| When I was about twelve years
old my friend and I had borrowed a ouija board from her
aunt. My parents had gone out that day, so we had plenty
of time to have our fun with it. We went upstairs to my bedroom, sat on the floor with the ouija board between us. We began to ask it many of questions and somehow it answered them correctly. We could hardly believe that it actually worked, for a moment I thought my friend was moving it and she thought the same about me. I said "OK, if we both claim we are not moving it then I will take my hands off and ask it something in my mind." She agreed to what I said, then I tried it. At that time I had a crush on this boy I went to school with so in my mind I asked the ouija who was my crush. Well to my amazement it answered correctly, my friend and I was totally shocked, I couldn't believe this was actually happening. There was no way in my mind that a piece of board with letters on it could know all this stuff, but it was true - it really did work. Just then, my parents came home and my friend and I were scared of getting caught so we picked up the ouija without saying goodbye and threw it in my closet. Now, my mom is totally against this sort of stuff and I knew that she would totally freak out. We went outside to walk around but the only thing we could talk about was that ouija boared. Then I finally realized something - "What does Goodbye mean at the bottom of the board?" I asked my friend. She told me that she wasn't to sure and that we should go ask her aunt, so we did. Her aunt told us that we should never leave the board without saying goodbye because it leaves a door open for the spirit to be released. Well, right there I was totally freaked out because the ouija was in my bedroom. After we had talked to her aunt, my friend had to go home. I went home and ran upstairs to make sure the board was well hidden from my mom. I walked in my room, shut the door and right away I had a strange feeling like something was there. A feeling that I was being watched. I left my room and went downstairs to watch tv. Later on during the night my mom ended up finding the ouija. She kept asking me all these questions like, where did I get it? did you play it? so on and so on. She was so angry that she broke the ouija in half over her leg, but that wasn't good enough for her. She then took a lighter and tried burning it but the board wouldn't catch on fire, she even put hair spray all over it and it still wouldn't burn. Finally it got thrown in the garbage. After that incident was over, I slept with my light on at night because of the feelings I would get in my room. About a month later something happened to me that I will never forget. I awoke from my sleep to find the blankets off of me, so I covered myself back up and lay there trying to fall asleep again. No more than a minute later, I heard a voice whisper my name "Doonnnnaaa". The voice did it three times and the fear that I had felt through my entire body is almost undescribable. It was like an instant panic starting from my feet and shooting up to my chest, where it stayed. I could feel my heart pounding rapidly, I wanted to leave or scream for my mom but I was completely paralyzed by my fear. I looked over to where the voice seemed to come from (between the wall and my bed) but saw nothing. At first, I was hoping that it was someone playing a sick joke on me but there was no way that someone could fit in the space between the wall and bed. So after realizing that it was something I couldn't see, I began to say the "Our Father" prayer. After I was done the fear had left my body, I now felt like somethig good had taken the evil away. Then I fell asleep. After that incident I have never tampered with anything dealing with the unknown. It was an event that I will never forget. So, just for those who are curious or want to tamper with things like this, be careful because messing with something you don't know or can't see could become much more serious then you think. |
