People ask me all the time, "are Ouija boards ok to use? They are not REALLY dangerous right?" Answer to first half of question "NO" and answer to second half of questions "YES."

Here are two new true Ouija tales for you and in my book there are MANY more tales of harrowing Ouija experiences. If you want to be scared, go to a graveyard. Do not pick up a Ouija board.

Title: Friend or Foe

When I was 13 years old, my sister brought a Ouija board home. She said a friend lent it to her. At first it was just a weird board game. We started playing with it a lot asking all sorts of questions. Nothing bad or scary had happened so we kept playing with it. Then it became a sort of addiction. We couldn’t stop playing with it. But for some reason, one day, my sister stopped being interested in it and her friend didn’t want it back. So I kept it. I took it everywhere with me. I made contact and friends with a girl younger than I was at the time. I created a game for us. I would put the pointer on the letter A and she would try and keep it on A while I tried to drag the pointer to Z. Well, she was stronger than I thought and couldn’t move the pointer easily. I spent most of my time thinking of the girl and what we would talk about. I even started taking the board to school.

One day, during lunch, I found myself a lone in the school courtyard. So I decided it was a great time to play with the Ouija (as usual, by myself). This time wasn’t the same as the other times. I couldn’t get any straight answers from the board. When I demanded a name, it said it was the devil. I didn’t believe that and stopped playing it. I thought it was just some spirit goofing around trying to scare me. As I was putting the board away, a large rock was thrown at my back. I turned to look but no one was around. There was just a building surrounding me and there was no way for anyone to hide from me. I stood there looking for a long time wondering why and how that had happened. I couldn’t see anyone but I could feel someone watching me. That day started getting weirder and weirder. I felt jumpy for no reason and the hair on the back of my neck kept standing…while I was at school surrounded by people. Although I was surrounded by people, I felt a lone and scared. Like they weren’t really there and I was having a horrible dream.

School ends and I have to walk home alone. Every step I took felt like I was walking into something scary. I kept looking back because I keep feeling someone watching and following me. There where times I thought I saw a dark figure hide behind the trees. I didn’t really want to go home that day. The thought of home scared me for some reason, but I had to go.

When I finally get to my house, everything felt like it was breathing around me. Like the walls where watching me. My family was there and that helped a bit. I knew I could go to my mom if I got scared enough. Well, being that it was a weird day, she decided to go to the bank. The weird part was she took everyone else except me. She wanted me to finish my homework. I told her I really wanted to go with her but she didn’t think I should. So I was left home a lone. I sat on the couch and could here breathing all around me and eyes just watching me from every direction. I thought I was going out of my mind. I couldn’t take being home a lone like that. Every room I went into had a horrible feeling to it. I didn’t feel safe anywhere. Finally I decided that I didn’t want to hear anything I shouldn’t or see it. I turned on all the lights, TVs and radios loud enough for me not to be able to even hear myself breathe and sat in the corner of the couch just waiting.

My mom got home and asked if everything was okay. She turned everything on asked what I had been doing. That the house had a weird feeling to it that she didn’t like. I told her everything that happened and gave her the board. She didn’t say anything and I never saw the board again. 9/25/2006

Shannon's Scary Ouija Board Story

My mother told me this story, about her aunt. She had an Ouija board sent to her as a gift, and she used to use it a lot. Her sister, my grandmother, told her to stop, because she didn't know what she was really talking to, but my Great Aunt wouldn't stop. One night it told her that her husband was going to be killed. She became afraid, and took it upstairs into the attic, swearing it would never be used again. When she came back downstairs, it was there, all set up, on her table. She took it outside and threw it into the garbage, and again, when she came back, it was on the table. She even went so far as to burn it, thinking that fire woudl cleanse it. But again it came back. Finally, she put it upstairs and prayed for God to help her, because she was terrified, and whether it was God directly, or fouth time being the charm, it stayed up there. She was afraid to try and throw it out, because she was scared it would "wake up" whatever was in it and it would move on it's own again. When she died, the new owners threw it out, and it stayed out, showing that it had indeed had a link to her directly.

This happened to my mates and I one night when we decided to have a séance with a Ouija board. There was me and 5 others. It was pretty late at night when we started the séance. We got the séance going really easily this night and managed to contact this ‘spirit’ who called himself “Damien” (yes I know it sounds pretty lame – the Omen and all that.) He was just answering questions like “how did you die?” and “who are you?” He told us that he had died in a car accident in 1968. He appeared to be a harmless sort and just kept the answers coming for about 20 minutes.Things suddenly changed when my mate asked Damien “where are you now?” this seemed to upset the spirit in a violent sort of way. The glass started spinning around and around the Ouija board continuously and we just sat there staring at it as it circled the board with us still attached to it. One of my other mates who was watching couldn’t handle it and suddenly slid his arms underneath all of ours and lifted them up all into the air taking all of our hands off the pointer glass at the same time. The really scary thing was that the glass continued circling around the board by itself with no one touching it-all the time getting faster and faster and faster.It did this about 8 or 9 times then just halted mid circle. I got so spun out by this that I’ve never been involved in another séance since (I reckon none of my mates have either.) Melbourne, Australia

I was in my best friend Vicki's house and we were playing Ouija and asking it questions. It had given us a name and when it (that person) had died and other nonsense answers. So my friend Vicki had to go to the ladies room. So there I am alone in the room and playing with it and it is going by itself. And I mean by itself. So I grabbed the planchette and took it off the board. Then I here a KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK at the door. I jumped up and looked and no one is there and I can see my friend is still in the bathroom. Trying to be calm I sat back down and I hear my NAME called in a menacing male voice 3 times distinctly. Now my name is a little odd so it was calling ME. ( This still gives me goosebumps, one of only two times I was ever scared in this lifetime!) I did not answer, but again looked and my friend is in the bathroom and no one else is in the entire house. I heard it again 3 times calling "Chanda, Chanda CHANDA" louder each time and getting very frightened stood up and it did it gain only this time it's voice was male, menacing and thunderous!!! I ran as fast as little feet would go bursting into the bathroom VERY much surprising my red faced friend who was indisposed! I asked her if she heard the voice and she said she had not! So it called ONLY me (that made it more scary.) We were both very shaken and stayed right where we were until her Mom came home and asked us why we were in their. (The bathroom.) We told her and she took that Ouija and we never saw it again. That incident still gives me a cold shudder down my spine, I can still hear that voice. It was not imagination and I hope it never happens again. ~ Chanda
