Ouija boards counting down by themselves.....

4/5/2013

  QUESTION. Hi, this is probably a silly question, but I was reading through all of your archived questions (great stuff by the way) and noticed on the question you were asked about the dangers of ouija boards that you mentioned that if the board starts to count down the letters or numbers to end the contact immediately. Is there any particular reason behind this?

There is, but to be honest I'm not sure how much credence I actually give it. It is popularly believed that if the ouija board counts down through the numbers or the alphabet by itself then it is opening a portal through enabling spirits to come through the board and inhabit the world.
I'm a bit sceptical, despite the fact that this is a very widely held belief. I can't really see why or how this would work and as a ouija board is effectively acting as a portal anyway then I can't see what difference a spirit demonstrating a good working knowledge of the alphabet would achieve.....

However, if my board ever decides to do this (and it never has) then I would certainly close it immediately*. Sometimes it is prudent to bow to the wisdom and experience of others, even if you retain an element of healthy scepticism. Better to be safe than sorry. And if a spirit did manage to come through the board (can you hear the doubtful tone of my typing there...) then it would be harder to deal with than a spirit that stayed on the right side of the board. Not worth taking the risk.

*I think I would. I've got a bit of a gung ho...I wonder what will happen attitude. Lol

My board is currently doing this. It started at 9 the first time (weeks ago), that was all. Then 2nd session, went to 8 and 7. 3rd Session was 6, 5 and 4. 4th session the planchette moved to G and T (whatever that means?) - however - I just used it then and planchette went straight to 3, and then upon asking why the numbers are counting down, the planchette moved to 2. I immediately ended the session, said goodbye and the planchette moved to "good" not technically "good" and then "bye".
I am scared to use my board again in case it goes straight to number 1, haha!! Maybe I should Sage my house :)

Me,my sister in law and my boyfriend just encountered a spirt counting down through the alphabet and the numbers. It also kept spelling out die and as soon as that happened we ended the session and put the board away

My friend Keira have played the Ouija board multiple times but there was never been anything super scary. Yet today 12/23/19 we are having a sleepover and basically we pulled out her Ouija board and we played for a bit when we started talking to this spirit Named Abby who said to us that there was some evil spirit watching us. I was terrified and then we asked to talk somebody else and it said yes. We began talking to that other person and when he was going to ask Keira a question he was cut off. This spirit named BABA had now come into contact with us. He started by counting up the numbers. We went to say goodbye but I asked who it was talking with us and that was when he told us his name. Keira then asked where the other spirit go and BABA started counting down the numbers on the board. We said goodbye immediately and now we don't wanna touch that board ever again

I installed the game on my computer and when I asked if it was nice, the screen gliched and it started to count down. Her name was "Carrie", she is 88 years old.
