Back for a bit. Sorry for making this long and for any typos.
GSB/LTD I just read your stories. Thank you so much fo sharing that with us all. What a thrilling experience for you. See? That's exactly the kind of experience I feel I would have, instead of the spooky/horror stuff. Not to take away from people who had these experiences, but I believe it's about expectancy. (And from one of my own paranormal experiences, I feel it would be this way.) I don't fault the people who warn, because I know those experiences were real for them. It doesn't mean they will be the same for everyone.
Ouija board has no power in and of itself. If you're INTENT is to contact spirits, then yes, it can be dangerous. Using it as decor with no intent to communicate with the spiritual realm is not dangerous. Go with you're gut feeling on this decision.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21038622 Agreed with you as well, on every point. Thank you.
NOLAangel: Another extraordinary anecdote. Thank you very much for sharing it. Sorry it happened to your son, and to you, but glad you were able to deliver yourselves from it. Brilliant end to that!
I can say I was definitely not spiritually strong enough to get rid of it on my own. Once it went after my 13 yr old daughter I had had enough. I do believe different entities exist. I know my mother has reached out to me. Sometimes in dreams, I can feel her driving down the road etc. I'll smell perfume, that's not my mom though. Maybe my cousin. Sleep paralysis showed me a whole other side. It was worse than whatever dark entity followed me for so long.i haven't had an episode since having my house/self cleansed.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53735075 Thank you, as well, for sharing that. Truly amazing that there's so many of you to whom stuff like this has happened. Love reading about it, and wish I had read about this from all of you a few years ago, when my experiences happened. (Not an entity, the first one, just not sure what that was, ghost or what, it was sort of friendly or neutral vibe.)
Just want to emphasize this:
OP: Contrary to what most people think, not all board spirits are evil but are simply trapped somewhere "in-between" until they can escape and rest in peace.
Quoting: GSB/LTD What a beautiful thing to say, because someone's calling, perhaps someone lurking, might very well be to help those trapped souls, as you probably did "yours", Joseph. There's a show, forgot the title, that says they (the people who remove entities) can't clean a house unless they help the dead first. (This isn't verbatim.) The concept, once again, fascinates me.
It's kind of like this: there's people who run towards danger to help others, pull a victim out of a burning car, run towards a coyote to free him, while others will stand back and warn you that it will bite, that you will get burned etc. I just saw tonight on the news, a good samaritan tucked in a homeless man with a new blanket. The man woke up, overpowered the G.S. jumped him, got on top of him, beat him to a pulp and stole his wallet.
Does that mean ALL homeless men will be like that? No. Does that mean it will happen to every one who is a G.S.? No. Does that mean you should be cautious? Sure. But everyone has their own path and who gets burned and who goes unscathed, it's not for us to say.
As one AC said above: "go with your gut feeling", follow your instincts. Someone's experience and, perhaps, my siding with them, does not in any way invalidate another's experience. All are valid. But just like I think those who rope walk about the Grand Canyon are nuts and I'd never do it doesn't mean I should stop them from doing so. We all must get our own experiences. So I am drawn to this. If I get burned, some of you told me so. I respect that. I do not invalidate you. You are right, but there are many rights and different people have different purposes.
If some of you (us?) can send some of these lost souls where they're supposed to go, if some of us can disarm demons and close the portals upon their departure, perhaps our reality can go back to normal? Perhaps that is one way to restore our rightful timeline. Who's to say? I might be your Neo, so do not rain on someone's not parade but motivation. We all have our calling. I believe we all are Neo. Right now the planet needs more Neos. Some of us will be called to do extraordinary things that others deem insane. And that's ok too.
Very glad I asked this and very grateful for your replies. Thanks everyone!
