Psychic Circle

October 27, 2009



On October 27, 2009 I received an e-mail from Amanda J. about an interesting ouija board experience:


I recently got a new board, a really colorful elaborate one called the "psychic circle." It's pretty cool to look at. Jason and I gave it a shot the other day, here's how it went.

Me: We invite all spirits to come into our home and speak with us if you mean us no harm. We surround ourselves with a white light and only wish to speak with good, kind spirits who mean us absolutely no harm. You are welcome here and can trust us.

(we waited a few minutes before the planchette moved.)

Board: Hello
Me: Hello. Who is this?
Board: No

Me: Oh great. Is this Leo?
Board: No

Me: Have we ever talked to you before?
Board: Maybe

Me: Ok...Do you have something you came to tell us?
Board: Fear

Me: Ok. Fear what?
Board: Me

Me: Why should we fear you?
Board: I am strong

Me: Oh yeah? Do you have the ability to move things?
Board: Yes

Me: What makes you strong?
Board: never alive

Me: Ok, you were never alive? If you're strong will you move something?
Board: Yes

Me: Ok, go ahead. (we waited a little while and looked around to see if anything was happening)
Me: Well, what are you going to move?
Board: Look

Me: Look at what?
Board: Picture

(We both got up and looked at all the picture frames that were in the living room to see if anything was different, but we couldn't find anything.)

Me: What picture?? You didn't move anything.
Board: Home

Me: Home? A home picture? What do you mean?
Board: Yes

Me: Yes what?
Board: Look

Jason: Home picture? The 'home sweet home' sign maybe?
Me: Maybe.

(He realized we have a sign that says "home sweet home" above our steps leading upstairs. We ran to look at it, but it wasn't moved.)

Me: I think you're messing with us. We'll talk to you later, ok?
Board: Goodbye

We went back to the same board a little while later and said the same type of opening and waited for someone.

Board: Hello
Me: Hello, who is this?

Board: Tom
Me: Oh hi, Tom! How are you?
Board: Good

Me: Anything you want to say?
Board: Stop

Me: Stop what?
Board: asking spirits

Me: Asking for new spirits to come through?
Board: Yes

Me: Why?
Board: Bad

Me: They're bad? We only ask for the ones that mean no harm.
Board: Stop

Me: Did bad spirits come through just now?
Board: Trying

Me: They're trying? Who all is here now?
Board: Max

Me: Max from before? He's back? That's good.
Jason: How come he came back to us?
Board: He is welcome

Me: He's always welcome. What is he doing?
Board: Keeping you safe
Me: from other spirits?

(Then it didn't move for almost a minute)

Me: Tom? Are you still here?
Board: Say TT

Me: Say "TT?" Is that what you meant? Why?
Board: Protect

Me: For protection??
Board: Stop

Me: Stop talking?
Board: No

Me: Stop what? I'm confused.
Board: asking

Me: For just any spirits?
Board: Yes

Me: Ok, what does "say tt" mean?
Board: Protect

Me: Saying that protects us?
Board: Yes

Me: Ok...TT. But we like getting new spirits to talk.
Board: Bad

Me: Hey Tom, will you show yourself to me again soon?
Board: Maybe

Me: When?
Board: Soon

Me: You always say that. How about today?
Board: Yes

Me: Ok, you better.
(to Jason) Let's go have a cigarette.
Jason: Ok.
Me: Tom, did you smoke when you were alive?
Board: Yes

Me: Do you miss it?
Board: yes

Me: You can steal some of mine, ok?
Board: Yes

Me: Ok, you can anytime. Talk to you soon, Ok?
Board: Yes

Me: I'm going to leave the pointer on the board. You can move it any time, ok? We'd like it if you did.
Board: Maybe

Me: Ok, Bye, Tom.
Board: Goodbye

We went out for a cigarette and joked that Tom was having one with us. We came back and my cat Mazzy was sprawled out across the board sleeping. I doubt Tom moved anything because he rarely does. But he does always claims to be playing with Mazzy when we aren't around. We moved the cat and talked to him one last time before bed.

Me: Tom, are you still here?
Board: Yes

Me: Did you share my cigarette?
Board: Yes

Jason: Hey Tom, are you going to come to our wedding next year?
Board: Maybe

Me: You should.
Board: Yes

Me: Do you love us?
Board: Maybe

Me: Maybe? We love you. Are you joking around?
Board: Yes

Me: Do you like to joke with us?
Board: Yes

Me: Hey what should our wedding song be? We can't decide.
Board: From the heart

Me: Is that a name of a song?
Board: No

Me: Just something from the heart?
Board: Yes

Me: Did you have a favorite song?
Board: No

Me: Well, what did you and your wife listen to?
Board: Oldies

Me: I like a lot of the oldies. There's a bunch of girls I like. Um...Carole King, Roberta Flack, Joni Mitchell, um...Emmylou Harris...love them!
Board: They are good.

Me: There has to be a song you like.
Board: Denver

Jason: John Denver?
Board: Come to Boston

Me: Please come to Boston? Does he sing that?
Jason: I think so?
Board: Yes play it

Me: Play it?
Board: online

Me: We'll play it on my phone, ok?
Board: Yes

(We searched youtube for it, but didn't find John Denver singing it. So we played Annie's Song by John Denver, then went back to the board.)

Me: That song is perfect! That was played at my mom and dad's wedding. Do you like that one?
Board: Yes

Me: We found it completely by accident because of you. That's a good one from the heart, right?
Board: Yes

Me: I'll be crying though. I cry so easily!
Board: I know

Me: haha do you laugh at me when I cry over little things?
Board: No I like it

Me: hahaha You like it? I don't!
Jason: I do, its sweet.
Board: Yes

Me: Ok, it's getting late. Thanks for talking so much today, Tom. Don't forget to show yourself to us tonight if you want. Goodnight!
Board: Goodbye

This is one of many conversations we've had with Tom. And we can speak to him any time we're home. He's been in our house since his death in 1983. I've grown to know him and trust him from talking with him so much. I'm really not sure what to think about the warnings he gave us. I like finding new spirits and talking with them. I thought we were doing everything right. Any advice?


If you have any advice for Amanda, please send me an e-mail and I will forward it on to her.
