Thread: Ouija & Talking to Spirits

Eldrithe Whisperwind said I have honestly never thought about doing research about her. I should do it, but I'm not even sure where I should start looking. All I remember is that she died from some incurable sickness. Her grave marker is nestled in a crop of trees that's on our neighbors property and they have an old fence that surrounds their property. I remember having to walk down our long lane to get on the school buss and every time we passed the grave I always looked at the grave, I sometimes even waved. The grave is pretty much illegible now because it was all weathered away so I don't even know her name and it's the only grave there. I'm honestly not sure why she couldn't cross the fence line, I just assumed it was because she was buried on a different property. But, when I was about 8 or so, I was sitting in the living room with my dad watching tv late at night when there was a knock at the door and when my dad answered it nobody was there. He assumed that it was a prank, but there is no way someone could get away that fast without us hearing the running steps on the big old creaking wooden porch. Oddly enough after my great aunt passed away, I think I was 18 or 19, one of my aunts found her diary and she had talked about how the little girl was the one that knocked on the door when I was little and how she ran away because she was afraid of my dad. My great aunt was also visited by that same girl while she was dying and the little girl couldn't understand why I was growing up and she wasn't. If any of that is true, I don't know.

Still, that's pretty cool, even though you don't remember a lot of what they remember about it. darkangel76 said I'll be honest and say that it's my own experiences with things such as this that have me sort of in the odd state of belief system that I hold. On one hand, I've had strange paranormal experiences--whether they can be explained away by science or something mundane, I've no idea...but being the sort I am, I tend to wonder in the back of my mind...always. And then on the other hand, I AM that researcher who looks for scientific explanations, who likes to have proof set before me before I'll take anything to be facts or truths. As such, I cannot explain what I've been through and as such it leaves a door open for me and thus I'll always question. Anyway, I've had a handful of experiences though none with anything like a Ouija board. It's all been via my own visuals. Like, I can go somewhere and just feelsee things and I have no idea why this is. Sometimes I think it's just that my brain is wrong and I'm hallucinating or fabricating it. Other times, I honestly do not know. One time was really eerie because I was at a friends apartment, which was pretty old and also supposedly restored--though I did not know this until later on. Anyway, I was at her house and suddenly I got this weird visual of a raven or crow or something flying through the window. It looked like a spirit of some kind and it landed right on her coffee table. It looked at all of us, but only I could see it. I got the chills and felt very frightened, my lungs then constricted like it was hard to breathe and I got the feeling of death. When the thing flew away, cawwing and such, I looked at my friend and immediately asked her who died in the apartment. Her face blanched and she told me about how there was a fire and how a bunch of people died, but that the building was restored from the fire. I had another incident where I worked in a hospital doing research on respiratory viruses. After working there for a bit, I had moments where when I'd walk away from my bench top or leave the room, my stuff would get rearranged upon return. Nothing too nutty, just enough. After this happened a few times, I started noticing this face outside my lab window--mind you, I worked totally alone in my lab, though my floor had other people working on it. Anyway, when I acknowledged the face--what appeared to be that of a young boy--I told him to come in. Well, the next time, he did, though he just stood at a distance. But each time I went away to do something else, he'd leave and my things would be rearranged. I finally asked, when I noticed him again, if he was doing it. He gave me a smile and nodded 'yes'. After that, he only came back a few more times. One time I even saw him running up the hallway, though no one but me saw him. I finally asked the people in the hospital about him and they mentioned that there had been past sightings of this very boy and that however many years back the floor my lab had been on had also been the floor that the kids with terminal illnesses were housed in before it became a research floor. These are just a couple experiences I've had....I've had several others over the years of my life as well. And each contribute to why I sort of leave the door open to evolving my belief system. Click to expand... That is wicked cool and also creepy, dark! . Particularly the crow flying in like that and no one else seeing it. I'd be freaked out period just because crows are kinda large birds and it'd be weird to have one inside. Did you have a sort of feeling that it wasn't a real crow or was it? Agreed. There could be plenty of explanations but still there's just those little things... those feelings in your gut that makes it not so easy to dismiss. I'm going to be trying the next few times a couple experiments and see what happens after last night Few spelled my name out on the board right at the beginning and told me he was watching me. Maybe we'll try a session without one of the peoplelike maybe Hannah or Bret and see what happens. If we take out everyone at one time or another and the sessions remain the same communicative, then I can know for certain that it is not one of them moving it. Trygon said Ghosts are... Weird. Okay, let me set up some background. One of my fragments is named Trygon, as some of you know. What probably none of you here have been told is that he tells me he's fully capable of catching and consuming errant spirits and other 'ether creatures', as he calls them. I... Don't know if I believe him, honestly. But I can tell he believes himself. This association he has of 'ghostsfood' makes horror movies difficult. I salivate. Heavily. Being me is kinda strange sometimes. I believe in the ether creatures, though. Things that exist in a part of reality only loosely connected to ours. Trygon tells me that other worlds may have a stronger connection to the ether - That ours is weak enough to be useless, but not quite nonexistent. I don't know if they're actually ghosts, as in, something left behind by a life, or if they're just some sort of... Spiritual darkroom, transmitting spikes of emotion onto the very reality of the world, as if it was photopaper. We won't know any more then this in my lifetime, though. Of that I'm sure. Assuming there even is more to know. Click to expand... That is some pretty fascinating stuff, Try and I hope I don't offend you by saying that. If there's any more you'd like to share, I'd like to hear about it. I think I feel that way too that's why I really hesitate to call them ghosts as it kind of makes it seem like they're dead, which I don't think they have ever been alive. At least not on this plane. My brother David sat in our session last night and he brought up time travelers as an explanation for ghostshadow people sightings. Has anyone ever seen any shadow people? This past year while suffering from depression and drinking most of the time, I saw a lot of moving shadows and what looked like people out of the corner of my eyes while being home alone. Curious about my experiences, I did some research and found I was not alone in encountering these entities.
