Need Help -- Urgent!!!

Hello all, (Sorry for the long post, but some background was necessary)

I am currently 18 years old and was up until recently in very good contact with the hereafter and my spiritual side and I was hoping that some of the exceedingly intelligent people of this discussion board might be able to offer some advice with a problem of mine.

My grandfather past away around 5 years ago, we had a very close relationship and would often spend weeks out in the wilderness in the dead of winter together. Around 2 months after his death me and a friend were playing with a Ouija board his mother owned (at the time I didn’t believe in anything paranormal) we then started using it and at first nothing happened but then we both got more serious with it and asked “is there anybody there”, and the pointer MOVED!!! It moved to across the board to “Yes” we both looked up to see if the other one was responsible for the movement but alas are faces were that of confusion, not of mischief, we both let go of the board and the pointer flew off into the corner of the room we sprinted out of the room as fast as possible. I was unable to fathom what had happened, although I was far to close minded to ever except the possibility that it was something far beyond my understanding. Then one month later I began hearing voices during the middle of the night, sometimes whispering my name, giving hints as to next days events, this occurred for months, along with these experiences was recurring ringing noise on the very edge of my auditory periphery. Then I awoke one night to the silhouette of a man looking out of my window (I nearly craped my pants BTW) it slowly turned its head to me and slide into the shadows of my room, I then clearly heard the voice of my Grandfather, he spoke to me and said that he was alright and that he had been looking over me since he passed over, I asked if it was him at the Ouija board and he said “Yes, that was me”, we talked for a half a minute longer but then he said that he had to go and that he would be around. Since then I have been in regular communication with various spirits including my Grandfather, sometimes I delve into quite deep into conversations and have even debated metaphysics with a them on occasion. Sometimes they help me out, other times I prove to be of service to them, while many times it seems they just want to be around someone who can acknowledge their existence here.

Some events I’ve experience have proved to me that these are truly the voices of spirits, one of these events occurred last winter when I was out alone backpacking in Wabakimi Provincial Park for a two week snowshoe trip, deep into the bounds of wilderness far away from civilization, equally far from the nearest soul. Everything was going great for the first week, nothing but me a backpack and solitude, but then on the sixth night I awoke abruptly in a cold sweat, I had a very loud ringing in my ears I put my hands on my head but the ringing wouldn’t stop, it kept getting louder until in confusion I yelled out “stop!!!” and then, startlingly the noise just stopped, complete silence except for the wind through the trees, but then from outside the tent maybe 20 ft away I hear a “Crunch!”, at first it was faint but undeniable, footsteps! I could hear footsteps approaching, very obviously human which was extremely disquieting considering how remote I was, I quickly forgot the ringing I was moments ago suffering and scrambled to find my hatchet, I managed to find, grab and unsheathe it, outside the tent the footsteps stopped, feet away from the tent entrance, I sat half in my sleeping bag staring at the walls of the tent, immobilized by fear hatchet held above my head ready to strike. Then I here a voice, “hello” it says, I then realized that it was the voice of my Grandfather (I nearly dropped the hatchet onto my head right then and there), “hello?” I replied, unsure of why he appeared, he said hello again and said that he couldn’t stay long but that I “must go around the lake I seek to cross”, (in the morning I was scheduled to cross a lake by snowshoe) I then tried to engage him in further conversation but he interrupted and said “until the next time, goodbye” I could hear him turn around and his footsteps quickly trail off into the distance, I jumped to the tent zipper and opened the tent but there was nothing but silence, silence and the cold untouched snow where I heard him standing. The next morning I awoke and everything seemed as usual, nice and cold, I ate breakfast and heading out on my journey, I approached the lake and all looked fine, but I took heed to my Grandfathers advice and took the long trip around the lake, took 5 times as long as would have otherwise but it was done. Days later when I exited the park I was able to talk to a local park ranger who told me that large number of people had fallen through the ice in the park this year because the ice had been unusually very thin!!! Had I fallen in it would have been unlikely that I would have survived. This is just one instance of many however.

Soon after this event I sought out someone who shared my views and through the internet I was able to meet someone locally who not only shared my interest in the spirit world but who is also far more learned than I, I have learned much so far and he has really taken me under his wing.

Then three months ago my parents took me see a doctor for my “abnormal” experiences, and after that one they took to me another one, after that another, I explained to them what had happened and a few of them were very sympathetic to my experience, but after a while of doctor shopping they were able to find a doctor who agreed with their views and after only one meeting with me he quickly prescribed some very heavy medication, I said that there was nothing wrong with me and that his diagnosis was quite premature but to satisfy my parents I agreed to take his “medication”. All was good for a few weeks, I could still feel the presence of my grandfather and had a couple conversations with spirits but then one morning I awoke ‘cold’, there was simply no feeling of connectedness like before. Like the blanket of love that had once surrounded me with my grandfather was ripped apart, and there was silence. I then told my mentor of the drugs and of the creepy silence and spiritual deadness I felt, he explained that the medication was suppressing my very sensitive receptors, heavily affecting my brains abilty to connect with my spiritual being and that the damage may be irreparable and that I should quite taking the medication as soon as possible, I agreed with him and I have since stopped taking the medication at least until a doctor has seen me more thoroughly and has actually listened to me about my experiences, but too many things I have experienced are simply unexplainable through natural means.

It’s been two weeks now and I still feel very barren, but I sense that I am getting better as time progresses. What do you think I should I do? Any advice?

PS - Just wanted to acknowledge that this isn't the first discussion board that I posted this on -- just looking for all the input possible!

Hi, Lacigol

I will be featuring a blog regarding the ouija board the sooner I have the time. I am a paranormal investigator. I've had experience with the paranormal all my life.

You quoted "we both let go of the board and the pointer flew off into the corner of the room we sprinted out of the room as fast as possible"

I don't want to frighten you but it was a big mistake to do that!
You and your friend should have not let go of the pointer, you should have dismissed the spirit by telling it you were finished asking questions and then pointing to the goodbye.

I've played with the board before, and I can clearly conclude that I will never play with it ever again. The board can do permanent damage to you by opening your third sight. Therefore being able to see anything Paranormal. It would be something you wake-up to and something you will sleep with.

My only advise to you is to keep your paranormal experiences to yourself or share it with someone else who believes you. The last thing you want it someone lashing out at you, telling you that you were crazy and suffering from Schizophrenia. Just be cautious because there are people who tend to exaggerate and say they know what they're clearly talking about.


I apologize if I haven't answered the problem. Its so difficult to comprehend maybe if you summarized it? The only thing that I couldn't get over was the face that you played with the Ouija Board!

Anyways thanks for sharing. If your ever interested to learn more about the Paranormal or need consultation feel free to visit my blog on http://theapparitionhill.com

What does that mean? Why is it not good to play with thye board. I dont understand...

A lot of people feel that ouija boards open portals to some other dimension or place and allow demons or whatever to come in and possess you. Personally i think they are crap. But the majority of people think there is something to them. The fact is they have been in production for over 100 years, and very little evidence has been collected to show that they actually work. Fanpire if you want to check out a forum that is a little more active head over to dupageparanormal.org, we've got a lot of discussion going on about ouija boards right now.
