I believe this story to be true as I had scary experiences after having played it with my friends. We took it a joke and did not show "proper respect" and so we were taught a valuable lesson which still affects some of those involved until this day. Yes, NEVER MESS WITH THE OUIJA BOARD... IT LETS EVIL IN.

I do think your story is real! by: Charlene
Hi Drake,
I have used an Ouija board before and it was very scary! I cursed at it because it said I was going to have 6 kids and it flew off the board! My friends made me say I was sorry and then we started playing again and asked it if it was evil and it said yes! We of course stopped playing and it was a sleep over so we were all scared and kept hearing noises and seeing shadows that night so yes I think what you said it real! It is nothing that you want to mess around with. I don't think there is anything good about them that you are just talking to demonds maybe if you do the correct prayers the good spirits can come through but I wouldn't take the chance! The girl that lives next door she played with one alone when she was a teenager and said the thing threw off the board and she could hear something in the corner of the room and it sounded like something was pissing! She has had nothing but bad luck and will be dying from drinking in about a couple of years. A friend that stayed there a couple of times said she went down stairs to get something to drink and seen and old man sitting at the table and he had blood red eyes and watched her as she ran out of the room! I think they do have a demond there because of all the hard luck and how mean this person is when she is drinking! Anyway the hell to all you idots that have nothing good to say why don't you write about something or what you don't have anything real to write about so you have to be jerks to people that do make an effort to sare something! If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all and you don't know what the hell your talking about unless you have gone through something like this! Thanks Drake for the cool story!

To Wicked Lester... by: Drake
To Wicked Lester...Go ahead and hide behind the original name of the band Kiss, Lester, but I know who you are, man. I think you are a mix between Spider Rico, and James Spader in the movie 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape'.

To Drake: by: 1paranormalinvestigator
Getting in this field just 'fell' in my lap, so to speak. I've had paranormal experiences throughout my life, I'm just more aware of them now. I've had some pretty intense things happen to me, that are unexplainable and feel that paranormal things happen to those who look for it. Any advice I can give would be do some audio recordings to start off with to capture EVP's (electronic voice phenomena) I've captured many, many EVP's ranging from whispers to out and out screams (those were hair raising). When you listen back on the recordings, you can tell what an EVP is by the reaction to the people who you recorded. I HIGHLY recommend a low number of people.
When you ask questions, wait 15 - 20 seconds before asking another. You know you've caught an EVP when the people in the room do not react to it. For example, if there are two males where one asks a question and in listening back, you hear a female whisper "Hello" and neither male reacts to that "Hello"...you've got an EVP.
Also, pay attention to your gut feeling. You'd be surprised what you will find and/or experience. Hope that gives you more information, Good Luck and Be Well.

To Paranormal Investigator: by: Drake
To Paranormal Investigator: Thank you...I just felt terrible having someone think or feel that I was not being sincere. My script is actually out in California for a few contests, so I have no idea if they were for real or not, but I sure hope so, as I didn't mention this entry to anyone. But your point is well taken, and I'm sorry if I took your comments to heart in the wrong way. I was going to ask you if a similar experience got you into the field of paranormal investigation. It sounds so interesting to me. Was there a time that you realized you were a medium, or did your experience lead you to this field? I would love to help anyone here in Illinois, but I never know where to look and learn. Any advice?

Drake: by: 1paranormalinvestigator
My most sincere apologies. I in no way, meant to burst your bubble. It is EXCELLENT that you are able to speak of your experience you had at IU. I do not doubt you had this experience, and I completely understand it took quite a bit to muster up the courage to tell us about it. Of course there isn't anything wrong with trying to make money, especially in this current economy.
After re-reading everything, it has become clear to me that the script was not your experience you had at IU.
Oh, and you just never know who is reading these stories here. Case in point - the producer from California....
Take care, and be well.

