This happened to me and my brother in 2004, when I was 15. A little back story is required. There is a spot in the woods below my house called Indian Rock. Local legend says a Cherokee Chiefs daughter loved a warrior and when he died in battle she leaped to her death into the creek about 40 feet below. Now if you go there on a full moon you can hear he scream and see her walk out of the cliff face below into the creek. I’ve been there many nights and seen and heard it
So we decided in our utter brilliance to bring a Ouija board up there and see what happened. We talked to a couple spirits and than one who caught our attention. Claimed to be my father, he died when I was 12. As we got to talking we realized something wasn’t right. The spirit did not speak like my father and even said some things that were completely wrong. Decided this wasn’t who they said they were we closed out the conversation. When we did this our campfire shot 15 feet in the air and burned a brilliant green color. We realized it was time to go home and we ran like hell let me tell you.
Over the next few weeks we had nightmares and things started going weird around the house. Stuff moving around, shadows appearing out of no where. Especially weird were the voices we would hear, low hissing voices saying our names. I decided the best thing to do would be to get rid of the board. We took it up the street and threw it in the dumpster. When we got home it was sitting on my bed. We thought somebody was playing tricks on us so we took it and tied it to a cinder block to it and chucked it into the river. Thinking that was the end of it we went home. And sure as I’m sitting here with chills typing this, it was laying on my bed, soaking wet. At this point we didn’t know what to do, in a last ditch effort we made a bonfire and tossed it in. The damn board sat there in the fire and didn’t even get a scorch mark on it.
We had exhausted all our ideas and the dreams and occurrences were getting worse and we knew it was only a matter of time. Finally we broke down and told our Pastor what had happened. He told us to give him the board and he blessed the house and we got baptized again. I don’t know what he did with and quite frankly I don’t care. But the dreams have stopped except for the occasional one but that may be just from the sheer trauma of the experience. However occasionally when I see something that’s not there or hear a voice that doesn’t belong to any one. Sounds ridiculous and if I hadn’t been there I’d probably never believe, but it happened. And I’ll never forget…..

Ummm….it wouldn’t burn ’cause it was soaking wet. Ya said so,yourself o.O And I am not saying you’re lying or anything,but, I have such a hard time taking these kinds of stories (I.e.: boards reappearing after such drastic measures were taken to destroy them) And getting rid of the board after the fact would make no difference really anyway because whatever /whomever ya made contact with,well,it accepted your invitation. Your invite was implied the very second that your fingers touched that planchette !! Moral to this story tho: DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH THE BOARD.It’s a lot harder getting rid of them, than it is to find them. But like I said,the part where the board kept reappearing..? I have trouble with. Good luck-
I waited for it to dry before I tried burning it, I’m not a total idiot LoL. Like I said had I not seen it with my own 2 eyes I’d be sitting here saying “Dude you’re lying”. But it happened and I learned my lesson. I hope it never happens to any you so you can stay kinda skeptical, because it’s sucks
well i’ve never actually used a ouija board but i’ve heard alot of stories and well my friend has played it before nd said she was have these weird dreams and then she starting seeing things but we all thought it was in her head. just imagination but turns out it wasn’t she never got rid of it and one day we found her in her room talking in another language and then all of a sudden she collapsed and after a couple or a few hours later she came to. and she said that the board flew up and start floating around… and that she got rid of it somehow but i would like to know wat did the priest do with the ouija board????
I can relate to this story because the same thing happened to me and my boyfriend. He wanted to try out a ouija board too, and when he got mad at it, he broke it in half and threw it in the garbage. I found it in the cupboard that evening and he started seeing things after that. Whatever it was he saw scared him so bad, that he screamed and hid in the corner. he told me later that he saw a demon with an evil grin and said he never wanted to see another ouija board again.
if you knew what happened at indain rock why on earth bring a ouija board?
