Don't Be So Bright

"How do I get them to leave me alone?"

     Almost immediately, the planchette responded. It quickly glided around the board's surface, stopping briefly at seemingly random letters. Our recorder noted each one on a notepad. Finally, the planchette came to a rest.

Don't be so bright

     We cast confused glances at each other.

"Don't be so bright? I don't understand."

     The planchette began to move again.

You shine as lights to us

     A chill descended my spine sending goosebumps to every inch of my skin.

"How do I turn my light off?"

     But the planchette didn't move. This session was over. Such is typical when communicating with the spirit realm. They come and go as they please. When they speak, it's often vague and cryptic. The negative ones will try to deceive you.

     But, I knew what this one meant. People who can see, hear, and/or feel spirits appear as bright, shining beacons to the other side. Can this light be turned off? Yes. Well, it can be controlled. Once it gets too bright, I'm not sure it can ever really be turned off completely. I'm not sure I want to anyway.

     This story, while based on actual accounts, is not my story. I only played with an Ouija board once when I was in high school. I don't recommend it, especially as a game. If you choose to use one, I suggest taking it seriously and protecting yourself. When you open up a channel to the spirit realm, you never know what's going to come through. It might be something that decides to stick around. Maybe attach itself to you. Wouldn't that be fun?
