Hello. First post. I had a question about something.

Today, my step sister walked into my bedroom and says, "You were screwing with me, weren't you? " She was grinning and giggling.

I looked up at her like, 'Uhh...huh?' And she stopped smiling a little and says, "You know, when you were on the stairs? I went downstairs to listen to music, and you kept standing at the top of the stairs, you were looking at me, then when I'd look at you, you kept walking away."

I told her, "No. I didn't. I came down like ONCE to get a towel for my shower..."

She then said, "No, you were wearing a white shirt."

No. I was wearing a dark red shirt and jeans.

I asked her how many times it happened. She said, "About 5 times. It was a few."

I had no clue what she was talking about. She got real serious and swears she did see it. She said when she'd look at her, she'd walk away. Then she'd come back when Brittany got focused on other things.

I was thinking about maybe trying to contact the spirit, to see who it is.

Should I use the Ouija board, or some other means?

First of all , I wouldnt use a oujia board for anything!
Never use a board if you do not know what you are doing. There are steps that should be taken before and after.
I am not a paranormal investigator, But however, you can take pictures , randomly around the house. Get the pictures developed and view the pictures, post them on here, show them to someone who is more experienced than you are.
Also you can ask random questions, like " Who are you? "
and leave a paper and a crayon out, see if something appears the next day.
However.. I wouldnt ask anything that can make a spirit angry. And never do something alone, if you are not experienced.
Can your sister describe all details, or is she seeing only the white shirt?
Any other experiences happened?

Has that ever worked for you Thumper? The Crayon thing.

Personally Ive never done it. However Ive been told it works. Hey worth a shot, cant lose anything , right?

Hi KrystinAnn. VERY interesting experience. I'm a little confused and not quite sure what to make of it. However, to give you some input: first of all, I agree with Thumper. Forget the Quija Board. Personally, I don't think there's anything inherently dangerous about the Quija Board, itself. After all, essentially, it is only paper and plastic. However, there is a certain stigma about it. We humans seem to have, "empowered," the Quija Board such that it almost seems to have its own autonomy. It's not the board, itself, that is dangerous. It's how we humans respond to it and where it takes our imaginations that is dangerous. I don't recall ever having read, or heard anything positive about the Quija Board. It is apparently a, "set of symbols," that evokes mentally unhealthy relationships with it. Many people even find it addicting and become obsessed with it. Leave it alone. "Where there's smoke, there's fire!"

Regarding your experience: your sister, Brittany, identified this, "Girl," as, "you." Apparently, there was nothing to make Brittany think it wasn't, "you." Brittany looked at, "you," and watched, "you," walk away several times. Brittany also said that, "you," looked at her several times. When Brittany addressed the situation with, "you," initially, she was sure it was, "you." At the same time, "you," know it wasn't, "you." "You," refer to, "you," as, "her," in this situation. If we are to consider this in terms of the paranormal, then logic would dictate that we should consider the commonalities between, "you," and, "her."

There is such a thing as, "Psychic Imprint." To analogize, if you were to rise from your bed in the morning and another person soon after laid down in your bed where you were, then that person would feel your body heat still in the bed. Though you are no longer in your bed, certain traces---strong traces---of you are still there. The same is true of, "Psychic Imprint." If you were to stand in one room of your house and then go to another room, you would leave a, "Psychic Imprint," of yourself in the first room. Another person sufficiently sensitive enough would be able to, "detect," that you were there and might even be able to actually see your, "Psychic Imprint," there.

Additionally, there are many reports that a, "spirit's activity,"---as simple an activity as, "walking away,"---seems to, "replay," in the same way as a, "scratched record:" if you're old enough to remember the old, "turntable days." It's possible that Brittany is very psychically sensitive to you. After all, the two of you are sisters. It's possible that, at some point, you left your, "Psychic Imprint," at the top of the stairs while wearing a white T-shirt and Brittany saw your, "Psychic Imprint," replay several times. It's at least a possible explanation.

I had a similar experience. I'm a single Dad. My two boys live with me more than half of each week. When my son, Graham, was three, or four years old, he used to awaken in the middle of the night, come to my room and climb up into bed with me. I would always roll over, extend my arm and pull him up into bed with me. One night, however, when both my boys were at their mother's---not at my home at all---I was asleep in my bed at night. I awakened to feeling the covers of my bed being pulled to the side and pressing down on me, as if Graham was climbing up into bed with me. But, when I rolled over and extended my arm to pull him up into bed with me, he wasn't there! I turned on the lamp beside my bed and he wasn't there! I then remembered that I was the only one home! So, do you see what I mean about, "Psychic Imprint?" Through repetition, I had become so accustomed to Graham's nightly routine, that it replayed for me, even when he wasn't there. Perhaps the same is true of you and Brittany.

It is also possible to, "Project," one's physical image. Apparently, this can be done either as as a conscious effort (as in a magical operation), or even totally unconsciously (one is not aware that one is doing it). Believe it or not, there are many, many reports of one person being seen in two different places at the same time. You can read about some of these cases in Colin Wilson's book, The Occult.

At the moment, these are the only explanations I can think of for this seemingly paranormal experience. If I think of anything else, I'll return and edit this post. I'm not completely closed to occult/paranormal phenomena. But, just to alleviate any possible fear you might have of this experience: In the 19th-century, the terms, "reason," and, "science," were often used interchangeably. 19th-century magician, Eliphas Levi," wrote in his book, The History of Magic, "Faith begins where reason (science) ends." The day may very well soon come when science will be able to explain all of what we now perceive as paranormal, or occult phenomena. I wouldn't get too freaked out about any of this if I were you. There is probably a perfectly rational explanation for it. It's just that, right now, science doesn't know what the perfectly rational explanation is yet. Fear not!

I think what the deal with those is that one, possibly spirits come and go throughout our homes from time to time and we don't even know it. For instance, my parents have had I think five individual and group entities pass through the house over the years altogether and they've never known (they've been mostly because of ME, since I had to move back in with them [oh yay!], and, being naive when I first started out doing evps, had a few of them follow me home from cemeteries and all).

People go to cemeteries all the time to show respect for those who have passed, but most, if none will be followed home unless they showed some signs they were trying to communicate with a spirit in the cemetery.

Also, spirits can 'attach' themselves to certain items and all, which is why sometimes bringing home an item from a resale shop can be trouble if it comes with a spirit with it (included FREE with purchase!). There's a clensing method you can perform before you bring something used inside your home but I don't know what it is.

So, keeping all this in mind, if you're messing around with an ouiji board, you're inviting entities to pay attention to them and all, which I think is where the problem lies: get a bored entity passing through and hearing you use the ouiji, it can very well 'attach' itself to the board and wah-la, it's boredom is then cured (or at least that's my theory about it).
