Used as a way to communicate with the 'other side', the infamous board seemingly had an adverse effect on the students.

Wasn't the first incident caused by food poisoning from expired cafeteria food or something?

You need to watch this informative youtube doco on the subject.

Hmmm, so both incidents have happened in Colombia. That can hardly be a coincidence.

Spiritually smart people tell amateurs to never use a Ouija Board. I do suspect something more than psychological may be negatively affecting these girls.

Hmm... I wonder why we don't really see these type of incidents in more civilised, less superstitious countries? This is nothing more than a case of mass hysteria brought on by primitive superstition, it's absolutely nothing to do with a stupid wooden board (although there could be other natural explanations, such as food poisoning, etc.).

Do they also tell them to never play Monopoly? Because both games are manufactured by the same company, you know.

It's not the board but the opening of the mind to communication with unknown spirits that is dangerous.

Monopoly is way more dangerous, i bet more than a few people have been admitted to a&e after a game has got out of control.

They are both nothing but games, toys. And as seen here, between the two, Monopoly is the far more "evil" one:

That might be true if you don't believe in spirits.

Or if you just don't believe that you can talk to them through a children's toy.

It's not the toy that's important, but the group intention to invite unknown spirits. The game is just ordinary cardboard and plastic as we all know.

The south American countries are both religious and superstitious. This type of upbringing would ramp up the fear levels. All it takes is a book falling over or a light bulb blowing and that situation is defcon 1 instantly.

The prankster in the bunch who have moved the table and other stuff are probably dying from laughter.

Funny how these incidents are mainly experienced by school girls. Guys would run for it if things went pear shaped.

I think you are discriminating against spiritually smart people who follow the trickster archetype.
