The following is a true story. Luckily I didn’t experience it alone or I may’ve thought I was crazy:

I’d started researching about the Ouija board, and casually mentioned it to my sister. To my surprise, she was very interested in trying it out as well.

So, where to buy one except Toys R Us. (RIP) Just a toy, right?

We buy it, and take it directly to the lake pavilion near our home. (Dandridge/TN if you’re curious, it’s called Douglas Lake and at a dam.)

We lived together: I was 26 and she 24. (I was married without kids and my husband resided as well; this was a bit over a decade ago.)

I picked a place in nature because it allegedly makes it safer, and I knew my husband would kill me if I brought it in the house, although he isn’t religious in the least.

After exiting the car at the pavilion, my car unlocked itself. I locked it, and after two feet, it locked itself again. I had placed the keys on the hood after locking it to get the supplies, so maybe there’s an explanation. It never did it before or after, so it was pretty creepy.

It was dark on the lake next to the forest, and I was ready to bail. I believe it was summertime. There was rustling in the trees, and I had a bad feeling. (It had to be some animal, but it was still really making me feel uneasy.)

I’m generally never “spooked.”

My sister encouraged me; she was determined.

We had silver on the board, said a prayer, and burned sage. (I’m paranoid, so I took every precaution that I read about.)

We asked with our fingers on the indicator, “Are there any kind spirits that would like to communicate with us.”

We did some circles, and nothing happened. We repeated the process for what seemed like forever. I was ready to give up, but finally it moved very steadily to yes. My sister and I looked at each other… we both knew we didn’t move it there. I know about the ideomotor effect, this wasn’t it.

I’ll explain why later.

Holy cow! It was actually working. I can’t remember if it was her or I, but one of us asked its name.

(Apparently this is something you shouldn’t do because saying an entities’ name gives it power allegedly. I’ve heard conflicting accounts on this.)

The indicator started moving as we said each letter aloud together. I have no idea what it spelled out, it was moving faster by every second, but we both started trying to guess the name as it moved.

That’s when my sister was the scared one. It spelled, “F” then “U,” and she was the one ready to leave.

I said, “We close the gates,” we moved it to “goodbye,” packed it up and left.

I was confused at why she was suddenly the one freaking out when I was creeped before we even started, but I felt fine when she asked to stop. She told me it was cussing at her.

Well, whatever, we drive back home, don’t mention it to my husband and leave the dang thing in the trunk. (I read not to use it at your house, nature is safer, so I thought I was being careful.)

That night I had a very lucid dream where I sat up screaming, but couldn’t scream “In real life.” I was trying to wake my husband, but I get grabbed by an entity and it pulls me from the bed and through my dresser before I wake up. From what I remember, it was like a black blur, but it definitely felt demonic. (Which I don’t believe in demons.)

The room was bright with the morning sun and everything was completely vivid.

My husband wakes up too, and I confess about the Ouija board since he’s asking me what’s wrong.

He was mad, but still half-asleep and rolls back over.

It isn’t unusual for me to have very lucid dreams, but I very rarely have “nightmares.”

I shrugged it off, it was morning so I headed to the other end of the house to my sister’s room. I was still a little more shaken that I’d prefer to admit and I told her what I dreamt. She said she dreamt the exact same thing. Wow! We didn’t even bring the dang thing in the house. It has to be a coincidence, right?

This is when weird gets too weird… We’re in the kitchen doing regular morning stuff and I notice a maggot on the floor. My house was always really clean, and I hadn’t noticed any flies.

I get the broom and sweep it up, my sister right beside me. No sooner than I turn, another appears, and another.

And another, I didn’t count. I just tried to laugh it off with my sister; we were both freaked but trying to keep a cool face.

I kept telling myself there was some logical explanation. I’m honestly so glad my sister was there and saw it too or I may of thought I was crazy. For the record, we’d done no medications of any kind, 100 % sober the night before and in the morning. This can’t be the “ideomotor effect,” maggots are appearing.

We just ignored it as much as possible. There were a couple of other small things that happened the next couple of days, like dishes falling and just unsettling feelings, but after that, nothing.

I’ve not had any issues since and we took the “game” back to Toys R Us. In retrospect, I hope that whatever was attached to it didn’t survive the hour drive to Knoxville… I mean if they sold it again after something attached to it, dang would I feel bad.

I’ve read up and there’s not logical explanation on random maggots appearing. I checked the trash, the dirty laundry, under the sink, ect. They literally appeared out of thin air on my clean linoleum flooring.

I tried to tell myself that maybe the flies that weren’t in the house laid eggs on the floor that just happened to hatch within a few seconds of each other.

I’m glad I can finally talk about it. I think after 10 years I finally feel “safe” acknowledging “it.”

I honestly believe if my sister and I had freaked out, I think things would have escalated. I think negative entities can feed, and we bored it so it left.

I’ve also wondered why I didn’t record any of it… I had a camera, but I think either it would have granted whatever it was power, or people wouldn’t have believed me anyway since people love to make fake videos of the supernatural.

I’m happy to say whatever it was has left me alone since. The annoying thing is: I don’t even believe in demons or “evil,” I do believe in negative souls I guess, but nothing pure evil. I’m a very positive person, so this was pretty crazy, surprising, and confusing for me, but my sister as my witness, it happened.

Be careful! ❤️

I had a really bad experience with one around 15 years ago… I haven’t touched one since.

You’re not supposed to use it alone; there are certain rules.

I had a terrible supernatural experience. Unfortunately, rarely do you get to talk to nice spirits/loved ones.

Bad spirits tend to be the ones, and sometimes they even pretend to be someone else.
