My friend, Charlotte, and I decided to try it out because we'd heard so many stories about it at school. We were at my house (a really old two storey house) and we set up the board using the letters and board of the game Scrabble, we then wrote yes, no maybe, hello, goodbye and numbers 0 - 9 on a piece of paper and placed that in the middle of the letters. Then we took a fifty cent piece (Australian money) and used that as the "orb".
It had been in my money box for about a month and was icy cold (it was winter) - you'll need to know this. Then we realised that we didn't know how to start, so we made it all up. We closed the curtains because it was about 4:00pm. We were in my room because ever since we moved to the house I live in now I'd always felt "something" was watching me or standing behind me and I wanted to know who/what it was.
Well, anyway, we made up a chant that we said three times ("By the Power of the Spirits, come to us"). This chant worked really well and I have used it for all my other experiences and have always had good spirits. (I think this is good because I do ouijas out of historical interest etc.)
Almost straight away we got something. We asked questions like :
Is there anybody there? -YES
Are you of Gods world? -YES
So you are a good spirit? -YES
Are you male or female? -M

Can you tell us how you died? -YES
How did you die?- D-R-O-W-N-E
Where did you drown? -P-A-R-K...D-O-W-N...T-H-E-R-E
(At this point the curtains
billowed out <windows were closed>. Charlotte and I
were terrified but because "Byron" was of God
we
continued the seance. Note that from my window you can
see a park two streets away with a small lake and sewage
pipe.)

Goodbye Byron
At this point all the lights in the house dimmed and flickered, then came back to bright. Charlotte and I picked up the 50c and said "please leave us" as the ending chant and blew on the coin. (I had been told that this removes any bad spirits that have used the opening of the realms as a way to escape). The coin was boiling hot in the middle and got cooler towards the edges.
Now, when I go into my room, I feel a light warm air, and I always say "Hi Byron" and go about whatever I came to my room for. Also, recently we got a cat, and I heard that cats and dogs have like a sense and can see things the human eye can't. It\s always funny when he is in my room, I think Byron teases him. I watch my cat and he stares at something next to me and then follows it with his head and it twists and slides everywhere, it is hilarious.
Well that's my story. Now it's 2001 and I am 16. I've done a few more seances and one was with the same friend at her house and we got in contact with the spirit of her baby brother who died. She is really happy that she had the chance to talk to him, but she was upset when we were talking to him, now she is at peace about it and I hope her brother is as well.
Also, I read on the site that someone had an experience in a school library, so did I, but not with a devil or demon. It was quite exciting, given that I go to a catholic school.
