I've only "done" a Ouija board once....
I've never dabbled in this sort of thing. I've never had the need for a Ouija board or any other sort of two-way communication like that. I more set out for one-way methods--receiving messages, but not sending any out or opening the door.. I just peek through the peephole, if that makes sense. Tarot is my medium of choice when it comes to that.
In general, I think a lot of the paranormal activities are either fraudulent, mistaken, or something we do not yet understand without needing to be "spirits and ghosts"... but at the same time, I can't say for sure that those things don't happen. Just that it doesn't seem likely to me. Yet there are still experiences like the above that leave one wondering.
When I watch shows like this one... (Forgive the gimmicks on it, it is TV afterall.)

Where the family went bankrupt, multiple people terrorized, relationships torn to shreds.. all over an entity's rage. It makes me curious how people cannot believe.
But it's such a far-away thing.. I suppose no one believes things like this until an event happens to them.
Oh, come now... the stories are what we are all here for!
My youngest sister talked to people who didn't exist. Being a bit older (by 6 years), I played with imaginary friends a kid sometimes.. I knew they were imaginary, I just wanted to play by myself sometimes.. and being the extrovert I was, I had to create fake people even when I wanted to be alone.
The way my sister interacted with them was way different.. She was very young at the time, 4-5ish.. She complained that one would keep waking her up at night, and that it scared her sometimes because it just stared at her for hours while she played.
My mother and I ended up agreeing that we'd cleanse the house, and she prayed and I did what I thought I needed to do.. Eventually, after doing that for a while, my youngest sister stopped talking to anything altogether.. We never had a problem with it after that (not that it was a huge problem anyways..) My mother even had a ring of salt around my sister's bed for a week straight
so every night we broke the ring, let her in, and fixed it again.
Tarot is my medium of choice.. I wrote a story in my blog where I essentially described seeing a card that shouldn't have been there.. And then pushing my friend away from me upon telling her this, because soon after an event occured. I didn't touch the cards for years after that, up until very recently at the request of a spiritual being that had asked me kindly.
Though.. Being religious and spiritual, I suppose you can take all of this with a grain of salt. I see energies and spirits everywhere.. to me, it's common sense.
I will say, instead of Ouija boards, we played a game called 13 doors as kids. It was one made up.. but we'd essentially open doors inside of our own head, and describe what we saw inside.. and the last door, if you opened it, was suppose to be someone or something else's mind.
