Is doing a Ouija board a good idea ?

In all honesty OP, why would you want to anyway? Yh fair enough its spooky, but actually think about it - what could possibly make it move? Its not metal, so no sort of magnetic field...even if its not demons/ghosts, its weird ish nonetheless

I mean of all the stories you've heard, no one has come back and said "hey lads, that Ouija board was great fun[I/]" have they? So no...just to be on the safe side

A group of 4-8 of us are considering playing Monopoly together for a laugh. None of us are bankers , but are all fairly open-minded to it. We're thinking of doing it in a branch of Natwest for the true atmosphere. Or theres a woods by us where someone hung themselves after a dodgy investment fell through, and theres a tiny building in there we could do it in,that could be freaky too !

We all got really excited till our Economics teacher, who even though isnt a capitalist herself, said its a really bad idea to mess around with stuff we dont fully understand , and that there could be terrible consequences.

Is she just fear-mongering or should we genuinely be concerned with doing it ? Anyone here done it themselves and have anything to share ? Or any advice at all ?

The ideomotor effect and/or a guy hidden behind the curtain with a stick if anyone sees things moving.

Maybe because nothing happened..

Do it, and get back to us

Depends what you believe. Personally though, I wouldn't. Know someone who got pretty messed up when she fooled around with something she didn't fully understand and that put me off plenty, regardless of whether anything actually happens when you do it. I'd rather not find out.

Edit: yeah, thought I'd get negged for this...

What really interests me is that I've heard the most terrifying accounts from people I know wouldn't lie, and people I know who would've been in a similar position to me in the sense that they're not religious, and some were even incredibly sceptical of it at first.

Many have told me stuff that's happened which people cant just put down to the ideomotor effect. I've been told of the little thing moving by itself with nobody touching it, and even heard one account of the table levitating off of the floor. The only sceptical explanation you can really come up with for that is that people let their imagination get the better of them, which I know is still a plausible explanation, especially when a combination of being very tired and paranoid kicks in .

Some people have mentioned filming it in their comments, think this would be a good idea then ? Or if these demons/ghosts/whatever did exist, would this further aggravate them , or even do the opposite and make it less likely for anything to happen ?
