Did any one see most haunted last night i was totally amazed by the way they all put there fingers lightly on the table and each time a question was asked supposedly to the spirits the table would turn around and tilt and swirl around the room .As any one ever been on a board or tried the table topping did it work curious .x

I wish they wouldn't do that as it has been faked many a time. I believe in Derek Acorah's gift as a medium when he's on. But when people start doing things like that which do seem redicuolus (to me) people will start to question. (Table Topping I mean) The boards- Stay well clear. Stories about them boards. Scary.

Hi JAYNE, Yes, I`ve tried it, ( ouija board )although many years ago,and I must admit,it was very frightening. I`ve been told since,that it`s not the thing to do,unless with a professional.And, yes, it does work. My advice,,,,don`t try it. Baz xx

hi its some thing that as always facinated me my dad was a sailor years ago and he always told me never to dabble with things you dont know about as he has been on the board years ago and it worked and every one else says the same thing DONT DO IT I never would i think every one else as scared me lol very curious thoughi love to hear other peoples stories about it The ouija board sounds a very negative experiance though i have never heard any body talk positive about it .

Thought Most Haunted was brilliant last night. I really believe they are getting more tuned into it the more they do. Don't think I'd want to do a ouijea(?) board. Table tipping was pretty spectacular. Diane ps new series is on living in a couple of minutes

i watched it but had too turn over at about 1130 as it was freaking me out. me and my daughter could hear the voices on the background that people mentioned. if i was in a room and the table moved id be out of that room in a flash. but i am fascinated by it all. i always leave spiritualist church wanting more messages, ( if only mum would give me more confirmation, i often say)

Whatever you do DON'T DO IT. There are good spirits and there are bad. Ouija boards attrach the bad and you can have a lot of trouble getting rid of them once they have been called. I'm not putting the reasons why on here but if you want to e-mail me then I will tell you. Please don't dabble in something you know nothing about. Jo.

Ouija boards do work,they are evil ( in my opinion).I say this having stupidly took part in one a few years ago.Very scary things happened that cannot be explained away.Please don't do it, Wendy

ouija boards shouldent be messed with,you dont know what youll be inviteing into your home,ouija boards attract the nasty spirits,useually those that were nasty in life continue to be nasty in spirit. a visit to a medium or clairvoyant is the best thing if your intrested in contacting spirits.but be carefull there are a lot of fakes that will just take money and tell you nothing,on the other hand there are some very strong phychics out there,i visit one who was able to tell me where my late father in law was buried,she named the gravestone next to him and all sorts of detail,and we'd been searching for 23 years to avail and she got it all 100% right,i owe alot to her for the finding him for me,i visit her regulary now. any one else had good experiences with phychics????????

We used to play at making our own ouija boards when we were little but now I am older I would never do it. I'm not convinced that there's no such thing as bad spirits. On a lighter note my mum, older sister and her friend and me made our own board with bits of paper for the letters etc. We sat in candlelight and we did the, "Is anybody there?" bit giggling to ourselves. We were horrified when there was a loud banging on the lounge door and a voice shouting, "Hellooo". Nearly had a heart attack but it was just our neighbour who sold fruit & veg from her van!! Elfx

OK, here we go again, I always have to say the opposite to everyone else don't I ? Personally - I don't believe in any of it. I think people believe what they want to believe. Have never seen any conclusive proof. Then again, as I'm sure someone will say - there's no proof tat it doesn't work either. Paul

I sat round a table with a ouija board once, with three friends. From that experience, I would say please don't do it. Joy

Hiya- tried the board once- it moved a tiny bit then the stereo blasted on a stuff fell off the shelves- so we stopped it there! lol- ive heard that you can only contact bad spirits through the board but they pretend to be nice- all sounds too wierd to me- fancy trying again some time though!!lol- dont think i have the guts too though! x

Hi all Did anyone see the programme that Derren Brown did on contacting spirits (had a ouija board etc). It made very interesting viewing and convinced me that if you have enough people who are willing to believe then things will happen. Your mind can make you believe/do things that you are not aware of. Lynne

would be very wary to use one of those but my brothers partner has done one and when they asked if anyone was there my brother jumped out,screamed and scared the living daylights out of them.been to see a clayvoyent though.she was good and told me things that had happened in my past.it was quite expensive at fifteen pounds for half an hour.there were four of us which netted her sixty pounds for half an hours workxxxx(:

Thanks for your replys interesting!! no i am defenatly NOT going to have a go .But if it really works there must be a after life then lol .Table tipping works like the ouija board people put there finger tips gently on a round table and call for the spirits someone out of the group then asks the spirits a question if its yes the table will turn or tilt or rock . FREAKY !!! NO i honestly think i would bolt out the door lol.Maz let us all know how you get on you are one brave girl ! x
