Short Horror Stories

52. Real Story 2

I’ve had two experiences with Ouija boards, the second of which made me get rid of mine and never touch one again. The first time was when my best friend, Melanie, and I started using the Ouija at her mother’s house, and it told us that it was a male spirit and that it was going to hurt us. It directed most of its threats and comments to Melanie, and it used a lot of bad language, something Melanie and I didn’t do. That night, Melanie said she heard knocks in the room she was sleeping in all night long!

The second time Melanie and I used it was at her house. We put the board on a table that had one of those mirror tops. We lit a candle and started using the board. It kept saying that Melanie was pregnant and that it wanted to show us what it (the “spirit”) looked like. We started to get scared and said, no, we didn’t want to see it. At that point, the candle flame got really long and made a “whooshing” noise. The flame turned blue. Melanie and I were looking down at the table when we saw a the blue flame reflected in the glass. We moved away from the table and the board and then saw a face in the flame. It wasn’t Melanie or me, but a man’s face. The face slowly started turning into a skull. We blew out the candle and threw the Ouija board away. That night, we kept hearing scratching and clawing noises even though we were alone in the house and never heard those noises before.

We also found out a few days later that Melanie was pregnant. I’ve never used a Ouija board since that second time, and I don’t ever intend to!
