"I hurt people that day, and I know without a doubt the things that happened that night were 100% real. There's no way that they all coordinated like that just to make me feel bad for using a Ouija board."
I received the following account:
"Back in the winter of 2015, I was in school for my job. It was my first time really outside the house, making my own money, so I thought I could do whatever I wanted with my time and money now that my parents weren’t breathing down my neck. One of the things we did on the weekends was going to the mall, so one fateful day at the mall I went into Spencer’s and saw a ouija board. I had been interested in them since middle school, watching videos on early YouTube when every video you searched wasn’t some YouTuber staging a Ouija board experience but actual videos of spooky things happening. Honestly, it was more of a thrill than actually going out and watching the latest horror flick.
Because of this, I decided to buy one and take it back to the barracks. As soon as we got home, I cracked it open and decided to start playing immediately. It garnered attention quickly, and I had droves of people coming to play, watch, and criticize. We played for a few nights, random people jumping in sometimes, but the main characters in this story are me, a girl we’ll call Kate, a girl we’ll call Mandy, and a dude we’ll call Andrew.
Some of the biggest things that happened before the big night were 1. We established a connection with a spirit we’ll call Marcus that followed Mandy’s aunt for a long time. 2. We asked for a sign that this spirit was really there and it sent a fox over to the pavilion we were sitting and playing at, about 20 feet from where we were sitting and it sat there for nearly half an hour. Whether it was a coincidence or it was a deliberate sign I will never be able to say for sure, but I believe wholeheartedly that it was the latter. 3. It kept telling us personal things about our lives that none of the others could possibly know. I don't remember exactly what they were due to this happening nearly 10 years ago, but I believe it was like birthdays, parent/sibling names, etc.
Finally, all these things lead up to the last night we played. On this night, it was business as usual, I forgot to mention that the planchette at this point was moving fast, to the point that I should’ve known something was up, but the spirits have a weird way of making the whole experience seem exhilarating to the point where you forget about the warning signs. We get to a point in the session where the planchette isn’t moving anymore which is odd because it was just moving like crazy. The seating arrangement at the table is Kate is across from me, Andrew is across from me diagonally, and Mandy is to my left.
To my left, I hear Mandy laughing. It was odd because nothing was happening, no one told a joke, and nothing was even remotely supposed to be funny. I look over and even though she is laughing tears are streaming down her face. I know some unexplained stuff is happening at this point.
I see Andrew get up and start backing away, which you are never supposed to do because it breaks the circle and allows spirits to have more free reign over our realm. He backs away a few steps with a terrified look on his face, then he turns and bolts. I asked him why he did this about a year after it happened and he told me that he felt a huge hand on his shoulder which prompted him to expeditiously get out of there. Kate ran too, and she says she ran to check on Andrew, but I believe she ran because she was terrified. I was too!
So here I am with Mandy beside me cackling and crying with me not knowing what to do. So I turned to her and asked her if she was ok. It, yes I said it because it wasn't her, looked at me with a stare that sent my blood running cold and made my stomach drop into the deepest recesses of my abdomen. It then says, “Mandy isn’t here anymore” and cackles even more.
At this point, I believe I'm screwed. We have to muster for accountability in like half an hour, so if I can't fix this by then I am going to get nailed by the full force of my chain of command. So I turn to it, look it straight in the eye, and start saying a bunch of stuff along the lines of if you don't leave her body you will create a devout Christian out of this situation. It's the only thing I could think of doing. I couldn't leave her there, and honestly, the thought of something screwing with her like that gave me the determination and mental fortitude I needed to deal with that situation.
In the end, it worked. She came to me and I asked her if she was ok. She said yes but she needed some rest and went back to the barracks. As soon as she started walking away I grabbed the board and the planchette, threw them in the box, ran to the dumpster behind our barracks, and threw them in. Bad move. I’ll mention it in the aftermath. The situation still isn't over. When I ran back to the dumpster I saw Andrew pacing back and forth with Kate there trying to comfort him. I ran over to where they were after disposing of the evil (yeah I'm being a bit dramatic, but this is the first time I've ever written this story down) and there he was pacing back and forth saying he needed to go back, back being the pavilion we played with the Ouija board at. I asked him what was going on with him at that moment.
A year later, he told me that he looked back at the pavilion and heard what sounded like thousands of voices chanting. He saw a dark figure there as well, coaxing him to go back. I will introduce a new person to the story, her name is Marie. I asked her to come over and help. She was of the Wiccan religion, so I thought she just might be able to help, and she did, albeit at the price of our friendship. She was furious that I did this to the people around me. She helped him. I asked him recently what she did to help him and he swears up and down that he saw her deceased grandmother beside him protecting him while Marie handled whatever was hurting him. He came back to.
I also forgot to mention that before Marie came out to help I tried reading the Bible to him, and whenever I did it seemed like it physically hurt him. That's it for the night really. I downloaded a song called God’s Not Dead by the News Boys, which is a super duper Christian song (if you couldn't tell), and played it in my headphones with the lights on in my room while I went to sleep. I still didn't feel ok that night or the nights to follow.
The Aftermath:
The next morning I woke up and got in the ranks to march to school. Everyone was looking at me and Andrew weirdly, he was telling everyone not to be around me because I was evil (and this continued for about 2 weeks). I felt all alone and scared, but I persevered because that's how I got down.
At school, Marie told me to go find the board and burn it so that we could close the session and make sure the spirits didn't harass us anymore. She told me this because she knew we didn't say goodbye on the board to close the session. At our lunch break, I go dumpster diving to find this evil in there, and although the same trash from the night before is in there, the box with the board in it is gone. To this day I don't know what happened to it. Skeptics will say it got taken by someone, but I firmly believe it is following Mandy.
We all graduated and left the school. Kate, Andrew, and I came to the same command in the States, and Mandy went to the Middle East. Coincidentally, our ship ended up stopping at her command in the Middle East and I happened to see Mandy again. As soon as we made eye contact, she made an immediate 180-degree turn and walked away. Weird.
All in all, Kate, Andrew, and I got over it. Nothing really happened to me and Kate. Andrew had nightmares for a while afterward but he eventually turned out ok too. As for Mandy, I don't know what's going on in her life anymore. We fell off, and she hasn't contacted any of us since school.
I hurt people that day, and I know without a doubt the things that happened that night were 100% real. There's no way that they all coordinated like that just to make me feel bad for using a Ouija board, and if they did they all deserve Oscars for their performance that night. That is the scariest and most humbling thing that has ever happened to me. It's strange though. After that night I vowed to never use another Ouija board again, but if someone were to pull one out and offer me a seat on the board i wouldn't turn them down. Spirits have a weird way of controlling you sometimes." D
