What is Your views on Ouija boards?

Hi All,

I find this subject interesting, many believe in them, while others stay well away from them.

Firstly, I am not a person that believes in them, or Spirits, etc or even Heaven or Hell. But thats me, everyone has their own beliefs which I respect. But I have seen many things that I cannot explain, and when people say it was probably you dreaming or on your mind, they are shocked, when it was not just me that seen the same things at the same time.

We have a Ouija board in our house, which my wife uses on occassions - me well, I'd rather watch TV and have a coffee. We have 3 animals, 2 cats and a small dog. Now, our dog started barking at one corner of the lounge, I thought no more about it until my wife said she put the Ouija board behind a unit in that corner.

The reason I do not believe in them is because they are so dramatised on TV and the media. There have been a number of things that have happened which not even I cannot explain - co-incidence's unlikely, medical hallucinations from tablets (could be, but at the time I was not on high doses of any drug, that would cause such things!) - was I alone when these things happened, "No!"... which makes me wonder whar else could have caused these things to happen in the first place.

My wife has always said she can sense or see things before or during when they happen. She has sensed death on numerous occassions, and said what happened and when. One day, we were at a wake of my father-in-laws brother, he was one of nine brothers. Anyway, about 30 minutes passed and one of her dads side of the family came across the room, introduced himself then said to my wife "You can see things too!" and stroked her hand, she felt goose-pimples go through her body from where he touched her.

Now, the Ouija board I bought about 5 years ago - way after any of the aforementioned took place, apart from our small dog barking at the corner of the room, that's only recent.

Numerous things have happened over the years, the things I've seen I cannot explain, other things have happened in front of neighbours - whom never returned to the house or us since, and will only speak to us outside in the open. A friend of ours was sat on the sofa one afternoon, back then we had a long-haired German Shepherd he was about 11 years old then. My wife and I were in the kitchen when we heard our friend scream, my wife rushed in to the lounge to see what was wrong - "She said your black cat just rushed in the room and attacked your dog, his nose is bleeding! Look...." - when she looked again our dog had not even moved, and the Black Cat she mentioned had ran through a bricked up fire-place. I said to the neighbour, "We do not have any Black Cats, in fact, we had no cats back then". To this day, she never returned to our house and we moved premises since. We often seen the Black Cat around the house, one thing you could not do was catch it - it either ran through walls or disappeared in bedrooms. What we did not know was what it was trying to tell us. I was skeptackle about asking the previous owner if they had encountered anything that was abnormal in the house - We were told it was a premises that belonged to an old grey-haired woman with many farm-cats in the 1960's, but she had a favorite one that was completely black. They had seen it many times, but never looked in to why it still walked or ran though walls.

At the time we had just one boy, and he slept in the bedroom that faced out to the back garden. One night, he woke both of us up he wanted us to get the old grey-haired woman that was sat at the end of his bed - neither myself or my wife could see anything, our dog was on the landing where he normally slept, and was asleep. A few weeks went by and we did not see the cat and our son never mentioned the woman. One Thursday afternoon, we had just come back from the supermarket and the black cat had returned, and was sat outside the front door - We unlocked the front door and our dog chased the cat upstairs and straight into the back bedroom, where he disappeared! Little did we knew this was an actual clue to something that was going to happen soon.

A few months went by and we moved out, not because of the cat or anything like that, it was because a 3 bedroomed bungalow had come up just a road away, so it was ideal for me being disabled and everything was on just one floor, no stairs! Anyway, we moved out the house and the house was soon occupied by a young woman with a baby. We knew her, and told her what we encountered, and she said thats been going on for years, it was well known by the locals that a woman had died in the house with a black cat in the 1960's. The woman did ask us one strange question though "Why did we start painting a face on the ceiling in the back bedroom?" - neither of us knew what she was refering to. Later that day we day torrential rain, and it continued through the evening, in the thunderstorm the house where we used to live was hit by lightening - the back bedroom the roof collapsed and smashed the bed the woman had in the room. She was lucky, we seen her the following day, and asked her what happened, she said the thunder woke her baby up so she went and put him in bed with her. It turned out then rain over the years had caused a major build up and split a few tiles the rain caused the woodwork to rot and thats why it all collapsed.

I am sure I am not the only one who has seen things that made no sense at all. I have seen the differences between drug related medical hallucinations and non-medical hallucinations, both are entirely different indeed. I have had both, and believe me medical hallucinations are far worse!!!

Regards,

Les.
