Do You Dare to Play with a Ouija Board?

               Hey Friends! Today while I was researching, I came across a very interesting article. At first, I was just searching paranormal on Google, but I wanted to get a topic more in depth than just paranormal. So, I looked up Ouija Board hauntings! I clicked on many websites, but none really stood out to me, and I felt as if all the stories weren't real enough, and didn't send the chill up my spine that I was looking for. A lot of ghost stories I feel are just hoax, so sometimes it is hard to find one that seems genuine, and real. For a while, I was clicking links, until I finally got to an article. The article, Ouija: Not a Game, was written by, Dale Kaczmarek, who is apart of the Ghost Research Society.

               A lot of people do not believe in paranormal things, such as ghost, but I for one on the other hand, do believe. I've actually had experiences. Just to give you a little background on my ghost experiences I will share a brief story, before I really get into the Ouija topic. One of my best friend's house is haunted. We were sitting in her room one day, in broad daylight, and she had her perfume bottle sitting on her desk. We were watching Netflix on her iPad, and we heard a thump. When we both looked next to her bed, where the desk was located, the perfume slid to the opposite side of the surface. We sat there in silence, freaked out, because what else were two 6th grade girls going to do when no one else was home to help us. Also she claims that clothes have been thrown out of her closet, and onto the floor while she was just sitting there. How's that for a paranormal experience?

              Okay, back to the Ouija board business. The author, explains to you what a Ouija board is, and does. So, for those of you that don't exactly know, a Ouija board is just a compressed wooden board, sold at virtually all toy stores, occult supply, and book stores. It has numbers and the alphabet written on it. The boards are used to communicate with the dead, and can be very dangerous if used incorrectly. Kaczmarek says that he does not advise that you mess with one of these demon portals. 

Kaczmarek goes on to say, "Most often spirits whom are contacted through the Ouija are those whom reside on the lower astral plane. These spirits are very confused [...] Therefore, many negative and violent conditions are present to those using the board." 

              Kaczmarek, later gives examples of some horrifying stories from users of Ouija boards. One of the stories I read was titled "Ouija Board Summons Demons," where a family of four used a Ouija board for a fun family night, and ended up meeting what they believe was to be the Devil. The spirit tormented the family, leaving them with cuts and bruises, with the children hospitalized. They were "attacked for what seemed like an hour", the writer says, and "the room became so hot, like an inferno from hell." 

            I don't know about you, but I would not know what to do with myself after seeing something like that. I would be absolutely terrified. There are several more stories about Ouija board experiences, so feel free to visit the site. I will list all links used for my research below. Also, I will be updating you with another terrifying post on Tuesday!
