I have never wrote about this before but as I was going through reading stories, I decided to finally tell my experience.
About 5 years ago in 2004, I moved into a new apartment by myself in Atlanta. A girlfriend of mine, Shelicia who lived in Washington, D.C. decided to make the trip down so that we could celebrate my newly “single” status since I had just broke up with my boyfriend. Her best friend Lana, whom I had never met before happened to be in Atlanta for a convention as well that weekend. While I was at work the first day that Shelicia was there, she nicely unpacked all of my boxes for me and put everything away. A couple hours after I came home from work, Lana came by to visit. It was my first time meeting her and she was very bubbly and nice.
About ten minutes after Lana arrived, Shelicia brought up the fact that while she was unpacking my boxes, she came across a Ouija board. I told her that a neighbor from my old apartment had given it to me and I hadn’t used it but kept it around because it was manufactured in 1978 and was in mint condition. Shelicia and Lana were saying that they’d like to play around with it since they had never tried using one before. I thought it was an odd way to get to know Lana since she had just arrived but I figured, alright let’s give it a shot. I was a little nervous because I don’t know that I was every really trying to use the board, I just kept it for whatever reason. I had dabbled with Ouija boards in the past but nothing really serious had ever happened and luckily, I had never had a bad experience.
So we took the board out all three of us sat in a circle on the floor with our fingers lightly on the planchette. Since I was a little more comfortable with this type of thing, I decided to start it off. I said, “is there anybody here who would like to speak to us”. Instantly the board moved to “yes”….Anybody who has ever used a Ouija board knows how eerie it feels for the planchette to moved effortlessly by itself. It took Lana and Shelicia a little off guard as this was their first time. After we exchanged glances at each other, I continued, “what is your name?”. It went to “R”…then “I”…then “C”….by the time it got to “C”, I heard a sniffle and looked up and noticed Lana’s eyes welling with tears….then came “O”.
By this time Lana was full blown crying with tears streaming down her cheeks. I had no idea why as I didn’t know Lana at all. It was a little awkward. I asked what was wrong and she said, “RICO”, That’s my dad”. I was baffled! I didn’t know what to say. I knew nothing about her so I asked if he had passed on and she said “yes”. Her tears were uncontrollable and I didn’t know if we should stop right there or keep going. I asked her and she said to keep going. So I asked if there was anything that he wanted to say to Lana and the words “I-M-S-O-R-R-Y” kept repeating themselves and Lana continued crying, very hard. I hated to get so personal with her but I asked how he passed and she told me suicide. I asked a couple of more questions and “he” continued apologizing to her, her brothers and her mother. It was almost as if they were having a real conversation with each other. He told her about how he really liked her fiancé and everything. By the end of it, she was smiling and seemed to be very comforted. Almost as if there was some type of closure taking place. I really wasn’t sure what to think about it all at this point!
Then the spirit wanted to talk to me and called me by name. Told me that the September of the following year there would be a very big change in my life but would not elaborate as to whether this change was good or bad. Of course, I was very nervous at the unknown but took it for what it was since “he” wasn’t giving me many answers. We finished up the session and closed it out with a “goodbye”.
I never talked to Lana again after that weekend but found it extremely bizarre that this incident took place the way that it did. I never used the board again and think that I have since lost it in one of my many moves.
The following September 28th of 2006, I had my first child. A healthy little girl with my “ex” who ended up becoming my husband. The pregnancy was completely unplanned and it didn’t really hit me until I had her….she was due mid-October but came early.
I know that this isn’t a scary Ouija board experience, but it’s my experience nonetheless. I guess I’ve always been so confused by this because I thought that spirits that came through Ouija boards were supposed to be evil or negative. I realize that they can pretend to be anybody but none of us girls ever had a negative feeling during the session…If anything, it was a very soft and comforting one. It is definitely an experience that I will not forget. I believe that I really lucked out that day and will not be using a Ouija board again for fear that next time I won’t be so lucky. If anybody has answers or input, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for reading!

