The Truth about Ouija Boards

Do you believe Ouija boards are evil? Should they be banned from the general public? A history and belief have been told about them for generations. But there’s one problem – it’s a toy, made from cardboard and plastic. It is mass produced by Parker Brothers, the same people that makes Clue and Monopoly. Parker Bros. is a corporation like any other and have no discernable evil intentions. So why is there such a controversy about them in the paranormal and spiritual fields?

Let’s look back into the proposed history of the Ouija board. One belief that is said to be the forerunner to the Ouija board is Fuji. Fuji is the divination method in which Chinese characters are drawn in sand or incense ashes. But this is not Ouija, this is a form of spirit writing, with no board. Not Ouija. Another proposed precursor is, according to a Greek historical account of the philosopher Pythagoras, in 540 B.C. his …

Vanishing Into Another Dimension?

There are many strange stories of mysterious disappearances. Everybody knows about Amelia Earhart, the Mary Celeste, Jimmy Hoffa and maybe even Ambrose Bierce, and hot zones of strange activity like the Bermuda Triangle and similar locations like the Bass Strait Triangle, The Michigan Triangle and the Devil’s Sea but I wanted to investigate the more mysterious and strange disappearances. All of these stories are true and can be found on the internet for further investigation.

In 1815, a prisoner in a Prussian gulag, named Diderici was in a chain gang walking in the prison yard for the day’s exercise. As Diderici walked with his prison inmates, he slowly began to fade in and out of view. His body became more and more transparent until Diderici disappeared altogether, and his manacles and leg irons fell empty to the ground.

On September 23, 1880, David Lang was walking across the grounds of his farm to meet Judge August Peck, and Lang’s brother-in-law, …

The Number 32

During my last story (Ectoplasm?) I mentioned how my family has had so many strange occurrences that we started to document them and with practically every commenter wanting to hear more of those stories I’ve decided to write this one. I thought I’ll have this story be about me this time and start off my storytelling “career” on this site with a simple one. I’ll do the same thing I did before and ask if anybody wants to hear more of my families strange stories at the end of this and ask it again at the end of every subsequent story as to not over expose myself and make my new stories stale.

I run into the number 32 every day. This number has surrounded me my whole life and I realized this about ten years ago. I’ve decided to write this as a check list to keep it simple. If this equals 32 I’ll freak out.

Ectoplasm?

My family has an interesting history. We have had so many strange occurrences that, starting in the mid 80′s, we have been documenting them and putting them in filing cabinets. I might add some more of those stories on here and I’ll start with this one since it’s the latest one but by far not the strangest.

My uncle and his family moved into a new home roughly 6 months ago. Almost immediately, within a couple days, they started noticing a thick liquid dripping down the walls. It was semi clear with a white tint and very thick like corn syrup or shampoo. It wouldn’t seep out of every crack and crevice like the blood in the Amityville Horror but it would appear here and there occasionally like in a patch in the middle of the wall or drip down from above the suspended ceiling in the cellar which they have converted into a living room.

It would also appear …
