I must admit when I was a young teen, I refused to go to a seance, or rather a oija board happening with fellow teens, but I'm glad I did, even then as a non believer God was guiding me. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

An excellent entry for the True Story flash contest. I certainly hope it was someone playing a trick on you but i don't discount other explanations and I don't mess around with spirits espeically through Ouija boards and seances. Interesting story. Good luck in the contest.

I think you were extremely brave to show up at all. If I was invited to one I don't think I would be able to do it. I would have bolted at the same time you did also. Creepy stuff. Thanks for sharing though!

You did a good job telling this story in 100 words. It sounds like it was a very scary event in your life. I would have bolted, too. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

hmmm,
so the curtains moved, but no vision? She probably had something under the table that made them move. I'm sure, though, at that age, the moving curtains was scary enough.
Yes, Writing a story in only 100 words is a challenge, but you did. I think it's fun to see how certain words are superfluous, when you pare down a story. Good job.

great story, and I understand why it was difficult to condense it into 100 words.
Maryann. dabbled in the occult. '- no need for a full stop after Maryann.
'bolted out the door' vividly tells us how quickly you left.

This is an excellent way of telling the story of the occult and how you went on a seance to call Kim your dead niece back to talk to her.
I can relate. I went on an excursion to use the Wiji board and heard voices from across the room. It scared me nearly to death.
I don't blame you for not wanting to do anything evil again!
Jesse
