My close friend and I were reading up on witchcraft and we decided to try the Ouija Board, it worked for us. My friend said she felt the image of a young redhead girl in our presence, a small child. Anyway, one spelled nonsense, but when we asked if it was speaking another language it replied, "yes" and left. Another told us how many children we would have.
I also asked for my uncle, who recently passed away, and one tried to lie and say he was my uncle. I know he was lying because he couldn't answer any of my questions, so it left. We quit for the night.
The next day, my husband and I tried the Ouija Board again, and the spirit said it was the redhead girl from the night before. She said her name was, Soar. I wasn't so sure if it meant to cause us harm, so I asked if she meant to harm us. After a few fast movements of the planchette it went to "Yes". We quit and I threw the board in a field right after that. What do you think of this, were we in contact with a lot of bad spirits? Thanks for your time.

It is unfortunate that sometimes unwanted spirits/entities give the paranormal a "bad rap", but yet, it is a part of the paranormal. But because strange and unusual things happen often, people will continue to explore into that which has yet to be fully understood.
As you've read from our Related Accounts topics/Devices/Communicating w/Entities... you are not alone in your encounter with "bad entities". The Ouija Board is just that... a means to contact and communicate with the unknown. However, unless one is a devout believer in the paranormal, anything short of good... is considered to be "bad/evil". Unfortunately, the average user of the Ouija Board, is not familiar with the correct procedure in using the board to contact the "spirit/entity" of choice.
Usually, an entity or entities who happen to be in the area (at the time the board is being used), will be drawn to the board and will reply to questions put forth. Because the user did not specify which entity/s they wanted to communicate with, "you get what you get". Although an entity may say that it will cause you harm... that is not always the case, but because the word "harm" is associated with something bad or evil, the user automatically will accept what the entity said.
Do not be afraid of the Ouija Board. People have been trying to contact loved ones, friends or someone famous, on the other side since the earliest of time. There are other devices available to communicate with entity/s... try them (pendulum, dowsing rod, psychic etc) and find one that you are comfortable with. Don't give up... we all need to understand what we don't know much of... and experience it for ourselves. If you are afraid that something evil or bad will happen... then don't attempt to contact entities because you are probably not ready. For those of us who have been at this for some time, you will hardly ever hear us mentioning "bad spirits/entities". It is not because we wish not to scare anyone (by projecting that only good entities exist - which is not true), but it is because we started from scratch... trial by error... and then finding the right combination that seem to produce logical and positive results. Like a wild animal who senses that its prey is afraid... so will an entity sense that the user is afraid... who do you think will win in the end?
As you often hear from the religious community... "If you trully believe, then you have nothing to fear. For the Lord will protect you". Then why would the Lord stop protecting you just because you are seeking knowledge and an understanding of something yet to be understood. If you think it is because it is evil... then it is not true... meaning, the Lord would continue to protect you.

Sorry if this sounds long winded... We are merely trying to give you encouragement to continue and not give up. Be strong and believe. Should you decide to try using the Ouija Board again, I wish you success. Send us an email of your experience ... good or bad.
