Q:Why shouldn't I use a Ouija board to find out who is haunting my place?

A: We very strongly advise AGAINST the use of Ouija boards or any other divination aids.
There is an old folk wisdom that refers to this and it says that when you light a candle it won't just give you light but will attract the moths.
First of all despite calling ourselves "Ghost Hunters" the best description would be more like "Paranormal Observers and Folklore Collectors". There is nothing "Hunt" like when you deal with the dead. I suggest the out most respect and caution. If you believe in ghosts and spirits you should not challenge or disturb something that you do not fully comprehend for the sake of a thrill.
Secondly an inexperienced (after decades of observing we are still learning) person is an open target for other less friendly entities who ( just like the moths with the candle) would respond to the energies of the Ouija board operator or any curious bystander. Imagine living in a large city (presuming we believe that there are more dead and spiritual beings than living it is a fair example) and to find a person you would post a sign on your door saying "C ome in, you are all welcome" It would be naive to say the least to think that someone wouldn't come in and cause damage. Some elementals and spirits especially demons can be deceitful and searching for a "host" or energies they can feed on. First they can appear very friendly or alluring. (eg. answering questions or granting special skills and energies then causing havoc.)
