Just another COS story.
"another benign ghost in corner of room looking on.."
With benign spirits like this, who needs evil ones?
Geezer Butler was most likely high as a kite. Or drunk. Or both. Either way, I'd be scared too. Well, of you, at least.
I used to hear stories like that all the time when I was a fundamentalist. Some even from the first person. Eventually I realized that the people who told these kinds of stories were (gasp!) not reliable story tellers. Furthermore, I realized that some of them would add bizarre, overspiritualized details to events that I had personally witnessed, until their descriptions had no resemblance whatsoever to what actually happened.
Suddenly, all of those crazy "I knew a guy" stories didn't bolster my faith anymore...
Does this sort of story ever work?
I mean on anyone with above room temperature IQ, so I'm not including fundies in the question. I know they eat this sort of shit up.
Ouija boards are just a bunch of woo. They're completely benign, it's just all the superstition surrounding them which freaks people out. Same goes for anything else about the "occult." Add in the fact that fundies tend to be the most superstitious people on earth, and they totally believe any story like this.
Not to mention that "friend of a friend" stories usually always turn out to be total bunk. Just like I had a friend at work who swore up & down that he knew a guy who discovered that he had bought Elvis' lost motorcycle. Quick search on snopes and apparently lots of people have found motorcycles belonging to Elvis.
"Ouija boards are just a bunch of woo. They're completely benign, it's just all the superstition surrounding them which freaks people out. Same goes for anything else about the "occult.""
Oh dear. Predictable response.
Sigh.
"Not to suggest I accept the original poster's story either... "I knew a guy"... "benign ghost in corner of room" indeed.
More sighing.
I have one lying around in a box on a bookshelf somewhere. If the planchette wants to get out and slam itself against the wall, it has never said so. It has never even rattled a little. I haven't opened the box in years. Maybe I've suffocated the poor thing. I feel awful!
Actually, if the Ouija board is possessed by demons, why would it want to scare people away from it?
I'm actually willing to give most ghost stories the chance to make a case before waving them off as horseshit.
That said, "I knew a guy who told me this crazy story about another guy." isn't an acceptable case.
@whatever
"Oh dear. Predictable response.
Sigh."
So...sorry, what's wrong with the response again? It sounds like you disagree, and I'm a bit curious.
@Wehpudicabok
"also funny how you people use ellipsis after ellipsis rather than actually ending a sentence... it's totally a legitimate writing style and not at all obnoxious... "
Sorry, but I myself do that all the time. :P
@Philbert McAdamia
What are you talking about?
Stories the horrible things that happen after you use a ouija board always amuse me. It's amazing how my friends and I played with them through high school and yet have mysteriously avoided the demonic attacks, satanic possession, and general mayhem that everyone else claims accompanies them. It's cardboard and plastic. If that's all it takes to scare you, you're going to need one helluva nightlight.
"suddenly left the board in the air and slammed into a wall"
Yeah, it's called he threw the damned thing
"this same person had a evil spirit grab his throat and hold him down too with another benign ghost in corner of room looking on"
So he's into bondage in front of a third partner? So what?
I seriously wish stupid fucks like you would get punished for your lies
I know you're not going to understand this, considering your abysmal choice in religion, but "I knew a guy" is not acceptable as proof. It isn't proof when your televangelists say it. It is even less so in your case, considering you are a random douche on the internet. I cannot stress it enough, your own say-so will never be sufficient as proof, no matter how much you demand it to be. It is this exact arrogance that will be the undoing of the tyranny you lot impose on others, leon.
@NoriMori
Yes, I'm afraid I do. However, without any evidence to prove my point I cannot make a positive contribution. All I can say is I have had personal experience of phenomena (though somewhat limited), and I have some degree of psychic ability, though not developed. My father was a natural psychic back in the days when such things were not widely known about. He also had little time for religious "woo"!
I cannot prove any of my experiences, and I know there is no point in presenting anecdotal evidence, especially here on FSTDT where I am confronted with the never ending din of clashing pots and kettles!
However, thank you for expressing curiosity!
I have two wand replicas from the Harry Potter verse. I have played around with them both, but no spell makes any difference whatsoever, and the pidgin Latin that Ms Rowling uses, I can use too. I've studied Latin for two years, which is probably longer than you, Stupid, have studied the Bible.
@whatever:

A simple plea for some trace amount of evidence for an extraordinary claim is suddenly a matter of pot and kettle? I'm afraid I understand less and less of what you mean.
@Draken.
The clash of pots and kettles is not directly related to the discussion, sorry for the confusion. It's just a general background that's going on all the time on fstdt, and indeed all over the Internet wherever there are people holding discussions.
"i knew a guy who was playing around with a ouija board one time his friends and making fun of it and the pointer or whatever it is suddenly left the board in the air and slammed into a wall..."
It was just Luke Skywalker screwing with him.
When I was in high school, some kids would go to this local cemetery and see/hear all kinds of crazy shit like weird glowing spots, demonic sounds and even a monument that appeared to move. Of course they were all totally plowed each time on every drug or drop of alcohol they could get their underage hands on, probably couldn't tolerate very well and so were hallucinating their little asses off. But yeah, it was totally Satan.
That was a scene from "Amityville 3D", not reality.
That friend of a friend never knew a young Meg Ryan.
I dicked around with ouija boards all the time as a teenager, and nothing happened to any of my friends or myself. It's a gaff, just like magic 8 balls and lucky rabbits' feet. If something cool like that would have happened, I would have been thrilled, but it didn't. Anyone who claims this shit happens when you play with a ouija board is either lying or they scared themselves sensless. If demons were real, they wouldn't need a piece of card board with letters on it to fuck up your night.
dude, you're going to believe the demonic experience related by a guy that toured with Ozzy?
do you know how much drugs went on thise tours?
Did you know a computer keyboard can be converted into a ouija board? Allow me to demonstrate:
Oh, Spirits of the Other World! After I hit the Cals Lock key, I humbly as that you guide my pointer finger to spell out a message for leonethderosia!
U R A DOUCHE BAG
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
