have you ever used a ouija board? (39)

Christmas1: We were playing with the Ouija board. We as in , my best friend, my cousin, my next door neighbour and of course myself. It was close to 12 midnight on a fall evening. The wind was so tense that the windows rattled. When the branches of trees moved back and forth leaves were blown into the glass.
We sat in a circle on the floor. We asked the usual questions. "Who am I going to marry?" Our fingers slowly moved. We laughed..."You are pushing it". "No, I am not"...we giggled.
At the stroke of midnight a large clap of thunder and a flash of lightening struck. We all jumped and screamed. Our hearts were racing...we sighed and laughed. Whew! OH for gods sake...just a storm coming. At that very moment the centre piece flew off the board and hit the wall behind me. Across from me sat my cousin and behind her stood in complete black a shadowy figure of which I could not determine whether male or female. I raised my hand and pointed to the figure. I was unable to speak. My cousin looked at me with a frightened look. I could only keep pointing.
She finally turned her head to look behind herself. At that moment I could hear a moan and a smell heavy perfume. We were all stone still, unable to move...as the dark figure dissolved into nothingness.
