two things... One it will make you feel better and help take back part of your life what has been disturbed by this. And it might show the possible entity that hey you are bothering me back off a bit. I know that most people believe like again what scarygirl67 said "that in and of ...itself isn't evil". I believe this as well... I think of a ouji board as a way to focus questions and answers, just a tool. I have used other "tools" too do this like other people on this forum has. The biggest thing it to NOT think of it like every Hollywood movie out there. If there is something near you or your friend it isn't trying to hurt you. It might be just trying to communicate. You guys have picked up the "phone" (the ouji board) said hi anyone there? Now this might be saying hi who are you?

Thank you. I have been trying to relax and i am feeling better. I can remember we nearly always used the ouji board in the nursery. It is a really old house and now that i think about it, that was a terrible room to choose.
A few strange things happened then. I can remember the time that we burned it. My friend asked some stupid questions. "are you evil?" "do you want to kill?" "who do you want to kill?" The replies were, "yes" "yes" and then before it could answer my friend stopped and set it alight in the garden. When my friend was burning it, we both heard a scream, it was quite, but it sounded so real. it was a womans voice. whilst it was burning i felt really powerful. it felt as if i was absorbing something. i was in shock for an hour or 2.
i have come to think that because it was the nursery, that maybe it was a woman who died giving birth. It would explain the screaming. Thats as much as i remember. thanks

I'm glad you were able to tell us something more about it. I can certainly understand why you are concerned.

Do you still talk to the friends that you tried this with? Do you know if they are having any strange experiences and feelings as well?

I won't claim to have all the answers or be able to help you even...but we are here to listen and talk you through some of it if you would like. I am certainly sending you all of my positive thoughts and hope you're feeling better.
