Pink Ouija board for girls aged 8+

And people think that someof us ghost hunters are nuts....what about the utter nutters who seel this "toy" to kids for profit when nobody is really sure of the precise implications of using one...

I hate to imagine the minds that are behind the sales of these things to kids... springs up ideas of all sorts of conspiritorial stuff..

A pink version of the popular Ouija board game has some critics seeing red.

The
children's sleepover staple — sold by Hasbro since 1967 — now comes in
hot pink, an edition released two years ago that gets tweens to call on
"spirits" to spell out answers to life's pressing questions.

It's
designed for young girls ages 8 and older, but some say the mysterious
product is a "dangerous spiritual game" that opens up anyone,
particularly Christians, to attacks on their soul.
The
game continues to be sold at Toys R Us locations in the U.S. and Canada
for $19.99, although it's currently being "phased out," company
officials say.

"There's a spiritual reality to it and Hasbro is treating it as if it's just a
game," said Stephen Phelan, communications director for Human Life
International, which bills itself as the largest international pro-life
organization and missionary worldwide. "It's not Monopoly. It really is
a dangerous spiritual game and for [Hasbro] to treat it as just another
game is quite dishonest."


Phelan, who has never played the game, said the Bible explicitly states "not to
mess with spirits" and that using a Ouija board will leave a person's
soul vulnerable to attack.

"All Christians should know, well everyone should, that it's opening up a
person to attack, spiritually," he said. "Christians shouldn't use it."

Read the rest of the report for further views from both sides...and one of those sides is not spiritual.. so excuse, no pun intended.

Hi Steven

I'm amazed that kids can get there hands on these things over the counter of a toy shop!, i had no idea this was even possible only in the USA!...madness really quite worrying to be very honest maybe this is why a lot of the USA is in such a mess?...prob not tho!
Still interesting reading...thanks for the post.

Weird that one of the most fearful Evangelical countries in the world would sell these, isn't it.

Yes it is wierd.
Almost as wierd as that range of lingerie for kids...

It's almost as though there is some secret motive to get the young twisted into adulthood before they've even had a childhood.

So much is done to protect them, yet odd stuff like this is available.

The way the toy companies get around selling sometyhing like this ouija board is simple..they call it a toy.

It's a bit like the latest news of how burglaries have dropped because of globalisation, yet by buying cheap goods we are supporting extremely heavy pollution, slave labour and the cruel deaths of many people.

You just can't win.

Well i must say , only in America !!!

I am quite shocked with that ouija board , how stupid can you get !!! , and they wonder why they have so many problems and so much fuel for their paranormal programs , it would interest me if the daughter of the firm owner aslo has one , what will be next ?? summon your own devil by fisher price ??

Some people are just so crazy

That's sick!!!

I've got nothing at all about doing lots of private cases, but CERTAINLY NOT because of some people paying around with stuff that they don't know anything about. I don't like the idea of people like us having to clear up after them.

Watever is the problem with this society? They insist that there is no such thing as ghosts and spirits, they want scientific proof for veerything and they claim to be intellectual and well educated. But why do they ignore the ancient knowledge of ancient societies like e.g. the Aboriginees, the North and South American Indians, etc? They all know about spirits and entities and the risks and dangers of dealing or even playing with them, up until today.

It really makes me shake my head.

Its rediculous playing around with stuff like that, not only is it dangerous playing round with stuff that we don't really know that much about , but what about the pyscological damage that children could develop with this "toy?".

How about this then,

is it encouraging kids to start investigating before they're even in double figures?

Great!!! Encourages kids to sneak around when its dark.

Makes me think about my son .... but unlike other kids he already has some background knowledge and knows about the dangers.

But then I think, that he would laugh about a wanna-be-toy like that... he'd go straight for the thermal imaging camera. He knows the real thing and can't wait to be off age to go on an invo with us.

You want to see him watching Most Haunted his comments are worth gold!
