FWell as bizarre as my story may seem, it is true. There may be some sort of explanation for what happened. The only one I can think of, is that I had an encounter with a very strong and real spirit through the power of a Ouija board. I am now 21, this incident happened when I was 13.

Ever seen the movie WitchBoard? Well for those of you that haven't I'm sure you can figure it out just by the title. I saw this movie for the first time with two other girlfriends. We'll call them Lynn and Lori. We were very intrigued by this movie. More so by the power of the Ouija. Whether it was true or not, was something we were determined to find out.

Where I lived growing up was in the middl of no where! Dirt roads, no street lights, no main road for at least 15 miles. After school we had a whole lot of time, and not a whole lot to do. We decided to ask our parents for Ouija boards for Christmas. Well 2 of us, including myself got our wish.

We started using the board after school a couple times a week. At first we would laugh, and accuse eachother of moving it. We couldn't be serious about it. After a few weeks we became much more relax and not so embarrassed about thinking there was something out there that could come through a piece of cardboard. Well we soon would find out it was much more than a piece of cardboard that Matel made a million off.

We would ask silly questions at first. Then we wanted to test the powers of our spirit friend. Another thing, every time we used it we talked to the same spirit. He said his name was Fao. Anyone know what this means, or what language it is? Well Fao seemed to be a good spirit. He was young, died in a car accident. We started asking questions like, do you know when we will die? Do you know how old we will be? How many kids we will have? I don't know what possessed us (no pun intended) to ask these questions, but we did. And they were answered.

The answer to my question has haunted me since then. I was told I would die when I was 26. I was to be murdered. I know most people would laugh it off, but I can't get it out of my mind. I know none of us were moving the board. I don't know if it was an answer I was looking so bad that unconciously I moved it. I can't imagine making myself I will be murdered. Does anyone have an explanation for this? has this ever happed to anyone? Please let me know I would love to here what you think. I need some kind of explanation. I am dreeding my 26th birthday. If I don't get some answers, it will be the worst year of my life, that's if I make it theought thw hole year.

Ok now here is the real story. A couple months later, we were still at it with the ouija. We had a sleep over at Lori's house. I twas about 3 in the morning and we decided to use the ouija. We were looking for Fao, but got someone else. To be blunt he was a mean bastard. I have a very bad temper. So I was always the one to "upset" this ass of a ghost. We had been doing this for so long, and I wanted to see something. I guess to believe, I needed a little scare.

So I started swearing at it, calling sames, telling it he was chicken shit, and if he was real to prove it. This talk went on for about 15 minutes, until I had an idea. i didn't want to see anything horrifying. There was a coffee table in front of the couch. It had a plant on it. It had pretty little triangle shaped leaves. I told it if it was real to make the leaves move. After 10 more minutes it just stopped talking. We got no respaonse from the board. So we figured alright no we see the action. The 3 of us sat on the couch all snug together. I keep saying to myself come on bastard do it. The 3 of us almost in a trance stared at the plants. What seemed like an hour was only about 2 minutes. All of a sudden the leaves started to rise. There were sparkles all around the plants. It was bright around it. It was like some mystical magic trick was happening. We weren't scared when it happened. There was nothing to be scared of. It was just a plant. We could not move. Our bodies were frozen we couldn't make a sound. It went on for probably about 15 seconds, then the leaves just fell. At the exact monet they fell we all screamed jumped up and ran up the stairs. It took us about 2 hours to be able to go back down to sleep.

We never told anyone. We thought we were crazy. We also never spoke of it again to eachother. It was to stragne of an experience and we were so young, we didn't really comprehend what had happened. I still have doubts today. Does anyone have an explanation other than a spirit? Could it have been that we were all wanting that same thing to happen so badly at the same time that our energy actually lifted the plants?

Please let me know if you have anything to say about this. I would appreciate it. So there you have it. Not to scary, although at the time it was the scarriest thing that ever happend. But that's my story!
