Many unusual things have happened to us who live on the 4th floor of Mcwelsh (an all girls dorm). We have to admit the happenings started when we started playing the Ouija board. Shortly after playing the Ouija board one night "Jane" and "Jo" heard footsteps in the hallway. When they went to investigate they found no-one. They asked around and they were the only ones to hear the footsteps.

The Ouija board seems to works best for the same two girls "Sally" and "Jill". One night while playing the board they encountered a not so friendly spirit that would not leave until "Sally" placed her Cruifix that had been blessed by the Pope on the board. They then proceeded to go to a Catholic Church to get Holy Water and blessed the floor. It didn't work very well in fact I beleive that that is when the strange happenings began.

Many things act strangely on our floor also. Lights turn on by themselves. The water fountain turns on by itselfs and runs till someone turns it off. All our cars break down at once and it is just happens those people who have played the Ouija board.

One of my friends "Jo" heard her name whispered outside her door. When she got up to investigate the only person in the hall was me and I was halfway down the hall and I saw no-one else.

At times we can hear people moving chairs above us. We are on the top floor.

At one Ouija session Jo, Sally, Jill, Shania, and I were talking to one spirit who was only nice to Jill. When we would ask what are names meant it would tell bastard, fucker, asshole, and whore. For Jill it gave her the correct meaning to her name.

The spirits seem to follow us and those around us. Jill felt a presence when we were in another building off campus. Sally's boyfriend heard his name being called when he was hunting and he was in a totally empty field except for himself. He has never joined us playing the Ouija Board.

This is all we can remember at this time, but we will be in McWelsh till May. Who knows something strange usually happens to us. Many nights we have slept with the lights on and crosses clutched in our hands.
