Poll: Ouija Boards True or False?

[Mage]

Many people have heard of the Ouija Board and most do not believe in it until they have tried it out. Personally, I have never tried one but I don't think it is completely false, but neither do I say that it is true. Do we have anyone here who has tried one? Is it real? Is it fake? Only one that has used one before, can answer our question.

False, check out Pen and Tellers episode on them.

what are you, nine?

It's just a question. Some people do believe in them so I wanted to see who on 8WR did or didn't. Curiosity I think is the word you are searching for, my faithful friend.

It's fake...

Only morons believe in ghosts/supernatural/life after deaths and all that nonsense.

Fence sitting FTW. Pleased to meet you my fellow fence sitter. At least, I might be kind of sure that I am. I haven't fully decided yet.

Okay, for those of you that didn't take Jeuce's advice, I'll give you a footnotes version on why the oujia board is bullshit.

The Ouija board works because of a human reflex called the ideo motor response. Basically, the idea is that you're subconsciously controlling your body movements just by thinking about doing something. In the case of the ouija board, you're asking the question aloud to the "ghost" and you answer it yourself by subconsciously moving the little letter selection thing to whatever you think or know the answer to be. No ghosts involved, just your own biology.

If there IS something out there, the ouija board isn't making you talk to anyone.

 

[damn-I-Suck]

ouija boards are bullshit. But then again, I'm an atheist, so of course I don't believe in any of that supernatural crap.
