I Don't Think the Spirits Like Me

My name is Caroline and I am 15 years old. My experience happened to me last summer. I live with my family in a trailer park. We live in one of the nicer, double wide trailers. I have lived here all my life. Me and my younger brother, David, are really into ghost stories and the spirit world and we have been since we were really little.

Well David and I were walking around with some of the trailer park kids. We used to call them the Trailer Park Nasties because they never bathed. Since all the kids were younger [Most of them between 6 and 10] it was always fun to go sit In the shade and tell them scary stories and scare the crap out of them. When one of us older kids brought up the subject of the Ouija Board, the younger kids looked at me like I was crazy. They had no clue what a Ouija Board was! So I had to explain what it was to them.

After my explanation, one of the boys, Cody, asked if I had one. I shook my head and they all looked pretty disappointed. So I decided we could just make one for ourselves. My younger brother was completely against the idea so he went home, angry as all Hell.

So after making our makeshift, ghetto Ouija Board, Cody, another kid named Dillon, and myself went into my shed and lit some candles and put our hands on the plastic cup that was our replacement for a planchette. I asked if anyone was there, the cup slip to yes. Cody then yelled at me, saying that I was moving it, so after a good long argument, they made me take my hand off of the cup. I asked who was there, the cup slid to the letters A-N-T-H-O-N-Y. I asked Anthony what had happened to him, he spelled out "Shot". Now Cody and Dillon were scared pretty bad and said that somehow I was tricking them.

We played for a while until finally I think we made the spirits angry. I had asked If they believed in God. Of course I do not believe in God. The makeshift Ouija Board began to shake and the cup flew across the shed. Cody and Dillon freaked out and went home. I thought I was pretty cool so I picked up my Ouija Board and went in my house for some food.

Later that night after I had gone to bed, I was just dosing off when I heard a boom come from under my bed. I laid there quietly, waiting for something to happen. All of a sudden my bed started to shake. I felt a scream coming but I just couldn't get it out. The bed shaking came to a sudden stop. And I hoped it was all over. But it wasn't.

I lay in bed for about ten minutes before a perfume bottle slammed off of my dresser and broke on the floor, and I knew that it wasn't by accident because if it would have just "fell off" it wouldn't have broken. Something hit me in the face and I passed out.

I woke up the next morning with a huge headache. I walked out into my living room to my parents staring at me with angry looks on their faces. I asked what was wrong and they said they heard loud noises coming from my room all night. They still think it was me to this day.

Every night from then on, I feel like someone is watching me, I wake up with headaches every morning and every once in a while, something will break in my room while I'm sleeping and I will get blamed for It.
