------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Readers:
I'm smiling to myself as I'm preparing this week's issue
because I have a sneaking suspicion that one day, in the
not-too-distant future, my highly skeptical significant
other is gonna crack. Yes, I think he's going to come over
to 'our side'. It's high time too, considering all the
weird things that continually happen around our home. At
present, although we've had some weird happenings here,
and we have both witnessed Mystic the cat chasing unseen
objects, I have never felt that there were any 'resident'
spirits or energies here. Until today, that is.
About a year ago, we found the oddest little object, on
the living room carpet if I remember correctly. It is a
small (less than an inch long), very thin metal rod or pin,
with knobby things at either end, and it looks much like
the little pin that would be found holding a watch strap
together. It really puzzled us but neither one of us could
figure out where it came from and eventually we dropped it
into a junk drawer. Some time later, my s/o was up late one
night snacking and the next morning he presented me with
another little pin. He had found it in the bottom of a bag
of trail mix!
Well, that got me going. I thought, okay, the mystery is
solved, He occasionally buys the same bags of trail mix
so I was certain that's where the first pin had come from
too. We did a bit of searching and found the first pin and
I immediately dug out the empty trail mix bag from the
garbage, looked up the manufacturer and contacted them
about pin. I was appalled at the idea that someone may
accidentally swallow one of those little pins, especially
if a child was munching on the mix. On their instructions,
I taped one of pins to the empty bag and took it back to
the store and filled out a form for the manufacturer to
look into this and I considered this to be pretty much a
case closed.
Many weeks or even months have passed, and yesterday, lo
and behold, something familiar was glistening on the living
room carpet. I picked it up and to my astonishment, it was
yet another pin. After showing it to my s/o, I put it in
the kitchen, very puzzled, because there has been no trail
mix in the house for the longest time so that apparent
source was effectively ruled out. And today, I found
another pin, that is now taped to a piece of paper along
with the other. When I expressed my amazement to my s/o,
and I jokingly said that it's our ghosts at work, he told
me that he'd had a strange experience last night after I
had gone to bed. He was watching TV and heard a large,
sharp bang from the kitchen, and while he'd thought it was
one of the cats initially, he found both of them curled up
nearby the sofa. When he went to investigate in the kitchen
there was nothing out of place. I reminded him that he'd
told me of similar events before, each time unexplainable,
and especially surprising coming from this skeptic! I am
thinking that the last noisy mystery disturbance in the
kitchen was probably around the time we found the previous
pin.

We live in a home that I believe inherently attracts spirit
visitors due to its odd line-up with some hydro towers in
our neighborhood. Now I am wondering if a new group of
ghosties isn't dropping in now and then, making some noise
and leaving us little markers to let us know they've been
here.
I am tempted now to think these little pins are a phenomena
called apports. Wikipedia defines an apport as "the
transference of an article from an unknown source, to you,
or another place by unknown means. The item can be any-
thing, from coins and jewellery from ancient times, to
modern objects such as watches and keys."
Apports are often associated with spiritualist activities
such as séances, as well as with poltergeist activity. If
you have ever had items unexplainably appearing in your
home or environment, or items disappearing only to be
found again somewhere else with no rational explanation of
how it got there, you may have experienced apports. There
have even been cases reported of people actually seeing
objects falling to the floor or even dropping into their
lap from thin air, or seemingly, from a ceiling.
In my old home, I had a beautiful brass bottle opener
disappear after using it at a party, only to find it a
few months later in a box of kitchen linens under the
counter that hadn't been touched (to my knowledge) since
we'd moved in.
A dear friend of mine once had a lovely antique watch
appear in the middle of a bed she had just made, and
another time, she was something appear and drop into her
laundry basket, right before her eyes, from the ceiling
of her laundry room.
Have you ever had any apport experiences? If so, please
share them with me and our readers,

Our Readers Respond with Personal Ouija Experiences
I had an experience with a ouija board some 40 years ago.
At the time I was a young teen, maybe 13 or 14. A friend
of mine and I were using the ouija board and we asked it
when I would die. It said I would die when I was 16. I
asked how I would die and it answered that I would die in
a dream.
That was a surprising answer and I pondered it long.
Obviously, at 51 now, I did not die when I was 16. When
I was 16, however, I did become a born again Christian.
Prior to this, when I was 16 also, I did have an abortion.
There was a death there but not mine. In becoming a
Christian, the Bible talks about it as a "re-birth" with
the "old man" being put to death. Was this the death that
the ouija board spoke of? And what is the significance of
dying in a dream? What does that mean? Does it speak of
the ethereal nature of faith? I have not come up with any
answers on that.
This experience scared me and I don't believe I ever used
the ouija board again.

