Ouija boards . A harmless board game or a direct line to the spirits?
When we think of Ouija boards we think of Hollywood movies and ghosts surrounding a circular table in a dark room filled with white candles. The Ouija board was originally marketed as a mystical oracle and as a family entertainment game were it first came about in 1886. The press spread word of this then soon after the talking board started being marketed . The creators of the board found the name Ouija through the board itself when they asked the talking board what they should call the game it then spelt out Ouija , they then asked what this meant the planchette then slid down to good luck. Ouija is supposedly an ancient Egyptian word meaning ” good luck”.
Many people believe the board can help contact spirits from loved ones and the deceased ,but just as many people who believe their is also non believers who think its nothing more than a board game . Who is right ? Do Ouija boards really open portals for any type of spirit to come through whether good or bad ,or is it simply a game where people use it to scare others. Many famous hauntings have allegedly happened because of Ouija boards including the ” Enfield haunting ” where 2 young girls played with the talking board then started experiencing paranormal activity. Did the board really cause this or where they just young kids making up a story to add to the fuel of the media frenzy? When i ask people about the board game most people have played with it before and all have suggested things have happened due to playing with it such as broken mirrors, glasses flying across the room and footsteps when no one else is in the room. A lot of people also say that they’ve played with the board and absolutely nothing has happened at all .
The Einfield haunting 1977Â
There are so many rules to be used if you want to play the game properly such as always saying goodbye , never taking your fingers off the planchette and having an open mind. It’s been suggested people can actually move the planchette without realising and you never really know if someone could be pushing it or not. If you search on YouTube their are many videos of people using the board but again their is nothing to say if it isn’t a trick or not . Either way i guess some could call it entertainment , we’re always intrigued by the unknown. Maybe some people wish so much for it to work that it actually does or just maybe it really does contact the spirits. I’ve never used one myself because i wouldn’t want to chance it ,you wouldn’t leave your door open in a city so why leave a door open for spirits ? If you are going to play the board always do it with someone who knows what their doing and never do it in your own home. It may not be real but theirs nothing wrong with staying on the safe side ,right ? Even people who don’t necessarily believe in spirits will refuse to do it as you don’t know what you’re allowing into your space. Some people believe only certain specific made Ouija boards can work and that “mass produced ” ones don’t work because of the materials their made from. A planchette moving on a Ouija board can sometimes be explained by simple science such as the ideomotor effect which is a way for your body to ” talk itself “. This is an unconscious movement were your brain can move things with the muscles in your arms and hands. Your mind can create stories making you believe this is actually happening. If you want the board to work in your mind then it will usually work. Let me know your Ouija board experiences , have you ever played yourself ? Would you ever play one and if not ,why ? Whatever you decide to do just make sure you play by the rules !

The Creepy Bridal Doll – Media Coverage – Is The Doltergeist REAL? This Morning.
The Creepy Bridal Doll | Is making waves through the paranormal field, with all media attention it comes with good and bad publicity, so lets take a look at whats been going off within the media from the start to now.
Debbie Listed a doll for sale on EBAY, which was listed as creepy doll, she states she wanted to get rid asap and wanted it out of the house but doesnt say anything about the hauntings surrounding it on ebay “which could have increased the bids of the item”
The Sun News paper then decided to do a feature on the story of the doll been haunted.
from the Sun’s news paper report other papers also jumped onto the story. The Mirror, Daily Mail, Yahoo News, just to name a few.
The Media attention did help sell the doll, of course and i dont think Debbie expected it to blow up as big as what she thought. At this stage on ebay you are not just bidding on and “alleged” haunted doll you are bidding for the fame associated with it, and is a reason it sold for so much,
Debbie could have postponed the auction and extended it until after this morning TV Show Aired The Interview. There are Pros and Cons when it comes to selling anything within the media coverage.. the instant belief is “shes just making money” and this is to be expected.
When we are paranormal magazine / ghosts of Britain decided to bid for it. We was well aware of that and that this could be indeed a made up story just like every other alleged haunted item out there of course, and its a risk we happily decided to take as a team.
Which brings us to the show “this morning Live” on ITV.
Above video is the interview which debbie did on this morning tv program, at this point the auction ended 2 / days ago for the alleged haunted doll. she briefly tells her story again but to much much larger audience and prime time TV.
Yet again this is a touchy subject when it comes to haunted items, on prime time tv, it is bound to get some stick no matter what the object, or “ghost sighting” people who watch ghost hunting programs tune into ghost hunting programs on tv late at night, they dont receive such bad publicity because the audience is well targeted and catered for. This is a day time tv show where the audience is wide and broad and most likely not even interested in the paranormal.
After the interview ended it didn’t take long for the papers to jump back onto the story but this time a different twist to their last report.
Mean While another News paper reports this…
Two totally different reports saying totally different things.. also we would like to point out how media makes things look not as they seem… and make the hype up them selves just to push a story..
On this morning show, Debbie was asked does she think its demonic, which, she replies saying
” i wouldn’t say demonic but there is something about it” later that day this morning re posts up about the doll on their fan page.
They Realise its creating alot of attention, And they Post up another segment of the already shown video on their facebook fan page.
Meanwhile after the show ended the doll was packed up and sent from this morning tv show it self to our address.
While all this media attention was circulating it was also news and hot topic within the paranormal community of course, with some people mocking and having a joke about the story. Posting up an alleged haunted packet of mints for sale for a joke and we would like to Thank you for adding to the interest for the doll.
The Doll arrived the same day they sent it. at around 6.20pm, we was shocked to get the doll so fast..Charlene from paranormal magazine said we must do a live opening of the doll when it arrives it would be good I think so thats what we planned.
Stay Tuned for more updates of when the next LIVE appearance or documentary will be surrounding this item.
Maybe you will see her LIVE today…..
