Ghost Story #2 – The Ouija Board

While I was always fascinated by Ouija boards (I got my first from my mom for my birthday when I was about 9), I never really believed in them. I’d always get messages like “stay away”, “danger”, & other ominous things for no apparent reason. I quite quickly realized how easily people can manipulate objects they’re not even trying to move. Or how often people will intentionally move things to make an experience more fun, lol!

In high school, I had a friend who did too much acid. She always said she was very in tune with spirits, & she was always saying she’d have weird things happen to her, & she’d get messages or feelings at random times. Even when she was sober. Of course, nobody believed her because she was so “out there”, but then one night we were bored & playing with the Ouija board in our other friend’s basement. I decided to take a break to smoke a cigarette because the “spirits we were talking to” were boring, and she asked if there was anyone I wanted to contact. I figured why not, & told her to try to contact my mom. And she did. It was the freakiest thing I’d ever experienced. I spent most of the time just asking tricky questions that no one else would know, & it was unbelievable! She didn’t have a whole lot of energy to work with, but she ended with something along the lines of “take care of your father, because no one else will”, and no truer words have ever been spoken. I took care of him for the rest of his life.

Moral of the story – don’t discount the Ouija board. Or hippies LOL
