When I was 12 years old, my friend Dylan and I were having a sleep over at my house. I was babysitting my 8 year old sister Stacey. Dylan and I were down stairs (where some rather odd things have been happening) and Stacey was upstairs in my parent's bedroom watching television with the door closed. I had told her Dylan and I were going to go downstairs for a little bit and that she shouldn't come down or turn on any lights, since we were using the Ouija board and wanted the best results. We set up for everything and turned off all the lights and lit a candle. The Ouija Board was set out in front of us and we were on either side. For a few minutes we just sat there and waited with our fingers on the planchette. There was a soft knock in the bathroom, only about 15 feet away. So I asked if there was a spirit present, the planchette moved to "YES". Dylan and I started talking to it, and there was something blowing on the candle. Dylan held her breath as did I. The candle flame still blew. There was a loud crash in the bathroom and Dylan and I were both getting really freaked out. We both decided to go upstairs for a while to decide what to do next. I blew out the candle and went upstairs. We went downstairs once again to try to get this entity to go away. The doors were all closed and the candle was lit. I was getting very, very scared now. From what I knew about ghosts and spirits, they couldn't do anything physical except close and shut doors and make noises. I knew that the spirit had to be evil (which this nameless one was) and very powerful to effect the living world. Dylan started to talk to it (the entity didn't like me and wouldn't answer to my questions) the entity had said it died of torture, so Dylan used that against it. The entity left and the house was still. Both of us turned on all the lights in the house we possibly could, except the downstairs bathroom, and decided to do a house blessing. Neither of us goes to the local church so we couldn't get the minister there to do a blessing. So I did it. What we did was take purified water and my mother's rosary and put them in a glass container for 21 minutes. After that I put on my cross and went into every room of the house and said a prayer while putting "Holy" water in the shape of a cross. The house then had a purified, peaceful feeling, and nothing like that ever happened again.

I had always wanted a Ouija board even after reading allot of stuff on the net about how dangerous they are. I guess the fact that I am into all aspects of the paranormal field made me want one even more. My parents bought me one for Christmas and much to my delight they agreed to "play" with the board one night. We asked it random questions which I cannot remember but the one thing that stuck out vividly in my mind and still does to this day is the board telling us that my father will die due to a massive heart attack! We all looked at each other and thought yeah right, this board is just a game nothing will happen like it said it would. We continued to mess with the board for 30 minutes longer and then went to bed laughing at what we were told by the board. Oh I forgot to mention one very important point, The person that we contacted that night said he was the devil! Anyway the next day we woke up and started our day like normal and all was well, my father was fine, as was my mother. A little bit later my mother and father informed me that they were going to go grocery shopping and they left only to return with some very disturbing news that I overheard them talking about. When they were shopping my dad was overcome by chest pains bad enough for him to be seen by the doctor the next day, I know what your thinking, he should have went to see the doctor when it happened but he is a very stubborn MAN. The doctor told him that he had a very mild heart episode, not quite a heart attack but not too damn far from one either! I got rid of that board immediately when I found out what had happened. You might be a skeptic but the board told us that it would happen and the next day after messing with the board it did!!!! I will never touch a Ouija board again but the scary thing is I have had a severely strong urge to make my own and I keep fighting that urge because of what happened to my father 3 years ago. IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT PLAYING WITH A OUIJA BOARD IS DANGEROUS THINK AGAIN!!!!!!!!

My name is Marnie and I am from Australia and this is my story. One night when I was about eleven my brother who was twelve had a friend come and stay at our place. Our house was not haunted so it's hard to know why or how this happened. But my brother and his friend had found an Ouija board and decided to play with it but would not let me join in so I just sat and watched. At first I was convinced it was all rubbish that they were moving it when they started talking to a man who called him self the watcher who spelt out words like hell and death and other not very nice words. To say the least I was so scarred I thought my heart was going to beat right out of my chest! Every one but us three were out that night and my brother and his friend started to get scarred but would not leave well enough alone. The planchette flew across the room and the candles started to flicker wildly when there was no wind or breeze from any where because all doors and windows were shut and locked tightly because we were home alone! The curtains started to raise as though there was a major breeze the door to my mums rooms down the hall slammed shut and our lounge room light shattered and we heard a young woman scream a blood curdling scream yet there was no one but me my brother and his friend so to this day when we discuss it we have no explanation as to what happened we never told my mum she would have got so mad and to this day non of us have ever played with the dangerous and unknown!!!

