Ouija Boards?
Almost everyone knows what a Ouija Board is. Now, I’m not going to get into whether they actually contact the dead, or the dangers of if they do or not. That’s another topic. But I did want to focus on something else.

The serious people who actually use the board to contact the dead. Now, I can understand using the board for "fun" (I’m not promoting or condoning it here, I’m just saying I can understand the interest), but then there’s the people who use the board for serious contact. Sometimes people even use it on ’investigations’ of places.

Of course, the boards aren’t valid in court rooms, but lets say one WAS brought in. If you believe the Ouija board has such powers, would you be comfortable allowing information obtained from the spirit of a murder victim to be used against someone on trial for their murder? Would you be comfortable having any such information entered against you if you were on trial (for anything at all)? Most people wouldn’t be comfortable with that. Either because there’s just not enough evidence to prove the boards work, or because, if they do work, you never know what may come through.

I’m not talking about psychics or mediums or the like, but just the everyday person who uses the board seriously believing everything they receive from it (and sometimes uses it on investigations, etc). If it’s not admissible in court, then what makes spirit conversations any more valid outside of court?

Just food for thought. =)
