There were fifteen twenty-ish year olds crowded into a small room, and one of them brought a Ouija board along for fun. He said they could find out all about their future by playing it.

One of those present said, “Yeah, that is how the girl in the movie The Exorcist got messed up with Satan.” No one cared.

What fun! After a few minutes of fumbling around, the planchette was moving around the board answering questions. Mesmerized would be not adequate to describe the impact on the young people. As time went on it was revealed to the crowd that they had two demons in the room with them. One identified as a good demon, the other as a bad demon. All this came via the planchette, as it moved from letter-to-letter spelling things out.

At one point the planchette whizzed around when no one was touching it.

The bad demon? Okay, that one leave alone. But the good demon? This one we can trust, was the message.

The way I heard about it the very next day, and it went something like this: “Wow! We are in touch with the supernatural!”
