IT ALL STARTED WHEN I ASKED MY MOM TO BUY ME A OUIJA BOARD. WE BOUGHT IT AT A K-MART IN OUT HOME TOWN. I USED THE BOARD AT MY HOUSE, BUT THE RESULTS WERE LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE; I BEGAN TO WONDER IF IT WOULD WORK AT ALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER I MOVED OUT AND INTO MY VERY FIRST APARTMENT...THAT'S WHEN THINGS BEGAN TO GET WIERD. I MOVED IN WITH TWO GIRLS... I'LL CALL THEM LYNN AND NIXEN...ANYWAY WE BEGAN TO PLAY WITH THE BOARD AND EXCHANGE GHOSTLY STORIES. AT FIRST IT WAS FUN WE SPOKE WITH A SPIRIT NAMED PESLI. HE WAS NICE TO US AND HAD A FRIEND NAMED KIP WHO WE ARE ASSUMING IS FEMALE. PESLI USED TO SAY THAT KIP WAS LOCKED IN OUR BREEZEWAY AND COULDN'T GET OUT. HE NEVER TOLD ME WHY AND I NEVER ASKED THE OTHERS. ON OCTOBER 30, 1995, LYNN TOOK MY BOARD TO A PLACE ON CAMPUS THAT WAS SOON TO BE TORN DOWN AND WAS RUMORED TO BE HAUNTED. I DIDN'T GO, BUT LYNDSEY WENT WITH SOME FRIENDS OF OURS AND THE STORIES WERE UN- BELIEVABLE. THEY SPOKE OF BLINDS OPENING AND SHUTTING. THE BALLOONS THAT WERE ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THEM UNINFLATED WERE MOVING ALL AROUND. THEY ALSO SPOKE OF A MAN NAMED ED WHO WAS EVIL AND HOLDING A LITTLE GIRL THERE AGAINST HER WILL. WELL, ED DECIDED TO FOLLOW THEM HOME. WE RARELY EVER HEARD FROM PESLI. LYNN HAD SOME FRIENDS OVER ONE DAY WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK AND WERE USING MY BOARD. I ASKED IF I COULD JOIN IN, BUT THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF SOMETHING AND I WAS NOT TO BE A PART OF IT. LYNN AND HER FRIENDS BEGAN TO MAKE FUN OF ED WHEN ED WAS BEING THREATENING. ED WAS NOT HAPPY TO SAY THE LEAST. LYNN WENT TO GET A GLASS OF WATER AND PASSED OUT IN FRONT OF THE REFRIDGERATOR. WHEN SHE CAME TO SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD FELT FINGERS PRESSING ON HER THROAT. THE OTHERS CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN THE PRINTS,BUT I DID NOT. LYNN MOVED OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT SO NIXEN AND I WERE LEFT ALONE. THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN. LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF, THINGS WOULD COME UP MISSING AND FOUND PLACES THAT WERE NOT AT ALL CLOSE TO WHERE WE PLACED THEM. I CAME HOME AND TALKED TO NIXEN ABOUT USING THE OUIJA AND SHE CLAIMED TO HAVE STARTED USING IT ALONE BY HERSELF I WAS FURIOUS. I KNEW HARDLY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BOARD AND STILL DON'T BUT I KNEW BETTER THAN TO PLAY IT BY MYSELF AND SO DID SHE. SHE BEGAN TO CHANGE. WHEN I FIRST MET HER SHE WAS SWEET A LITTLE ON THE LONELY SIDE BUT NICE. THEN SHE BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT HURTING OTHERS AND MAKING OTHER PEOPLE HURT. AROUND THAT TIME MORE DRASTIC OCCURENCES BEGAN TO TAKE PLACE FROM SOME ONE CALLING FOR WATER OUT OF HER CLOSET IN A LOW RASPY VOICE TO SOMEONE BANGING ON THE WALLS AROUND HER ROOM SO HARD PICTURES WERE FALLING OFF THE WALLS. I DEALT WITH ALL OF THIS SOMETIMES I WAS FRIGHTENED SOMETIMES I WAS SO SCARED I COULDN'T BARE TO BE ALONE. THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS THING I WAS NIXENS ROOM TRYING TO FALL ASLEEP, WE WERE BOTH TOO SCARED TO SLEEP IN ANY ROOM ALONE. I COULD FEEL SOME ONE STARING AT ME. I LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS AN OLD SCARRY MAN I CAN NOT BE SURE OF EXACTLY WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE BUT I WAS TERRIFIED. HE APPEARED AGAIN TO ME AND NOW MY LITTLE SISTER SEES AN AWFUL, SCARRY OLD MAN IN HER DREAMS. I HAD MOVED BACK IN WITH HER AND MY MOTHER AND NEVER BREATHED A WORD OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED WHEN MY SISTER TOLD ME A STORY ABOUT HER DREAMS. SHE DESCRIBED THE MAN FROM MY APARTMENT. THINGS HAVE SETTLED DOWN I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN OR WHAT WAS. I STILL WONDER ABOUT IT ONCE IN AWHILE BUT IT SCARES ME A LITTLE STILL. I KNOW THIS STORY ISN'T MUCH BUT PLEASE NEVER PLAY THE BOARD ALONE AND DON'T CONTINUE TO PLAY IF YOU ARE BEING THREATENED OR TOLD THAT YOU ARE SEXY AND OTHERS I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE BOARD LIES. I STILL WANT TO PLAY IT ONCE IN AWHILE IT STILL DRAWS ME BUT A PART OF ME STILL HOLDS BACK. I JUST HOPE READING THIS WILL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND IT ISN'T JUST A GAME.
