Scary Stories

3

My best friend has always been very interested in the paranormal. She loved it; the ghosts, the horror, the werewolves, everything.

One day, when we were about 15, we were sat in our school's music room, eating lunch, as we do everyday. Our other friends were there, there were six of us in total. They were all very interested in ghosts and stuff (apart from me and one of my other friends).

So, they were sat eating lunch and talking about the paranormal (me and my other uninterested friend were listening to music), when they start to talk about ouija boards.

One of them says how they're really dangerous and we should never do them, but the other three, including my best friend, really want to do it.

One of my friends happened to have a ouija board at her house, and she invited us all over to use it. The two of us who were listening to music, said no. Especially because me and my friend didn't like that sort of thing. My sensible friend also said no, and tried to convince them that it was too dangerous. But, unfortunately, she failed.

Saturday night, they all went around to this one friend's house for a sleepover. My best friend said that it was all pretty normal until they brought out the ouija board. She got a very uneasy feeling, and wanted to back out but was afraid the others would call her a wimp.

So, it happened like this:

They all put their fingers on the ouija board

Friend 1 (the one who owned the ouija board): "Is anyone there?"

The piece began to move

Everyone was really scared and watched in anticipation to find out what it would say

The letters spelled L O L

Friend 2: *bursts out laughing*

Friend 1: "UGH YOU! I THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL!!!"

Friend 3 (my best friend): *laughs as friend 1 shoves friend 2*

After laughing for a while, they regain their seriousness and ask again

Friend 3: "Is anyone there?"

They wait for a while, and friend 1 asks again. They wait for a little while, friend 3 is just about to announce she's bored when the piece starts to move

Friend 1: "Hey! Cut it out __(Friend 2)__! We're supposed to be doing this seriously now!"

Friend 2: "It wasn't me!"

They all watch as the piece moves to the letters Y E S

My best friend'a stomach plummeted as the temperature dropped.

Friend 1: "Who are you?"

This time the piece only moved to the letter G

Sure someone was messing around, friend 1 then asked: "Do you have a message for us?"

Everyone watched as the piece moved: MARGARET WILL DIE

At first, they were all confused. They didn't know anyone called Margaret.

They were all slightly scared, but carried on, asking some really stupid questions.

Friend 1: "When will I die?"

TUESDAY

Friend 2: "Will I see a man under my bed tonight?"

YES

Friend 3 decided to ask an extremely stupid question, linking to friend 1's question: "Will my Grandma die this Tuesday?"

They all laughed until the ouija board spelled out YES

Suddenly, my best friend felt really bad about asking that question, she hadn't expected that answer.

She immediately told them to pack the ouija board away, so they did.

The rest of the night seemed pretty normal, until they were supposed to be sleeping.

Friend 1 had a pretty large house, so they all slept in separate beds in the spare room.

They were just casually sat on the floor, chatting (as you do at sleepovers). They wanted it to be darker, so friend 2 went to get her lantern from her bag under her bed.

She knelt down and looked for her bag, but she found something else.

She screamed and everyone came running. They asked her what she saw, because they couldn't see anything, and she said she saw a man under her bed.

She was so freaked out that they had to sleep in a different room.

Friend 1's house was pretty old, and her parents found out later that a guy called Gary had been murdered there.

When the sleepover was over, they all went home, still pretty shaken.

~Timeskip~

It was Tuesday evening, after school. Everyone's parents had come to take them home, except friend 1, she was getting a lift home with my best friend (friend 3), because they had stayed later than everyone else to go to a club.

Friend 3's Grandma came to pick them up in her car.

This was the saddest part, for everyone.

While they were driving home, there was a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road.

Friend 3's Grandma swerved out of the way, but she lost control, and they crashed through a barrier, tumbling down a hill and into the forest.

My best friend woke up in hospital two weeks later. Her Grandma, Margaret, and our dear friend died. My friend died of a broken neck and my best friend's Grandma was crushed to death.

We still miss them, and my best friend was absolutely mortified when she woke up. When she came back to school, it wasn't the same without friend 2. She always used to make everyone laugh, it was so quiet with her gone.

We're not sure if this would have happened if they didn't do the ouija board, but it's not the first time things like this have happened as a result of that evil thing. It can't be a coincidence that they crashed at 7:06pm (6:66pm - both my friends lived a long way away from school at the time).

This is why I advise you, please, do not use a ouija board, and if you do, don't ask silly questions like my friends did, because you could end up seriously hurt, or worse...
