Home Made Ouija Board and the After Effects

I own my own Ouija board and I took it over to my best friend's, Nikki, Kirstee, Rebekka, Trish, Jason, Harry and Lachlan, house because after our first attempt, Rebekka was difficult to convince it worked, even though when we did it for the first time the Earth candle blew out. My good friend, Mandy, who owns and occult shop explained that that was because Rebekka was off with the Fairies that night, instead of focusing.

Well, we set the table up, with the elemental candles in the correct spots and began speaking with a woman. But when we asked her where she was from she started counting down. Moving from '9' all the way down to '0'. When it hit '0' Kirstee's baby, Lachlan began crying. Kirstee was a little freaked out and requested that her twin, Nikki, go with her into the bedroom because she didn't want something to kill her, or whatnot. She settled down Lachlan and came back out, the Ouija board was unattended too as we grew bored and the board only worked with her. (Which I know, do not leave an Ouija board without closing, but this ghost had been different from some of the others, no one had counted down before.)

Well Kirstee was the first one to touch the shot glass and as her forefinger touched it, the glass spun around the Ouija board, making Kirstee swear loudly. As soon as we touched the glass it stopped, and Kirstee, clearly freaked out, didn't touch it again, so we said goodbye and closed the 'door'. But that night continued to get creepy. The house is usually shut up and they never have windows open or anything, but the rooms we occupied suddenly got cold and we felt as if something was breathing down our necks.

When I stay over I usually share the bed with Nikki because we're as close as sisters and I could still feel as if someone was in the room, watching us. Nikki could feel it too, and Nik, is a wuss, so basically she was hiding under the covers. I saw something contort in the corner of my eye and I sat up to see what it was. This dark mass was forming in the corner of the room closest to the bed. Truly freaked out at this time I called out for Jason, Kirstee's boyfriend, and the black mass thing seemed to twist towards me and began to kind of slither over towards me but it dissipated when the door opened. Jason cautiously came into the room, saw my face and asked what had happened. I guess my face looked unnaturally white (I'm very pale to begin with) and scared out of my wits. I tried to explain what I saw but it came out as distorted as the dark thing, that I'm going to call a shadow.

Since then, I have seen it once, when I was going to the bathroom. It just continued to twist and knot itself and didn't seem aware that I was there. When I walked back out of the bathroom I haven't seen it since. I still use my Ouija board, but I make sure to burn White Sage incense because it helps to purify the space and make sure to say good bye properly.
