THOSE WHO EXPERIMENT with the Ouija board usually are either just looking for some entertainment or are seeking genuine answers to questions or issues important to their lives. Sometimes the responses that they get, however, are unexpected. And sometimes unwanted. Here are more true stories in our series of Tales of the Ouija:
ONLINE OUIJA STRANGENESS
On Halloween night, my girlfriend and I were playing on the computer. I was looking for a Ouija board to buy online, and decided that since it was Halloween I'd just look and see if there was an online Ouija. I found one with no problem.
We asked all the normal questions, like its name and all that, along with some stupid questions and gave us a nice laugh out of the whole thing. I think it said its name was Sprite, which I really thought was funny.
After a few questions and as the joking died down, I was about to wrap it all up and get back to searching for a real board, so I asked a couple more questions:
"Where are you right now?" (Which I asked several times and always got the same response.)
CLOSE BY, it responded.
"Where?
CLOSE BY.
I asked one more time, "Where exactly is close by?"
My girlfriend reached over and turned off the lamp next to the bed, and just as she did that, it replied with: TOO DARK.
I typed in, "What do you mean 'too dark'?"
TOO DARK, it replied again.
So I asked if it was saying that because she turned off the light.
YES, it replied. Then I asked of it could still see us. CAN'T SEE. TOO DARK. NEED LIGHT, it replied all in one motion, which really had me more surprised as we went along.
I ended the session not long after, but the whole thing was odd to me. My girlfriend thought nothing of it, but when the thing replied TOO DARK about five seconds after she turned off the light was weird. I just did it as a Halloween type thing, but it ended up being rather strange. It makes me wonder if it was just a random computer-generated response, or if maybe there was something controlling the thing. I guess that's why they call them mysteries though. - Shawn B.
DO-IT-YOURSELF OUIJA SESSION
This happened to me on March 19, 2011. I had been feeling a strange presence around me, which has made me unable to sleep. A friend of mine, who lives far away, told me one of her friends was possessed. I wanted to find out more about all this, so I decided to have a Ouija session.
There weren't any available around where I live, so I made one myself. Simple, but equally as dangerous. I organized my session in a simple way because I only planned to have a short session, aware of how dangerous this was. I placed a big orange candle at the front of my parent's room, a Bible next to it, the Ouija Board, a piece of paper and a marker.
I began with my little prayer: "I believe in spirits, white magic and elemental protection, which will be given to me and anyone near. Is there any monster, creature, spirit, or any other supernatural being who would like to speak?" I waited for a minute, and began to have doubts because this ritual took place at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Then, I felt a slight pull on my planchette. It landed on YES. I asked this being's name. It spelt out BILL. I asked if he knew about anyone who had been possessed in any way. He said NO. I asked for the man's age. He said 68.
I didn't want to make this ritual any longer, so I said, "Thank you for visiting. Good-bye." Bill didn't want to leave because I could feel the planchette move to NO. Then I said louder, "Good-bye," and the planchette was moving faster toward NO.
Then, almost yelling, I said, "Good-bye," and forced the planchette to move to GOOD-BYE. I immediately closed the board, blew out the candle and stayed still. I recorded this, so I went and turned off the camera. I felt scared, and prayed that nothing would happen.
I went to the movies later on, and when I went back home, my dad said I had to go to sleep. I said "no." He told me, "Laura, get to bed." I said no again and said I felt a strange presence. Then I was about to cry. My dad escorted me to my room, and I told him, "If you feel any paranormal activity in your room, say, 'Bill, you are unwanted. Leave.'"
Dad must've thought I was insane, but he nodded. I went to bed, heard a BANG noise. I hid under the covers until I fell asleep. - Laura S.
