All these warnings just make me want to do it more!
Well, this is a pretty tiny wank in a pretty tiny community, but I find the subject matter hilarious.

The LJ comm ghostly_stories is ostensibly a nice little place for people to share spooky things that have happened to them. Genuine postings are rather few and far between, however, and lately there have been a flood of "i see dead people!!!11!" posts. It's a slow community, though, so by "flood" I mean, oh, maybe ten in a month.

The latest to join and add her two cents is cukie_monster, whose first post is your standard dip your toe in the water and say "hello i like ghosts" kind of thing. She makes a point to mention that her house has had three people die in it, but apparently no one asks the right questions in the two replies that she gets, because a few days later, she decides to up the ante.

ive been thinking about pulling out the old ouiji board. ive never used it and i dont even know how i got it. but since three people have died here in my house, what are you guys' thoughts on this? i dont even know how a ouiji board works, so id have to figure that out first anyway, but can anyone tell me what they know about this? or maybe share some experiences?

Like I said, this is a pretty small wank, and I don't know how likely it is to grow, but what is in it up to now is pretty damned amusing.

The first response is from southernrebelle, who simply says, "DO NOT PULL OUT THAT BOARD!"

Others echo her warning, and the responses pretty much unanimously advise cukie_monster to step away from Teh Evil.

andromedatook: You mentioned in a previous post that just recording evps made you feel a little scared in your house. Doing a ouija board, especially if you contact someone/thing would make you feel a whole lot worse, moreso if the person/thing you contact isn't friendly.

lotus_chan: Just so you know, I once didn't research a protection spell. A demon came out to me and is still trying to kill me. That was two years ago.

And morkspoke gives her own, almost unintelligible reply, which may or may not also be a warning: if u have no experience, dnt try it. do not try ALONE or it can turn out to be dangerous. It can have part of this spirit in u, and control u in a way. one thing that made get away from these boards is the thought of i uncontrolably hittin my head on the wall, and so die.

Of course, as reverse psychology teaches us, cukie_monster is intrigued: maybe im just a dumbass, but all these stories make me want to do it even more.

And andromedatook and southernrebelle are upset. cukie_monster is offended that they're butting in, vents, and starts deleting posts. Fortunately, andromedatook has thoughtfully screencapped one of the deleted responses and politely runs off to get cukie banninated. Meanwhile, cukie reposts her reply with the bad wordsies cut out, and gets a "WTF?!" post from andromedatook in reply.

I've been waiting for WEEKS for some sort of drama to show up on this board; I am quite pleased now. *G*
