This story happened to me and my friend "Jillian" who wrote in about our Mental Institution experience. This is a story about being in contact with a spirit who would not leave me alone.

When I was 14 I moved into a "new" house. It was one of those cool old houses in an older part of town. Anyway...we (me, Jillian, Janna, and a friend named Ashley) were having a sleepover at my house. Janna wanted to play w/ a ouija board and we that it would be fun. Well we played with it and after an hour or so we contacted a spirit named John. John told me that he had killed himself because his wife had cheated on him with his best friend and it pissed him off. We talked to him and I told him that I felt bad that he had killed himself. Then my mom came upstairs and we put it away so we wouldn't get in trouble.

The next week I woke in the middle of the night because I was freezing. I sat up and was going to pull my covers up when I saw a figure at the foot of my bed. I jumped back under the covers and started to cry. Then I heard a voice say "it's okay Dana, it's me John. I just wanted to thank you for being so kind to me." I said "thank you but you are scaring me please leave me alone." Then I woke up....you see this had all been a dream....it scared me real bad so I went and climbed in bed with my sister Piper. I cried and cried because I was so afraid of the dream.

I continued to have dreams about John and eventually saw his face. These dream experiences happened until i was 17 and then something even worse happened......I was coming home from work when I felt a presence near me. I looked over and saw John in the seat next to me. I screamed and blacked out. When I woke up I was in the hospital and the doctor told me I had wrapped my car around a telephone pole. I asked him where the passenger was and he laughed and said there was no passenger, and that I must have a concussion. I left the hospital 2 days later in perfect condition.

Two weeks later I returned home from school to find a dozen roses on the door. I was thrilled especially when I read the card was from my boyfriend who was in the military. I went to bed that night feeling very happy. suddenly I was awakened by a brutal shaking and when my eyes opened I saw the figure of John. He began to hit me and yell that I was a cheating whore and that he was going to kill me and then kill himself. I continued to be hit repeatedly and then he stepped away from the bed and I saw him put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger. I fainted immediatly. My mom woke me the next morning and was terribly concerned about the bruises I had all over my face and body. I didn't want to tell her the truth because it was so far fetched, so I pretended not to know...(to this day my family still believes and intruder did it.)

I never saw or heard from John again much to my relief. However this past year I began to do research on him and discovered that he died in 1974, which happens to be the year I was born. He killed his wife who's name is DANA and then killed himself. I know that it sounds way weird but I swear to you it is true. All of this happened in our house which leads me to believe that that is why I contacted him. My friend Jillian teases me and says that I am the reincarnation of his wife but I think she is full of it. However I wouldn't doubt that john thinks that......
