Ouija Board Stories
1. The Handprint Horror
“As a kid, I played with a Ouija board with my friends. Everyone but me believed in spirits, so I kept challenging the board to do physical things, like tap my shoulder. The planchette never moved, but suddenly my back began to sting. When I checked, there were three red, puffy handprints as if I had been slapped! I vowed never to touch a board again.”
2. The Scary Shadows
My brother’s friend used a Ouija board at his house, and chaos ensued. Their family began to see pennies and marbles thrown down the hallway. One day, while doing yard work, his mom spotted a dog, but when she called it, the dog had an old man’s face. Things escalated to the point where they had to call a priest for an emergency exorcism. Even today, they still see dark shadow figures following them.”
3. The Worrying Whisper
After months of harmless paranormal activity in my house, I got a Ouija board. When I contacted something, the planchette began to move in figure eights across the board—a clear sign of something demonic. I left it untouched for months. When I tried again and asked where the spirit was in the room, my vision blurred, and I saw a vivid image of my head jerking back. I heard the words, ‘with you,’ whispered in my ear by an unseen presence. I sold the board immediately.”
4. The Bizarre Blackout
“When I was 15, my grandma asked me to use a board to contact my uncle, who died at birth. Initially, it seemed like we were communicating with him, but soon the spirit grew mean and possessive, claiming it had my uncle and was coming for me. I blacked out for a full minute. When I regained consciousness, light bulbs in the kitchen had popped, scattering glass everywhere. We never touched the board again.”
5. The Crayon Catastrophe
One summer, my friends and I made contact with a spirit named Jake through my board. They kept teasing him to prove he was real. In my room, we found crayons knocked over on the floor and a notebook open on my bed with ‘JAKE’ scrawled in large letters. We had been together in the basement the whole time, with no one else home. A friend insisted we break the board into pieces to ‘stop the evil,’ so we did.”
6. The Old Pal
My son came home from school in fourth grade, excited to tell me he and his friends had played with a Ouija board at recess. They claimed to have talked to a 13-year-old boy from the Civil War. I shrugged it off until a few days later, when they played again and the spirit suggested they join him as friends. I had to be the strict mom and call the school to intervene.”

7. The Megaplex Mystery
I worked in a haunted movie theater, and my co-workers and I thought it would be fun to use a Ouija board there. In one booth where most activity had occurred, various spirits interrupted us, giving us nine different names! One particularly malicious spirit identified itself as ‘RD’ and warned us to leave. It moved the planchette in figure eights before a candle tipped over. Strange events continued until I quit.
8. The Mommy Moment
“Years ago, my mom and her friends played with a board that spelled out ‘PREGNANT.’ They were shaken when it then spelled my mom’s name. That’s how she discovered she was pregnant with me—through a Ouija board.”
9. The Dad from Beyond
“While playing with the board, one of my friends, who had lost her dad in a trucking accident, began asking questions. The board spelled out ‘bridge’ and ‘water’—the circumstances of his death. Just as we were getting skeptical, a hoodie flew off a chair as if it had been tossed. We all panicked, and that was the last time I approached a board.”
10. The Halloween Happening
On Halloween night, I played with my little brother, and the board spelled out a man’s name, followed by my mother’s name. When I asked her about it, her face went pale, and she refused to tell me who the man was.”
11. The Soulmate Secret
“When I was 13, my friends and I played with a board. Being a boy-crazy teen, I asked who I would marry, and it told me ‘W.T.C. 3.’ Years later, I met my husband, whose initials are W.T.C., and he is indeed the third. No one believes me, but it’s true!”
12. The Spooky Séance
“My friend and I connected with a woman through my board who claimed to have died at 40 and was born in 91 B.C. She answered yes or no questions, revealing that her mother poisoned her without explanation. When we asked if this was what she wanted to convey, she replied ‘YES.’ It felt like something out of a horror show.”

13. The Fear of God
“During a game with friends, I asked if God existed, using the name Jehovah. As soon as I posed the question, the planchette shot out the open window. I swear it happened. I never touched a board again. Later, I read that demons tremble at the mention of God’s name.
14. The Camera Catastrophe
In 2011, while my husband and I were stationed in the Navy, we played with a Ouija board under security camera surveillance. After 30 minutes, we checked the footage, but it showed us sitting down and then skipped to us getting up—30 minutes of activity completely missing! No other cameras had lost footage during that time.”
15. The Tearful Trip
In high school, my best friend and I bought a Ouija board and drove to a park to use it. Suddenly, a wave of dread overwhelmed me, as if someone I loved had just died. I felt nauseous and heavy-hearted. My friend was crying too, though we hadn’t spoken. We turned the car around, and the feeling vanished. It took years before we dared to touch the board again, and that was only to throw it away.”
16. The Quick Greeting
“I missed my great uncle’s funeral due to school commitments and hadn’t mentioned his death to my friends. A week later, while using the Ouija board, a friend asked if it knew anyone in the room. The board spelled my name, then ’98’ for his age, followed by ‘OLIVER’—his name. I broke down in tears as it spelled ‘MISSED YOU,’ then ‘GOODBYE.’ I haven’t touched a board since.”
17. The Rotary Phone Phantom
When my dad bought an old house, my friend and I decided to try a Ouija board. We played in an upstairs room, and suddenly the rotary phone began clicking, as if someone was tampering with it. Weeks later, home alone, I heard the clicking again, and the light on the other phone lit up each time. That night, as I tried to sleep, I felt hands rocking me back and forth, accompanied by eerie humming. It was terrifying, and we moved out soon after. I still have nightmares.”
