This is the story of Eddie's first séance. Eddie has since conducted many séances (at least 42) and is happy to answer people's questions about them. He can be contacted on skateman@rocketmail.com First and foremost I would like to point out that I don't think that what Eddie did in this first séance was very sensible. I'd advise to NEVER deliberately try to talk to demons. Even if séances are nothing more than self-delusion you could quite easily terrify yourself with that sort of thing. If they are something more and you do talk to a demon - who is to say that it will leave you alone afterwards. That said, it is my belief that some sort of self-delusion was the most likely cause behind Eddie's first séance. I have never heard of Damian/Damien being the Devil. OK, he was the child of Satan in "The Omen" (books and films) but that was fiction, not documentary. If anyone knows better then let me know and I'll consider revising my opinion. Even if it was not entirely self-delusion I think a better parapsychological explanation would be that there was a mischievous spirit/ghost involved who was just playing with Eddie's mind and was happy to be whoever Eddie and Fred wanted it to be. That's enough editorial - on with Eddie's experience ... The first time I heard about Ouija Boards I was 12 years old. A friend of mine introduced it to me as "just a game" but I could see his fear of ending up possessed or something like that. I thought he meant an electrical game so I said "Pure shit!" because I thought there was no fun, the "thing" would answer all your questions with a random yes or no and some random-but-coherent words and things like that. That's because he told me "You play it with lights off" so I thought he meant that the game has some light in it, you put in batteries and all that stuff. Well, one day I was informed that the new game room in the High School was going to open and it was going to have some new games in it (Guess Who, Monopoly, card games, a TV, a Sega Genesis with Sonic Spinball and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 ... and a Ouija board). The school bought it because the game says "for ages 8 and up". The next day I was on a free period so I went check it out. I saw three guys "moving" the oracle so I thought "They're moving it, it's so obvious". But then they had to leave so the board was free. A friend of mine (Fred) and I started to read all the instructions. We each put two fingers on the message indicator and I asked "May we play this game?" To my surprise, the board moved and I told Fred "Hey man don't move it!" He said he wasn't moving it. So, we started playing Ouija for the first time. We were asking questions like "Who are you?" SILMASTA SIL "Where are you?" HELL "Are you the Devil himself" YES We weren't scared, although all the people around us chickened out. We kept talking to the devil and he told us a lot of things. We asked "Do you love god?" and the board said a frenetic NO! so fast that I even took my hand off the board for a second and I hit the guy who was in front of me. We kept talking about who he was and all that kind of stuff. Then Fred said "You're not the Devil. I want to speak to the Devil. I wanna speak to DAMIAN" so we started talking to a spirit that could even read our minds. I was about to say "Hi Damian" but he had already answered HI EDDIE really fast. I said "Can we move this board by ourselves?" NO I tried to move the oracle but I couldn't. It was sticking to the board. I tried to lift it but I lifted everything (the oracle and the board). I said "Damian, why are you stopping me from moving the oracle?" YOU SOB "What?" SON OF BITCH "Why?" RELIGION (I'm an atheist, but I've had some experiences with Satanism in the past.) Later, we had to go to the classroom so I said "Can I go?" NO "Why?" SOB "I have to go" NO "Why?" POSSESS "What?" YOU MINE "Do you mean that I'm possessed?" YES "Why?" OUIJA Fred said "Long life to the heaven kingdom ... can I go?" DAMN YOU "Can I go?!!!" YES I had to say the same thing so I could leave. |
