Myself, I won't have one of those things in my home.
At the same time, I do find the subject interesting. For those of you who haven't read this before, you might find it to be an interesting read. It's Marc's (T-Nets founder) recount of events that surround the use of a board:

Another example of contact with the spirit realm and the troubles it may lead to.
There is more to the tale that is not currently being made public.
As you can see from Marc's post a great deal of turmoil has been the result so far. Started out great but then look what happened.
I agree with Marc that a quija board itself is not Satanic, however I do believe it can be used as a conduit to open a door that both good or evil may pass through, and if you are unfortunate enough to be the recipient of an evil spirit. Then may God have mercy on your soul.

Dear GoodyGuy;
It's been my understanding that demonic possessions can appear in virtually anyone, at any time and that NO ONE is 100% immune, not even the most devoutly religious. Having stated this, there seems to be a far greater risk of becoming demonically possessed by those people who have little or no faith or those that fiddle around with the occult.
I must also admit that my own knowledge of demons and possessions was practically nil until about 18 months ago, when a discussion in the RELIGION section of this same forum led me to start asking anonymous questions of known Roman Catholic exorcists. Trust me, even getting the name of a Roman Catholic exorcist is somewhat similar to getting a list of the world's foremost spies.
The One True Faith guards the identities of their exorcist, mostly to keep them from being exposed to various forms of ridicule and also to help protect the identities of those people who they've exorcised in the past. In short, even trying to locate a starting point from where to begin my enquiries has been an ordeal in and of itself.
It was some real cloak and dagger stuff, my friend. Anonymous emails, oaths of confidentiality, one question leading to another, it was all quite an eye opening experience for one who think of himself as a very knowledgeable Roman Catholic. Come to find out, I didn't know NEARLY as much as I thought that I knew.
For instance, I've learned that so many of our ancient Roman Catholic traditions have been passed down for the last several hundred years, without anyone involved REALLY knowing what the traditions were for! Take for example the blessing of homes, offices, vehicles and other inanimate objects. It seems kind of silly to a non-Catholic and in truth, it seems kind of silly to a lot of neo-modern Catholics as well.
There does exist, however, a VERY good reason for this tradition. It is to keep an object from becoming the springboard from which Satan can possess a person. That is the SOLE purpose behind the blessing of inanimate objects! Priests didn't do it merely because they had nothing else to do, my friend. The Roman Catholic faith of today is two thousand years old, and even though us modern Catholics may not know the reasoning behind a good many of the traditions of our faith, the fact remains that all of the traditions of the One True Faith were put into place to save one's soul and to keep one's soul from falling into peril.
The statues in the Church? To keep Satan away. The tolling of the bells in the belfry? Same reason. The incense? Same reason. The statues in people's yards and the crucifixes displayed inside of Catholic homes? All were originally placed there to keep Satan at bay. This might seem to be superstitious nonsense to some modern Christian believers but, according to Roman Catholic exorcists, they really DO help to Satan at bay.
It seems that Satan cannot stand to look upon the image of Jesus Christ, especially on the crucifix and that the devil is also deathly afraid of holy water. Also, loud noises seem to keep Satan away, such as church bells ringing. This is also why there are rifles fired in salute to those persons who have passed away at military funerals.
Why do I wear a crucifix and a St. Jude medal around my neck? To keep Satan away. Does it help? It sure can't hurt! In a much more subtle sense, we can also see Satan's handiwork in Christianity. Why did the Eastern and Western Christian Churches split. It was the work of Satan my friend. Divide and conquer. The Protestant Reformation? The same reason. Why countless the lies told about Catholicism? Satan doesn't want people to know the truth my friend, because if they knew the truth, then they could no longer be blinded by generation upon generation of suave lies.
Satan is truly alive and well and walking among us, my friend. You can see him all around, in everything we hear, see, touch, smell and sense. And why do you suppose there are so many lies about Catholicism? Could it be that Satan doesn't want the world to know about Catholicism? Could it be that Satan wishes to destroy the One True Faith and to embrace in false Christian teachings?
Yes, my friend, Satan IS alive and walking among us, only he doesn't need to possess a person's soul in order to turn that person away from Christ and Christianity. He has already done this. If you don't believe me, just go to your church and listen. Tell the members of your congregation that you are considering converting to Catholicism, then look and listen carefully. You'll hear and see Satan everywhere.
Your friend;
