My Experience with the Ouija

When I was younger, I delved a little into the dark arts. Things like the Ouija, tarot cards, and black magic fascinated me to no end. I read many books on those subjects and became quite informed about many things. But soon I discovered that those things can open doors you may not want opened.

I was a single mother on a very tight budget, so it was difficult for me to afford things like Ouija boards or other occult items. But I was so curious and just had to have one. I had done some reading on the subject, and found out that if you make your own board, that it can be just as good as a store-bought board, and in some cases, could even be much more powerful. This is what I chose to do, so I began asking around for items I could use to make one.

I realized that the traditional boards are usually made of wood, but they don't have to be. I had to be resourceful and use what was available to me. A friend provided me with a dry-erase whiteboard and I bought a permanent black magic marker in which to print the letters and numbers. For the planchette (message indicator), I used a small glass ashtray; it worked wonderfully.

Now I was ready to begin playing with my new homemade Ouija board. All I needed was a partner, which was very easy for me to find, because I hung out with some very eccentric people back then that were into all sorts of strange things. In fact, I even had volunteers, so we had many sessions with the new board.

After a few days of fun, some very strange things began to happen around my home. Stereos and radios turning themselves on at full volume, coffee cups rolling across the table before my eyes, which is not a normal occurrence because of the handle, but I assure you, I saw this. There were noises that seem to come from nowhere, items that went missing, glowing eyes in the darkness, rushes of cold air swept through rooms, and so on. This went on over the course of about two years. It was especially troubling to my daughter, who was still very young at the time. We moved several times, thinking that whatever it was would stay behind, but we were wrong. It followed us to each and every place we went. It wasn't until I actually moved to another town that these occurrences came to a halt. I am still unsure of the reasons why; I'm just glad it ended, and so is my daughter.

I am relatively positive that the sessions we had on that homemade Ouija board opened some cosmic doorway that allowed unwanted spirits to enter my home. Therefore, I don't think playing with a Ouija board is such a good idea for someone unskilled in the dark arts. You may be opening yourself up for something far worse than what I had to deal with. Talking boards and having ghosts running around in your house may sound like a ton of fun to some folks, but it is actually quite unsettling. I do not recommend using a Ouija board to anyone...ever.
