Oujia Boards are Evil!

This is a story about using oujia boards and the dangers!! This happened the summer between my senior year of high school and first year of college (1989). My friend, Tammi's parents were out of town for a week. So a few of us decided to take up residence at her place, one so she wouldn't have to stay alone and so we could do what we wanted. One night, three of us girls, my boyfriend, and his friend decided to have a small party. (I didn't drink at that time, but I didn't mind that they did.) Well, being intelligant high school graduates, we decided that it would be cool to play with an oujia board. Now we all knew that Tammi and her family had been known to see ghosts in their house, but they were not aggressive ghosts. So we thought that we would contact them.

Tammi and I sat "indian" style on the floor with the board resting on our knees. I was sitting in front of a chair, about 6 inches away from it. We were asking for a spirit of the house to come and answer questions. We asked it stupid things at first like who we were going to marry, etc.

Then we started to ask it things like, why are you here, how did you die, etc. We asked it a yes and no question, I don't even remember what it was, but it was moving to yes, which was on my side of the board. I then started to feel a tremendous pressure in the middle of my forehead and directly to my heart, as if someone were taking their hands and pressing as hard as they could. I was fighting it, pushing all of my strength and weight into it. I felt like I could not breath. All of a sudden I literally flew back and hit the chair behind me and the pressure left. I totally freaked out. I threw the oujia board, I got up and ripped the "eye" (needle) out of the center of hand piece (I can't remember the name of that thing), and grabbed Tammi's big, huge, family Bible and started reading and praying. Everyone else freaked because they said the I was shaking and turning white before I flew back. At first they thought that I was acting, until I told them what I felt.

I have always been extremely strong in my faith as a Christian and was brought up in the church. I have been told by many friends in college, that I am the most religous person that they know. I am not a "holy roller" or anything, but I have a very strong faith in God and have never waivered from that faith or the Church. What I believed happened that night is we encountered an evil being. I think that the pressure that I felt was that evil spirit trying to enter my body through my head and heart. When it didn't work, which I believe is because of my faith in God, it got ticked off and threw me back and left.

Nothing ever happened in their house again and I refuse to ever play the oujia board or even be in the presence of one again. I strongly urge young people, or anyone, to leave those things alone. Just because parker brothers makes it, does not mean that it is just a game. It is a contact to an evil, darker world that should be left alone.
