I once made the mistake of checking out the occult – with an Ouija board
The Ouija board started as a pleasant diversion, a fun little game; until the marker started to move on it's own. A "spirit" took control of the board, and soon we were receiving messages. The "spirit" started pleasant enough, but soon became malevolent. The hairs on the back of our neck would rise, and neighborhood dogs would go crazy. Soon it didn't need the board, just possessing people. It got to the point where we could tell it was coming by listening to the dogs bark and whine, first in the distance then next door. Visitors would feel the presence without any coaching. Soon we had no visitors, because - "something doesn't feel right". It became extremely bothersome and - a bit frightening.
It ain’t “just a game”. We moved from the place, burned the board and forgot about the occult.
My mother, God rest her soul, had a similar experience when she was young.
Apparently her and her sisters got a hold of a Ouija board and began asking it questions.
It was all fun and games until the board told them that there uncle had a girlfriend. (he was married at the time)
She swore to me that there was no way any of them could have known that, but sure enough he was found out to have
a little on the side, and the board even got the name right.
I forget the details, but those boards are not nice. I wonder where they come from originally?
