Blog:Grust Explains Why the Ouija Board Challenge is Dangerous

As shown on Internet Challenges, one challenge is the Ouija Board Challenge, where players take turns using the planchette to make contact with spirits. Now I admit I believe in the supernatural so I'm going to explain why this challenge is dangerous.

When you try to communicate with spirits, what happens is that you run the risk of opening what called a portal, which is a door to the "other side." This brings in spirits for communication. Truth be told almost anything can be used to open a portal such as a mug if you try to use it to communicate with spirits, but Ouijas are the most famous. Opening a portal is incredibly dangerous because even if you wish to contact a specific spirit, you run the risk of unleashing someone or something else. You may summon the spirit of a dead criminal, a tragic but territorial ghost, or even something much much worse, a demon, a being of pure evil that never walked the earth as man. And unlike ghosts that only haunt locations, demons haunt people and will follow you.

Now once you open a portal, it's not something that can be easily closed. Some think burning the Ouija will close it but sadly only divine intervention can help you. If you summon something you never wanted to summon, immediately find a priest or spiritual medium as soon as possible as it's only a matter of time before demonic possession takes over.

While I stand by the "it's your own damn fault for being stupid" response to most of these challenges, I still would not wish anyone to be haunted by a demon.
