Ouija Board
Aug 6th, 2007 | By butterfly | Category: Ouija BoardsWhen my friend and I were in high school, we loved to play with the Ouija Board. We would spend the night at each other’s homes and stay up late at night asking the usual young girl questions: Who will I marry? How many children will I have? Will I graduate from college? One night we ventured into new territory and asked: Will I go to heaven or hell when I die?
Our hands were on the Ouija Board, that’s how you use it, four fingertips lightly resting on the moving thing. And I swear, we did not push it. That plastic thing with the little nail in it slowly moved to the H. Then it moved to the A. And back to the H. Then back to the A. Back and forth it went, faster and faster. It wouldn’t stop. We tried asking different questions to redirect it but it kept saying Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. The board was laughing at us. And with perfect timing, a scorpion ran across the bedroom floor at exactly that moment.
Okay, that was it. We were scared silly and as I remember it, never touched that Ouija Board again!
When I was in high school a bunch of girls had a slumber party. I didn’t play with the Ouija board but some other girls did. I wouldn’t tell anyone what my ACT score was, so they asked the board. It gave them the correct answer! It was really hard to keep a straight face and pretend it was incorrect.
When I was probably in the 5th or 6th grade, we were at a family friend’s house. Myself, my youngest brother, and their oldest daughter who I believe was 16 at the time. We were in her room and playing with one of the Parker Brothers cardboard Ouija Boards. After we were done, it was sitting on the floor and I was sitting on the bed. I made a comment about it being stupid. All of a sudden, it started shaking, lifted off the floor, and came flying at me. It was hurled with so much force, so fast, that when I ducked and it missed me, it buried half way into a sheet rock bedroom wall. I have never messed with one since.
