Ok, here's one I heard from someone.  He's a damn good poker face, but
it took some prying to get the full story out of him, so I
half-believe him.  (He was drunk at the time of the telling, that was
part of the prying...)

There's this guy and his friends, university aged.  They're dabbling
with a ouija board and it says some nasty things.  They decide, being
the silly buggers that they are, that they were going to summon the
devil.  Well, they do, and the ouija board starts crawling around on
the floor.  It climbs up a wall making shrieky noises.  And then on to
the ceiling.  The punchline to this story is that they were all so
scared that (to quote the guy) "none of us would leave the room, not
even to go to the bathroom, until morning came."

That's the weirdest one I've heard.

A friend of mine named Alan used a ouija board with his parents.  They
talked to a "helpful" spirit who suggested they do a few things.  One
of these included taking a specific plane when going on some business
trip.  For some reason or another, they decided not to take this
plane.  It crashed.  The spirit suggested some other things they
SHOULD do, all which turned out to be harmful.  They threw their ouija
board away.

While using a ouija board late at night, we spoke to a chinese woman
who supposedly died in the bejing massacre.  She said she wanted me to
sleep with a certain girl I knew so that she (the spirit said her name
was Lehi) could come back, reincarnated.  She said she wanted this so
she could fight for the cause in china.  Someone there started
questioning her about the matter, and she changed her mind and said
that Michael, the questioner, should sleep with this young girl named
Tracey.  Lehi babbled a bit, and then eventually said "Oh wait, it
doesn't matter, Tracey's dead".  

          Needless to say, we were a bit creeped out.  As we left
Michael's home, we all wondered if he was going to call Tracey to see
if she was ok.  (She was by the by...)

Later, talking to Lehi, she said she was sorry, and said she'd never
talk about death of any kind again.  She "introduced us" to a wizard
named Bardello Horlogian.  He claimed to be a wizard from Spain who
lived to the age of 104 (?) and was killed by burning, for being a
witch/wizard whatever.  He was the most informative (if you can call
what he said "information") by far.  He tried to teach us various
"mantras" saying it wasn't so much what the words were, but what we
thought the words would do.  I can't remember any of them, but we had
5 at one point, all written down.  They were supposed to cause various
states of mind.

Before speaking to Lehi, we spoke to someone who told myself and a
friend of mine at what ages we were supposed to die.  For me, it was
49.  For my friend, it was 21.  He was a little spooked, but it
eventually became a sick joke:  ROB'S DEATH WATCH.  How many days left
rob?  (The date of his 22nd birthday was considered the final possible
day) Rob is now 22 years and 4months old, so so much for that, I
guess.

There was a point when we were talking to Lehi, and a demon showed up
and started blathering at us.  He was acting as a sort of
interference.  I forget the name he used, (but it turned out to be a
name of a demon like character in a D&D type computer game I was
playing.  I hadn't noticed this, but a friend pointed it out to me.
Make of that what you will....).

The demon was extremely easy to get rid of.  All I had to do was
concentrate and he was gone.  It was very strange.  I could FEEL when
it was an "evil" thing, and I could just think, and he'd be gone.
After a while, the demon was very much a side effect and we ignored
him.

Then one day, this "person" came on, saying his (their?) name was some
number...  (like 55474 or something)  It said that the demon wasn't
going to be bothering us any more, and that we didn't have to worry
about him.  Great, we thought.  So the demon goes away, but...  about
10 minuted later, a new interference demon shows up, and I couldn't
get rid of him just by thinking him away.  Extremely annoyed, we
stopped using the ouija board for a while.

My friend's mom then came across this "ritual" for purifying a room or
something like that.  It involved lighting a white candle, then a
black candle (to strike a balance) then putting out the black candle
and lighting another white one.  (This to get a good balance.)  We
tried this and it got rid of the demon quite easily.  We had no
problems after that whenever we did the candle ritual.

My friend's brother Phil was an idiot.  He wanted to deliberately
summon evil things to see what would happen.  Using a ouija board with
his girlfriend Crysta, they went about trying to call on demon's and
vampires.  One such demon told Phil that he was a "vampire" in a past
life.  This pleased Phil to no end.

          When we asked Bardello about vampires, he told us that they
were just twisted, shallow humans.  This seemed to suit Phil quite
nicely.

          One night, Phil was apparently talking to a demon or
something like that, and it asked if it could posess one of them.  So
Phil says "Sure, posess Crysta".  Crysta went all numb and weird.  She
walked about in a daze for a while, and later had difficulty
remembering what happened.  (That's all I heard on the matter...)
Later, Phil and Crysta broke up, and I remember at the time, thinking
if Crysta broke up with Phil because of the ouija board stuff.

All the time, we would get lost spirits showing up, who didn't think
they were dead.  They'd say hello, talk a bit, and then we'd ask them
where they were, or how it was they were talking to us, etc.  and
they'd get angry and confused and say they weren't sure.  They were
completely convinced they were alive.  Eventually we'd fall into the
white light spiel.  Happened a lot, to the point where it got
annoying.  Oh no, another lost goddam spirit.  You wanna do this one
rob?  And we'd say "Do you see a light?" and they'd say "Yes" and we'd
say "Go towards the light" and they'd say "I'm scared" and we'd say
"Don't be" etc etc etc....  Then they'd go in and that was that.

Some of the things we spoke to:

A Horror-Muse:  he said he was a muse for horror novels and that he'd
inspire people for such stories.  Etc.

A dryad:  Some sort of tree spirit.  What she actually did we weren't
sure, but she said she was extremely busy and didn't have much time to
talk.

trees:  Yes, we "spoke" to trees.  By far the slowest of the ouija
board users, they'd take a long time to say anything.  And they didn't
have much to say.

Maybe more will come to me later...

We never encountered ANYTHING that proved what was going on was real.
It was always a semi-wishy-washy half-baked experience, but it was
interesting enough to do for a while.  At the time we took it pretty
seriously, but now looking back, they were interesting experiences,
but I'm not sure where they came from.  As I said in my first post,
one occultist said that using a ouija board without rituals was like
opening up all the doors and windows in your house and waiting to see
who shows up.   I was also told by someone who worked in an occult
shop that there were many easier ways to speak to the dead.  She never
said what they were, and I never asked.  (Although I am curious...)

I didn't intend to post something this long.  Hope you all managed to
read it.  tried to break it up into digestible chunks.  Hope you
enjoyed it.  I made  none of it up: "it happened" as I said it.
Whether it means anything.....
