People laugh but this stuff isn't a joke.

Nearly 30 schoolgirls have been hospitalized with anxiety attacks after allegedly playing with Ouija boards at their school in Colombia.

“There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students,” said Hugo Torres, head of the Galeras Educational Institution in Galeras, where the incident took place, per Jam Press.

According to the outlet, alarm bells went off after the girls reportedly suffered signs of fainting, anxiety and other symptoms at school. They were subsequently admitted to a municipal hospital accompanied by parents and school faculty.

Apparently they are using ouija boards in the school itself.

I can remember as a kid playing with one of these and the planchette jumped out from both of our fingers at high velocity. Put the board away, we were done at that point and never used one since.

Very much agreed -I did it once, and I also did the stuff with cards and witch-girl saence stuff... It was frankly a bit unnerving both times in spite of nothing that odd happening.

Later I became entirely convinced that spiritual phenomenon is real, though, and so, yes, I am not in a hurry to do anything with this sort of stuff.

@J. Løvstuhagen My own view is that everything, the entire visible universe and all that is not visible, is "God thought", there is no real physicality to anything and thus physical laws are entirely mutable as God sees fit, but when God thinks something into existence such as ourselves, that something is not independent but is in fact part of God's mind, when God wants us to cease to exist he simply (and I use 'he' here not to infer a sexuality but simply as a pronoun of convenience for personhood), he simply forgets about us.

You may ask if everything is God thought then why does God allow evil, well first because Love still can only come of free will, and God wants love even if it's just a part of himself, so allows free will. If you give free will some are going to make good choices and some not so good. The latter is more likely for those unaware of their relationship to God and each other.

What I still wonder about is that when God thought (and I really think "Spoke" is misrepresentative of what God actually did since speech can only exist where there is atmosphere and before the Earth when God "spoke" it all into existence there was none so I think thought is actually what happened, what I wonder about sometimes is does he make the rules up as he goes along (physical not moral rules), or was everything set in stone when brought everything into existence. A lot that I have observed change in my lifetime has me believing the former, which is both terrifying and exciting at once since the possibilities of such a universe, for better or worse, are unbounded.

So as a consequence, I believe we are all connected, made of the same primeval stuff and we will return to that, but in the meantime we are all connected with everything, the edge that separates us from everything else is just an illusion and this is why all these freaky "spiritual" stuff exists.

And please understand this is just my personal theory of life the universe and everything, yours might be entirely different, and that is entirely okay, it may will be like Doug Adams says just "42". By the way if the meaning of that 42 eludes you, just represent '4' on one hands fingers as binary and '2' on the other and it should be come clear, if not do so in front of a mirror.
