story Well I don't really know where to begin. I guess i'll start here. About a year and a half ago i moved into an apartment with my friends Chad and Phill. We lived on the second level of this building, which is owned by my best friend of 18 or so years parents. Things were pretty normal except for the fact that we would hear these banging sounds in the middle of the night, all the time. For fun we used to make up stories about what could be causing the noises and because our downstairs neighbors were very weird, we would say that they have a staircase to nowhere built in the middle of the floor and they would walk it every day. Ha ha we made up all kinds of things but the banging kept up. I even complained to our landlord about it. One day when i was leaving for school i ran into one of our downstairs neighbors, a women in her early 30's. She told me that they weren't banging on anything last night but some times they hit there pipes so they don't freeze. Okay, that would make sense but it was the spring ...Anyway our real story begins when the lady downstairs got married and moved out.
Remember how i mentioned that the landlord was a friend...well she let 4 more of my friends move downstairs, 3 of which just graduated highschool and 1 who was in college but dropped out. So they moved in and we found all kinds of weird stuff when we cleaned the place up. One thing we found was prozac hidden in the medicine cabinet light fixture...but the best thing was this room in the basement about 3 times the size of a closet. Inside were some junky doors, a toy, and one chair. The door only locked from the outside so figured it was some kind of punishment room that the lady put her daughter in. Creepy indeed. Anyway one of the kids downstairs, Bob, had this friend named Jessica. He invited her over to the house one night and she sensed, as she often did, that there was something wrong with one location in the house. She would get a very weird feeling when she walked through an archway leading to the bathroom.
Being that we all love the paranormal we thought wow that's really cool....and explained the noises to possilbly be ghosts...but we wanted more. So one night this girl brought over one of those "toys" people use to communicate with ghosts and had a little gathering down in the basement in that creepy room.
The first session seemed really fake....so i don't take anything from that to be true. However, that night, myself Bob, and Jamie went down around 3am, to do one ourselves. We three just seem to have this weird power together....and things are always happening to us...so that's why we chose to do it. We conacted a very strong spirit which called itself "E" and let its pressence be known by banging one of the metal doors in the corner of the room. Funny but all three of us actually started crying like babies because this was the first verifiable encounter that the three of us had with a ghost. E was also confirmed by the fact that she would tell us when our other roomates would be comming home. Right after she said Len is home...we would hear the door upstairs close. It was creepy. E claimed to be my as well as jamie's guardian. Well we went through the usual questions night after night....always after midnight and E would dazzle us every time. We were hooked...which i think was what the spirit wanted....one night she even warned my girlfriend to go home...and right at that moment her mother paged her. Crazy. Each time we would go we would be done our hands were ice cold as well. This is the end of part I only because i have to go to class now....i will finish this story in one hour from now.

story Okay...as i was saying our hands were always cold after we finished for the night. Eventually we were at the pace of having a meeting with our spirit every night..but one night we didn't have time....the very next night the spirit was very mad at us. She said she was lonely. One strange thing was that she said she communicated with her daughter when her daughter dreampt. Then things started getting wierd. The ghost became obsessed with Jamie. The ghost focused on telling him that he will be happy and meet this girl.
The ghost identified initials and everything matched to the person he liked. But the ghost made bad predictions about times and places...so Jamie grew to be first mad at the spirit, then doubtfull of the whole experience. He thought he might be moving the letter piece because he knew the answers before they were spelled out...when the question pertained to him.
So we decided to try the board at a different location. The cold spot near their bathroom. We got a spirit really quickly. The spirit seemed like it was of a little kid because it kept wanting to play a game....but we didn't understand...it was a very bad speller. We asked it if he lived in our house and he said no....he came in through the big gate. So we determined that the cold spot was a gate and decided to never contact spirits there again..just in case. This spirit did identify the name of my new born cousin...with me looking away..and the other guys didn't know his name yet....so after our reafirment in the spirit world we decided to try the basement again....big misstake. I'm guessing it was right after midnight one night..this past june. We contacted E again and she started with her ramblings of how jamie would be happy and that he had all this power...etc...but jamie said she was wrong...and that he didn't believe in her anymore....i did a bad thing and said...we want to talk to a different spirit.. the letter indicator stopped....and then started whipping around....the started spelling things really violently....things like we were so stupid...and that it was an evil spirit who has been lying to us all along.....i'm getting chills now just thinking of it.....it said it was the devil....but since i really don't believe in one i just took it as trying to say it was really evil. It cursed at us some more.....and i said...go ahead give us a sign that your hear...i don't believe you....and it just said ask me that again....so i did...and it said ask again then jamie said not to...because asking things 3 times...has some kind of relevance...and that it was probably very bad....so i stopped.....we then decided this was crazy...and bob let go...so it was just me and jamie....and we said goodby spirit...leave....and it just stopped in the middle of the board...then jamie said, "i can't control my hand"....he was very scared...i let go of the piece...and it began whipping around...then it froze...he said he was stuck... and almost started to cry....he couldn't move his hand....so then for some unknown reason... i grabbed onto the pice and his hand and started yelling the lord's prayer...even though i'm not religous at all...i'm an agnostic...but i remembered it from confirmation...when i was in junior highschool.....the piece and his arm started to violently whip around again... so i started screaming it....then it just flew off the board........jamie could move again but his arm was ice cold....i had a sickening feeling about the board and demanded that we got rid of it....right away. So we had Len bring it back to the girl who let us use it.....since then nothing big has happend...except for me missing things i know i set down in a particular place...and one other thing is that one of the other kids downstairs was all alone one night...in the dark...and he heard something bang...and whisper his name. ...so he refuses to stay alone in the dark now....hehe. Right now we're planning on doing something big for Halloween night...i'll right about it if anything happens.
