GHOSTS, SPIRITS, AND AN OUIJA BOARD




Ouija Board 

 

 

 

My younger cousin Danny frequently reminds me of the time we were in our backyard in San Jose, California, playing with my Ouija Board. There were five of us: Danny, David (brothers), me, my siblings Teresa and Billy. We were sitting on the concrete patio, very serious, trying to conjure up ghosts and spirits. 

 

Danny always insists I was trying to raise our swing set using the Ouija Board. He would imitate me talking to the Ouija Board and laughing at me. He loves to tell this story and how I failed to raise our swing set. At one point, my father sneaks around and jumps at us, scaring us to death. We all must of jumped three feet in the air and screamed! To this day, he makes fun of me for believing in ghosts and spirits, and I remind him of how high he jumped when my dad scared us.
