Do you really think ouija boards work?

If not then explain reasons

No, they don't. I did it once with my friends when we had a little gathering. Nothing happened, therefore its bs.

No they don't, and I don't think I even need to provide a reason, I assume everyone knows

As in contacting the dead? No, because if they did, someone would have won a Noble Prize or two using them.

As in making people pay quite a bit for a board with some printing on and a pointer? Yep, it's made plenty of money. Which is what it was intended to do.
Aren’t they made by the same people that make monopoly or some other board game like that :laugh:

Ehhh i think it's possible; my dad told me a story about it once. He said when he was a teenager he and his friends decided to try it, they lit candles and everything. They asked a few questions, none of which he could remember, but after a while, he said the toughest and most rebellious of their 'friend' group suddenly walked out. When he confronted him about it, he said whilst trembling that he saw an eye in the candle...
Idk, i believe it, but i'd never try it myself. I feel like there's a lot more to this world than what we think, but that could just be me being cryptic ^_^

Worst case scenario we inspire a “real life ghost stories” type biopic of our tragic deaths. Worth it. :iiam:

Some jury folks used it for a trial decision, if it worked, the law would have allowed it ;p

Do it. You also need a black guy and incompetent cops, and a deformed inbred 3rd cousin who comes out to 'play' with his axe if you awaken him with the ouija board.
Yes. My friends and I were all about 6 years old when my uncle bought in a Ouija board and we all sat down and did it. The ghost spelled out "show your penises to uncle Terry".

Not a bit. It is likely caused by the Ideomotor effect:

Tbh if it could actually contact the dead it should be the type of thing only multi-millionaires could afford.
