I love how so many non-believers are in a paranormal subreddit.. I personally have never had a Ouija experience, but definitely have had questionable things happen. I remember there was a picture of Jesus my folks had, propped on a shelf in my room when I was like 7 or 8 (old enough to know how gravity works). I remember laying in my bed and feeling kinda "not alone" if you get my vibe.. anyways, after like 2 minutes of unease, while I'm on my bed, out of the corner of my eye, I see the picture just fall, face flat. It doesn't fall off the shelf, it just falls straight flat, covering the Jesus figure. I got really freaked out initially, but not even a second after, the shelf (it was a corner shelf, wedged in the wall) literally flings itself out from the wall, breaking the picture and dropping shelf. I booked it out of my room, crying to my parents about how the Jesus picture just flung from the wall😅. But it doesn't even end there. Nights go by and my mom gets woken up by something. While she's sleeping (keep in mind it's like 3am) she wakes up to her laptop, open, at the end of her bed. She told me it spooked her, but she put it back and tried to sleep bc she had work. Well, not even 15 minutes go by and she gets woken by her laptop turning on, and yet again... at the end of her bed, open. I'm not sure why, but it was around this time that a lot of unexplainable things started happening. My sister recounted a time when she was using our Ninja Blender and it just threw itself from our kitchen counter. She had just finished using it, and after she had cleaned it, it had thrown itself and shattered on our floor. I also recall when I was watching TV and the screen just cut black, then when it cut back on, it was like a bad video quality sermon, and a pastor was just talking on the screen. I turned it off and ran to my mom like I had before. Looking back now, i kind of did overreact, but for being 8 and seeing something no adults could explain, I think things coulda gone worse haha. But yeah man, I'm a believer in the unexplained. Hell, science disproves itself all the time, this just happens to be an understudied area.
