Communicating with the dead

[RebDoMINe]

I've been wondering a lot about this lately. Things like Ouija boards, pendulums...I'm kind of curious.

I believe people can communicate with the dead, call me weird, psycho, or stupid all you want

I hear that spirits won't talk to you if they sense a lot of fear. Anyone have any stories (good or bad), suggestions, or places I could get more information on such things?

Oooo, good topic. I love this kind of stuff.

I've wanted to get a pendulum board for awhile now... Help me out with the important decisions and the like. I don't know whether it is just tapping into your subconscious (specifically with the pendulum board) or if it's your "guardian angel" or the dead or what, but they are supposed to work and help people out a lot.

As for the Ouija board, I have one that my grandmother gave my mother. Copywrited in the early 1950's, so it's one of the really old ones. Needless to say, my grandma wouldn't let my mom even touch it when she was younger. I guess it worked for my grandma and it ended up freaking her out. I haven't used it in awhile either... Been too scared to, I guess. I don't want anything to happen. I've heard enough things not to even try...

As for information, all you have to do is go to Yahoo and type in "Ouija board" and/or "pendulum board" and you'll find a bounty of things. I'd give you some sites, but I don't have any bookmarked, sorry...

While I believe there is a spirit realm, I doubt you can communicate with the dead. Getting into ouija boards and such does open the door to a spirit world and the reason so much weirdness happens is that you are probably communicating with demons and not the local store owner from 1800's Detroit.

Hey, besides they did their time so why wake them up?

.Hey:Now:Girl.--I have heard it said that you don't actually need a pendulum board...you can use something as basic as a piece of paper. That's just what I've heard, though. And I guess you still need the pendulum.

What I was told is that if you take a piece of paper and draw something like this...

Yes
|
|
No----+----No
|
|
Yes

And swing a pendulum over it, explaining out loud that up and down is yes, and side to side is no, than it works.

Boy, I feel like one of those psychics you see on TV that you laugh at...

[.Hunting:High:and:Low.]

^^ Yeah, but I like the looks of the boards I've seen. LOL

You can also include 'maybe' diagonally, if you like...

And those psychics on tv are a totally different phenomenon than this one. I have no doubts that there are people in this world who are truly psychic, but the ones on tv... nah. At least, IMHO.

I am like you. I have been wondering but I guess a lot of things cannot be explained. I'm not really sure where you can go,but the first *website* that popped into my head is dirtnap.com (great site too )

About Ouijia boards. I am not sue I believe in such things. Though I wouldn't mind trying it out .

If you really want more info,I sugges going to unsolvedmysteries.com (not affiliated with the TV show)

[RebDoMINe]

LP_g, I'll definitely check that site out!

I'm thinking about trying automatic writing tonight. I don't know if I believe it will work, though. It seems like it would just be me thinking and writing (or typing, whatever I choose to do)...even if I don't think I'm thinking about it. But, I may as well try it.

[.Hunting:High:and:Low.]

^^ Let us know what, if anything, happens! And good luck!

I have had some scary experiences with Ouija boards. So, yes, I belive in communicating with the dead. Also have any of you seen the tv show called "Crossing Over" with John Edwards? I like it, it seems like he's for real.

You know,I have also read ( spellsandmagic.com ) that you can't just try something to see if it actually works. You have to believe in it for it to work.



~Just had to add that.

[RebDoMINe]

I've heard that too. Which is why I think spirits won't go to people who feel fear or skepticism. I think it takes a lot of energy up. I do believe in it, I'm just thinking with the kind of person I am, it might be me doing the typing. But I have read that at first, it's a lot of you, and after awhile, it's less and less of you.

As for how I did last night...? I kinda fell asleep early I'll try tonight.

^^^^^^
Wait what are you doing again??


well, I also know that for the Ouijia board (though I am not sure if it is true) That you must be with all virgins to do it. I forgot why. But I think it's because of the energy. ;D

[RebDoMINe]

I'm a virgin, haha, but I know people who aren't who have gotten plenty of success.

Sassy, will you tell us some of your Ouija experiences, good or bad? I'd be very interested hearing them, if they're not too personal for you to tell. As for John Edwards...I'm really not sure. Sometimes I think he's real, sometimes I don't. It's very hard to base a judgement on him.

And to LP_g...I'm going to try something called automatic writing. I know this sounds cheesy, but I'll explain it the best I can. Basically, you sit there with a pen and paper, or you can sit at the keyboard. You relax and divert your mind, asking that someone come talk to you. Then you just type. I hear a lot of what is typed won't make any sense or won't be spelled correctly.

I also hear that if you're writing, you often will not recognize your own handwriting. Supposedly, the spirits will write through you.

I know I'm being laughed at by people who think I'm a pseudo Miss Cleo

^^^^
Hey Miss Cleo is cool...That's why she is in jail,right?? To heolp the prisoners with their future. (haha)

Reb--I have heard of that before,so I don't think it's "cheezy" or anything,lol...

I'm a virgin too...maybe I should go bye a ouijia board now...I know a place that has one,I think.lol. ;D
