You should have kept at it, I guarantee you, something would have happened.
I don't need a Ouija board to have strange things happen in my life.
Not to stray too far off topic but I seem to have something that follows me. I guess you could call it a spirit. I don't really know. My wife thought me a bit crazy until she started to share in my experiences. Whatever or who ever it is, it isn't "evil" but more playful or just noisy. It's been around ever since I was a kid.
I dunno. It "reveals" itself in different ways a couple of times a year just to let us know it is still around.
