Paranormal Investigator Damon Simms explored the dingiest corners of some of Staffordshire's spookiest places. Here he recounts the tale of a young teen in Meir, who found that a Ouija board should not have been used as a toy.
THE first record of a Ouija board can be dated back to 1100BC in China, but when we think of films like The Exorcist, we imagine that their origins are nothing more than parlour tricks for people to scare themselves with. Jane thought just that, she was wrong.
In the school holidays of 1991, Leo and Jane were both 16 years old and enjoying the warm weather together along with their friends.
Parents are at work and the fun loving teens are making the most of being home alone.
One of Leo's friends suggested they try something new, a Ouija board. He would make the board using an old piece of hardboard and a thick permanent marker.
All the friends seemed excited by the mixture of fun and fear the prospect of 'playing' with the witch board could bring them.
A short while later, the friend had made the board and all five teens sat in a circle on the floor of the girl's bedroom, fingers touching the upturned glass.
At first nothing happened, and then a slight movement, almost unnoticeable. Then the glass shifted across from its starting position and stopped at 'hello' the friends looked at each other.
"Ok so who's pushing it" asked Jane, but all five teens looked shell shocked. This wasn't a game.
Gradually the glass became more fluid and seemed to build up momentum and strength, responding to the terrified teens' questions.
"When did you die?"
"1964"
"What was your name?"
"Eian...it still is"
"Do you have a message for anyone here?"
"Yes, I will be visiting you tonight...alone"
The words rang with such an unnerving horror that a young teen left using the board immediately, that girl was Jane.
Eventually intrigue changed to caution and her friends soon followed suit and stopped playing with their new sinister and mysterious 'toy'.
The day drew to a close and the night began to set in. Jane was now at home in her bedroom at her parents' home in Meir.
Alone, she got ready for bed and it seemed that although she had felt apprehensive for some time after that, her rational side attempted to take over, perhaps one of her friends had been pushing the glass all along?
As she settled down for the night into her bed, the events of the day had become a distant memory, almost, until Jane noticed something.
At first it looked like a small ball of light, like someone was shining a small torch into a net curtain. It looked almost angelic, gentile.
It moved gracefully across the room until it settled about two feet away from her bed near the floor.
It floated for a moment before it dissipated into the floor. The room was dark again.
Then, from the exact place that the small ball of light disappeared, a red column of light began to rise.
The atmosphere in the room changed at that instant. A dark foreboding feeling hung heavy in the air making Jane feel terrified. The column rose higher, and as it did so did the operative feeling of something negative, evil had entered her room.
She knew this was the entity that had threatened to visit her alone that night, something not of this world.
Terrified, she leapt from her bed, ran around the column and out of her room, across the landing and began to bang on her parents' bedroom door, her father came to the door in a panic.
Jane told her father as he dragged him by the arm towards her bedroom about her unwanted visitor, but as the door opened they both saw that whatever had been in her room had now gone.
The following day Jane and her parents; whom were both devout Catholics, requested a house blessing on their home, and to their relief the entity never returned.
Jane had learnt her lesson, we should not 'play' with things that we do not understand.
