Well, it's hard to say for sure. Some people believe they are real because they've had some really freaky experiences while using the Ouija board. But others think it's all in the mind, just the power of suggestion. I've heard stories where the board spelled out things that no one could have known, which makes you wonder.
In my opinion, the so - called 'true' Ouija board stories are often a mix of overactive imaginations and the spooky atmosphere that surrounds the use of the board. When people are in a state of anticipation and fear, they might misinterpret normal events. For example, the planchette might move slightly due to involuntary muscle movements, but in a dark, scary setting, it can seem like something supernatural is at work.
There are many so - called scary true Ouija board stories out there. Some claim that the board has contacted evil spirits that have caused harm to those involved. However, from a scientific perspective, there is no evidence to support the idea that the Ouija board can actually communicate with the spirit world. It could be that people's subconscious minds are influencing the movement of the planchette, leading to seemingly spooky messages. Also, the stories might be exaggerated over time, adding to the overall sense of scariness.
A group of teens used a Ouija board in an abandoned building. They were shocked when the planchette spelled out 'danger'. They heard strange noises after that and ran out of the place. It could be that they were just spooked by the creepy location and their own fear made them believe the Ouija board was real.
One scary Ouija board story is about a group of teens who decided to use it in an old abandoned house. They started asking questions and the planchette began moving on its own, spelling out a name they didn't recognize. Later, they found out from an old neighbor that a person with that name had died in the house under mysterious circumstances. It was really spooky.
I think some of the stories are real. I mean, too many people have had strange experiences with Ouija boards for it to be all superstition.
I think it's a mix. There are a lot of psychological factors at play. People's fear and expectation can make them believe they're experiencing something real. However, there are also stories where there are no obvious explanations. For instance, a family had a Ouija board session and right after, their pets started acting really strangely, like they were seeing something the humans couldn't. So it could be that there is something more to it than just superstition.
Many people believe they are true. Think about it. When multiple people are involved in a Ouija board session and they all witness the same strange things like the planchette moving in a way that seems to be controlled by an unseen force, it's hard to just dismiss it as a made - up story. Also, there are reports of people getting information through the Ouija board that they couldn't have known otherwise. However, some might argue that it could be the power of suggestion at play. But still, there are enough stories out there that seem to suggest there's more to it than just coincidence.
Some people claim that during Ouija board sessions, they've had strange experiences like the planchette moving on its own. It could be due to the ideomotor effect, where subconscious muscle movements cause the movement, rather than any supernatural force.
There was this story where a girl used the Ouija board alone. She asked if there were any spirits present, and the planchette moved to 'yes'. Then it started spelling out the name of a dead relative she didn't know much about. As she continued, she felt a cold breeze and got really scared. She never used it again because it was such a terrifying experience. It made her wonder if there were actually unseen entities she was communicating with.
I think it's a bit of both. There are definitely a lot of urban legends surrounding Ouija boards that have been exaggerated over time. But then, there are also accounts from people who seem sincere in their experiences. For example, people who claim to have had objects move on their own or heard voices after using the board. It's hard to say for sure if it's all true, but it's fascinating and scary at the same time.
There was a story where a girl used the Ouija board alone. She asked it if there was a spirit present, and it spelled out 'yes'. Then it started to spell out her name in a really creepy way. She felt like something was watching her and she couldn't stop the planchette from moving. She was terrified and never used it again. It was so scary because she was all alone and the experience seemed so real to her.
One scary story is about a group of friends who used a Ouija board. They started getting messages from 'a lost soul'. Suddenly, the planchette moved on its own and spelled out a warning about danger in the house. Later that night, one of them heard strange noises and felt a cold presence. It was really spooky.
