I've only messed with a Ouija board twice, but both times have left me more than a little freaked out. The first time I tried it, I was with my sister and we asked the first spirit we contacted if it knew who had killed my grandfather (he was shot in a bar he owned before we were born). It said that it did know. When we asked who did it, the spirit said "I did" and then proceeded to spell out the word 'whores' repeatedly. We immediately started singing "Jesus Loves Me" (our escape plan), and the spirit said goodbye. We destroyed the board afterward.
My second experience was VERY strange. I was on vacation in Nevada with my family to see some family friends. They happen to live in one of the oldest houses in Nevada (it was built in the 1800s). My parents sent all of us kids to sleep in the mother-in-laws quarters on the property. We made a Ouija board and tried contacting spirits but were only getting gibberish. We destroyed the board when we were done, but we never 'officially' closed the session by praying - we just forgot. So we went to bed, all in the same room. I was laying in my bed, which was situated in an alcove, lying with my eyes open. I rolled over and faced the wall and noticed a glow on the wall. It was shaped like a crescent. At first I thought it was light leaking in through a window, but I couldn't figure out how it would have gotten where it was on the wall since my bed was situated in an alcove. I placed my hand in front of it to see if I could shadow the light with my hand, but no matter what angle I held my hand, the glow didn't go away. I told my sister what I was seeing and she immediately said we all had to get the hell out of there right away. We all ran back to the main house, and felt much safer with our parents around. Turns out my sister had seen the exact same thing I was seeing on the wall next to HER bed and when I told her what I'd seen it was enough for her to decide to get the f##k out.
Nothing too life-threatening or profound, but it is enough weirdness for me to believe that Ouija boards are real and that they are NOT to be taken lightly.