I have not used the board in many years but it 1972, I was
leaving my husband and asked for the initials of my next
husband, if I was to have one. The initials came up RES and
I did not know anyone with those initials but kept it my
memory just in case.
I moved to another state and within 6 months I met the
person with those initials and married him the next year.
I am still with him.

Dear Zsuzsana,
When I was a young teen, my mom bought me a Ouija board.
My parents were planning a trip to visit my grandparents
in Tennessee. We decided to play with the Ouija board that
night. As we were taking turns asking questions, I felt
prompted to ask it if my parents should leave in the
morning at 10 a.m. as they planned to do. The board
promptly answered "no". When asked why, it spelled out
"accident".vFurther questions led to "accident with a
semi", and "tire blowout on car." At that my father said
this was hooey, that those are brand new tires on the car
and a new tire is not going to blow out like that and then
my father left the room. My mom and I kept playing and
asked the board if there was a way to avoid the accident.
It replied, "yes." So we asked how. The board replied to
leave at a later time, so that's what my parents did; they
left at 10:05 a.m., to the perturbment of my father. Need-
less to say, they were on the highway (and at that time the
highways were 2 lanes, one in each direction, not the big
2 to 4 lanes each way of today). There wasn't much traffic,
which was pleasing to my father since he was driving. Then,
all of a sudden, to my father's amazement a big rig coming
in the opposite direction just passed by and the left front
tire on the car blew out. He lost control of the car and
ended up on the opposite side of the road (the oncoming
side). My mom and I were very shaken and I mentioned to
her, "Boy, was Ouija right or what?" If we would have left
on time like Dad wanted to do, we would be splattered all
over the front of that truck or worse dead, because we could
have hit that passing semi head-on. Ouija saved our lives
by telling us to leave a few minutes later. My dad changed
the tire and got back on the road. We stopped at the next
gas station/restaurant and in the parking lot my dad looked
over the tire real good to see if he could determine why it
blew out. The only thing he could find was that a cord in
the tire separated which caused it to fail. I remember say-
ing to him, "I guess brand new tires can be bad." At any
rate, Ouija saved our lives that day, so whatever makes it
work, whether it be a person's subconscious or a spirit
from beyond, I'm glad we got warned and heeded that
warning.
Sincerely,
Janet

Dear Zsuzsana,
My daughter and her friends unleashed an evil spirit into
our home, that created such havoc in our lives we had to
have a priest come in and bless the house. My daughter and
her friends were playing blindman's bluff in the house. We
had a sofa that sat just a few inches off the floor. Some-
thing reached from under the sofa and grabbed her ankle
and tripped her. When they turned the lights back on, she
had a hand print around her ankle. This thing would turn
gas space heaters on and off. I'm sure it would have been
worse, but we had a good spirit in the house as well who
seemed to temper the evil one. I used to think that ouija
boards were just silly toys but that truly changed my
mind. The house is now longer there by the way. 'Katrina'
saw to that.

