Does the ouija board really work?bb (link)
|
I've learned in my psychology classes that they, in fact, do not work.
Here is the best example I can think of:
A few years ago, this company developed what they thought was a solution to the education of autistic children. While those who were incapable of speaking couldn't answer, they could give a respond through an aid and a keyboard. It seemed to flourish until secrets started to surface. Children all over the place were confessing, through their aids, that they had been sexually abused by their parents, beaten, etc. Through investigation they found that none of the accusations were true.
It was all the 'aids' subconscious. Tests were run by having the aid's view blocked from the question while the child him/herself tried to answer. None of them could. The aid was subconsciously answering for them and unaware of it. It's the same principle with the ouija board. It's the same part of the subconscious that moves the pointer. Part of your subconscious moves it instead of a ghost or spirit.