My best friend Kayla and I decided to get an Ouija bored to see if it really worked. I wasn't positive that it did, but she knew that it did. Kayla and I were trying to get it to work for hours and it never did. So we decided to do it somewhere else, but not in the bathroom. So we went into living room and finally it happened. We encountered a spirit. At first I thought it was Kayla, but then I knew it wasn't. I heard a knock on the door and I just thought it was someone for her sister or something. I looked out the door and all I saw was a car outside. So, I sat down. A few minutes later we tried it again. It said its name was Karen. And I just thought Kayla was trying to scare me. So I went along with it. Two minutes later, the back door swung open and I saw a black figure run up the stairs. I know it wasn't Kayla and everyone was sleeping at their house. I started to freak out. After that, I heard heavy footsteps upstairs and I started to yell. Then it was completely quiet. I got up to get on the couch and all the sudden it sounded like shooting. I got under the blanket and started to pray. After I got out of the blanket, I looked in the kitchen and I saw someone staring at me. It was like I did something wrong. I started to get tears in my eyes and Kayla was just so calm. Kayla went upstairs. I told her to be careful and when she got half way up the stairs she screamed. I ran outside. When she got outside she was bleeding but she didn't know. I asked her if she tripped on anything and she said no. I took a closer look at it and it looked like a knife went into her leg. I had enough of it. I went inside thinking I was going to be all big bad and tough and all of a sudden it was like I passed out for a few seconds. I saw someone standing in front of me with a nasty look on its face. So I closed my eyes and it was slowly fading away when I opened them. But the rest of the night it was still there when I opened my eyes. Till this day Kayla and I will always sleep with the lights on.

My story started when a friend and I went on holiday for a few days to the South of England, which is supposed to be riddled with witchcraft and the like, especially in Dartmoor. We stopped in a hotel and late into the evening we got bored and went downstairs to the bar, where two staff were sitting after their shifts. They were talking about ghost stories and then we decided to play the Ouija from letters from a scrabble board and we used an upturned wine glass for the planchette. The glass started to move and everyone thought each other was moving it, so the two staff got up and left Marie and myself still playing it. It spelled out that it was her granddad then it said "Billy loves" which was her boyfriend. She kept asking me if I was moving it, but I wasn't. I asked if it could give us proof it was working and it spelled out "GOSS" which turned out to be one of the staff's surname. When we said Goss, he heard and came over and it spelled it out again. We have never met this guy before. We also asked if there was a god and the glass kept making figure of eight shapes. A few weeks after this event, something tried to possess me one night as I was climbing into bed, something hit me in the back, but I could tell it wasn't human, this happened three times over a period of about one minute, each time it winded the hell out of me. I prayed to god to save me and then it went. I have never messed around with the paranormal since.

