Ouija Board

This actually happened to me about two weeks ago.

Two good friends of mine who live a state over decided to come visit me on a whim. We bought some "good time" supplies and one night, really really late, we had all sobered up and found ourselves with nothing to do. One of my friends, we'll call her Alex, and I had already messed with a Ouija board before on a few occasions. We both know a lot about them and managed to rally up the hopes of our respective boyfriends. "Let's get scared! Let's just freak ourselves out!" Neither of the men were true believers, so we figured, why not? Something to do.

So we made a Ouija board. Nobody ever tells you that playing with a Ouija board is a good, safe, or fun thing to do. Ever. Prior to this night, I did actually think they were fun. But quickly, I understood why so many people had warned me of the board.

For the first ten or fifteen minutes, it was mostly us just asking questions to empty air. Then Alex suggested that we turn out the lights. We lit candles, turned the radio on to white noise, and let the room get dark. That's when things started to get weird. The planchette, before we could even ask if there was anything there, moved very quickly to hello. To which I asked, "Who are you?" The static noise from the radio stopped. It was dead silent. The planchette spelled out, very quickly, Zozo. I can't remember specifically all of the questions we asked, but I remember some of the answers. It told us to "get help", and when we asked for whom, it spelled out "white cat". That's my big kitty, Sly Pooper, and the next day he was limping with a hurt rear leg. He was fine the day before. I don't know what happened. When we asked Zozo to give us a sign of his presence, he spelled out "stop". Around that time we started to hear weird screeching noises coming from the radio, but I figured it was just interference and turned it off.

Then half of the things on top of my fridge fell to the floor. A bag of bananas, a container of garlic cloves, a glass dish, and a bag of onions, crashed onto the floor in a big heap, and before I could even react, half of the candles blew out, too. We acknowledged Zozo out loud and thanked him. I have lived in this apartment for ten months, and I've never seen anything like that happen. I was freaked out. It was getting real.

We decided to ask Zozo to leave, he told us no. We decided to tell it to leave, the planchette kept going back from hello to no, it did this seven or eight times. My two friends took their fingers off the planchette. They were scared. My boyfriend and I were the only ones with fingers on it. I was the designated medium, but out of nowhere my boyfriend demanded Zozo to leave because he was not welcome in our home. My brain was like, what a bad fucking idea. We began to try and move the planchette in circles like you do when you're expecting an answer, and all of the sudden, it fucking stopped the "hello" spot of the board and would not fucking move. We actually slid the whole board off the table trying to get it to move. It was being pushed down, hard. My boyfriend and I only had a finger each on it. I guess anything is possible, but I can't see how it could have been him, and I know it wasn't me.

The next morning I folded the board into three and buried it off of a nature trail at the edge of my town. There were really weird things happening in our house until recently. While I was in the bathroom late at night, what looked like two feet was obstructing the light shining under the door. The door to our office locks from the outside, and while my boyfriend and I were in there, it locked. His two year old was in bed sleeping, I just don't think she's agile or tall enough to lock that door without anyone hearing her/noticing. Plus, that thing with my cat's hurt back leg. We would hear things in our bedroom being thrown around, and what sounded like people walking around in our living room at night. It all sort of gradually stopped. Nothing really obtrusive has been happening lately.

Tl;dr: My friend and I didn't take the Ouija board seriously and our boyfriends didn't believe at all. We had one session that went all rogue and freaky and actually made my house haunted for a week or so. I won't tell you not to mess with it because that's dumb. Just be ready for things to get real fast.
