While my mother is a very practical woman, she
related this story to me, which to this day, she
cannot explain.
My mom's name is Kim. She was around 13 years
old when this happened, and was at a sleep over
with a bunch of friends. It was late, and they
had gotten bored of whatever they had been
doing, so one of them suggested they take out
the Ouija board. They started playing and
apparently ended up contacting an unknown
spirit. They asked him or her the normal girlish
questions about who liked which girl, who they
were going to marry, how many kids would they
have, what jobs would they have, etc. It kept
going on like this for a while until this spirit
started predicting this horrible accident and
describing it in great detail. They were
obviously very scared but wanted to know when it
was going to happen and to who. The spirit
answered "Ask Kim - It's her day." Truly
frightened, they put the board away and decided
to call it a night.
A few months later, my grandmother received a
call informing them that her nephew, Petey, had
been killed in a car accident the day before. He
was driving in Montana, on his way to an army
base in California, and had been hit by a semi
truck which had jumped the median. My mom and
Petey had been very good friends, and the news
was devastating to her. Then she remembered
what the Ouija board had said; they received the
call the day after her birthday. Petey was
killed on "her day". |