I was about 16 at the time. About 10 of us from our church choir decided to gather at a one of the group's house and hang out after choir practice one night because he would be alone that night as the rest of his family were visiting relatives. We talked about it at practice and our conversation was overheard by some members that we didn't want to join our gathering, but we didn't want to hurt their feelings either. Steve, the son of the homeowner, talked one of the groups to leave early then call and pretend to be the father stating they were coming home early. We would all leave, then come back and the unwanted guests would not be the wiser. The plan was put into effect and it worked like a charm. The invited group returned in a few minutes and we sat around listening to music and cracking jokes. We decided to lock the doors and turn off most of the lights just in case the unwanted guests returned. I locked the front door myself.
One of the groups found an Ouija board in a closet and we started playing with it. There were 7 boys and 3 girls in the group and at first two boys started with the Ouija board. Nothing much happened and they gave up. I picked it up and was just looking at it when one of the girls asked if I wanted to try it with her. We did and almost immediately the pointer started moving and answering our usual kid questions. Like "what color is so-in-so's panties" and "who's going to die first" that type of questions. By this time the whole gang was hovering around us, each wanting us to ask their question. About this time the house phone rang and we all got quiet because we thought it might be Steve's parents. This was long before Caller ID so we had no way to know who was on the other end. Steve answered the phone and he got a peculiar look on his face and hung up. When asked who it was, he said that he didn't know and all they said was, "You'd better stop what you're doing". We figured it was one of the unwanted and they were trying to make us feel bad for what we did to them. We shrugged it off and continued on our merry way asking our questions of the Ouija. Next the questions became a little more sinister. We asked who was on the phone and it gave some initials (I think) of someone we didn't know. We asked if there were any ghosts present and it answered "YES". About that time all the power in the house went out. After searching for a bit we discovered the main breaker had been turned off. Not tripped as would happen with an overload, but turned OFF. Again, we thought it was one of us playing a trick on the rest of us, so we continued. Shortly after returning to the board the person that left early before to call and pretend he was Steve's father walked in the front door. He scared the hound out of us. We all kind of chuckled nervously and then he asked who was standing outside the door when he pulled into the drive. None of us had been outside and that reminded me that I had locked the front door. He said it was standing half open and there was a man about half-way in when he pulled up and when he got out of his car, they were gone. Well, the phone rang at that time and again we all got quiet. Steve answered and about the time he got the phone to his ear we all could hear a gruff deep voice coming from the receiver. Steve slammed the phone down and jumped, and I do mean JUMPED backward about 10 feet. He looked like he was scared to death and shaking as if he were freezing. He said the voice screamed, "STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!" Well, these events kind of shook us all up and we decided to heed the warning. At least for a few minutes. The girl and I started using the board again, but this time there was a sense of dread in me. Before I was having fun, but now it was as though I knew something bad would happen and sure enough it did. Joan, the girl I was on the board with, asked a question about the presence of evil. I don't remember exactly how she worded it, but the pointer started moving wildly around the board. Joan let out a scream and took her fingers off the pointer and covered her face as the pointer continued to dart from one side of the board to the other. I took my fingers off and the pointer made three more trips across the board before stopping. I mean that thing went from one side to the other, stopped briefly and went back to the other side all by itself. It might have been trying to spell something but it didn't stop long enough on any letter or number to be able to read what was beneath. By this time everyone was freaking out. The girls left and went to their respective homes. All the boys stayed over night, but none of us slept because we kept hearing voices, bumps, groans and furniture moving around in the house. We all went into the living room, the site of our night's activities to discover the whole living room furniture was rearranged. Steve got mad thinking it was one of us and when we convinced him it wasn't, we put everything back where it was before. About the time I got into bed, I heard it again and ran into the living room to catch whoever was doing it. As I got into the living room I saw the sofa sliding across the floor with no one around it. It didn't move far, only a few feet before it stopped. I turned and went back to bed. We heard those noises go on almost all night. The next day, the furniture had been rearranged again; all of the dishes and drinking glasses were sitting out on the counters. We left and Steve went with us, afraid to stay there by himself. When his parents returned later that day, he went home. He says he didn't tell his parents about the incidents and they never happened again.

I was at my friend Alyssa's house; we were in the attic looking for a board game that's when we found the Ouija board. So we put it in her room and saved it to play at midnight when no one was awake. So its midnight now and we took out the Ouija board. Alyssa warned me that this is scary shit so I thought it can't be that scary it's a game. When we started to play we asked the ghosts name and it spelled out Ann. I just thought it was an illusion or some trick so I didn't think it was a big deal or amazing. The little piece that you used to spell out the words was slowly spinning and at the same time the lights in the room was getting dim then really, really bright. I didn't care about that either I thought it was some electrical problem. Then the big mirror in her room was banging against the wall constantly and the Ouija board started moving up and down on the floor. Alyssa looked frightened then I knew Alyssa wasn't doing this. Out side of her door we herd all weird beeping sounds and we didn't wanna check because we were scared to death. Then I picked up the Ouija board and threw it at the wall when I threw this cold chill went up my spine, then suddenly everything stopped. About a month later we went to my house and did the same thing it was the same ghost named Ann and when we were playing my lights were dimming then getting really, really bright, and the TV in my room was on but it was on mute and suddenly the volume on the TV turned really loud then a pillow on my bed just randomly flew off and landed right in front of Alyssa, again I threw the Ouija board at the wall and everything stopped. After those two experiences I never even touched or looked at an Ouija board again.
If you're thinking about playing with the Ouija board you better be in for some SERIOUSE and SCARY shit.