Anna, I was wondering the same = ) But, ya know what tho ? They wanted ‘em…and well, they got ‘em ! People who use Ouija boards don’t go into it blind. And ya know, ya can just bet they’ve heard a story (or two) concerning bad experiences someones had while using a board – yet they choose to ignore any warnings!! All I can say, is that I wish them good luck because they’re gonna need it !
thanks.and it only takes one time for someone to try it and something way worse can happen.no experince here but i read enough stories but thats not why i wont try it.im not a follower.
I was a 15 year old kid who thought I was tough and nothing could mess with me. We were dumb
you said it not us.and of course you had to be tuff you probably wanted to prove something by using it.am i right?
I just said what everybody else is thinking LoL. I’ll be the first to tell you I was dumb. I wouldn’t really say we had to prove something, our mind set was “let’s see what happens, if anything. And if it does we can handle it” Unfortunately we were wrong.
you learned your lesson right?
With ouija boards, absolutely. Exploring the paranormal? Not so much. I’ve got a camping trip planned to the Devils Playground in NC at the end of October. They say you hear voices, hear things moving out in the woods, see things (eyes, weird shadows, and so on). If anything happens I’ll post up on here and let yall know about it
as long as you dont use the ouija board.but i do want to know how if you find out anything.
Just got off the phone with the Sheriffs Dept. from the area I was heading, they said it’s a hoax (which I’m sure they would say regardless) and that no one is allowed to go there. While I’d love to go and see for myself, a trespassing ticket is just out of the question
The same reason people play with em when something happens in their house. You know the risk but either curiosity gets the better of you, or you just really don’t care and you’re not scared. Like I said it’s just plain out stupidity but hey it makes an entertaining story.
i agree it is hard to believe about the board coming back everytime you try and get rid of it.sorry.
I would have ran really fast too if the ghost said something on the board lol. I love the story!!! And never play with the board again please you would get the same problem again. So yea thats all I really have to say and be careful!!
Glad you liked it. It’s one of my favorite stories to tell, now that I’ve sorta got past it LoL. Believe me I’ll never touch another one as long as I live
Hmm, how do you know that it was a demon? Because of the nightmares it gave you?? You wouldn’t mind describing the nightmares specifically if you can??
Mainly because of my other experiences with spirits. I think it was a demon mainly because of the malicious nature of the dreams and what was happening. The biggest reason was because after my preacher blessed the house and we got baptized it mostly stopped.
I appreciate all the feed back, especially the skeptics. I’m glad people here don’t believe everything they hear on here. I didn’t post this to convince anybody of anything, you’re here already because you believe. I posted partially as a warning and partially to entertain people with a very interesting life story. I hope you enjoy it and learn from my mistake
I believe you because, every story I have read about the Ouija boards, they involved seeing shadows and strange things happening. They also talk about getting rid of the board and it always returns in every story. Do not play with a Ouija board ever it’s the most dangerous thing you can do.
This was a well told story. Sadly, if I lived somewhere that had a reputation like this, I would of done the same thing!!
I agree W/ Voodoochilegail, I 2 have read many stories where people try 2 get rid of the Quija board & it returns…I’ve read many cases like his that it’s hard 2 get of Quija boards 1nz sum1 is having his kind of experiences so I do have 2 say Dat I blieve U Seth. So do U still experience things? & if so what?
Still see shadows occasionally and hear voices now and than. It’s not that bad and is liable to be all in my head. But things have gotten better rather than worse and for that I’m very thankful
Take heed children, never never never use a ouija board or even be around someone that is. They have always been trouble just waiting to happen.
i’ve used one my self, i can’t say i blame people for using them but its STUPID i managed to burn mine, and it got worse way way way worse. never ever ever use one of those stupid boards , unless u have a death wish
im like the only person in the world the board never worked for. and instead of a board i would have taken a camera that way someone might actualy by this bull. i just read another story where somebody saw jesus. well if thats the case im Napolean. if u want i got a quiji board to prove it. lol!
