Random fact After the Krakatoa volcano eruption in 1883 in Indonesia, many people reported that, because of the dust, the sunset appeared green and the moon blue. The moon was said to appear blue for almost two years. -Shazistic
A few days ago, I had a chance to try the board for the first time. My friends and I "summoned" our deceased friend's ghost. He was a chemist and I tried to ask him something only he could know, so I asked which element has the proton number 63. He didn't know the answer, but when we asked again, the board spelled - give or take - "europium", which is the correct answer. I am positive I was the only person at the table who knew the answer, and even though I consciously tried to stop the planchette from showing the correct answer and push my fingers against its movements, it still did. I was confused as hell, but the friend that introduced the board (he's a psychologist) said it was still me who unconsciously moved the planchette.
Why are you surprised that your unconsciousness motor reflexes knew the answer? That's the whole point of ideomotor reflex. If your had ben blindfolded with the board upside down, I bet a million dollars europium wouldn't have been spelled.
this would be interesting if you tried it again but you sit out and have 2 other people do it, have one of them ask a question they dont know the answer to and see what comes up
Do NOT mess around with stuff like that. You can conjure up much more than you bargained for. The dead know nothing Jezus said so they don,t answer your question. Something else does and that Something else can hurt you and mess with you. Burn that board.
But who was controlling the other person ? See ? You don’t know that. The answer was always telepathic alien communists. You shall become a posadist today, mortal !

I played a lot of Quija when i was a kid, it was old and homemade from my grandparents .... the experiences i encountered with it, we're not mind tricks.

Wow... half of the comments in this comment section are frustrating. Why are people watching a science channel and then trying to claim science is wrong and pseudoscience / supernatural stuff with zero empirical evidence is right? There are plenty of spooky channels for you to watch instead. If you're going to watch a science channel, I'd hope you at least had some respect for why the scientific method is so important and shouldn't just be thrown out because you like the idea of ghosts or think you saw one before.
I have respect for Science. I also believe there are natural phenomena our scientific study hasn't discovered yet, and we are inclined to call it supernatural just because we can't explain it. YET. That said, I don't think humans spirits roam the earth after the death of their bodies.
Because some people have experiences that go beyond just the movement of planchet and weird sensations. Your right, the scientific method shouldn't be thrown out, and more often than not people's brains are probably just doing their weird brain thing, but sometimes things happen that don't fall into this.

