A Ouija Board: The Summoning
My friend was over at my house for the night. It was a Friday night so there was no school the next day. We were on YouTube watching ghost videos, y'know the whole "undeniable evidence of ghosts!" videos that are always somehow linked with the "the moon is a space station" and "Illuminati confirmed" videos.
Anyway, I remember my sister had a Ouija board that she never used. One of her friends got it for her as a present, she never used it because she never thought they worked, it just sat in the back of her wardrobe collecting dust. I decided to sneak in and borrow it for just a little while.
We clear up the floor and make some room, get some candles and print off a "20 questions to ask a Ouija board" page off some website. Just the normal "Is there a ghost here?" and "How did you die?" type questions. We got no response from any of them.
My friend and I decided to look at just a few more pages... and there it was... "How to summon an underworld being". That's where I knew we were about to mess up.
I'm not going to name any of items needed because I don't want you to go through trouble we did. We finish saying the command that we read off the page. Then there's a dead silence. Almost like all the wind fled, knowing that there was something unnatural occurring. Then very quiet at first, there was what sounded to be like a hollow wood wind-chime sound coming from our board, right where we put our "ingredients". It was increasing and decreasing in pitch, slowly increasing in volume. My friend and I were frozen stiff, as if our bones themselves had turned to stone. We look each other in the eye and we both know that we've made a horrible mistake.
The pile begins to vibrate. We're too scared to move, so we just watch as the board vibrates more and more. Suddenly there's a load BANG sound and the pile starts crumbling as it emerges. Just the head at first, almost as if the board is giving birth to this... creature. I look over to my friend and I see him turn whiter and his eyes grow wider. There is something coming out of the board. The summoning has worked.
I turn back to the board and there it is. Standing on top of the board. There it was. Standing with its hollow eyes staring at us. It's long skinny body and pale complexion. The sound of wood tapping on wood. It seemed to be the size of an average man. And there it was. Staring at us with its mouth open wide. I'm struggling to type this, because I'm shaking just at the memory of it. But, what we summoned was a skeleton. A real, bone and bone skeleton. I still remember the look of horror in my friends eyes.
It begins to walk over to the bed. It climbs up and starts to jump. The sound of its clinking bones still creep me out. It was jumping all over the place. It was swinging from the ceiling fan and waving its arms around. I let out a whimper and it climbs off and stands right in front of us. It jumps from one leg onto the other. Then it begins to use its ribs, almost as if it was an xylophone. This was the wooden wind-chime sound I had heard before. Then I heard what sounded to be like laughter. But how could that be? I could clearly see that this skeleton had no organs to make any sound with. It stands still. It was like this for what felt like an eternity. it raises its arms, so fast it almost happens in an instant. It's long boney fingers pointing at my friend and me. Somehow, this spooky, scary skeleton lets out a horribly cry and says "One day, the both of you shall become just like me, unless you choose cremation." Its head starts spinning, then it lets out a shriek so loud, it still sends a shiver down my spine. It starts descending back into the board from where it came.
I will never forget it.