About 13 years ago; myself and 5 friends thought it would be fun to play about making our own Ouija board (stupidly). We wrote out the letters of the alphabet, 0-9, good evil, yes and no and bye on pieces of paper. Then placed them on a table in my friend's living room with an upturned glass, we lit a candle and proceeded to attempt to contact someone. After a few failed attempts some one or thing responded at first we thought someone was pushing the glass until we asked for a relative to come through. Well my mate Barry thought it was a relative of his and began asking questions only he would know to which the correct answer came through all well and good or so we thought...... All of a sudden the glass starts getting faster and we ask for it to go to bye it went to no ...we asked if was still Barry's relative and the glass again went to no. When asked who is it the name spelt was simply DEVIL ...Ok who is the joker ... by the look on everyone's face it was none of them. Being the big clever 17 year olds we were we started to try and make it angry by asking stupid questions ( it worked ) the glass started going mad round and round and flew off the table straight into poor Darren's lap well we all jumped up ( poor Darren went to the toilet for about an hour ).
The next night we thought it a good idea to do it again, we had some new guests my cousin and her friend. Reluctantly Darren joined in again, I decided I would take notes we began with the usual is anybody there but no one answered so my cousin suggested contacting our deceased granddad. So we called for him and believe he came through great again only asked questions my self or my cousin could now (neither of us were touching the glass) again correct answers... the glass went to bye when asked. So we began again this time a spirit came through we asked are you good or evil ...straight to evil ... it started to say things like you're all going to die leave now same old stuff until it has a message for all who were there the night before it simply spelt out "cursed" ( oh joy ) . No sooner did it say that the flame on the candle bent over then went back up straight. Needless to say we ended it there. Since that night I have not touched an Ouija board and now know they are dangerous. As for being cursed I'm not sure my luck isn't good but it could be worse. Darren's house has had allot of strange things happen since then a big black shadow has been seen many times passing the window and electrical goods turn on and off on their own.

(Then the planchette started to move on it's own) Wait, "What's her name?" (Beth spelled this and the planchette spun around to point at me (Bella). We then decided to make it say goodbye...This ghost was (Luckily very nice and friendly)

