| OK, first of all I am just
going to say that I am not sure about Ouija boards. I
neither believe nor disbelieve. But after my experience I
have become more interested in the idea of the Ouija
board being real. Even though it doesn't make sense that
they sell them at Toys R Us for $16. If it is real, wouldn't they take more precautions? I would also like to say that I am just like any other fifteem year old girl. I do not go to church but I did when I was younger, and I have no strong beliefs other than about their being a higher form of power. I had heard stories about Ouija boards before, one of them from my step mother. When she was a child she was using a Ouija board in her attic with her siblings. They were asking questions and the "being" started getting mad and the glass went from side to side of the board, moving faster and faster. All of a sudden it went shooting across the attic and smashed the window. That was the last time she had ever used one. I used the Ouija board with one of my friends out of sheer boredom and for the rush of adrenaline of being scared. Anyways here is my story: My friend, Jen, and I were at my Grandma's house for the weekend and were really bored. We started talking about Ouija board experiences and séances. We started getting a little freaked out. Especially since my cousin and I swore we saw a ghost in the very room we were in. Jen and I decided to make a Ouija board. We simply took a peice of paper wrote the letters and numbers, GOODBYE and YES and NO. We put little stars and crosses etc. around the outside. We used a vinegar top as our "moving glass". Then we sat on our bed and put the paper on a smooth wooden surface. We both agreed that we wouldn't move it or ask questions about when we were going to die. We would take turns asking questions. We moved the glass around the board and then in circles to warm it up. After that we asked "Ouija, are you there?" At first the board did nothing, but after a minute or so it moved to YES. Since I knew I wasn't moving it, I just thought that Jen was. So I just went along with it. It said his name was Trevor and that he had died two years ago in a car accident. We asked whether he knew either of us and he said YES. He knew me. Trevor said that he knew my cousin Lindsay and that he went to hockey with my cousin Mark. We kept talking to him and after awhile it started getting creepy. He kept telling me to go to the bathroom. We would ask why and he would say he wanted to "SEE" me. Neither of us went so it kept going on about it. We asked him what he wanted and he said PHONE HER NOW. It was like 3am and I wasn't about to phone anyone. So we kept saying no. Eventually we took our hands off because we didn't know what else to say. We were just talking to each other when I noticed Jen was staring at the board. She tapped me on the shoulder and pointed at the board. The vinegar top was moving by itself. It went to H then E then L before Jen pushed the top off the board. I put it back on and told her to put her hand back on it. I asked Trevor what he was trying to write before and he said HELP ME. Then he said GO TO THE BATHROOM again and again. Jen took off her hand and said "No!" Then she took the top off the board so it wouldn't move. All of a sudden the bed started shaking lightly (it is a Haida bed by the way) and I looked over at Jen and a look of horror ran over her face. The bed started shaking harder, then it stopped. The bed dipped beside me (as if a person were sitting there) and then I started shaking uncontrollably. I think that I was shaking in part because I was scared but I also think it was more than that. I kept shaking and couldn't stop, my whole body was moving and I couldn't stop it. Tears started running down my face, I have never been so scared. This went on for quite some time and Jen just sat there watching me. I kept whispering make it stop, please stop! I knew I couldn't go to my Gramma because she would literally freak out on us. (Trust me she gives me lectures on everything!) Jen told me she felt really heavy and tired all of a sudden and I stopped moving. Her eyes closed. I watched in horror as her arms started twitching and her eyes fluttered. After a few minutes of this she sat straight up. She asked me what had happened. I told her but she did not remember even falling asleep. After that we put the game under the bed and went under the covers and stayed there. I did not sleep much but I couldn't stop thinking about the Ouija board. The next morning my Grandma woke us up around lunch time and took us out for lunch with my stepmom and her little kids. We were drawing pictures with crayon when all of a sudden something came over my hand. It felt like it was paralyzed and all of a sudden it started writing something. It wrote HELP ME in big letters. It was so weird watching my hand write something when I didn't even know what it was writing. Then the feeling went away. After that we went into Zellers and were walking through the stuffed animal department. Suddenly all the animals on the 2nd shelf fell over in a row, like someone was pushing them. It didn't stop there either, that night when I was taking a shower the curtain kept on moving and the window was not open and the vent wasn't on, then when I got out of the shower on the mirror in the condensation it said HELP ME. Sometimes I could swear I could feel him too. So, the next night, we decided we would talk to him for a few minutes but if it started getting scary again we would stop. He kept saying HELP ME and Jen kept saying "no". Then he started calling Jen names and saying perverted things. The phone rang and it was my boyfriend. I talked to him for a minute or so but all of a sudden the line went dead and then the board started spelling out, all by itself, HOLD ME. Then we put our hands back on and it wrote I LOVE YOU. And then GO TO THE BATHROOM. We asked "why?" and he said to "SEE" me. We stopped after that. We left my Gramma's the next day and we had to take a ferry to get home. Jen said she didn't think that he could follow us over water. We also left the Ouija board hidden at my Gramma's because people told us that you can't just throw the board out. That was the last that I heard of Trevor for quite a while. However, there was one more thing that happened and I am not sure whether it is linked to this or not. I went over to my cousins Mark and Lindsay one day and a friend of Mark's friends was over. As soon as I went downstairs Mark's friend said "Hi" to me and he knew my name. I thought nothing of it, assuming that maybe Mark had told him. Then, when I was watching TV, he came and put his hands on my shoulders and he felt really cold. He started asking me things, like "How is Jen?" (This could have been a set-up but) neither Mark nor Lindsay have ever heard about Jen. A short time later, when I went to the bathroom, he followed me and said "I told you to go to the bathroom" and then tried to corner me. I ran out of there all freaked out. A couple minutes later the guy came back but he acted like nothing happened. Mark introduced me to his friend and his friend asked me what my name was. When he met me before he definitely knew my name. Now the guy acted totally different. If anyone has any idea what this all means or whatever, let me know. Please post this on your website so I can get people to email me back about it. |
