 Ahh, I see. I like your strength  and the principled approach. How did your ex feel about it? 

I don't have any experience in such things other than a friend tell me that she will never touch that one in particular because of an experience she had. She said a spirit followed her and she couldn't get rid of it for several months. 

The same friend also read Tarot cards for me for the first time ever, and to my surprise she spoke of several concepts that had been overwhelming my thoughts at the time. 

So I would normally just roll my eyes and say it's just silly, but there does seem to be more to it. 

So I heed your warning. 
 I couldn't articulate my position well at the time. So, she was frustrated with me basically just saying "no. Never. Or else."

Your friend didn't get rid of it. Just because it currently doesn't bother her, doesn't mean that the influence is gone. 

*sighs* I feel a really long explaination coming on and I'm too tired for that right now.  
 Ouija boards are nothing but trouble 
 Well, I think ALL of that kind of thing is trouble. Don't invite things you don't know into your home and your life.  
 You gotta dump em when they get a ouija board 
 I was married at the time... But eventually, yes.  
 I’m cool with most things but I’m too Midwestern for that ouija board 

That’s a Kansas hard pass 
 I've never heard that before, but, that's fun.  
 People in Kansas don’t play that 
 Too sensible.
