As a teenager we too fooled with the Ouija board, but one time particular stands out in my memory from many years ago. I think it was late sixties, we were at a family get together and us younger cousins were in the basement and started a Ouija board session. We "detected" something and started asking questions, we asked for a name and we spelled out "Tuttle", none of us knew any Tuttle's and nobody around the neighborhood with that name. We asked the board if they were there and it said, yes, we asked if they could see us, and it said yes, so we all freaked out and got out of there. I think about a week later, we tried to contact Tuttle again, but nothing happened. For some reason that session is stuck in my memory and we joked about it for years. Of course, that happened many years before the internet, so one day, a few years ago, I was bored and and it came to mind so I did an internet search for "Tuttle". As it turns out, there were families with that name in the area during the 1600's and 1700's, and with just a little research I found through marriages that some of the names of local roads associated with families with connections to Tuttle. Now that's spooky!

I did as a teenager. NOTHING GOOD CAME OUT OF IT.

Personally, I would not go near one.

Ever,

Played spirits board back in teens. The kind that all of us place our middle finger on a small dish and ask question, I was skeptical and sure that someone deliberately moving it. Just pure fun for me.

I will never touch one again.

Back in the 60s a group of women friends and I got together to use one. The object would move around the board and point to letters, spelling out things. We were to just have our fingers over the pointer, not touching it. I told them that I thought that they were touching it and therefore, moving it. So I said that I wanted to do it alone. I place my fingers over the object without touching it and kept my eyes opened. I made sure that no one else was touching it. I asked a question and the pointer moved away from me at a fast speed and stopped and turned at a letter.

There was just something ever uncomfortable about it, and later on a psychic came on TV and said that they were dangerous. I had stopped using it before then.

Maybe one of you was manipulating the pointer with a magnet under the table?

Yes, and was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I was 14 and home alone using it. A little while into it, I started hearing stomping up the stairs and across the upstairs. I stopped because I was obviously scared ****less, when all of a sudden I felt something go past me, making this horrifying, demonic sounding laugh. I ran out of the house and wouldn't go back in until my brother got home from school.
