The Rules For Ouija

1. Never play alone.

2. Never let the spirits count down through the numbers or go through the alphabet as they can get out of the board this way.

3. If the planchette goes to the four corners of the board it means that you have contacted an evil spirit.

4. If the planchette falls from a Ouija board, a spirit will get loose.

5. If the planchette repeatedly makes a figure eight, it means that an evil spirit is in control of the board.

6. If you should get an evil spirit, quickly turn the planchette upside down and use it that way.

7. The board must be "closed" properly or evil spirits will remain behind to haunt the operator.

8. Never use the Ouija when you are ill or in a weakened condition since this may make you vulnerable to possession.

9. The spirit of the Ouija board creates "wins" for the user, causing him to become more and more dependent on the board. Addiction follows. This is called "progressive entrapment."

10. Evil spirits contacted through the Ouija board will try to win your confidence with false flattery and lies.

11. Always be respectful and never upset the spirits.

12. Never use the Ouija in a graveyard or place where a terrible death has occurred or you will bring forth malevolent entities.

13. Witchboards are so named because witches use them to summon demons.

14. The very first Ouija boards were made from the wood of coffins. A coffin nail in the center of the planchette window served as the pointer.

15. Sometimes an evil spirit can permanently "inhabit" a board. When this happens, no other spirits will be able to use it.

16. When using a glass as a message indicator, you must always cleanse it first by holding it over a burning candle.

17. Ouija boards that are disposed of improperly, come back to haunt the owner.

18. A Ouija Board will scream if you try to burn it. People who hear the scream have less than thirty-six hours to live. There is only one proper way to dispose of it: break the board into seven pieces, sprinkle it with Holy Water then bury it.

19. If you must use a Ouija board, make your own. Arrange the letters and numbers, into a circle so whatever is trapped within that circle can't escape.

20. If you place a pure silver coin on the board, no evil spirits will be able to come through.

21. Never leave the planchette on the board if you aren't using it.
