| When I was about 12 years old
my father bought me a ouija board. It was the typical one
bought in toy stores. I didn't learn about use of the
board until the movie Witchboard came out several years
later, so of course I didn't follow the rules. I used it
alone, didn't say "Goodbye" at the end and left
the handpiece facing down on the board when I put it away.
I kept this board in a closet in our computer room which
was right next to the computer. One day, I was home alone playing a game on our computer sitting next to the closet (it was a large walk in closet). The door to the closet, fortunately, was closed. While I was on the computer, I heard a growl in the closet and something began to bang on the door as if trying to get out. I could actually see the door banging around. Now there was not an earthquake that day and we really don't get them. I was the only one in the house and my dog was outside. I didn't bother to look in the closet but I knew nothing was in there. I was too busy sprinting out of there as fast as I could. I ran outside and down the street and waited until my mother came home. I didn't talk about this incident until I was 18. I also didn't use that board. By that time I had seen the movie Witchboard and was convinced that I had somehow done something wrong. I had a friend at that time who knew quite a bit about the supernatural. I told him about it and he took the board away. I don't know what he did with it. I few years ago (when I was in my early 20's) I was talking to my youngest sister. There are four of us, I am the oldest and she is ten years younger than I am. Somehow the topic of the computer room came up. I said I hated going in there because it was scary. Her eyes got big and she told me how much she was scared of it too, like something was in there. I told her about my incident years ago. I was somewhat relieved that someone else was afraid of that room and it wasn't just my overactive imagination. There is about zero percent possibility of my parents' house being haunted (I now have my own house with my husband, only my youngest sister is still there). The house was built in the 1970's and only one other family has lived in it. I knew that family and no one has died there. Before houses were built, the entire area was used as farmland, so there can't be any spirits there from that. The only thing I can think of is something came through the board. I just wonder if it's still there. My sister and I still have feelings in that room. |
