Do you now or have you ever conducted a seance or used a witch board?

Do you now or have you ever conducted a seance or used a witch or Ouija board?

I've done it in the far past.  I will not do it now nor do I allow it in the home.  You could open doors you don't know how to close.  Once opened, anything can come through.  Or so I believe.  For what it's worth, the former owners of our home built an altar into the stonework on the fireplace.  I don't know why but have strong suspicions.  I'll try to get a picture of it and post it.  We have it covered with a picture.  When it was uncovered, the activity was high.  Once we covered it, things settled down somewhat.  It appears to be a Christian altar but I'm not really sure.  I really don't like messing with it.

Once upon a time, I was I young and adventurous teenage girl. I have always felt a connection to the other side, and yes I used a ouija board.  My friends and I would sit in a small field and attempt to contact others from the beyond.  Now I'm older and will not have anything to do with those kinds of things, I still find that I am still sensitive with my surroundings.  Have you seen the movie "Stir Of Echoes" with Kevin Bacon? His son in the movie, talks to what his parents think is an imaginary friend.  I had an "imaginary" friend when I was 3. Only he was just as "real" as you and me.  He has since moved on, or maybe he stayed in the house we lived in so many years ago.  I now live in an apartment building/ house, where my best-friend says he knew an older woman who lived here. She since has passed on, but he still feels her presence when he comes over. So do I and I never met her. Her name was Flo. She was from Kentucky, a short, robust woman always welcoming people. She is always here.  Though I cannot see her, I can feel her. I can sense what she wants to say, mind you, I cannot hear her but feel the words she wants to much to convey.   Again, I do not go looking for ouija boards and ways of contacting the other side. I have been fortunate enough not to have any "bad" experiences regarding the spirit world, though I do have plenty of ghosts that haunt me from my own past.

I am with you on that.  I am sure I will open a can of worms that I had no intention of opening.  (Thats kind of my luck as of late)  Did know a couple of sisters back in high school that began to practice witch craft and use ouija boards and the likes.  The 2 sisters kept getting weirder and weirder, and out of nowhere they snapped back out of it.  

I mean their clothing styles changed, their opinions on everything changed, they pulled back from their friends.....and then all of a sudden all of that quit.  Dont know what they stumbled upon, but it must have scared the bejesus out of them.

hahah not my mom, my granmom ......lol  nuts more like it, bohemians they were known as ....yup I agree not something I want to mess with ....

Sounds like your mum was a very interesting person.  I probably wouldn't agree with her politics but a fascinating life nonetheless.  

I've cautioned my children strongly against fooling around with it.  After seeing and feeling the things around the house, they believe me.  Never open a door if you don't know how to close it.  Very very dangerous.
