Subject: The Spirit Box

Now here is an object that freaked me out when I was watching a video about the gadget, this here is called The Spirit Box, it's a device that locates ghosts and spirits and lets other people communicate with the deceased, I was listening to it and the stuff that came out of it from watching the video terrified me afterwards, this is not quite a Jenga but if some of you have friends or family members that have passed away and want to communicate with them on the other side, you could look into it if you want to, Do any of you believe in these things like a Ouija or a Spirit Box?

You are so convinced that it works? Who did you contact? A deceased friend or relative? What did they say?

I was convinced by watching the video, Voice, have you tried these things like a Ouija or a Spirit Box?  ???

I don't own the gadget but one day I would like to purchase them.

I thought Jenga was a game with blocks. I can't find anything online about it having anything to do with contacting dead people.

Sorry I meant Ouija Board, have you used one before?

Yes. They don't work in the least. Any movement comes from the mind of the people with their hands on the planchette and                                                                 
absolutely nowhere else. They are very nice to look at though. Here's a website with many of them:

I made one myself in the early 70s.

I don’t believe in them. I tried one once just to entertain someone I was dating. She swore it was moving on it’s own but I could see the muscle in her arm doing the work.

The device in the first pic I would think is no more than an emf detector. They say ghost activity is heightened where there is high emf. But that doesn’t mean high emf causes ghost activity.

My Mother and My Uncle have used one to try to contact my brother's spirit and I think this was a year or 2 after his passing, I have mixed feelings about using a Ouija board.

Wagon, have you used a Spirit Box before and do you believe you can actually talk to spirits after that person has passed?  ???

It seems to be some sort of radio receiver. It scans through the frequencies so I reckon you could easily pick up some radio chatter and it sound like you’d made contact. Plus, it strikes me that you could probably detect a walkie talkie if someone was nearby.

One time I picked up a hockey game from a nearby radio on a hairdryer. This has happened with toasters also.

Spooky, but does it tell you who you are in contact with?

It might be that they have different names when they are dead.

You would have to be in a certain place of where the spirit was.

Then if you know where the spirit is located, you do not need the Spirit box to  tell you?

If this was real wouldn't there be a lot of people using them and wouldn't there be a lot of media coverage for that? I mean getting into contact with deceased would be a huge thing for all kinds of people (police investigating murders for example). But there is nothing. Absolutely nothing from trustworthy sources. So you can bet that this thing is 100% fraud. ;)

Will the jelly wobble on the Ouija Board?
