Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I am writing this from a cell phone, but I felt compelled to share my story after 10 years (I am now 25).

I created my own Ouija board using a wooden art box, a sharpie and a clear makeup screw off top. My best friend and I were 13 or so and we decided to try using a board. We asked the typical questions and some interesting answers came. One thing I noticed was that whatever we spoke to couldn’t talk about what its like to die or describe God BUT they did agree to a heaven and a hell.

I wore a blessed Rosary that my grandmother had given me. I didn’t know what to expect but I wanted to be cautious. So one spirit seemed upset and said his name was David or Dave, something. I asked him why he was upset and he said that his daughter was being hurt. I asked him if he wanted us to help. I honestly didn’t know what I could do, but I could sense the urgency. My board I designed had the numbers one through ten and I asked him if he wanted us to call her. Well to my amazement he said yes. I asked what her name was and he replied Katie. I asked what the number was and I got a strange area code and the other seven digits. Then I asked what he wanted me to say and the message for her was, “tell her not to let him hurt her anymore.”

By that time I knew my friend and I had to tell my mom and my aunt who were in the house. I first went to my aunt and she was so freaked out that she refused to help but went with us to my mom. Explaining everything to her was sort of funny because it sounded that outrageous. I pretty much told my mom she has to repeat the message but that I would call and see if that person was even at the strange number.

I star sixty-nined our phone and made the call. A little girl answered the number… I was shocked the number worked and then I asked if Katie was there. She said that she was Katie but that her mom was Katie too. I was freaked out so I asked for her mom and threw the phone to my own mom. My mom told the woman that what she was going to say was going to sound strange but that her daughter and my friend had used a Ouija board and that is when she said the name and the message. The woman went nuts and was screaming. My mom hung up and I will never forget that day. I wish I had kept the number and remembered the details more, but as a child you don’t think about that stuff. Just hope that if someone was hurting the woman or the girl that our message made a difference.
