NUPO and the Board

After much discusion and debate, the two of us got ahold of an Ouija Board. Now, most people know about the Ouija Board. It is a game mass produced by Parker Brothers. Its name simply means Yes, Yes in French and German respectively. They seem to be synonymus with demon possession, mainly due to the appearance of one in "The Exorcist." Some people believe that the board is moved by ghosts or spirits, while others say it is simply the ideomotor effect. The ideomotor effect is when you unconciously move a body part. This can be illustrated by simple things, like being burned, flinching, or crying when sad.
Those that claim spirits use the board, claim that the spirit slightly influences the board, spelling out things and answering the questions
Either way, there is a lot of superstition and myths about the boards. Many claim that they are dangerous, that evil demons pose as helpful spirits, and trick people into posession. Some of the myths around the boards include:
1. The board must be "closed" properly or evil spirits will remain behind to haunt the operator.
2. Never use the Ouija when you are ill or in a weakened condition since this may make you vulnerable to possession.
3. A Ouija Board will scream if you try to burn it. People who hear the scream have less than thirty-six hours to live. There is only one proper way to dispose of it: break the board into seven pieces, sprinkle it with Holy Water then bury it.
Three things never to ask a Ouija board: Never ask about God. Never ask when you are going to die. Never ask where the gold is buried.
Is this true? do 95% of people who use Ouija Boards suffer major bad luck as one occultist claims? Are those who use its lives forever cursed? Well, there was only one way to find out.
About 12:30 Am on the 13 of January, 2008 myself and Marty turned on our cameras and used the board. We used it twice, with about a 30 minute pause between sessions. The second session I will post later, the first session went like this
Me: Is there anyone here in the room with us?
-pointer moves to YES-
Me: how many are with us?
-pointer moves to 3-
Me: Can you tell us your name?
-pointer moves to Q and stops-
Marty: Q? what does it mean by that?
-pointer moves to Goodbye-
Me: Well, that was anti-climatic. Is there anyone else here who will talk to us?
-pointer moves to YES-
Me: So we can speak to you better, will you please spell your name for us?
-pointer spells out E-R-R-I-N-
Marty: So, Errin.(at this point we spent a few minutes noting, that even a slight amount of weight on the pointer on either side caused it to tip. only the lightest touch kept it flat)
Me: Errin, are you female?-pointer moves to yes-
Marty: How old are you Errin?
Pointer moves to 2-3
Me: are you 23? (clarifying)
Pointer: D-E-P-E-N-D-S
Me: Depends on what?
Pointer: W-H-Y
Me: you want to know why we're asking if your 23?
Pointer: NO
Marty: what do you mean it depends why?
Pointer: T-V
Me: that doesn't make any sense...
Marty: When you say TV do you mean television?
Pointer moves to the top corner, the picture of a sun.(we moved it back to the center)
Me: are you playing a joke on us?
Pointer: P-2 (pointer suddenly stops)
Marty: hello? (at this point one of the camera's starts trying to focus on something, pulsing crazily)
Me: Are we still talking to Errin?
Pointer stops between F and G
Me:It's not very nice to play pranks on us
Pointer: T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Me: Who's in Trouble? are We in Trouble? (no response) Errin, are you in Trouble?
Pointer moves to the picture of the sun
Me: is your son in trouble?
Pointer: N-U
Me: Errin, does somebody not want you to talk to us?
Pointer: D-E-A-T-H
Marty: what do you mean when you say death?
Pointer: Goodbye
Marty: How many are with us now?
pointer: 9-7-5-3-4-2-1(here we discuss how that sounds like a familiar phone number)
Me: is that a phone number?
Pointer: No
Me: is that the number of spirits present?
Pointer: 5 (almost 6)
Me: just to clarify, not that Ii think you are stupid, there are 5 spirits present with me and Marty?
Pointer: YES
Me: thank you. Do we know any of you spirits?(my dog suddenly jumps up and starts staring in the corner)
Marty: Is it... What is your name?
Me: Better yet. The first person who knows us, please spell your name
Pointer: U-R-E-R
Marty: are you giving us initials?
Pointer: Yes
Marty: please give us your initials again
Pointer:R-E-F
Me: will the next person who knows us, please spell their name?
Pointer: S-T-W
Me: were you also giving us your initials?
Pointer: I-Goodbye
Me: is there all the people who know either me or Marty?
Pointer moves to Goodbye, and the other camera starts focusing crazily.
Marty: I think we are done for the night.END OF SESSION
