The Ouija Experiment

 It’s getting close for me to conduct another Ouija experiment. I haven’t done one in a long time. 


From time to time I like to put mega-myths to rest. I literally cringe when the mere mention of “Ouija” makes people shudder with fear, so I think I’m gonna do another Ouija experiment to put this to rest again. 


I find it completely absurd how many people claim that a piece of laminated cardboard and plastic planchette can summon the devil himself. The mere mention of the Ouija causes mass panic and hysteria. 


Spirit communication no matter how it’s done can open the door for an evil or demonic entity to come through. Heck, when you pray to God and Jesus you are opening a line of communication to the spirit world thus letting something dupe you into thinking you are channeling God or Jesus. 


The problem with any of this is mainstream paranormal tv and movies that make the Ouija board something that will suck your soul into it when it’s used and this simply isn’t true. 


Fear makes those things happen. Fear makes you think that you’ve seen something out of the corner of your eye or heard something or even felt something. Fear is the major creator of what’s known as the “ideomotor effect.”


The ideomotor effect is a psychological phenomenon wherein a subject makes motions unconsciously. You are unaware that you are actually moving the planchette thus thinking that it actually moved by itself. 


Can it channel an evil or demonic entity? Who knows really. No one can definitively prove either way. One can only rely on someone’s experience. An experience isn’t proof of the paranormal but only what happened to someone while doing it. 


The proof is on the person making the claim to prove if it happened or not, the same way for the listener to either believe or not believe the claim.

The Rougarou: Louisiana’s Werewolf.

  Hey Everyone. Todd here with Paranomaly. Way back in the Bayou out in the thick, fog-covered swampland's is where you’ll find the true beauty of Louisiana and perhaps even a monster or two—including the legendary beast called the Rougarou. The Rougarou is as Infamous as Bigfoot and just as elusivet, but that doesn't stop the lore of this creature spreading from generation to generation.  The history of the Rougarou is centuries-old and has many different origins, but the earliest mention of the infamous, mythical Louisiana werewolf comes from medieval France. Now back in the 16th century, they’d regularly blame various crimes on loup-garous. The villagers would capture people they believed to be a loup-garou and then hold a public trial. Usually they’d find someone in the woods or someone in the village who was just “acting strange.”  The court would ask the public if they believed the accused to be a loup-garou, and usually the public agreed (mainly for fear that they’d be o

  Hey everyone, Todd here with Paranomaly. The Spanish military hospital in Saint Augustine Florida was unknowingly built on top of a native American burial grounds. The original building was demolished, but an identical hospital was built back on the same site. The building is said to be haunted, perhaps by hospital patients, or perhaps by angry native American spirits.
