Amanda, Beth, and Karen



On May 2, 2003 Amanda and I drove down to my parents' house to have an Ouija session at my grandma's old house. My mom agreed to try the Ouija board with us, and my dad and sister watched. I had the digital recorder with me again so I was able to record our exact questions and the answers. Here's what the board told us:

Beth: Are there any spirits in the room with us?
Board: Yes

Beth: Who's here?
Board: Estella (Estella is my grandma, we were in her old house!)

Karen: Are you happy?
Board: Yes, dammit
