These events happened in the summer of 1989. I was on leave from military service. The events that follow could they be myself standing up to darkness? Maybe overcoming a dark entity? or maybe put simply, was it myself choosing the right side? In the end you will have to determine.
Visiting Home.
I was just getting off of the Greyhound Bus from San Francisco, California. I have been on an A.L.P.A.T (Alaskan Patrol) for months, and I was really looking forward to seeing the family for the summer. My Father picked me up at the Bus Station and it seemed he was glad to see me. I was looking forward to some home cooked meals, heck anything would have been different from the Ship's menu.
When I got home I hugged My Mother and Brothers and Sister. My brothers asked if we could use the Ouija tonight, I said," Sure." The rest of the day went as you could expect, the telling of what I have learned and how it was like being at sea. My father was Air Force, so he has no knowledge of shipboard life.
That night after dinner My brothers and I were bored so we took out the Ouija and started to play. The usual tone of questions, such as where did I put my wallet, I can not find it happened, and of course the board spelled out the location with accuracy. This lasted a few hours til the gradual decision was made to have some competition on video games like old times took to the front row. We played for a few hours til it was time for bed.
Can't Sleep....
That night I tried to sleep on the couch, but all I could do was to toss and turn. I looked at the clock and it was 1:00 AM. So I thought maybe if I just play around with the board, I would get bored and be able to go to sleep. Now I have heard all the talk about not using this alone, but I did not think anything would happen, after all the entire house was full of people, and My DAD especially, was a hard headed skeptic with no basis for facts, so I felt pretty safe.
So it begins. I place the board on the carpet, I ask questions and after a few minutes, the board started changing. It felt like It was not the same, so I asked, " Who are you?" The Board spelled out B-O-B. I was thinking OK..So I asked what it wants, It spelled out Y-O-U-R-S-O-U-L.
By now I am starting to get irate, so I said, " What the Heck are you?" The Board spelled out A-B-O-U-N-T-Y-H-U-N-T-E-R-F-R-O-M-S-A-T-A-N-G-O-T-O-O-U-T-S-D-E. At this point i said, " Oh Yeah Bring it, Ill wipe the floor with you. So I threw the board on the couch and the planchette went to the other end of the room.
The Challenge..
I walked outside and lit up a cigarette, I used to smoke Cigarettes back then, I said," I am waiting bring it." Nothing. I even went as far as say, " Hey if your so great make that tree branch go right through my head like in the omen." Nothing happened. Then I turned to look at the house and I said," How about en easy one make that chimney fall on me." Looking back, if anyone saw this they might not have truly understood what I was doing, in fact they may have thought something else was wrong. So the wait continued.
The Aftermath....
Sitting on the brick steps quietly looking at the brick wall that separated the street where I lived, from the Freeway. There was no entity. There was nothing, in fact the only thing that could be heard was the cars travelling on the freeway on the other side of the wall. I looked at my watch and saw it was 3:00 am. I stood up, opened the screen door, walked into the living room, and closed and locked the door behind me. I grabbed the OUIJA and the Planchette, and I yelled, " What Happened, did you get stuck in Limbo traffic?" "No let me think you had a spirit car wreck and are waiting for AAA Ghost insurance and a tow truck." But the board, this board would not work anymore for me. In fact this board would never do anything when I touched it again. NOTE, I said this board..But that is a story for another time.
Conclusion..
Was it the full armor of God? Was it my Innocence? Or was it the fact I was not afraid at all? I never could figure this one out, but either way. It gave me a life lesson that I can over come anything as long as my heart and thoughts are one. You decide.
