Last weekend I was hanging out with an uncle of mine after watching a boxing match on HBO. We were in the front yard of my grandparents house and we were just bullshitting. Out of the blues he said he has always wanted to know if it was true my cousin and I use to play the Ouija board. I told him Yes. He said he heard we did and some funky shit happened but didn’t believe it. So I told him the story…I was about 17 and my cousin 15, she lived with us for a couple of years during high school. My boyfriend got this Ouija board from his mom’s house in Lake Elsinore and loaned it to us because we were a bunch of dumb, curious teenagers. We invited a school friend over to spend the night on a Friday night and test the board out with us. We waited til it was midnight to start. We had lit candles in my room and made it as ‘witchy’ as possible. Of course when we began asking questions we got no response and kept giggling like 15 and 17 year old girls do. Then my cousin took over and asked if anyone else was in the room with us. Immediately the plastic ‘eye’ platform slid to YES. We looked at each other and then at the board because obviously one of us moved our hands to make it move, right? Wrong. It moved on its own. She asked a few questions and the board kept responding. As freaky as it was, it was equally exciting. Eventually enough was enough and we stopped playing, but our friend was back the next Friday to do it again!
We continued playing for a few weeks, but when the ’spirit’ began to get attached to my cousin and started calling her Mama (dammit I just got chills!) we knew the time had come to get rid of the board. At one point she said If you know all about me and Mario (her boyfriend) then what is his phone number? (fucken chills again) and it began rolling over numbers. She looked at me, shook her head NO because it was wrong. The ‘eye’ SLID across the board and landed on YES. Its like it knew or saw her shake her head no. That was the last straw, we put it away and the next day I sent it back with my boyfriend. We had enough.
So I had told my uncle this EXACT story and he still didn’t believe me! What does he do? He calls my cousin and she tells him the same thing! So he was officially freaked out. Too freaky I tell you. But there is nothing better than a couple of drunk people scaring the shit out of each other!

The "Mind"
A couple of drunk people scaring the shit out of each other. Man, to be a fly on the wall. My Ouija board never worked. It told me I was going to have a daughter and her name would be Gillette. WTF??
Remind me never to play that with you.
Oh, hey…speaking of games. I saw a commercial for this and thought that might be fun for Mexico. Thoughts?

I don’t believe in anything unless it actually happens to me. My mother has a Ouija board but it never worked with me. She loves all that crap but it just hasn’t done anything for me. Although one time I went to a “reader” and she told me that she saw someone in my future with dark hair and dark eyes. She also said that there was a Stevie, Steve orSteven in my life that was just a passer by but nothing lasting.

Mind, after all my super-freaky experiences *I* would nevr play those games again. Uh-uhm.
That game is hard! We play it at my aunt’s house, I’ll see if I can borrow her’s for Mexico. I’m sure it won’t be a problem. Also I can get Dirty Minds from my dad, too. Less than 4 months now! Woohoo
Carrie, that’s how I am, too. But I’ve had so much freaky shit happen to/with me, I just believe now. LOL

Cece, thanks for visiting my blog. Greetings from a Polish-Hungarian-German American in NJ.
My brother used to have a Ouija board (“Ouija” is fun to say). He got tired of it and it ended up in the closet … next to the bread maker. I wonder if the board ever told the breadmaker’s fortune.
(Do they make Ouija boards for the physically challenged? How would they work?)

Woah. I loved this post! I’ve never share my story with anyone…but it’s a lot like yours. My sister’s sister-in-law (19) and I (17) weren’t drinking, it was daytime and we did-the-board. Asked some questions I’d never asked anyone…and that dang eye-thing moved ON IT’S OWN. It creeped us out so badly we put it away and I never tried it again. That was maaaaany years ago and you still couldn’t convince me to try it again. Creepy doesn’t even begin to describe the feeling!
