weird experience with a Ouija board?

I've got one that scared the crap out of me.

Back in college, Me, 3 more guys, and 2 girls all lived in the same apartment complex. The 6 of us were hanging out in the girls' apartment one night, when we got bored and decided to use their Ouija board. We had a few interesting experiences, nothing special, until we got what appeared to be a VERY pissed off spirit who threatened to kill each of us, in turn, with that person's personal worst fear (as we discovered later. For example, it said to one girl "A thousand spiders will bite you" Her worst fear was being overrun with spiders. It told me, "I will clip your tendons with shears of fire" and my worst fears would be being vivisected or burned alive.) and when it was done, it REFUSED to leave. We'd say goodbye, the planchette would zip to NO three or four times before continuing the threats. Finally, after we were all threateend in great detail, it replied: "WATCH AND LERN"(sic) then the planchette started moving around wildly, resting on the letter "L" 9 or 10 times before suddenly stopping.

We were no longer having fun, so we put the board in its box and one of the girls put it in the hall closet, WAY in the backm and put a book on top of the box. I was walking to the bathroom, so I saw her do it. The box was about a foot back from the edge of the shelf, and wasn't going anywhere.

As we were sitting in the den deciding what to do next, we heard a thump from the closet. The girls freaked out, and we all went, as a group to the closet and opened the door. The book was as it was before, but the ouija box was open on the floor, and the board itself was opened on the bottom shelf, with the planchette placed right in the center of it.

No one could have gotten to it, because we were all in the room, and the closet was in full view of anyone in that room. Everyone was mildly freaked, and assumed the board just fell off the shelf, until the girl and I told them how she'd placed it in the closet. Even if it had somehow moved 2 feet horizontally and fallen, there was not enough space between the edge of the shelf and the door for it to have fallen, opened the box, and displayed itself neatly on the bottom shelf.

That freaked almost everyone out. We were pretty uncomfortable being there, so we decided to go out and watch a movie. The girls were beyond scared, so one of the guys (the realist, who believed the girl or I had placed it to fall in the closet) placed the board back in the box and on the shelf in the closet. He also placed numerous books on top of the box, and (unknown to us at the time) taped the box up with invisible tape in 6 places, and placed a hair over the closet doorknob, to catch anyone opening the closet.

We all left the apartment as a group. The last girl out locked the apartment and checked to make sure it was, in fact, locked. We went to the movies 35 miles away all in one car. We sat together, and NONE of us left the others' sight.

When we came back, we all decided to go in the girls' apartment for a beer (or 4). The girl unlocked the apt. door and opened it, then she half-screamed/squeaked and *jumped* backward into the rest of us, and started pointing into the apartment.

We all looked in, and I'll be *damned* if that Ouija board wasn't right back on the coffee table we'd used it on earlier. All 6 dining room chairs were once again perfectly arranged around the table, a lamp beside the table we'd turned off when we left was moved closer and turned on, and lastly, that damn planchette was pointing directly at the letter "L", and the closet door was closed. When we'd recovered enough to actually creep inside, the hair-placing skeptic guy smugly said "Ha! When I put it in the closet last time, I booby-trapped the door with a hair, so we could see if anyone opened it!"

As a group, we went to the closet door and looked...and the hair was still there. Skeptic-boy opened the closet, and said he'd put things on the box in a certain order. He took one look at the box and said "oh farking hell" The box was still taped up tight as he left it, as were all books and boxes on top in the order he had left them.

I was now officially paranoid. I had suspected someone was being sneaky before, but NO ONE left our sight. The apartment had 1 door and 2 windows. The door was locked & both windows were too small for anyone to get through, on the 2nd story & painted shut. There were no pets, only one girl had a key (the 2nd girl had moved in the day before, and hadn't got a key made yet. Also, both girls were from out of state, and knew no one locally, except for us).

Needless to say, that board met a spectacularly flaming end very shortly thereafter. The next morning, the girls asked the landlord to move into a different building, because they couldn't be 100% sure it was the board and not some kind of haunting that caused that night's incidents.

Weird stuff, I tell ya.

I have two experiences relating to the ouija board, though they're not that interesting, haha:

A couple of years ago me and my ex-friend had a ouija board I had bought a few years before. It was late, after midnight and my parents were asleep. My ex-friend was spending the night. We're both into the paranormal and ghosts. She's deathly afraid of spirits. I can be as well, but I can take what they do a lot more than she can [We've experienced spirit activity before together in my room with spirits moving things, etc].

So, anyway, we decided to mess with the ouija board outside. We lit some candles and turned off the light outside on the porch and we sat down on the porch swing together and started talking to the ouija board. Nothing happened @ all, but we suddenly had a feeling that someone in the corner of the porch was watching us. One of the candle lights had went out, so we scurried inside. We watched some movies and forgot about what we had done.

The next day after we woke up my Mom came in and told me she had been freaked out all morning and we asked why. She explained she had these strange feelings that my friend and I were not alone and she kept checking on us all morning. I told her about the ouija board. She's had prior experience with it [More frightening that my ex-friend and I] and has always told me not to mess with it, though I have before, so after I told her she understood and told me again not to mess with it.

My ex-boyfriend a few months ago [Everything starts with ex, apparently, lol] got me a glow in the dark Ouija board, but it didn't work that well for me so I put it on my bookshelf with my paranormal books. Recently I found my Mom's old ouija board from the 60s/70s and I put it on top of the glow in the dark ouija board a few months ago so I'd have it and so it'd also support the box becuz of some books I had on top.

A few days ago I was cleaning my room and I noticed that the books were messed up. I looked on top and didn't realize it @ first, but my Mom's ouija board was gone. @ first I got mad @ my Mom, cuz she didn't want me to put it in my room, but she denied it, then I realized she's short -- around 4' something and she couldn't have reached for it nor could she have seen it up there. She admitted to me that there was a 17th century spirit that she had made contact with years ago through the board and that she had never told me becuz she didn't want me to mess with the board. Now she expects me to find it and I don't know how! Where spirits hide ouija boards, is beyond me, lol.

So I used to crash at a friends house nearly every night(she lost her liscence and I got to use her car so long as I drove her to work) so anyway, she got a board, and I told her to never use it unless I was there and knew what she was doing. Her best friend was very emotional that night, and everyone else was drunk. They played with it, freaked out, and put it away when I told them to stop. The next day, the planchette had moved by itself(not even playing here) and for several days it moved one space at a time when we were not in the house. It eventualy spelled out "U DIE 7" never figured it out, but she eventually threw it out.

Is there a chemical in X that makes you dance like a prick?

this is kinda boring but once my friend and i were asking my ouija board questions and we asked it if she had at boyfriend and at the exact moment my friend and me took our hand of the board and it moved by itself to the yes. by the way, it was correct lol

I have used a Ouija board once, when I was young, and I'm too terrified to do so again. Nothing even happened...