At least i, when coming back home, entered an almost sleep almost awake state, i was remembering everything of the day, whats wrong about that? Nothing, except i twitched a bit and jumped and moved my arms as if trying to throw the basketball ball to score, how much did i twitch? I didnt jump because i had my legs pointing forwards, and i hit the front seat of the bus so hard my hands ached and it made a lot of noise. Did i learn not to think about playing basketball while half asleep? Yes, at the fourth time it happened, but i did.
I never felt that feeling and people assuming that a dead human would be bothered to do that As for crazy RUclipsr ghosts those should be locked up somewhere
To be honest with you I played with it with my experienced friend and other friend many years ago a couple times. Of course if I knew better I wouldn’t not that I think back but still back then this is exactly how it is it convinced you that it’s real because people put their hands on the planchette and whatever is on the players mind is convincing them. I didn’t feel nothing nor did I talk to anyone. Probably didn’t remember much cause nothing happened! I guess whatever you hear from others or whatever you think is what convinces you!
When I was about 19 years old I was living with some friends, on Halloween we decided to make a Ouija board out of a pizza box. We did some ceremonial introduction and then four of us set upstairs and asked a question, we all laughed at the stupid letters that made no sense until we put it together at the end. It was a name of someone, but I don't recall it now. It was an eighteenth-century name. We were all pretty convinced, threw the thing in the fireplace and burned it. Now 25 years later, I still wonder about that. When you trust everyone in the group, and you know the people, the look on their face when we read the name was priceless. I still wonder if there's something more to it, whether it's just the intention that is bringing forth a subconscious invention, or something more. Im a skeptic by nature. I question everything and don't like to be fooled. But explaining how an entire group comes up with something like that is difficult, and most people who make videos like this probably have never used one. Because if they did, they might be trippin yo. :)
Im sure that if you string enough random letters together you can find _some_ sort of name. That doesn't prove anything, and you shouldn't really be surprised
It explains it just fine. One person subconsciously started moving it towards some letters, and the rest of you subconsciously just followed it. After seeing a few letters, the person in control probably thought, "That looks like it's spelling a name..." and then subconsciously followed through on that idea. Ideomotor. (BTW, I have used a Ouiji board when I was young. My friend was CONVINCED that it was real because when we asked a yes/no question, a car drove by and scared him, and the planchette landed on "yes". Whereas I'm pretty sure that happened because one of us was already subconsciously moving it towards the "yes" when he jumped, and momentum exists.)
@@Hugo-lm7ed There are 9 cited sources in the description of this video alone, two of which are specifically about crediting supernatural sources of causation and one of those being a study specifically about ouija boards.
What about when the planchette moves on its own? and , I mean with no one touching it. I have experienced this 3x while using the Ouija during rituals. and, no, there was no evil involved.
I can think of a few possible, more likely, mundane causes than "ghost". They apply to all small objects moving without a person touching them, which isn't the topic of this video.
Hypothetically, I were a ghost and saw some kids messing with a ouija board, I might mess with them out of sheer entertainment. How can you science explain that?
Considering that I have a very external locus of control (having had essentially no control over my life... Ever), I am also an exceedingly skeptical human, but also a deeply spiritual one. My skepticism drives my faith to seek deeper understanding, and my faith drives me to walk further afield when seeking explanations. And I'm disabled. My agency has been all but completely stripped from me. I can't even reliably access medical care at a hospital. And it's a gamble whether I will be considered confrontational or distressed, generally strongly related to the time of day and how cleanly I present. So to bad luck chump if it's a bad day where I haven't changed or taken a shower and my insomnia is hell and it's one in the morning.
If you ever seen it go by it self with no one touching it... With other witnesses, I think you’ll realize it’s more than something psychological. It does depend where you use the board obviously. But the stories I’ve heard too... I would suggest being careful, this video makes a lot of assumptions on things it can’t test, so this video is not scientific fact, science doesn’t rely on assumptions, but repeatable tests and observations.
If the movement is caused by unconscious movements, could it be moved by subconscious thoughts, and if so, might that be a way to get access to some of those processes?
Does your career affect your locus of control? Like in a programmer and I'm convinced digital dice aren't rolling badly for you on purpose. It's as random as their randomness algorithm, it doesn't care about your rolls...
Right so when the planchet moves on its own we are just moving it with our mind. Science can't prove we have a soul either so is that suppose to mean we don't have one? Lol
Given how Hasbro (a toy and board game company) owns and sells these boards in regular toy/game stores science isn’t really needed to disprove this, just common sense. Same way as magicians and hypnotists pull of their stuff.
Yeah, but what causes it to scream and bleed? Huh? HUH? - but seriously, best Ouija board teenage experience was when one of my male friends asked the Ouija to tell him something about himself and it spelled out "its so small".
If you do, don't waste time trying to teach it to me - I *SUCK* at math, I always have. But grab every teachable young mind you can find; it's too late for me, but we need every bright, educated mind we can get to solve problems and make the world a better place ☺.
Why RUclips is showing me your videos a day after upload? I’ve watched almost every video! Alas I will check manually from now on, and thank you for amazing videos ☺️
Our world involves the actions of a lot of people and the nature of the physical world. This means that, while internal processes and individual decisions *do* have a significant part in shaping our lives, it is also imperative to note that *not everything* that happens to us is a result of of choices we made - consciously or otherwise.
not exactly. they don't write articles based on the books. they take a book and make it into a 15 minute read. so if there is a book on say psychology you'd like to check out but you have no time, you can read a 15 minute version of it.
@Timothy McCaskey That's because you're giving information to someone who doesn't value it. You first need to ask her a lot of questions, so she can verbally develop her thought process for you to put her in front of her own contradictions. Once you do that, she'll want to cling onto new information to reassure herself that she's not ignorant. Then and only then will she be interested in what you have to say. It takes time, and you gotta have a touch of charisma for optimal effect, but trust me it works.
Movement is caused by the sum of all forces applied. So it moves towards a direction that is not imposed by any specific participant. This makes for the spooky feeling. Because even if you try to move it, it goes somewhere else

I can think of a few possible, more likely, mundane causes than "ghost". They apply to all small objects moving without a person touching them, which isn't the topic of this video.
I'm sure you can think of explanations for why a small smooth object on a smooth surface might move a bit that don't involve magic.
The cat did it, by telekinesis 😁
Spirit.
OMG, that old fortune teller was right!
It looks like sceptics will always loose at Ouija. I've never won a game yet.
I don’t know I got a poltergeist in my home now and I’m not even afraid of it anymore but it’s still pissing me the f### off😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hypothetically, I were a ghost and saw some kids messing with a ouija board, I might mess with them out of sheer entertainment. How can you science explain that?
“WHERE ARE YOU?” WHATS YOUT FAVORITE ROOM?”

