An exorcist priest spoke about the dangers of using Ouija boards to contact the dead.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, the Rev. Dan Reehil of the Diocese of Nashville spoke about the spiritual world.
“We too often forget that there is much more to this world than meets the eye. Angels, demons, spirits, and souls do exist and they can have an impact on our life,” he said.
In 2018, Reehil received exorcism training at Ateneo Pontificio Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy.
He explained that an exorcist “is a priest chosen and installed by a bishop to exercise the office of deliverance ministry. Exorcism is a specific form of prayer that the Church uses against the power of the devil.”
“Demons lie and impersonate dead people. When asking a board for information about a deceased person, or a life decision, they are all too happy to embed themselves into your life,” Reehil said.
He continued, “Using an Ouija Board is inviting a demon into your life, whether the person has that intention or not.”
