My friends and I never had a ouija board on hand, so we improvised. Just a little background, I was sort of the unspoken leader of our little group. We all live in a rural area, which bears an evil air past dusk. Prior to each séance we used the Tabor Formulation (a special breathing technique) to set the right mood. David, Dustin, Eddie and I all decided to have a seance one night in Dustin's basement, which we now believe is haunted due to our foolishness. We went downstairs into "the room" and got everything set up. We put three white candles in a triangle on the table, played soft music in the background, set some incense burning, and suspended a flashlight from the ceiling. The flashlight had a red filter on it as red light is supposed to be a call to spirits. We began. All four of us held hands and began the breathing. The breathing clears the mind and places everone into a slight trance. Once we felt ready, we called the spirits to come. A short while later, David said that he could see his grandfather, but soon after, he began speaking AS his grandfather. He said that he felt heat on his stomach. And the rest of him felt numb and cold. We spoke with him for a while and then he said that there were others there with us. He looked at each of them and he indicated that one was standing behind me. I did NOT turn around. I was shaking, scared and filled with an awesome paralytic dread. (Later eddie and dustin told me that they saw a shadow on the wall of a man and a slight haze in front of it.) I just continued to breathe in the Tabor fashion. I have never had a possessor, because I wear my father's cross. Dustin and Eddie, did not seem as affected as me and they talked to David's possessor for a while. Suddenly, David suddenly let out a terrifying scream, and stood up. His chair went backwards with a screech he stood so fast! Tears were streaming from his eyes and he began crying like an infant, looked around and then huddled into a fetal position. After this we had had enough, so we all ran upstairs to get away! Once there, I noticed that David's shirt ( which had leather stripes & vinyl letters ) was partially melted! I said to David, "Dave? when your stomach felt hot earlier, where at on your stomach was it?" He began to show us and, at that point, we all suddenly realized that, somehow, the letters on his shirt had spontaneously melted. All we could do was stand there and look at one another! We were all shaking in fear. Then I remembered that we had never closed the seance. This is bad because all sorts of things could be floating around downstairs in the basement. So, we all started back down the stairs. The first thing we did was try to turn on the light but - click - it blew. Now we had no light and we all stood in a pretty dark basement with no light but from the falshlight in "that room". I wanted to scream and run, but I couldn't, so we all held hands and walked back into the room. The flashlight was swaying, like a breeze was blowing it, but there was no air to be felt. We grabbed the light & blew out the candles and ran back toward the stairs, nearly alling over each other! Our only light was the red flashlight. I ripped the red filter off on the way up so I could find my way up the stairs. Once upstairs, we vowed never to go in that room in the basement again. A few years later and that room is still there but no one goes down in it anymore. Dustins brother now lives in that house with his wife but we never told them or anyone else about our experience in the basement. |
