Back when I was 15-16 yrs. old, there were 5 or 6 of us that always looked for haunted houses in Manitowoc, WI where I grew up. We also had seances with good results except for one time. I will relay this true story only because it's getting ridiculous with all the postings on using Quija boards. If you use that device, you never know what you allow into your house or life. Here goes:
As mentioned above, the seances always rendered good results with the majority of spirits telling us of the history of Manitiowoc. One evening, four of us went over to a place in Custerdale (west of downtown Manitowoc) where a girl named Mary was babysitting. The kids were put to bed and we had a seance. Now Mary is the sister of one of us and at the time, 14 years old. We asked the usual questions of "Is anyone here?" "Please rap on the table." Like I said, the usual questions. The only light we had was a candle lit and in the middle of the round table. Not long after asking questions, the atmosphere in the room changed and became very heavy; sinister. We should have discontinued but didn't.
Mary seemed to go into some kind of trance, which had never happened before. (She was the most psychic one). In a matter of seconds she started mumbling some gibberish which could have been a foreign language. All of us had joined hands around the table from the start, but both her lower arms bent upwards and her hands and fingers created long eerie pointed shadows on the wall. She eventually snapped out of this trance and was scared s***less, begging for us to get her arms down. She said someone or something was holding up her arms and she couldn't bring them back down. The gal sitting right next to her could not bring her arms down to the table either.
We got out the Bible, had a silver dime (yes, a silver dime and no cross) plus holy water. One gal called for God to help us and Mary, and then this girl's fingers went flying through pages of the Bible, stopping on many evil passages. We started praying with the "Our Father" prayer and sprinkled holy water about. Only at that point did Mary's arms come down and the evil lessoned. A few minutes later the heavy atmosphere changed and Mary was crying uncontrollably. The shadows on the wall from her fingers and hand looked like a devil's face and you could feel the evil in the room.
Whatever we conured up was either in the house or perhaps on the land itself. No one ever did a follow up as to what was previously built there. Needless to say, we never did another seance.
So, I beg you...please be extremely careful what you are doing and prepare yourself first with blessings and if you have it, holy water. Better to be safe than sorry.
