| It was a warm summer day in
Yakima, and my friend Rachel and I (Alexandria) were
playing on a home made ouija board. We got in contact
with a man that said he was Rachel's old boyfriend.
Rachel hadn't seen "Steve" in about four years
so it could have been him for all we knew. We started asking questions about when he died and where he was buried. He told us that he was buried in the Naches cemetery, so we decided to go look for his headstone, well "Steve" told us not to and we told him that we were going to anyway. We drove out to Naches and went straight to the graveyard. We looked all through it and didn't find a single one that had his name on it. We got back in the car and drove through Naches looking for his old house when Rachel stopped the car and got out, and told me to do the same. I asked her why and all she said was "spider" . The spider I saw was kind of white transparent, I had never seen one like it before! I jumped out of the car and just stared at it. Rachel killed the spider after a few minutes and we got back in and drove to a nearby gas station. As I went to reach down to grab my wallet there was another spider, excactly the same as the first one, crawling on the speaker wire. I jumped back and told Rachel about it, she came around and the spider jumped out at her, so she stepped on it and killed it. We decided to clean the car out completley. When we were done, we headed back to Yakima, looking around the car the whole time to make sure there was no more spiders. We went back to the car and by now it was about 11:50pm. We got the ouija back out and spoke to "Steve" and asked if he was responsible for the spiders and he said YES. I asked if we were going to see any more that night and he told us NO, so I asked if we were going to see any more at all, and of course, he said YES! We left the park and were driving down "Washington Street" when Rachel started changing lanes back and forth, I asked what she was doing and she said "Just pulling in here". Of course I didn't think about it because "Steve" told us we wouldn't see any more that night! Rachel stopped the car and said to get out because there was another spider. We both jumped out and decided to destroy the home made Ouija right then and there. The only thing that we didn't destroy was the shotglass that we used for the spade (planchette - ed). Then Rachel went over and killed the third spider, we got in the car and left the parking lot. We then decided to go to Denny's and stay there till the sun came up. We sat there for about 5 hours, until we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer when we decided to go home. When we got to the car we checked it to make sure there were no more spiders in there. Rachel opened the door and, sure enough, there was the fourth spider ... sitting where it should have been squashed ... but it was very much alive. The waiter that we had had came outside for his break and he asked what was going on. Like idiots we told him and he turned around and went back inside. Great, he is going to call the funny farm on us. A couple minutes later he came back out holding a spray bottle with something in it and he sprayed the spider. The spider then fell to the ground where the waiter stepped on it. We said thank you and I turned back around and about an inch away from where the other one was, there was Spider Number 5! I was so fed up by now that I killed it myself. After that we got in the car and went home. On the way Rachel told me to remind her to tell me something when we get home. A few minutes later I said "Rachel, do you realize what number we are on? " She said " That is what I was gonna tell you" Well we made it home with out seeing any more spiders. I grabbed my bag and we went into the house. I sat my bag down and went to get something out of it and there on the back was Number 6! To this day I have not seen another one of those spiders again! As for "Steve" we saw him two days later at a bar in Yakima. Kind of ironic huh? skeptika's note and addendum: When editing this for posting, I noted that the end of the tale seemed to be missing something. There seemed to be an indication that Alexandria and her friend knew that there was going to be a sixth spider. I wrote her and asked whether Steve had predicted the number and got this response: "He didn't tell us how many spiders there would be, but the number six just kind of scares us I guess you could say. Just the thought of six spiders, only six. To this day I have not seen another spider that looked like the ones we saw that day and we had never seen one before. We are very into this, so when we realized that we were about to get Number 6 (as in 666) we just knew it would be there, because we knew that "Steve" wasn't really who he said he was and was someone, well, evil I guess you could say!?" |
