This eBay listing as scared the crap out of me. If I ever see that box near me, I will kill whoever dropped it off.

Where did you get that link from?
And yes. Creepy does not begin to cover it.

From Neil Gaiman's blog.

This is a classic case of "Do not FUCK with things you don't understand!" I'm sitting here crying.

Have you ever had a ouiji board? I did once. It was a joke, right? Until I started seeing "Vertical shadows" out of the corner of my eye... and the closet that the Ouiji board was in wouldn't remain shut... and rattling noises (like someone softly shaking the box) could be heard on occasion.

The board is gone. The shadows have left and the closet stayed shut. (I no longer live in the old farm house this happened in).

Again, I'd like to repeat... "DO NOT FUCK WITH THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" ... definately a wise way to live your life. O.O

My mom refuses to let a ouija board in this house. Heh.

But yeah.. do not fuck with the paranormal. They are often not nice.

ummm very very strange. Im not one to believe in all that paranormal stuff but I dont want that box to come near me !

Of course, the thing about stuff like that is that you don't know if someone along the way is making some of that stuff up -- can't really trust anything you read online. But it's a great story whether true or not. And I wouldn't even try to bid on something that was theoretically haunted, whether I believed in the story or not...

[amezri.livejournal.com]

yeah, exactly. It doesn't even really have to be true for me to fear it because even the chance is enough to scare me.

Frankly, the power of suggestion would probably be enough to make a lot of people who had that box have trouble sleeping anyway, if they just knew that it was supposed to be freaky. I'd be delighted to have some of that story verified -- that they were genuine first-person accounts rather than just made up by someone, that is -- but I damn sure wouldn't try to look into it myself. (Why I e-mailed a local paranormal investigator about Dad's supposedly-haunted office -- but didn't even ask to spend a night there myself...)
