You have the same chance of contacting the dead with an Ouija as you do with an Ouya. Actually you might have better luck with the Ouya since it was dead on arrival, so it has at least some connection to the spirit world.

Are Ouija Boards actually legit?

It's all a bunch of baloney which mainly exists in your head. .
Always remember that if anything even remotely paranormal would actually exist and could be proven to be real it would be major world news and the people involved would be filthy rich. Many have tried but nobody/nothing has ever passed monitored tests.

From Wikipedia:
Plus the three videos in the OP are extensive news reports with multiple sources. And there's an upcoming movie based on what I would presume are real events from 1965.

The Big Bang isn't a proven theory but everyone accepts it as fact without hard evidence
Disney are making bank on Marvel comics, toys and have an upcoming slate of films with constant media attention, but if I look out my window I'm not going to see Spider-Man swinging past. It's fiction dude.

Well, if you think it's baloney, why don't you go buy one and try it out?

Totally legit, I was once told by a board I would win a huge amount of money, and you never guess what? I totally didn't win fucking anything.
They are bang on correct -100% of the time.

Surprising amount of people proclaiming they're fake, but are still unwilling to try one for some reason.

Probably have better things to do than trying to contact dead people with a piece of hard board.

We did that in school while visiting Budapest. I legitimately scared the shit out of the girls by pushing the name of the ghost to S.A.T.A.N., hihi. Oh what fun we had.

Yes Ouijia Boards are legit, as is Chupacabra, Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster, aliens probing the asses of cows late at night, leprechauns dancing at the end of every rainbow, and of course that all world leaders are secretly lizard people. It's true - all of it.

They are legit boards. Chock full of boardy goodness. Much more board-like than all those illegitimate boards.
I had one as a kid. I would always move the planchet to spell out absurd answers. My friends were apparently haunted by cow spirits, out for vengeance against hamburger eating children.

Same, but brown. My mom and probably my grandma would've beat my ass if I ever brought one in the house when I was young

I've used them. Can attest to the fact they do exist. Can also attest to the fact they absolutely do not contact the dead. Unless we're talking about dead bacteria and skin cells under the scryer. It's definitely making contact with that shit.

They can absolutely contact the dead if you place them gingerly atop a corpse. That is the true magic of a board.

My mother, to this day, is still very much concerned about ouija boards. We weren't allowed to have one or use one when I was a kid.
For whatever reason, she refuses to acknowledge that even if ouija boards could be real, and magic/ghosts/etc were real, that it would still be incredibly unlikely that a toy manufactured by the thousands in the same places that make whatever other board games Hasbro publishes would do jack shit.

My mom bought me a Ouija board when I was a teen. Me and two friends used it and asked a few rounds of questions. Then suddenly it started to spell "pissed off" whenever we asked a question.
So I boxed it away and came back to it a couple of years later. I tried it with a few other friends, not telling them of what happened previously. This time I sat out and let them asked questions. They got one round in before it spelled out "pissed off".
I believe I threw it out after that lol.

Have we heard the story of a Ouija board being either thrown out or broken then mysteriously returning to its original spot perfectly intact yet? I've heard a few of those over the years.
This is what we did with some friends one night, many years ago. Some of them seemed to be genuinely spooked, though I'd like to believe they were pretending. I wanted to mess with them so I started moving the cup a lot. Eventually they realized what I was doing, got mad at me and sent me to another room to play Resident Evil alone.
Ouija boards were popular at sleepovers when I was in junior high and high school. I was the one intentionally applying force to make "the spirits" get bored of answering love life questions and start talking about how they died. Or start threatening people! Fun times.
Shit is fake as hell, but it's amusing to be the only nonbeliever in the group.

Asking this question on Gaf is like asking Team Rocket if they'll ever just chill out
My acceptable Gaf answer is there is very little scientific evidence to back it up. Even if there is, it's not gaf worthy, and you should be banned for not thinking like the rest of us.
And if I feel like being honest this shit scares me

I knew a grown woman who was horrified of ouija boards. She forbade her children from using them, they were forbidden from the house, and she had conditioned her children to be afraid of them. She insisted that they invited in spirits, and you couldn't control what kind of spirits came through, and there was no getting rid of them once they were in your house. She believed devils and demons came through ouija boards and said she knew it defied logic but she had seen it with her own eyes.
My girlfriend says she and her friend used one as kids in the woods by their house and asked if there was anybody who wanted speak out, and it spelled out a name. She asked where they were, and it said "here." And then they found out they were standing in an old family gravesite where all the headstones had fallen over. They brushed one off and the name on the headstone matched the one the ouija board said. It then started to rain.
I insist this is a childhood jest that she holds onto too dearly, but she insists this occurred. If she has ever made up a story for attention or held any superstition, this is the only time. Otherwise, she is like me, cynical and humorless and waiting to die. We are very happy together.
