The Ouija Board Encounter, Who Is That Man?

[00:00:02] Welcome to Tell Me A Ghost Story, The Late Night Colin Podcast where we delve into the world of the supernatural and explore the eerie and unexplained. I'm your host Michelle Newman. This podcast features true stories from our callers that will send shivers down your spine

[00:00:34] and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife. So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights. Hi, Michelle. My name is Umar and I'm from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. My experience is with an Ouija board when I was in sixth grade.

[00:01:00] So my friends and I went to get a sleepover, like the most cliche story ever. We made an homemade Ouija board. We did it for 30 to 40 minutes without anything happening. We made our own Ouija board. We cleansed our own stuff. Nothing was happening.

[00:01:18] So we did everything we weren't supposed to do. Ask questions about when we're going to die. Ask questions about, you know, like can something take 10 hours? When it comes to before, like I get deeper into the conversation. My friends and I completely blocked off ducks.

[00:01:40] We put a lot of candles so there was no way that air movement could happen when we were doing this unless someone would come through the door if we were doing it in the basement. So one way in, one way out.

[00:01:54] When we were doing stuff we asked for it, we asked the board to do something. And every time we asked it to, for something to show it so, a candle, mind you, just a regular candle from Dollar Tree was flickering.

[00:02:08] So maybe a coincidence, maybe not, but with every question we asked for something to show it self that would happen. So we would mock the board. We would say like nothing's going on until we asked like the ghost or the entity whatever

[00:02:27] was coming through to tell us something scary. It popped out, ass. Killed woman. And we were like, we were all like, oh, so what is that? After we asked it how, like we asked how did it feel to do that if it's true?

[00:02:51] After we asked that question, all the candles that we had lit around us turned off. And we were crying, we were freaking out. So we turned on the light and then when we turned on the light, my friends and I, it was

[00:03:07] like a finished basement in the corner above our fireplace that was not turned on. I promise you that there was like a figure of a shadow man holding something above his head. Like it wasn't super clear, but it was dark enough to know that something will hold

[00:03:28] in something above its head. And my friends and I completely freaked out. We turned on the TV, we put on the radio and we all fell asleep in the corner. I told my mom, my mom's a very religious Catholic woman.

[00:03:48] And when I told her that that happened, my mom was very upset because she's a very religious Catholic woman. And that was one thing she stated that she wished I would never do.

[00:04:00] So after my mother had like to talk with us, like me and my friends, so just two of my other friends, like how that's wrong and how we need to be careful. My friends and I obviously felt bad. And we were still scared about what we saw.

[00:04:13] I never told my mother about what I saw, but she was very upset that we did all of that. Mind you, we made her, we board with like cardboard and we wrote it out ourselves and we used a little glass, wine glass for the pentacle.

[00:04:28] I think that's how you call it. So after my mom had to talk with us the morning, after making us breakfast, my friends and I got really scared. So we ripped up the board and I lived in a community where they have like a lake

[00:04:39] running through the community. So we threw it and like we threw the EG board after we ripped it up in the dam after we were done eating breakfast. So we were fine with that. We, you know, we went, it was regular school day, Monday or Tuesday.

[00:04:57] So this was on the weekends for my friends went home on a Sunday. Monday or Tuesday, I go back down to the dam just to see like if they would do because it was made out of cardboard was like gone.

[00:05:09] But when I, there was like picnic tables on the side of like the dam that we were at, the EG board was put back together. That really scared me whether it was a prank or not. But we threw like a rock on it.

[00:05:22] We like threw it away in pieces and it got back and a full piece. Like they like a puzzle piece. So I told my friends that and both my friends said that they like had throughout

[00:05:35] the week after I told them that they kept coming to me telling me like they kept having nightmares. It wasn't about anything specific, but they were like getting sorry when they would go to sleep and stuff.

[00:05:46] So my mom told my uncle and my uncle, you know, cleanse the whole house. So that's honestly it with the Eweegee story, but growing up. I didn't have anything like I was probably like what 14 or 15

[00:06:03] might be wrong about my age, but like growing up, I still live with my mom until I was like 25 and I got pregnant. And my mom says that is that whenever I would like fall asleep in the living room

[00:06:14] or when she would come in and see me that she would always be like a shadow follow me, especially when I was pregnant. I've never seen it before when my mom could say like, you know, it would scare her and she would cleanse me and all that stuff.

[00:06:33] Thank you for your story, Amari. I still remember when my friend brought a Eweegee board on our group vacation a few years ago. She thought I was going to be into it because I'm into the paranormal. I, on the other hand, insisted we do a jigsaw puzzle instead.

[00:06:51] Next message. This is Leah calling in from California. My ghost story happened maybe six years ago or so in my same apartment where I live now. My apartment's not that old, so it didn't feel like nothing about it made sense to me. I was in my bedroom.

[00:07:16] I was asleep all of a sudden. I think around three or four in the morning I woke up. I was completely wide awake. Wasn't sure why I looked up and in my bedroom, my bed and my desk chair and desk are relatively close to each other.

[00:07:34] And I felt like I saw a man sitting in my chair. He was not from this time period. He had a suit on. I feel like it was Victorian, but it could be Edwardian. And I closed my eyes. I was like, nope, please no. I'm all good.

[00:07:59] Opened my eyes again. He was still there. And then I reached my hand up and like wafted it and I saw him like disintegrate into the air. It felt like I could see my fingers in front of my face going back and forth. And it felt like

[00:08:30] he became like Adams and then they all just became part of the room and disappeared. So sort of like dust going back and back and forward. And then I turned out my light. He was no longer there.

[00:08:44] I turned off my light and my heart was pounding and just tried to go back to sleep and eventually I did. Thank you, Leah. Sometimes a ghost is connected to the land instead of the building. Other times that ghost could be connected to you.

[00:09:03] Take a peek at your family photo albums next time you're home and report back. He might be some long lost ancestor popping in to say hello. That's all we have this week, folks. Do you have a ghost story? Call 701-484-2666. That's 701-484-2666.
