It's been some years since the incident so I will try to retell it to best of my memory.
My friend (an atheist) and I (considered self Catholic at the time) decided one night to try out a Ouija board he had in his basement. For first few minutes it would not work because we could not stop laughing as we tried. Eventually we calmed down and eventually we asked a general question like "If there's a spirit present, say something." The needle moved toward YES fairly easily and back to the middle. My friend and I started accusing each other of moving the needle. After we both swore we did not do it nor would we, we tried again. "So if there's a spirit present, what's your name?" The needle went to something like "Hrgofalar" or something ridiculous to that effect. We immediately went online and looked it up. Nothing came up of course. We tried again and asked, "What do humans know you by?"
"ABBADON"
We went online and first result was Catholic Encyclopedia. The name was the name of a "chief ruler of Hell.' Neither my friend nor I could ever recall hearing the name before. We returned to the board and said something to the effect of, "So you're a demon."
It responded, "I am called many names." We continued to ask it questions regarding religion and the short of it was that it said, "I am a tester." "Each person is assigned a tester." "Jesus was a man with faith."
My friend then asked it, "So what's my future." And it gave him a name I believe, "Edward." We both knew plenty of Edwards and we asked, "What Edward?" Abbadon responded, "NO" "Why not? I need to know which Edward you are talking about." "Do not know him yet." "Well, what will happen to Edward?" "Paralyze." "I will paralyze Edward?" "YES"
At that point we decided to just stop as it was getting creepy and my friend convinced himself it was his subconscious mind or my own messing with the board.
Although my story ends there... My friend somewhat continues a few days later.
He never ever remembers dreams, but for the following 3 nights he had recurring dreams.
The first night he dreamed he was in a church in middle-row pew. There was a man in brown robes at the podium near the altar and he gestured to the back of the church where dozens of people walked into the church and filled every row except the row my friend was in. The man in brown robes asked, "Do you believe?" The parishioners responded, "Yes" in unison except for my friend. All but my friend then floated toward the ceiling and passed through the roof as if they were ghosts. My friend woke up.
The second night, the same dream occurred from the first night but after the people disappeared above the ceiling, the brown robed man appeared next to my friend in the pew and asked him directly, "Do you believe?" My friend responded, "No" and he woke up.
The third night, my friend was in the pew again. In front of the altar was the man in brown robes in the middle, on his right was a deformed and animal-like man leashed to the brown robed man's left hand and to the left the robed man was a face-blurred man in a wheelchair. My friend then woke up.
Whether those dreams are supernatural in origin or just my friend's subconscious dealing with the prior incident, I'm not too sure.
Any way thanks for the 'possibly' right spelling.
That totally sounded laim.
