The planchette, seemingly under its own power, zigged and zagged slowly across the board, moving from one letter to another, spelling out the word “B-E-E-L-Z-E-B-U-L.".

Lest anyone doubt, on a hot summer day several decades ago, a group of young catholic high school girls gathered in the home of one girl and had an identical experience. I was the one responsible for writing down the letters and deciphering the phrases. Like the boys in this story, we too met Satan. We also doubted and continued to play along. The house turned cold (the family did not have air conditioning). The family cat sauntered into the house, arched its back, screeched and immediately bolted back outside.

Recognizing what was happening, I asked my friend's little sister to get her mom's Rosary Beads. We placed these on the planchette and watched in horror as it levitated and shot forward into the fireplace (which was not burning).

Throughout the ages, the Ouija Board has held its place as an 'innocent' game, sold at the local Toys R Us. For those with children, be alert and counsel your children. Whatever you do, don't let this 'game' into your homes.

I have related this story to several groups of Rel Ed students over the years. If you are involved in teaching the faith, PLEASE make inquiries about divination and counsel them against this evil device.

...Whatever you do, don't let this 'game' into your homes...

My brother and I had this game when we were kids. Played it for hours.

Neither of us became "possessed" or had any unusual experiences.

The only thing I remember from those sessions was it predicted that Romania would win World War 3.

It's funny how animals can pick up on evil presence when people cannot.

Friends of mine had a woman who would visit their store. Every time she came in, their dog that never barked would go crazy. The strange thing was that it didn't bark at her but an invisible entity that was with her.

Eventually, they visited her home, whereupon, they learned that she was a full blown witch.

I can't remember for sure, but I think she told them about her demon companion as well.

It was invented in 1890. I know that seems like, really ages ago, but it's not.

Thanks for the story and your post.

Scoffers abound, but all we can do is warn.

I refer skeptics to the reviews of the ouija board game at Amazon.
