So last October, My boyfriend bought a Ouija Board for halloween off amazon, We tried it the night it came In the attic, the basement, and my bedroom. Nothing happened so we just put it back in the box and it sat in my closet till a few months ago.

My best friend was staying overnight as there was a really bad storm and she lived in a trailer so she came over just to be safe. We did nothing for the first good portion of the night. Around 3 am we all had the idea to try the ouija board again, especially because I thought it was just a stupid game and was very skeptical about the paranormal. BUT this time we lit candles and all sat on the floor in the complete dark, the only source of light being from the candles.

We all spun the planchette three times and collectively said “Hello Ouija”. We then asked if there was any spirits that would like to communicate with us, the planchette rather quickly moved to yes. We asked the basic questions about the spirit like what was its name, how old is it, and if it’s a good or bad spirit. when we asked for its name it went to “Q” and then multiple numbers(I don’t remember the exact numbers)… weird but okay. We asked the same few questions multiple times and no answer was really consistent…Also weird but whatever…

We asked questions for what had to be at least two hours as me and my friend found it insane that a spirit can communicate through a piece of wood. (Btw none of us are the type to mess with each other by moving the planchette and we even took turns putting one hand behind our backs and asking what number we were holding up, the spirit giving the right answer everytime, and asking it personal questions the others wouldnt know about.)

At one point we asked the spirit to prove itself just to be 100% sure none of us were messing with each other, like touching us, moving an object in the room, anything really… a few seconds later we all hear a faint yell that sounded like it was downstairs/on the stairs, nobody was downstairs as everyones rooms are upstairs and it was super late. This is when we 100% knew we were communicating with an actual spirit.

My bestfriend asked something along the lines of if she was going to have kids or not. The board then went back and forth between “M” and “A” spelling out the word mama repeatedly. Now I dont remember the last question that was asked but on the last question right before we ended the session it kept going to “Z” and “O” over and over spelling Zozo. My boyfriend then abruptly told us we need to say goodbye, and we did.

After we ended the session my boyfriend looked somewhat shaken up. After multiple times of me asking what that was about and what was wrong, he then told us about his experience he had with the ouija board when he was around 12. When he would play there was a spirit who called itself zozo, it would pretend to be a good spirit, or impersonate other spirits, Zozo feeds off of peoples fears which explains answers I was getting about my father passing, I had asked if my father was gonna be able to walk me down the isle and it quickly went to No. I ended up doing plenty of researching after he told me that and got pretty creeped out as I believe we contacted something very evil and dark, a spirit not to be messed with… I also learned in my research that zozo also refers to itself as mama, going back to the question my bestfriend asked and the planchette moving to “M” “A” repeatedly.

The next few days for me were filled with unusual anger, and just negative emotions in general, the day after we played my boyfriend got fired from his previous job, (which idk if that correlates to the ouija board or not). we decided to throw it away near an abandoned building in the field right by it. A week or two later we went back for whatever reason, and it was gone. I went from being skeptical about even the existence of spirits, and thinking the Ouija Board was a joke, to being scared of the dark for weeks, and being fully convinced there is otherworldly things walking amongst us, that we just cant always see. I’d love to hear if anyone else has had any similar experiences with the board and what that was like…I just know I’ll never touch one of those things again.
