| Member Since: August 2006  RK: 3 MP: 488 | Saturday August 15, 2009 9:33 PM My friend, my brother, and myself were messing around with a Ouija board a few years back. We were all very much-so none believers. Now take in mind we were only about ten or eleven years old growing up in families that weren't really what you would call vulgar. We taunted the "spirit" for awhile making fun of it before asking the big question, "How am I going to die." The board wasted no time in spelling out the phrase "In Hell" to me. We freaked out and all swore that none of us made the pointer go to those words. We believed each other.A few days later we decided that whatever spoke to me was not a entity to mess around with. We pulled it out once more and were going to burn it after wards. Midday we went outside and began to talk to it on the pavement. It cursed at me a few times and then began to spew out random statements like "I am Princess Diana and am being imprisoned in hell." It was almost to the point of Schizophrenia. My brother needed a break and walked into the open garage. As he approached a shelf he bent over for some reason that I can't quite remember. On the counter were paint cans stacked two high in a wall with a mounted dear head resting on the shelf behind them all. In some unexplained event, the deer head lifted over top of the cans and rolled off of the shelf almost landing on top of my brother. The cans were not moved at all. As he ran out, terrified by the event I looked up at the hill on the other side of driveway where a graveyard rested just beyond a thin line of trees. I clearly saw a man dressed in a lab coat hiding behind a tree and peering out, looking directly at us. In disbelief I turned and walked toward the house. When I looked back it was gone. Going back to the Ouija board we decided then and there to snap it in two. The board broke and no magnets or anything were found inside. The we stomped on the pointer. Just as it snapped we all saw a black floating orb like mass fly into the air with great speed and swiftly cut into the grass about three feet off of the driveway. Following it, we went directly to where the object landed and found no solid piece, but instead about an inch and a half diameter wide circle of completely dead grass. What this was I am not sure. But I swear, it felt like something demonic. Something that truly hated us.

 Member Since: June 2007  RK: 4 MP: 620 | Sunday August 16, 2009 3:13 AM Gee...any guesses why...? Edit: The awesome irony of this is funny. For some reason, it keeps showing that there's an unread post here for me, although I've opened all the displayed threads just to make sure. Perhaps they don't like my sarcasm.

  Member Since: July 2003  RK: 13 MP: 6,289   | Sunday August 16, 2009 10:10 AM Took the words right out of my mouth. Or fingers, I guess. You'll have to excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical, Animus - that's rather a lot to swallow. Kids messing around with those things always swear that they -never- would have made the pointer do anything. Add in a few weird coincidences, imaginations a-flutter from alarm, and embroider it a bit, and you've got something fit for Weird Tales. Though, I find myself reminded of something a Wiccan acquaintance of mine said once... Ouija boards are like an internet chatroom. Someone untrained using one is like letting an untrained child use a chatroom. You never know who you'll wind up talking to. EDIT: Now my computer's being haunted by the phantom new post too. Anyone got an e-ja board? [[Edited by Avenging_Angel on Sunday August 16, 2009 10:12 AM]] Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

| Member Since: August 2006 RK: 3 MP: 488 | Sunday August 16, 2009 10:21 AM Well, I understand your skepticism, but I know for sure the things I saw and things that happened. What it was I cannot say. Maybe it was all an elaborate coincident, but I know it definitely felt real to me at the time.

  Member Since: September 2005  RK: 9 MP: 2,514 | Thursday August 20, 2009 6:35 PM I know four people that would say exactly that about an instance with a Ouija board. Because my brother and I have yet to tell them we were the ones responsible for everything that happened. Just sayin'.  Entertained the hell out of me for several days. Hehe. Granted, I don't believe in any of that kind of stuff. In another thread around here is a story of mine about something I can't explain, but I'd be more apt to believe something about some kind of latent energy left behind by people rather than a spirit dwelling in a place that can be communicated with after its death. So, in closing, Ouija boards + willing audience = tons of fun. Also, if there is a hell, I'll be burning there for an awfully long time. 2011 was way more apocalypsey than 2012. |