Considering that I have a very external locus of control (having had essentially no control over my life... Ever), I am also an exceedingly skeptical human, but also a deeply spiritual one. My skepticism drives my faith to seek deeper understanding, and my faith drives me to walk further afield when seeking explanations. And I'm disabled. My agency has been all but completely stripped from me. I can't even reliably access medical care at a hospital. And it's a gamble whether I will be considered confrontational or distressed, generally strongly related to the time of day and how cleanly I present. So to bad luck chump if it's a bad day where I haven't changed or taken a shower and my insomnia is hell and it's one in the morning.
One might think that is ghosts are moving the planchette, they could do so if the board and planchette were in a sealed, clear box.
I have a friend that needs to see this
If you ever seen it go by it self with no one touching it... With other witnesses, I think you’ll realize it’s more than something psychological. It does depend where you use the board obviously. But the stories I’ve heard too... I would suggest being careful, this video makes a lot of assumptions on things it can’t test, so this video is not scientific fact, science doesn’t rely on assumptions, but repeatable tests and observations.
dlPFC has ONE job and it can't even do that right.
would this explain that when I am rehearsing a conversation in my head my hand sometimes makes gestures, even if I am doing some other activity?
If the movement is caused by unconscious movements, could it be moved by subconscious thoughts, and if so, might that be a way to get access to some of those processes?
Does your career affect your locus of control? Like in a programmer and I'm convinced digital dice aren't rolling badly for you on purpose. It's as random as their randomness algorithm, it doesn't care about your rolls...
She ghosted me. Can I use this?
Yawa
commenters: ouija = luigi
me: planchette = peachette
I don't care what Hank or science says I'm not ever touching one of those things 😱😱
Best and safest option. Spirits are real but we can’t understand them because, I believe they are in a dimension beyond our comprehension.
The real ghost is probably in the corner of the room laughing at people believing this board game lmao
Right so when the planchet moves on its own we are just moving it with our mind. Science can't prove we have a soul either so is that suppose to mean we don't have one? Lol
Given how Hasbro (a toy and board game company) owns and sells these boards in regular toy/game stores science isn’t really needed to disprove this, just common sense. Same way as magicians and hypnotists pull of their stuff.
I feel like these outlandish Ouija Stories were invented by people trying to sell Ouija Boards.
No they really work,and they aren't called Ouija boards the real name for them is called a spirit board.
@@galvinstanley3235 "they really work"
Prove it.
I find Soulja Board more effective
Yeah, but what causes it to scream and bleed? Huh? HUH? - but seriously, best Ouija board teenage experience was when one of my male friends asked the Ouija to tell him something about himself and it spelled out "its so small".
My locus of control is _very_ outwards, but I know stupid when I see it.
This is the exact information I needed today. I wonder if I can make a math lesson out of this.
Only if you are brave enough.
If you do, don't waste time trying to teach it to me - I *SUCK* at math, I always have. But grab every teachable young mind you can find; it's too late for me, but we need every bright, educated mind we can get to solve problems and make the world a better place ☺.
Why RUclips is showing me your videos a day after upload? I’ve watched almost every video! Alas I will check manually from now on, and thank you for amazing videos ☺️
Explain how It moves without our fingers actually touching it then.
It doesn’t
My girlfriend has an external locus of control....nice new term I picked up haha
3:40 is that a nice way of saying they're not willing to accept that what happens to them is their fault
Our world involves the actions of a lot of people and the nature of the physical world. This means that, while internal processes and individual decisions *do* have a significant part in shaping our lives, it is also imperative to note that *not everything* that happens to us is a result of of choices we made - consciously or otherwise.
So is it your mind when the board moves itself and not just the planchet but the actual board?
Trying to explain stuff like this with science makes it seem like people that believe it are lab mice
I just concentrated on Kate Blanchett and she fell off the Titanic. Creepy!
Yeah yeah, but I still ain’t playing with a ouija board
So many superstitious, so many willing to dismiss; I'm sure the devil is laughing at this, I know I am. 🙂
I've played by myself, please explain that movement, it wasn't mine!!!
Blinkest just sounds like a pay version of Wikipedia
not exactly. they don't write articles based on the books. they take a book and make it into a 15 minute read. so if there is a book on say psychology you'd like to check out but you have no time, you can read a 15 minute version of it.
@@aniadidit5921 Wikipedia does the same for a lot of books/topics.
@@aniadidit5921 Is the intention for you to read the full book later?
@@case_sensitive I would guess the intension is actually to read it instead of the book. it summarizes the most important contents
Furniture does this also.
Science ruins fairytales once again.
You spelled "enhances" wrong :)
@Timothy McCaskey That's because you're giving information to someone who doesn't value it. You first need to ask her a lot of questions, so she can verbally develop her thought process for you to put her in front of her own contradictions. Once you do that, she'll want to cling onto new information to reassure herself that she's not ignorant. Then and only then will she be interested in what you have to say.
It takes time, and you gotta have a touch of charisma for optimal effect, but trust me it works.
if you think a story’s ruined because it’s not true, you must be a miserable person to be around
Movement is caused by the sum of all forces applied. So it moves towards a direction that is not imposed by any specific participant. This makes for the spooky feeling. Because even if you try to move it, it goes somewhere else
One question can you play oujia board for yourself and then see if its real or fake ???
I was that friend who pushed the thingy on the ouija board 😂
I just recommend everyone septic to play the quija board themselves
Aight
Blinkist sounds suspiciously Fahrenheit 451-esque.
Wedgie boards
I missed you, Hank Green
