The Persistent Ouija
by Jessica

I am 15. Well, anyone would probably think, "Oh yeah, a 15-year-old girl knows what about this Ouija board?" Well, that's what I heard from many people in my classes and they were shocked from what they have heard. It all began one winter in 1997. My friend Stephanie and I were outside at night time fooling around with this so-called superstitious board game. We had the whole ritual thing, the candles, darkness, and we had two other witnesses. Stephanie and I sat down facing each other with the board on both of our laps. I put my four fingers on the arrow and we both closed our eyes. We figured this wouldn't work so we stopped. But our other two friends were telling us to go on so we did. Stephanie asked a question such as, what was the date of the day we started this? and it told us December 14, 1997. We were kind of shocked, but not scared.

We went on and I came to the question of when did Stephanie's dad die. To our imagination, it came up as: October 12, 1995. We both started gasping for air and started freaking out. I was pacing back and forth saying this wasn't and couldn't be real and Stephanie was crying saying this thing was wicked and had evil spirits. Our other two friends were standing there in amazement and almost crying. That night there was a fire next door so we all decided to burn it right then and there. All of us were there and all four of us saw it burn. We stayed up all night and the next morning we all went outside to get our stuff and there it was the board looking the same as it did and everything. We screamed in terror. I was thinking to myself that anyone could have bought another one and replaced it and sat it there. The only way we could tell is if my fingerprints were on it. My grandpa was an investigator profiler so we used his fingerprint kit. I have a scar on my middle finger so when we took the fingerprint tests on my fingerprints, the same scar had shown up.

We never did worry about it that much until our youth group went to Georgia for a church get together. There it was. On the dock. I screamed and picked it up, threw is vigorously in the lake and we all ran off. Nothing happened after that or should I say so we all thought. All four of us still know each other and it has been four years. We brought up the subject about four months ago which was like July and we realized something. The number four was brought up a lot: four friends, four years, seeing the board four times, four months ago, and something new - four people had been killed in April, the fourth month and, sad but true, on the fourth. They were killed by a Ouija board. Believe it or not whatever you want to think, but the young boy asked the board when all "four" of them were going to die, and it spelled out the words "NOW." How they died was a mystery but the board was examined and fingerprinted by my grandpa. Guess who's fingerprints..... mine. The board hasn't came back since but I am still paranoid about that day, and with the events and "four."
