I see some HEATED debates over the risks of “toying” with ouija boards in Halloween/horror groups I follow and I just want to say a ouija board is literally a toy for kids and if polterghosties existed I’d still seriously doubt that a piece of wood invented by Milton Bradley is a real magical conduit to their dimension

“nooooo dont listen to OP dont fuck around with a ouija board youll opEn PasSageWAys nAwt MeAnT fOr hUmaN ComPreHEnsiOn~”

Caaaalm down there, Lovecrafts. A weejy board doesn’t even work right with all participants blindfolded. The plastic thingamadoodle is only moved around by your own hands no matter how much it feels like it isn’t.

Why?

Because that’s how the human brain works and keeps you alive. It is absolutely full of protocols to move your body without your conscious input. This is the reason you don’t just fall over as soon as you stop thinking about standing upright.

If ouija boards had supernatural powers then the hasbro factory would just be pouring goat blood out the windows 24/7. All the employees heads would be whirling around continuously barfing like a bunch of demon lawn sprinklers. Toys R’ Us would have had to close down decades earlier than it did when the entire board game aisle started eating children’s hands.

Fun little fact victorians viewd spirit seances as a form if entertaiment back when spiritualism was really popular, obvioulsy the ghost knocking to communicate was just the medium secrectly tapping on the table. So really use quija boards to your hearts content

What was really funny about this is knowing that houdini spent his time proving that this wasnt real and but said that when he died he would try to reach out. If he didnt that meant that he was right.

Meanwhile the Autor of Sherlock holmes thought it was real of all people, he even wrote a story where his other totally logical scientist character found proof ot was real