Hai! Lori! Good to see you here and welcome. Nice one I appreciate you for taking time to write this experience though it is small or the coolest story welcome again LORI. with love Manik!@!@!
Hi,
Nice to hear a comforting storie about a ouiji boards!!! Still i wouldnt do it again, you were lucky xxx
Ahh congrats on the birth of your baby girl wow i’ve read lots of ouija board stories but this is the most non-scary one i’ve read it was …AWESOME
Hi Lori,
Very nice and heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing. Also, congrats on your little girl. How wonderful
I’m also glad to hear that you’re not using those ouiji boards anymore. I’ve read some very terrifying experiences about them. on this site. Best to keep those things out of your life.
You take care and Happy Halloween!
Thanks for reading my story and for the nice comments everyone! Oh, and for the many congrats on my now terrible 3 year old! LOL
why do you say the word terrible, Honey why?, is there anything wrong with your child? I wish the baby is OK! With love Manik!@!@!
Manik- I use the term “terrible” loosely. I was kidding actually. She’s a healthy, beautiful little girl.
I have used a board twice both times with a group of freinds 1 freind who has grown up around a wiggi board most of her life. We have all had beautiful experiances with it. Hard to beleive but we have. We do it a so called saffer way. Before touching the board we all put our heads down and think of a loved one we would like to get in touch with.
Then one of us says ” Calling all GOOD spirets to the wiggi board if any one is here could you please go to yes”. We have tried this is other friends houses and nothing will happen bit in one freinds house we always have contact.
We have all had a loved one come through from a grand father saying i love you to a deceased boyfreind saying he is in Limbo until my freind completes the car they were building together as that is the last thing in life he wanted to complete. If we dont have a relation or know a spiret that has come through we ask it politely to please go to farewell or we do have some that have come through and lied through when they do you know. you have this feeling of warmth or cold. Of a loved one in the room or a cold spiret in the room. Its hard to belelive but some good can come out of a wiggi board.I hope not to have a bad experiance though
Very nice story and congrats on the the hubby and daughter. It is refreshing to read of a good experience, but staying away from the board is the best bet and wise to do.
Have a great life of family and love.

My dad committed suicide a few weeks ago – and actually that’s why I’ve been recently reading and using oujia boards, I was trying to contact him, no such luck.
i’m so very sorry for your loss, but please don’t use a board to try and contact your dad, you could let something bad into your house!! just wait and see if he comes to you in a dream. thats what my folks did, and it was wonderful!!!
oh, Rachel, bless your heart honey!! i am so sorry…. i lost my dad almost 6 years ago,, pretty suddenly…… i know you are heartbroken,, but,, dont use the board.. he will come to you.. he will visit you!!! right now he is adjusting !! give him time…… i also lost my daughter in 1993,, i totally understand honey………..
i know you have a lot of questions for him….. give him time, and give yourself time… you may not find out everything, but you will find out enough!!!! i dont know your age,, i am 51… i have also lost someone close, to suicide…. i havent talked about it here…. but, i do understand….
lots of questions!!!! i will tell you this,, he is happy and well…… no more sadness for him.. he is in a very good place!!!!! i know its hard being in your shoes…….. but,, you will come out on the better side, give yourself time honey….. i can feel your pain,,,,,
God bless you and your family,,, please, stay in touch!! and please,, like trolldoll said,, dont use the board.. stay away from it…. that may weaken your dads path back to you…..

Okay, thanks for the tip!
Aww … I’m SO sorry about your daughter and your dad
I can’t even imagine losing one of my own children (even though I’m only 12) God bless 
Rachel,
Oh, honey, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. Please listen to what everyone is telling you. The board is NOT the way to contact your dad. It really isn’t. Your dad will contact you when the time is right, wether in your dreams or some small sign to let you know he is looking over you – but right now he is finding the light and finding his way.
Stay strong honey, and there are many great people here if you need to talk.

Hi rachel,i can only imagine the pain that you are going through but,in 2007 my uncle(blessed be his name)died of lung and brain cancer,I was a wreck,he was basically a father to me and well,yeah.The next 2 nights were wonderful,as he came to me in a dream looking healthy and was mouthing words but I could not understand them,the night after that,he actually appeared to me and told me how much he loved me and that I should tell my parents that I can still remember the light(I died for 3 and a half minutes when i was 5)and that i should never use a ouija board because he said it darkens your soul.That is a tips from the other side and well I am 13,very close to your age,and I hope that he does appear soon as it makes you feel wonderful.
<3 Samantha
P.S.-Its right what they said,you can tell us anything
Blessed Be
I’m glad you didn’t have a bad experience and that ypu had a healthy daughter>That don’t usually happen so you was very lucky!!!!
Wow , this is absolutely the best story i have readdd and the only positive outcome from a spirit board experience. Good Luck with your 3 year old.
I’m happy your friend’s friend Lana got the closer she needed. This is one of the few examples that the ouija board isn’t evil. Many people post false sessions so that they can claim they are evil.