To the investigator: by: Drake
To the investigator: Thanks for your opinion and insight. I honestly didn't know you were supposed to burn the ouija board! Wow!! In regards to my motivation, I merely thanked the producer for his/her compliments on my script. If I make money on my script that would be great. Without going into details, I really need to, as this is a very bad time for me. Creating a script from scratch was not easy, and if it was to get optioned, and I can pay off some very overdue bills, that is not a crime, is it? Any exposure from this site would NEVER make the script a success anyway unless they had/have a copy of it. All I did was thank him or her. I shared my story, and there is nothing wrong with that, either. I felt good for the first time in a long while, so why attempt to burst my bubble? I just don't understand. You're entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate the comments, but why the mean spirited part at the end? There is no possible way to make money on the script by thanking someone for their compliments on this site, but you are correct in saying that I am motivated for 'Nightmare Hall' to make it. Nothing wrong with that at all. If I didn't say thank you, it would be rude. My warning was not lip service, I really meant it.

A couple of comments: Firstly, concerning Ouija boards - if you don't know what you are doing (as I suspect the boys [at the time] from IU didn't) you WILL invite negativity in. A Ouija board is not a toy or a game. It is possible to invoke spirits using it, whether they be good or evil. Secondly, to the person who said they are throwing their's in the garbage - NEVER throw a Ouija board away. In doing this, you are only passing on what you've invoked in that board on to someone else. The proper way to get rid of a Ouija board is to burn it. In a safe manner of course!
And lastly - Drake, you know how you have that tingling feeling when something is amiss? Everyone is capable of this, it's just a matter of acknowledging it and accepting it. I got that feeling with this story, actually from your answer to everyone. I can't help but feel this is more of a way to make money (via a script) rather than warn people. Sorry, that's my feeling.
Take care.

Well thank you.... by: Drake
I've said it once...and I will say it again...I was not on acid, meth, or mushrooms that fateful night at IU, and thank God for that! Talk about a bad trip! Sorry to scare anyone's kids, or have anyone lose sleep out there, but just imagine trying to sleep after what really happened back in 1990. To the producer: well thank you....I wrote 'Nightmare Hall'. Glad to see some good feedback on it. The Ouija board story...was included in the script, but told by the character named Dillon. I hope the script gets done, but it will be a monumental undertaking. I expect the men in black and black helicopters to follow me around after it comes out. Most of the script is true, and I was thinking that perhaps I can add some condensed version of that story to this site, which is very scary. I mean UFO's are part of the paranormal by definition. I was going to visit Dulce on my way home from AZ, but after reading about it, I was too scared to go near that place alone. Whomever was there at IU, you know where to find me. I look forward to speaking with you soon!! I love this site. It is so well done. Stay away from the Archuleta Mesa and Ouija boards! Peace, love and soul. Drake

Nightmare Hall by: Anonymous
I am a producer in California, and read a script that included a similar story to this one. The script was called 'Nightmare Hall'. I think the script will make it. If you want a good scare...in the future....go and see the movie...'Nightmare Hall'. In fact...google search Dulce, New Mexico or search Nightmare Hall...it will scare you so bad. There are aliens here on earth...they can take you away...replace you with a clone...or leave you in an experimental holding cell underneath the earth...in a place called 'The Vivarium'...or 'Nightmare Hall'.
The script is totally, totally brilliant. Unlike anything I have ever read before. I started reading it, and could not put it down...went straight through. It had me looking behind my back...looking up in the sky...and gave me nightmares. It makes you think very deeply. There is anonymous confirmation of this fact...people way up in the military. Also, declassified documents will come out and mention Dulce. I hear it is the size of Manhattan...only underneath the ground. It sound awful.

Thanks!! by: Krista Schweda
Thanks!! Now I can't sleep...did the bible scream, or did the guy just start crying? I hear that a bible will scream near a Ouija Board.

That was the scariest story!! by: Frank The Tank
Drake...thanks for the advice!! I am taking my Ouija Board, and throwing it into the garbage right now. I totally believe you. Thanks for sharing. I am going to memorize that one...for my next camping trip. We tell ghost stories by the campfire, and I am willing to wager...that one will make people stay awake for hours. I had trouble sleeping last night

Drake was on mushrooms!! by: Yukon Cornelius
I think you were either on mushrooms or you are a meth-mouth!! No such things as ghosts or the devil. Stop trying to scare my children!!
