Basically it is sitting in a dark room with a buddy, your fingers lightly touching the cold plastic of the planchette, the candlelight glow offering just enough light to see the letters on the board, dead still, for 40 minutes...

That's when you box the game back up, put it on the shelf, and never play with it again.

I will forever equate my Ouija experience to watching mold grow on a piece of stale bread.

Agreed. I seriously could never quite understand the point of the Ouija board. I mean, I thought they were cool, and just like anything like that, I WANTED to believe they would really work. But, it is just too hard to believe something like that is actually real, and my personal experience never made me believe otherwise. LOL!

The one thing I never quite understood... so is the whole point of a Ouija board that somebody is supposed to be in on it, and they are intentionally moving the pointer? Or is it some kind of physical thing where the way you hold it actually makes it move without anybody realizing it? Because, if the whole point of the Ouija board is just that somebody is supposed to be in on it and move it so everybody else thinks it is actually real, then that seems a little lame if you ask me. LOL! That would get old fast.
