they aren't fake.. the picture in this thread? that was one made by the parker brothers I believe.. but that is NOT their origins... a friend of mine had an older one.. none parker brothers.... his sister messed with one... ALONE.. and she was with a psychologist for months afterwords. Now sure that sounds kinda like a chain letter response, but this is from a friend I've shared more paranormal experiences with than I can count on my two hands, to the point where I trust him completely.
Now the reason two people are required isn't so your friend can trick you by moving it himself... no, its because if its one person and you get an evil spirit.... well... think about that for a second, do you REALLY want a demon appearing and you being all alone? I think not, the second person is for both of yours protection.
I never got it to work, but the night when my sister and cousin used it, he only wanted to speak with people of a certain age... I didn't fit. We spoke to Zamps.. supposedly the devil, I suspect it to merely be a demon wishing he were of higher power. He had about 17 women he called his wenches... at which point we spoke with one of them, who really regretted all she did, but by now it had been too late. we spoke with her and zamps for a bit, and then somehow we were talking to a little girl who was murdered around the age of 12.... and then Zamps took control once more. Some freaky stuff was said. Later on, we spoke to a man known as WolfGang... oddly enough I'm related to him, as is my cousin.... supposedly that "breaks" the rules of the "game".. but its not really a game.
I'm still a little skeptical about them myself tho. I've heard a lot of things to steer me away from them... but I've never actually had the chance to test it myself. It'd be interesting to try out sometime, but seeing all I have done with my life (with the supernatural).. messing with one of those boards might get unwanted attention.
Basically put, I've had run-ins with Satan, believe me or not, I'm not here to give you lies. And messing with those boards, as i just stated, might give him a chances to fuck with my mind....
