Just want to hear people's opinions.

Have you ever used it? If so, what happened?

Edit:
If you think it's fake, explain.
If you think it's real, explain.

I've never used one but it is classified as a "toy" and I do not believe that kind of stuff to begin with.

I'm just going to post what I posted the last time this was brought up - with a few minor edits:

The people involved subconsciously move their hands and, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who says that they have seen something supernatural happen as a result of it is either lying or hallucinated.
Fear can make us think and feel things which aren't there, our bodies become hypersensitive when we are feeling fear and even the slightest breeze can feel like a forceful push.

The rest of this isn't so much about Ouija boards. It's just me venting about how much I hate the 'supernatural' industry.

These 'rituals' are usually done in the dark because it heightens every other sense. Hearing being the most important because everything becomes easier for us to hear.
The pipes in the ceiling, the dog barking across the field, all things that our brains usually filter out as background noise are now audible, but not recognizable, giving us the impression that something supernatural is happening.

Clairvoyants, mediums, psychics, palm readers, they are - all of them - fakes.
Scam artists looking to exploit the beliefs of common people to make money by selling their stigmatized board games and putting words into the mouths of their dead relatives and friends.

When people die, they are dead. They do not exist any more. Their body is buried and they rot. That is what we can prove and what has been proven.
If I were to tell you that I own a dragon which can tell you your future, but that it only speaks through me and that you're not allowed to see it, how would you react? You would tell me to prove it.
But when it's a medium telling someone that they can contact the dead, but only through them and you can't hear your dead relative talking, people throw money at them?

If people want their dead relatives to know that they love them then they should have told them before they died.

It's also that psychological effect - I forget the term - where you tend to feel or "see" what you want to believe. For example if your fearful of a certain type of pain, you may experience that type of pain more and for no apparent reason

There's some people who will insist that they are real but I think that they are fake.

One of my good friends told me that he actually had an supernatural experience with one but I don't believe him

It amazes me that people dont believe in the supernatural and possible forms of contact.
But yet they can believe in an almighty being that listens to them "pray" and works in mysterious ways.

I have no reason to believe it is real or otherwise.
