Under the dark night sky, illuminated by a full moon and a scattering of faint stars, my sister, two friends named Danny and Heather, and I found ourselves sitting in the basement overcome with boredom. In an effort to alleviate our restlessness, I proposed the idea of retrieving my Ouija board from my room. With a quick announcement that I would be back in no time, I hurried upstairs to locate the mystical board hidden beneath my bed. Without any delay, I promptly returned to the basement, only to discover everyone wearing peculiar expressions on their faces and displaying hesitancy towards engaging with the enigmatic Ouija board.
I convinced everyone and provided instructions. I switched off the lights and television, then placed a few candles around us. Fortunately, my Ouija board glowed in the dark, making it easy to see. All four of us placed our hands on the oracle’s tip and rotated it in three circles. Next, I asked, “Is there someone with us?” The oracle quickly answered with a “yes,” which startled and surprised us. I continued to ask questions, starting with “What is your name?” Gradually, the oracle started moving until it landed on “V”.
After spelling out “Vincent,” the oracle’s movements caught our attention and prompted me to inquire further. I asked, “What do you want?” The intensity of the oracle’s movement increased as it spelled out “help.” This filled me with fear, so I questioned, “How can I assist you?” The response from the oracle was chilling: “he’s coming.” As we sat there exchanging terrified glances, our fear escalated. Suddenly, a loud bang resonated from the small coal room in my basement – causing us to panic.
I instructed everyone to remain calm and inquired about the identity of an unknown person. The oracle responded by gesturing to evacuate. Although we were frightened, we proceeded onwards. The oracle swiftly transitioned to bidding farewell, which caused us concern. Once again, I questioned if there was someone present with us. The oracle moved with even greater speed this time and indicated affirmation. I then asked if it was Vincent, to which the oracle promptly negated. Curious, I inquired about its own identity. The oracle spelled out the word “run.” Furthermore, I inquired if it was a benevolent entity, and the oracle rapidly darted to “no.” This alarmed us, prompting us to pause and take a break.
At this point, Danny and I were both sitting together when we suddenly felt a chilling coldness and something brushing against our legs, causing us to become thoroughly alarmed. Despite our unease, we remained seated and had a conversation, not realizing that we had neglected to move the oracle to “goodbye.” It is widely believed that failing to do this can release a spirit into your home. Throughout our break, we continued to hear various noises and voices. Eventually, we decided to put away the Ouija for the night. Without hesitation, I hurriedly went up to my room and placed the Ouija board into my closet’s top shelf. After closing the closet door, the Ouija board unexpectedly flew out at me.
I was extremely frightened by this experience. Hastily, I placed the Ouija board under my bed and quickly went downstairs to inform everyone about what had happened. Their expressions revealed fear as well. We all gathered in the living room and tried to engage in conversation in order to distract ourselves from the unsettling incident. Suddenly, a tremendously loud noise came from upstairs. I looked at everyone with sheer terror on my face. Danny bravely volunteered to go investigate and ascended the stairs. He opened my door and there he found the Ouija board right in front of it, accompanied by a creepy silhouette of a man near my window. He closed the door hastily and rushed back downstairs.
He informed us about the unsettling events that had caused fear among all of us. Given the circumstances, we made a joint decision to spend the night outside or remain outdoors to observe. We swiftly and quietly went outside and found our place in my backyard. Once there, a prevailing sense of tranquility seemed to envelop us. It became evident that we had all gained a valuable understanding: one must not meddle with phenomena believed to possess supernatural peril. To this day, peculiar occurrences persist within my house. The general consensus is that these happenings are directly connected to what transpired on that fateful night.
