ouija boards

Just saw a tweet and thought it may be interesting to share,a true story of POWs who scammed their way out of prison by pretending to be mediums. https://twitter.com/DHBJones/status/915942395145015297/photo/1

Trying to research the ideomotor effect and I am continually coming across references to the use of the Ouija board being linked to the onset of mental illness. A lot of this is probably just silly woo superstition, stories about somebody's mother's sister's friend, usually based on the idea...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FftxiVzfFvs I haven't had time to watch this yet so I figured that this might hold interest to the folks here at JREF. Posts and comments are welcome.

After reading some of the replies to my threads dealing with this paranormal issue, I came across the following from Cuddles: Good point. Since the blindfold thing doesn't work, for the reason mentioned above, what we could use is a new wave of different experiments to test this game. This...

I made a short PowerPoint presentation describing several experiments that one can try out to test the paranormal powers of the Ouija Board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ3bvX8ToTg Now, since this is my first video, I want honest opinions about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cma5Zn7xrWU Just wanted to let the forum members know about this video. From the video description: I'll let the rest of you answer that. Also, I came across this other video that may hold some interest to the folks here...

Just to let you know, I've written this essay during late evenings so my grammar, puncuation or others will not be at its best. Basically, this essay is just a draft. If there's any problems in my article, please let me know. Posts and comments are welcome. OUIJA BOARDS What is it with the...

I was watching P&T's BS on Youtube concerning the Quija boards and someone in the comments section asked, "But what about the planchettes that fly off the board by themselves?". I answered that such incidents might have been faked. Well he wasn't having that and even called me a moron, wow...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve43kmfMKCc&feature=related In this video by shazoolo, he askes his viewers to reconsider the usage of a ouija board but, instead of resorting to naturalistic explanations for the ouija board he warns of its supposed paranormal powers. Now, I'm not railing against...

We had the 10:23 Project, a mass "overdosing" of homeopathic cures to gain public awareness, and Boobquake, scantly-clad women gathering together to draw the public's eye (in this case, they were probably more successful...) to test an Inranian cleric's untrue hypothesis about the cause of...

Ouija boards seem to work best when the surface is finished to a very high polish. The less friction there is, the better the users can preserve the illusion that they're not pushing on the thing. This, however, is the 21st century, and we can improve quite a bit on 19th century parlor tricks...

Hi all, I've been primarily a lurker for awhile now, but thought you all might get a kick out of an experiment I've been undertaking (or not). I have a fairly strong ideomotor response and was curious to try something out with a "ouija" board (I can get that little planchette to move all over...

Has anyone seen the footage of John Lennon, reading a letter from a fan who claimed to have information from a Ouija board, warning that he'd be assassinated in New York ? And claiming that the source for his information was Brian Epstein ? If so, what are your thoughts on this matter...

I got an antic ouija for my birthday a few years ago and have used it a few times got some answers that did pan out and some that were just nonsense. Anyway a few nights ago i had some friends over and one of them was a bit scared of it we tried to explain to him that it may not be ghosts but...

Im pretty sure this has been brought up many times before but i was curious as to what kind of responses i would get. In accordance with the challenge would a Ouija board user fall under this category? I for one cannot ever get the dam thing to work, but i have watched my mother many times sit...

I haven't seen this video before, so perhaps you haven't either. It made me laugh so I'm sharing it anyway. It's Yvette Fielding being less-than-honest during a ouija board session. I wonder how that programme manages to keep going - surely any credibility it might have had must be shot to...

One detail of this test that was present in the Achau Nguyen test but I do not see in this protocol is the requirement that none of the words be easily mistaken one for another. Is this necessary for this test?

Im currently in discussion on Supernatural world forum regarding Ouija boards(URL at the end)and I wondered if any claims had ever been tested scientifically.Or a test set up and results published. I would have thought it would be so easy to do,that someone must have done it. ;) ouija

A search on the internet gives somewhat mixed results. Anyone know which of the many, many different claims are worthy of attention? It seems they generally agree that from crystallinks But is there historical precedence for the Ouija board (obviously, not precedence that it worked, but...

I don't believe that Ouija boards do anything paranormal. That said, who on here believes that Ouija boards can "work" without any party consciously moving the pointer? (I certainly do.) It's been YEARS since I played with one...but I had a few interesting things happen with Ouija boards back...