Zsuzsana,
I have had two remarkable experiences with my Ouija, and I
have seen others using my board with great 'success'.
I purchased the board in 1990, and we used it at my eighth
grade graduation party. I was busy being the hostess, so
I couldn't participate. I happened to be walking through
the kitchen (where the board was being used), and I noticed
a girl with her hands on the planchette behaving strangely.
She seemed as if she was in a trance; her head was down and
she was swaying side to side. My mother saw this and
quickly went over to her. She placed her hands on the
girl's shoulders and shook her. She 'came to' and did not
know what had just happened. She was slightly feverish as
well.
The second time I had success with the Ouija board was when
I lived in my very first apartment. I had been noticing
weird goings-on (clothing in the hamper that were hung up
when I returned from work, front door open when I had
locked it behind me, soda cans opened when I had left them
unopened, etc.) in my apartment.
One night my friend, my boyfriend, and I decided to use
the Ouija board to see if there truly was a spirit in my
apartment. I did not touch the planchette, only my friend
and boyfriend did; I wrote down the questions and answers
to document our findings.
We started by asking if there were any spirits in the room,
and someone responded unintelligibly. After a few moments,
my friend had deciphered that the language being 'spoken'
was not English but Russian, which happens to be her native
tongue. The person revealed herselfas a three year old
girl who was executed during the Holocaust. When asked how
such a small girl was getting along on the other side, she
responded that she had a caregiver: my friend's deceased
mother, L. They then spoke with Lucia for a while. She
and the little girl were inhabiting my apartment, along
with the spirit of an animal, and the mischievous spirit,
Michael. Michael was the spirit who was playing the tricks
on me, and he was not evil, he just didn't know he was
dead. We also found he was in his late 30's when he died.
After a couple of hours of speaking with L, we ended the
experience.
A few months later, my friend who has very psychic
perceptions came over to analyze the apartment. She
'felt' the presence of Michael, even gave me his name,
and labeled him as being 38 when he died. She had no
knowledge of what we had found out from the Ouija board.
I had made a visit back to my hometown for a surprise
party for my grandfather. My boyfriend had accompanied
me on this vacation, and we also had my brother's birthday
present to take with us. My boyfriend had painted a
watercolor for my brother, and before we left on our
journey, we wrapped it in butcher paper and packed it in
the suitcase. Apparently Michael's spirit got trapped in
the wrappings, because Michael disappeared from my
apartment and reappeared in my brother's.
He did some of the same silly things in my brother's
apartment that he had done in mine. One day my mother
spent the night at my brother's and someone came up to her
and whispered into her ear while she was asleep. The
whisper was, "Tell Sammy I need help." It surely made a
believer out of my mother!
I moved to a different apartment and I received a package
from my brother. It was something he had purchased a
long time before and it had just been sitting in his closet
for months. When I opened the package (a Snoopy jack-in-
the-box), I set it on the floor and went over to my
computer to send a thank you. All of the sudden the
jack-in-the-box started playing music, and I knew Michael
had returned.
Quite awhile after that wonderful positive Ouija
experience, my friend and I decided to give it another
try. I had been reluctant to try it again because I didn't
want to have a negative experience. We did it anyway,
and I tried to take notes as well as touch the planchette.
We first spoke to a man who had been a lover to my friend
in a past life. He was a little scary, as his love for her
was still strong and he asked her to join him on the other
side. He then apologized to her for being so selfish and
left our space so that the spirit of my deceased grand-
mother could speak to me. She asked all sorts of specific
questions about my brother's health, and she also told me
that I should get rid of my boyfriend because he was evil.
He was evil because his twin brother always competed with
him. (She ended up being partially correct). The most
amazing part of speaking with my grandmother was that out
of nowhere she said, "Snoopy needs to poop." Snoopy was a
dog I was dogsitting for a friend. Sure enough, I opened
the door, Snoopy ran right to the grass, and he did his
business.
We then spoke with Michael and he claimed he knew where my
long lost hammer was. He said he would give it to me that
night. I jokingly asked if he was still a good spirit,
and he said he was. He never did reveal where my hammer
was, and I think he was insulted by my questioning his
intentions. I never experienced him again. He then went
to my friend's house, but we haven't heard from him since.

Dear Zsuzsana,
I own a Ouija board which I haven't felt comfortable
using since an incident that happened several years
back. After I had bought the board I had taken it to a
friend's home at their request. Well, another friend
was there who immediately took the board and declared
herself a "master" of Ouija use ... later it was
discovered that her only knowledge of how to use the
board came from the horror movie "The Witchboard."
This important omission on her part resulted in quite
a scary experience for the rest of us. While she and
the brother of the friend who asked me over were using
the board and moving the planchette in the way they
did in the movie, something started happening. Now for
some background information, the home we were in was
not air-conditioned and it was in the middle of the
afternoon on a clear and sunny day with the outside
temps being around 90. The air inside the home
dropped 30 degrees or more and all of a sudden we
started hearing a raspy hoarse breathing. The spirit
on the board was trying to tell the brother that it
was his great grandparent and had died of emphysema.
As the conversation went on, the breathing sound got
louder, and we could tell that it was centered in the
middle of the room about six feet off the ground.
Around this time the whole bunch of us started
feeling ill and I finally said that enough is enough and
took the board and put it away. As I did so, I
discovered a perfect figure 8 at the center of the
back of the board. It wasn't until the board was put
back into its box, closed and then taken outside that
the room returned to normal. Upon further exploration
we discovered that the being talking was not telling
the truth about its identity, but to this day have no
idea who or what it really was.
Brightest Blessings
Dan G.