A couple of years ago, I ran across an old Ouija Board dated 1919. I remember how fascinated I was with an experience when I was about 10 with one, so I thought that this "board game" would be fun to fool around with again.
My son, when he was very young, told me about looking out his bed room window and seeing three "glowing figures" coming from the field toward his window one night. He also stated that they even entered his room and stood at the foot of his bed. He covered his head with the blankets thinking that they would go away, and when he uncovered his head, they were still there... then they vanished. I attributed this to a "bad dream" at the time.
There is this old, beautiful house on my property, built in 1926; the builder also signed and dated his name in the rafters in the attic. "Cool" I thought, that he took so much pride in his work (like an artist) to do such a thing.
Anyway, we were in this old house, working the Ouija thing and so forth. My son asked me to see if what he saw was real or not. We got an answer and allot more! The two people who were at the board knew nothing about this; in fact, they did not know the name of the road we live on or anything else much about this neck of the woods.
I asked if there were any ghosts who wanted to speak (not at all taking any of this seriously).
"YES" replied the board.
“Who are you?” I asked.
"ANNA MILLS" was the reply.
As our guests worked the Ouija board. “Why are you here?” I asked, and the planchette began to move quickly.
"I DIED HERE ON THE MUNGER SHAW ROAD". (Our guests didn't even know the name of this road.)
“How?” I inquired.
"TRUCK", the board answered.
“How?” I asked.
"RUN OVER", Anna replied.
“When?” I asked
"1936". Anna replied.
At this point, I was having fun with this game. I did not at all take this seriously; after all, this thing is just a game. “So if this is all true, where is your body so that I can bring you some flowers?” I jokingly asked. Her answer sent chills down my spine.
"YOU ARE THERE", she answered.
“What do you mean?”
"SKATTERED" (misspelled by an 8 year old)
She added:"MY AHSES ARE SKATTERED WHERE YOUR TRAILER HOUSE IS".
She gave us a lot of information that night. She is with two uncles who are elusive, but protecting her. She was visiting them here when her death occurred. Things have happened after that as well than before. When I first put the trailer house where it is (now abandoned, for I am now living in the old house), my ex-wife and I heard the distinctive voice of a child crying - that I can say without a doubt. My ex also told me that she seen a small girl one night fleeing out the door one late night (blew her off). And so did I one night when I woke up to use the bathroom, you know, through the corner of the eye, I attributed this to late night-half asleep stuff.
We did the Ouija again with two other people, again the same conversation with this Anna Mills. I cannot find any records of her existence of her anywhere, though. Then again, out here in the sticks (especially back in the '30s, records may have not been so critical; heck, I know a guy that have two people buried in his front yard from back then; that's in the days when they did things like that). I did ask her who her uncles were, and she remained allusive on that info.
Okay, I know this all sounds really weird, and I did not believe a thing about all of this until about a year ago...
I went for a walk, as I have quite often. I walked across the field on a winter moonlit night. On my way back, I distinctly saw two people "sneaking" around the trailer. Thinking that someone was trying to break in, I approached one of them. I yelled out to them, what did they want, ready to confront the intruders. I swear that I was within 15 feet of the guy wearing a plaid shirt and bib overalls when he took an abrupt right turn and went right through the wall of the trailer house - right below my son's old bedroom. I could see each and every detail of his face, and the texture of his clothes! He looked just like a real person - that would "appear" under a full-lit moon. I stopped dead in my tracks, but somehow I was not frightened out of my wits as one would suspect. Rather a comforting feeling came over me. By the way, when I first called out to them, the other ran into the woods.
All of this I merely attributed to suggestive thinking, thinking I saw things that I imagined and so forth. Perhaps it was a restless walk late at night and so forth.
About a month ago, I was visiting my sister and her family at their house miles away. Her daughter also had an old message board that her father found years ago in an attic of an old school that he once worked at. The planchette was missing, so for fun I went to work in his wood shop and made a really nice wood one for them. With her and her boyfriend at the board, I asked “Anna are you here?” "HI, RICK", the board replied.
This really freaked them out! “Tell us the story that you told me the last time we spoke,” I asked. Again, the same info that came up a year before. I did not reveal any of the prior things that Anna said to anyone there, but there it was, again the same. She said that I did see here once, and that she and her uncles did visit my son. I did not ask any of this, once the planchette began to move, she went on and on and on. I asked her if she liked what I did with the old house (it still looks as it did in the 30’s-except for the addition of electricity and pluming, and she said that she feel at home. I asked her if she ever enters the house, and she said,
"NO. BAD MEMMORYS". (Again misspelled by an eight year old girl.)
Lately, at night through the corner of an eye, my son as well as I have seen someone fleeting past the kitchen window. Even our dog sends an alert that somebody is here, when in fact there isn't. The last time I used the board (being a skeptic, I always have someone else use it) she said that she wanted to meet me along the edge of the field at one o'clock in the morning. “Promise?” I asked.
"I PROMISE", she answered.
I never bothered. I'm not sure if I believe in such things, but it is fun to think about... Perhaps it is true!
UPDATE.....2008
The person I rented the place out to said that he seen a girl standing in the doorway of his room, and told him to "get out"....I described Anna to him and he said that is who she looked like......several people have seen shadows of figures darting back and forth of my house (next door) several times..........each and every night these shadows can be seen......
Two people have died there within my lifetime and I found my uncle dead right outside the door when I was 17.
