WOW!!! I didn't realize I'd be opening up a can of worms with this subject.
First all, Tetra....this woman's husband does not believe in anything spiritual,,,God, Jesus, ghosts, angels, demons. In fact, he was quite visibly upset about the whole thing.
Eclipse...this lady did make her own version of the ouija...with paper, and a drinking glass...and you're right. Until a person experiences something like this firsthand, they will not believe it.
I am a skeptic...I try to reason out everything. I look for the obvious explanations...I am not easily swayed, or fooled. But, I do believe in the existence of spirits. THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE MOVED THAT GLASS!!!
I felt the energy from it,... it travelled up my arms, amd made them tingle.... Granted, I was very nervous, but I've been nervous before and my arms never tingled .. I can also say, that once, my husband did cough, and the glass jerked a bit, and it was far different than when it moved on it's own. Far different. It glided quite smoothly across the table when it decided to move.
AND, I was totally sober. I had to drive later that evening to pick up my son from work, and I never drink when I have to drive.
Thanks everyone for your input...it's been really interesting. I enjoyed hearing your stories.
There are those of us who believe, probably because we have witnessed these things firsthand, and many of you who do not believe. That's ok...that's what makes for good conversations.
I have no idea why the ouija will work sometimes, and not other times, or if there is a skeptic in the room or not. I have heard it said that hypnotists can hypnotize some, but not all people. Why is that? I dunno. Perhaps it's because some believe in the spiritworld, and others do not. Who knows.
Sirona.....please let me know what you learn...I'm very interested.
