Hold on to your wits

Hold on to your wits...

First off, let me say I'm not a superstitious person, okay maybe like 5%. And as far as supernatural things, I believe somewhat in the possibility, and less than the probability. But every so often it gets a bit scary, when possibility slides into probability and then manifest itself into reality.

 Enter, the old antique shop, that seemingly has been lost in time.

They say one man's junk is another man's treasure. But every once in a while you do find something that you think is worth buying and saving. A very old Spirit board, otherwise known as a Ouija board, tucked away in the corner with some old paintings. So, for $3 I thought it quite the bargain. Dated 1807. Two hundred and eighteen years old. Makes me wonder how many people played this over that span of 218 years. Scary... what secrets does it hold... I thought sarcastically to myself.

So... the adventure began later that evening when it started to get dark. Turn the lights out, and lightest couple of candles. Now you know, the planchette is going to move, and everyone claims they are not doing it... Naturally. Nevertheless the questions continue. The first part of message was... "You should"... and then it stopped. There we asked... we should... what? The planchette begins to move again... 

R ... U ... N. Okay... run, that's not funny... Who's doing this? And yet again, everyone claims it's not them doing anything. So the next question was asked? Is there more to this message? The planchette moves again, but thus time faster.

Spelling out.... N ...O ... W.

Just then a book curiously falls off the bookshelf and bang on the floor.

Needless to say we all jumped. And now it time to move on to something else... candles out, lights on. And not just any one or two lights, but all the lights in the house are now on. Then just by absolute coincidence little power fluctuations make all the lights in the house just flicker momentarily. We go to tuck the spirit board in the closet... the planchette is resting directly over the all seeing eye. That is not how we left it. 
Its time to watch a movie... a nice little animation... maybe something disney. Just to clear the mind. And it worked. At least untill it was time to go to bed. And as you close your eyes, in the mostly dark shadowy room, dimly lit by the light filtering through the edge of the curtains. And suddenly I feel like I'm 10 years old again, and dare not look under the bed. But I'm a rational adult, and shake it off, eventually falling asleep. Then, the rest of my night there's the dreams of running. Constantly runny away from something, all night long. As I awake, feeling exhaustsd... no doubt from running all night in my dreams, I start to feel like those possibilities, and those probabilities, have definitely emerged in some form of reality.

The moral: If you believe in possibilities... and a little in probabilities... then you should not tempt your unconscious mind to run away with itself... away from all logic and reasoning. But then again, it could be something more than just your subconscious mind.

Do not dabble in things that you do not want to understand. I've changed my perspective... I may be more than thst 5% superstitious.

Don't play with old Ouija boards, in fact don't play with Ouija boards at all... unless you want to gain an insight into things you really don't want to experience.
