Frictionless Ouija Boards and Inner Zombies! I think there's a Dr Who episode waiting to be written there! :)

Look forward to seeing the Ouija app - as long as it's not iphone only.

Ideomotor responses in general, and automatic writing in particular, are recognised techniques in hypnotherapy, but as far as I know no-one has suggested using a Ouija board.

It's quite interesting that you can sometimes prime the sitters with information and get specific responses during a ouija session.

Oh you can always do that!

Most of my halloween seances start out with a friendly little drink and few little handouts about a particular Pluckley ghost strategically placed around the room. It's amazing how often that particular ghost decides to say hello during the ouija session.

all i can say is, this is not news to Me, or Freddie. as you will see at Tab. :)
And the Pendulum is a much more reliable tool to tap into this, than the board, because you are only dealing with one person.

I posted this on the Magic Cafe, and of course there's already a rabid bile-spitting row brewing... :roll:

Sadly it doesn't take any psychic ability to forecast that sort of reaction :D !
