By Edmond C. Gruss I bought this book to better understand the way the boards and automatic writing work. It is a very closed approach to the subject with nothing but scare stories of what happened to people and why we must not turn our backs on religion. No matter what the chapter title or subject starts off with it turns into same of the more scare mongering again as you read on. I read half of it and must admit I skipped through the rest to see these patterns. I felt like if I had read it I would have been slightly brainwashed by the Christian perspective as boy does it go on. Unless you fancy turning it all in and picking up a tambourine on a saturday night AVOID this book. I was quite disturbed by it. www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0875522475/202-2231739-9540658?%5Fencoding=UTF8

Hi there Yes there are a 1000 Christian extremist books out there that try and convince you about these things being evil and "satanic" mostly they are American authors. Fear and the possibility of burning in hell for an eternity is there favourite brainwashing technique. I am not a fan of the Ouija board to be honest, as I know known people that did not have a clue about it and got into all sorts of trouble, its not because I think "Satan" is waiting to pounce and take our souls, but the inexperienced can end up in deep water if they allow someone or something into there lives without protection. The board is not evil, its just a board, but what may come though might not be so pleasant, its like leaving your front door open, mostly your get good people coming in, but sooner or later its possible that someone not so pleasant will come in and wish you harm. If you look for these scare stories online where "the devil" supposedly possessed someone, you nearly always trace the story back to some religious fundamentalist site or book, that make up these stories to try and terrify people into believing what they do, if you cant convince people by friendly asking, how better than to terrify them into believing . If you read what these religious types believe and say, it doesn’t take long to see how contradictory they are. The Ouija board is the favourite tool for Christian propaganda when slandering the occult, because the board has got a creepy scary stigma attached to it, because of Hollywood and other religious extremists throughout history. When I read or see something that has been influenced by any form of modern controlled religion I automatically see it as lies, or half truths as religion seems to be all about lies and desperately trying to control the masses with fear. Isn’t it odd that you only get stories of Satan and the devil from countries that believe in Satan and the devil? Buddhists and Hindus have been using Ouija boards for many years, but they have never have troubles with Satan, funny that it only happens to people that have had the fear of Satan drummed into them isn’t it? Take care Faeden

I think you hit the nail on the head at the end there Faeden. Its all down to what you believe and your frame of mind when doing a ouija board. If you do one just for the thrill then it will seem scary, if you think your going to get possessed you probably will but I feel these are things your mind creates. I've heard plenty of scare stories but haven't seen any solid evidence to support them.
On the subject of beliefs, did anyone see that episode of Most Haunted when they went to a castle in Holland. Apparently in the Netherlands they don't tend to believe in ghosts and the MH crew got vertually no activity there at all, interesting don't you think!
Simon.
