Some Games Shouldn't Be Played... (pt.3)
This is my final account regarding the use of Ouija boards, and I'll try to make it less of a book than the other two accounts.
This actually occurred during the earlier events of part 2, and before the events of part 1;
I had a friend from work staying over for the weekend.
I think my younger sister had a bit of a crush on him, as she hung about in my room a lot while he was there.
We were just hanging out and watching TV, and someone (I don't recall whom) mentioned the Ouija board.
My friend was interested in the paranormal, but had never had any dealings with it, so we grabbed the board to see what we could "scare up".
I was 20 and feeling "immortal" as most people do at that age, so we threw caution to the wind, feeling we could handle anything the board threw at us.
We took turns on the board, looking to see who would get a stronger connection, and as it turned out, my sister and I had the most powerful one.
We were talking to a spirit who seemed to be weakly connected to the board, when the spirit suddenly stopped answering questions and kept spelling "beware" until the planchette just stopped moving.
The next spirit we got broke in on the previous one, and we could feel the strength of this one was definitely much more than that of the previous spirit.
He made reference to himself as the "Alpha Omega" (the beginning and the end... God, if you will), and was very demanding and arrogant.
This spirit and I had many arguments about his supposed "power", and I mocked him on any occasion he made available.
I soon became bored with arguing with him, and I let my friend take over, and laid down on the couch and nodded off.
When I awoke, my sister and friend were standing over me, pale-faced and shaking me... they told me that the spirit threatened to pierce my heart, and then they stopped using the board, and had set it down on the bed when the planchette flew off the board on it's own, and had landed on my chest, the sharp tip of it laying over my heart.
A little spooked, I decided this spirit wasn't going to get the best of me, and we began playing again... he was waiting for us.
This time I showed no quarter... I thrash talked him, I mocked and ridiculed him, I laughed at him... and after few more minutes, I again got bored.
My friend took over, and I went downstairs to grab everyone a fresh beverage.
When I got back upstairs, just before taking the last two steps, I heard something strange, then turned to see my sister and friend, again pale-faced and jaws agape; sitting on my couch just staring at me.
I asked them what had made the sound I heard coming up the steps, and they pointed at my clothes basket, inches from the top of my stairs... sitting in it was the planchette from the Ouija board.
I asked them why they would throw it at me when they knew i was coming upstairs with my hands full, and they told me that they had set the board down after I had went downstairs, because the spirit we were talking to had become incredibly violent, and was threatening my life.
It had told them it was going to get me, and that's when they stopped and set the board on the bed at least 3 feet away from where they were.
About the time they saw the top of my head come over the top of the railing; the planchette flew off the board, and landed inches away from me, as I came up the top two stairs.
I would not have believed them, had I not seen for myself that the board was 3 feet away, and they were looking terrified.
It did not happen again, and we put the board away, though we could swear we heard something in the box trying to get out, the rest of the night...
But I read all yer storys 1, 2, and 3. Good ones!
