Ouija boards are REAL, I wish I didn't know first hand but I do
The movie had a pretty good premise, but could have been much better imo. But I'm here to comment on ouija boards. After reading a lot of the comments here I just wanted to add my two cents on the fact that it's definitely NOT a game, and truly should never have been marketed as one. I wont tell my entire story cause it would take over an hour or more to type but I'll give a brief description on why I know for a fact that those boards are not to be messed with. I am sure people will judge and say I am a crazy person or whatever the attack might be, but i am almost 40 years old now, college educated, etc.
Back when I was a freshman in college was the first time i ever used a Ouija board, and i regret it till this day. It was a bout a 3 weeks before Halloween and me and a couple buddies were in my dorm room and the movie Ouija board came on, i think that's the name, it was an 80's movie where this hot chick gets possessed by using the board and at the end its flying in the air and they shoot it with a gun or something, found it funny and kinda entertaining... anyway it prompted me and my buddies to go and buy one thinking it would be cool. Here's where i can go on and on and write a book, but what I can tell you is it was literally like a movie. After me and my best friend had been using it for a few days it began to get faster and stronger, hard to explain. I know for a fact i wasnt moving it, and if you knew my friend, the most honest kindest dude ever, he swore up and down he wasnt moving it. But after like a week or so it was moving so fast we had friends in the room with us actually writing down on a piece of paper the letters as it was spelling the stuff out just to keep up and tell what it was saying. At one point it actually told me where in my school library I could find a book on how to do a seance,and what do you know it was actually in the row and isle it said, mind you I never even used the library... It wanted us to do the seance on halloween night, and that story is scary as *beep* and would take too long to explain all that happened. What i will say is what did happen scared me and my friends enough to the point that we agreed to burn the board after what went down during the seance. I tried to burn the board, but it wouldn't burn!!!. Like lighter fluid, etc, etc..I swear. So eventually,I cut it into a million pieces and threw it into the woods behind a house party we were at for halloween. When we got back to the dorm maybe the scariest moment of my life, the board in perfect condition was in our door room on my bed with the prayer written in what looked like blood on the back of the board..... Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to take, etc.... It was pissed because we bailed on the seance and other stuff.
I kept trying to find a rational explanation how this *beep* board was in my room after I had just torn it apart a few hours prior. A friend pranking me I was praying was the case?? But like I said no one could access my room, and the only people who knew what was going on didn't leave the party, they were all there with me until the end, and the house was like 20 minutes off campus. I remember being so scared, scared to the point I literally didn't want to be in my dorm room, I slept in others people rooms for days following, and the weirdest part of all was the following..... Keep in mind this was in Altoona Pa, COLD at Halloween time, and after that happened the following day I kept noticing a fly wherever i went. I wasn't crazy like i was in the cafeteria and there was a fly, and other people saw it, so it wasn't me imagining it. There were no flies around during this time of year. This fly thing went on for days until I decided I had to get out of there and went back home to Philadelphia for a few weeks before returning to campus. That was about 20 years ago. There was a name of this EVIL spirit, I refuse to mention its name because to this day there are many weird and unexplained things that happen, and it always leads back to this one spirits name. This post was already way too, but believe me I left out about 98% of what happened. All Im saying is there were too many things that this spirit told me that were true, and I saw things happen with my own 2 eyes. I will say this however, I have never actually seen a ghost or anything like that, but to this day I still feel as if this thing is always around me. Its hard for a non believer to understand, but Ill try and give weird examples that may or may not mean anything to you, but to me I just know somethings off. Every dog, and even cat, but I rarely am around any cats, I encounter starts barking immediately whenever I come close. Even though I can watch 5 other people walk by a dogs yard, and the dog wont bark, or a dog in a car wont bark at others walking by, but I get even slightly near and ALL dogs start barking like crazy. It freaks me out. And the weirdest thing I have noticed over the last 10 years or so is everything is always 666. Like my phone battery if i ever glance at it will be at 66%, not 65, or 67 but 66%. Same with any electronic device, laptop, computer, always tend to look at it when its at 66%. My space heater in my living room always says 66 degrees, and I always wake up at 3:33am. Not always but like every other night or so. Now while none of this has anything to do with what i experienced with the board, I believe it is this spirit that I allowed or maybe was always there but I didn't know it until we used that board, but anyway this is probably coming off as a ridiculously long ramble. Bottom line, I'm a sane rational person, but I know for a fact that those boards should never be made or used, and evil does and will come out of them if used. I have not owned or touched one in about 19 years, and to this day I am still affected by the spirit again I wont say its name, but its 3 letters.
