On August 23, 2009 I received an e-mail from Jayme J. about an interesting ouija board experience:


This morning, August 23, around 2 A.M. through 3:30 A.M., my roommate and I were playing with our Ouija board. We had strange experiences before with it, but we were acting silly and asking it stupid questions.

Me: Who was my first crush?
Board: K-U-R-T.

Which was true, though I never told anyone about it.

Katie: Who was my first kiss?
Board: E-T-H-A-N.

Katie: That one doesn't count. Who kissed me in kindergarten?
Board: B-A-I-L-Y.

The board proceeded to tell us where they were and her reaction to the kiss, which she had never told me before.

We proceeded to ask different questions of that nature. Then, weird things happened. Without prompt, it began to spell:

Board: E-R-I-N.

Which is the name of my best friend who died.

Me: Why did you spell that?

It wouldn't tell us. It kept spelling "M-A-M-A-M-A" and "Z-A-Z-A-Z-A." Finally, after yelling at it, it answered.

Board: E-R-E-R.

Me: Who are you?
Board: E-R-I-N.

Me: Say something only she would know.
Board: B-E-S-T-F-

Me: Please don't spell that. Say something else.
Board: B-A-I-L-E-Y.

Which is my other best friend.

Board: S-T-A-
Me: Don't say that.

I assumed it was going to spell "Stacy," who is my friend who was accidentally involved in her death.

Me: Tell me the song only she would know makes me think about her.

Board: A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D.

Which was correct...of course.

Me: Do you need to leave?
Board: Yes.

Me: Okay. Bye.
Board: No.

Me: What do you need to say?
Board: L-O-V-E.

Me: Did you know I was thinking that?
Board: Yes.

Me: Do you want me to say it?
Board: Yes.

Me: I love you. Bye.
Board: Goodbye.

After recollecting myself, we gave it another shot. And things got even weirder.

Me: What did Wendy break?
Board: C-O-O-K-I-E.

Me: Where did I get my cookie?

We never recieved the correct answer.

Me: What's my favorite male name?
Board: N-I-K-O.

Which is a character from one of my favorite books.

Me: No. You're wrong. What is my favorite male name?
Board: A-L-E-X.

(It spelled this several times.)

Katie: Why do you keep saying that?
Board: F-A-T-H-E-R.

That is Katie's dad's name.

Board: K-A-T-I-E M-A-D.
Katie: Why am I mad at him?

It kept spelling random things. Then, it got yet even stranger.

Me: Who are you?
Board: S-A-T-

We stopped it, afraid it would be Satan. Foolishly, we tried again.

Me: Who are you?
Board: Y-A-M-A-S-T-E-R.

We said goodbye quickly. But then, tried once more.

Board: A-L-E-X.

Katie: What about him?
Board: F-A-T-H-E-R. W-E-W-A-N-

Scared it was going to say it wanted something or someone, we said goodbye again, finally giving up completely.
