A ouija board is a piece of masonite with a large printed paper
decal on it. I had one as a kid. Nothing happened.

What is dangerous is the superstitious, paranoid mindset of the
people who have fed you this horseshit. It's part of a vicious
mental cycle which, once you're caught in it, becomes harder
and harder to escape. You take every bad thing that happens in
your life as confirmation of your superstitions, which causes
you to become more superstitious, which causes further
deterioration of your natural problem-solving abilities, which
causes still more bad things to happen and still more
confirmation of your superstitions, ad infinitum.

If you don't nip this supernatural thing in the bud soon, while
you still have the ability to choose your own course in life,
it will choose your course for you. And that course is
guaranteed to have ill consequences.
