Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My bestfriend Chris and I were hanging out with some of our buddies. We were all sitting around the TV being bored and trying to find something to do, so randomly Chris starts to talk about this ghost/spirit living in his closet.

At first I was a real skeptic but then he said he had a way to talk to it with a pendulum, so out of natural curiosity we started to use the pendulum he had made. We started to ask it simple questions like “are you male?”, etc. and the pendulum seemingly worked with yes or no questions. But I still doubted until we started to try and reword questions and the pendulum would not move at all only on those certain questions, we basically spent our entire night messing with this pendulum. In my mind the pendulum only brought curiosity, so I started to research ways to contact spirits (Ouija, etc.) and decided to buy a board to see if it would really contact spirits. I went to Toys R’ Us and bought a board and brought it back to Chris’s house (I had already researched the precautions to use, while using a Ouija board.) We sat down with the board in his room with the lights turned off, a white candle, and a pure silver coin (to put on the board). I started off trying to be the medium and tried contacting a spirit but it didn’t work; we had forgotten to warm up the board and we decided to step it up a notch (since it was day-time) and try using the board in his pitch black closet. So the session started in the closet and for the first time the planchette moved.

We asked:

Question – “Is there any spirits among us that would be willing to speak with us?” Answer – “Yes”

Question – “What is your name?” Answer – “Bradley”

Question – “How old are you?” Answer – “34″

Question – “What would you like to talk to us about?” Answer – “Dea…” I immediately stopped the planchette thinking it was a demon, and said: “Now I want to say goodbye and would like for you to say goodbye also.” The planchette then moved to “goodbye”. Our first encounter was creepy, we kept asking “are you moving the planchette” and the answer was always “Nah dude, I’m not, I swear.”

After the encounter we cleansed the planchette (I feel more comfortable when we do that) like always. Later that day we decided to give it another go and this time a spirit that happened to be female named Gabe contacted us. Chris and I went through the motions asking it questions about itself (the spirit announced itself as a good spirit but it could have been lying) and finally got to the question: “is there something specific you would like to talk to us about?” The letters rang out like a bullet D E A T H, I was sick of death coming up in the conversations so we went with it… we asked:

Question – “Whose death would you like to talk about?” Answer – “Steven.” (that’s me) (I left the room and left my friend to find out the rest because I was nervous) He asked:

Question – “What about Stevens death?” Answer – “Horrifying.”

Question – “How?” Answer – “Car Crash.”

Question – “When?” Answer – “48 years.”

At first I did not want to know these answers but the curiosity got the best of me and I asked him what it said. We went back in to the closet and shut down the board but when we asked the spirit to say goodbye it responded with “NO” so we had to close the board up without the spirits cooperation and cleansed the planchette. This session left me with many questions: Was it a demon? Will it come true? Did it have other things to say? These things are still floating around in my head and I cant figure it out; I want it to have been a demon just screwing with me, but I guess we will never know until the day I die.
