Hello everyone, i'm looking forward to do some research on the wigi board for science, this is because some claim the wigi board is used to open doors for evil spirits from the afterlife. Users who're reading this: Do you believe in this? If you don't know what a wigi board is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija

I'm just wondering if this is real or not, ******ing this question wasn't as much help at all. Hell, not everything someone puts on their website are true. So,

"Do you think wigi boards are evil?"

Make sure you read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija before you act like know what you're talking about.

Ive tried this once but its because the people are scared, so they move it without knowing, or something like that.

Oh look in that wiki, says here:

The unconscious thought process may produce an answer that is different from what the user expected in their conscious thought process—thus perpetuating the idea that the board has "mystical powers". The Penn & Teller: Bullshit! episode on Ouija Boards ran an experiment using unbiased participants. Questions were being asked to the late William Frawley showing solid "Yes" and "No" answers. The participants were then blindfolded and the board was turned 180 degrees without their knowledge. With continued questioning, the planchette then traveled to bare areas of the board where the participants believed the "Yes" and "No" marks were located, but in fact were not.

Thanks for answering, you seem brave for testing out what people are scared of, like me.

But what about this:

Most believers of this notion believe that the board has no intrinsic power in and of itself, but rather, is used simply as a tool to facilitate the communication of a medium with the spirit world.[9]
