Encounters x346 - Why Not to Use a Ouija Board

We always tell you not to play with Ouija boards... and then you send us stories that make us want to ignore our own advice. We're reading some of the wildest spirit board encounters in our inbox, featuring familial hauntings, lingering entities, terrifying mimics, and enough "absolutely not" moments to make you swear off the planchette forever. Stories include: A Halloween Ouija session takes a terrifying turn when a notorious entity answers through the board and seems strangely connected to one participant. A childhood game with a Ouija board hidden in a church attic leads to a decades-long, inter-generational haunting by a mysterious entity known as Abigail. Sleep paralysis, a creature with rotting breath, and a figure hiding beneath the bed all begin shortly after a teenage Ouija session. A sleepover experiment unleashes unexplained illness, disturbing dreams, a protective grandfather spirit, and a Ouija board that mysteriously reappears after being destroyed.
