Natives do not teach the existence of evil spirits. Nothing is evil in its essence. The only evil that does exist is that of actions.

The next entities of Voodoo are the Twins. These are much like the ying and yang. The spirits are curious and rather mysterious forces of contradictories: good and evil, happy and sad, right and wrong, and other balances. If honored now and again in religious services, they will tend to help one have the better side of life.

The introduction starts with explaining that there are usually always the same telltale signs of a haunted house. Quite often when someone speaks of a hauntings they mention cold spots, doors unexplainably locking, mysterious footsteps, and strange yet recognizable noises and/or odors.

Surprisingly, in public polls

For those of you who don't know what a ouija board is, it is a “game” that has been produced since the 1890’s that is used to contact the souls of the dead, many people also call them a “tool” or “vessel” of the devil. Using a Ouija board is an act that has become very controversial in today's age, because of all the supernatural stories that are associated with them. The stories tend to cause hysteria, and you can usually find hundreds forums or blogs of people telling their stories and how after their experiences they wouldn't touch one with a flag pole, Some people wouldn't advise being in the same room as one, or even in the same building. These warnings are usually accompanied by outrageous stories of a friend of a friend of a friend who once tried a ouija board and had their life completely ruined by supernatural spirits. Most of the hysteria surrounding ouija boards is a mixture of urban legend, hollywood interpretations, and religious paranoia. And all those put together have influenced us to believe these crazy stories of possessions and brutal assaults by ghostly encounters are in fact true.

Did you know One of the big fads in the 1960’s was the ouija board, but why was it a big fafd if it was a bad fad?, why, because they could talk to spirits and everyone thought it was cool. I also thought that it would be pretty fun to do this one because my friend has tried it before and i wanted to see what all it was about, but once i found out what it was about i told my page that one of the bigest fads was one of the worst fads that you could ever do and maybe people will soon stop playing with the Ouija board and insted of playing with the ouija board and start playing regular board games and with other stuff. Also they thought that if they could talk to the dead ones that maybe just maybe they could re-connect to there loved ones but what if the person you thought you were talking to was actually not the one you thought you were talking about.

Voodoo is a thousand year old belief system that originated in Africa. The slave trade that brought slaves from the West Coast of Africa to America also brought new belief systems such as Voodoo. Voodoo is very old and extremely powerful for those that believe in the intercession of spirits. The Voodoo that is practiced in the United States today, finds a home in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The large African American population in the city is the result of the popular slave trade route that ran from the West Coast of Africa. African slaves taken from the Slave Coast were most often sent to either Saint Domingue or Louisiana. Voodoo is one of the world’s oldest religions and is recognized to be the world’s most powerful form of magic

Many people ask what are ghost. A ghost is an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a cloud/hazy image. They are all over the world and most likely in your own home. I have had my fair share of experiences with ghost. For example I was pushed down the stairs by a ghost and or I was not being careful. I was also with by brother and we heard footsteps and laughing upstairs when nobody was home except us. My brother had heard a demon and that's why I am a firm believer of the supernatural. You never know, you may have some experiences like me.

The word Voodoo is an intimidating word to many because of the images it brings to the mind of black magic, evil,

Ghosts, as with any other misunderstood group or people, have been preyed upon by others without understanding. The lack of knowledge about ghosts and haunting activity has led people astray as to what they really are. What Hollywood and television portrays is very inaccurate and cannot be relied upon as truthful. They show these spirits of the dead as being evil in nature, filled with malice and harmful intent. But that this is not the case. The field of paranormal activity is amazing. It has caught the imagination of people from every walk of life. It has always interested me and has influenced me to pick this as the topic for my research. Through this research I wish to uncover the truth about the existence of ghosts.

I'm sure before I talked about voodoo, you expected something totally different. I, myself, thought voodoo was actually all about black magic and evil spirits. However, voodoo is not actually negative. When the early Haitian slaves came over to different parts of the world, they also brought over their faith. However, because they were black and their religion was not recognized, it was prejudged as evil. The priests were known as witchdoctors, the Loa were thought to be evil when in reality, the

In a dim, candlelit room, a group of curious teenage girls gather around a small wooden board, with their eyes wide open as a small, upside-down heart-shaped object slowly travels along the dark black printed letters. Their fingers lightly make contact with the object, yet it still moves as if another force is pushing it. With pounding hearts, the group watches messages sent across the board and a sense of mystery and amazement unfolds. They are bubbling with many questions. What’s making this mysterious board spell out words and phrases- the spirit world, or your subconscious mind? The ideomotor phenomenon holds well-developed history and studies, uses similar to the Ouija board, and many professional sources behind it. Overall, the
