The Ghost Report!!!!!

Well, do I have an amazing story to tell.

So last night, Erik stayed iover at my place. As some of you may know, we were trying to investigate some of the weird things that have been happening in my apartment. I suspect it's ghosts, Erik, a complete geek, is convinced. Erik showed up at about 7:00 or so, and we ordered some pizza, as you should do when ghost hunting. :) So we ate, and then to set the mood, played some ghost/scary themed video games (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc). What can I say, once a geek, always a geek. At about 11:00, we figured it was time to pull out the Ouiji Board. Erik had never really used it before, it was one of those useless christmas gifts parents tend to get their kids when they have no clue what their teenager is in to. So, we pulled out the cardboard board (you can tell it's a satanic game, because of the high quality materials used in it's construction!) and lit some candels. Because evidently ghosts prefer candle light to light bulbs. For some reason. I don't know. So for your reading pleasure (terror?), here is an exact transcript of what happened when Erik and I used the infamous Oiji Board:

(insert gloomy/creepy music here)

Erik: (placing his hands on the board) Alright, let's see f we can get this thing to work.

JD: (Also placing hands on board) alrght, what do we do?

Erik: Here, put your fingertips on the triangle thingy, and I'll do the same. THen I'll ask a question.

JD: And this is how we contact ghosts?

Erik: Just do it JD!

JD: Alright, alright already (places fingertips on weird triangle thingy).

Erik: (melodramatically clears throat) Spirits of the deceased, hear my voice and listen.

JD: (snickers)

Erik: Shut-up dude, or this won't work!

JD: Sorry. Continue.

Erik: Spirits who are in this apartment. Hear me. Answer my call. Are you here?

uncomfortable pause

Erik: I demand an answer, are you here? Is there a spirit here in this apartment?

another uncomfortable pause

JD: (whispering) I don't think it's working.

Erik: Just give them some time. They'll answer. (clears throat) Spirits in this apartment. You must answer my call. Are you here?

another uncomfortable pause (almost ten minutes have now passed). Just as JD is about to say something again, the weird triangle thingy starts slowly moving.

Erik: Holy crap! Dude, are you moving that thing?

JD: No, very funnny though, you are.

The triangle thing points to the word "yes".

Erik: Sweet dude! I told you this thing would work!

JD: Dude, I don't know if this is such a good idea.

Erik: Don't be a pussy. Spirit, you have answered my first question, now answer this. What is your name?

uncomfortable paus

JD: Maybe it doesn't have a name.

Erik: Dude, shut-up. Spirit, what is your name, I demand that you answer me!

another uncomfortable pause. Then the triangle thingy starts moving again.

Erik: Crap, it's spelling something. b...a...r...o...n...b...o...b... Baron Bob? What the hell kind of name is Baron Bob?

JD: I dunno, it's your stupid Ghost.

Erik: Baron Bob, why have you come here today? Why are you in JD's apartment? (weird triangle thingy starts moving)...m...e...s...a...g...e.. mesage? You mean message/ He has a message to deliver. What is your message?

uncomfortable pause.

Erik: Baron Bob, I demand you give us your message.

uncomfortable pause. Then the triangle thingy starts moving again.

Erik: e...r...i...k...i...s...a...t...o...o...l... What the? Erik is a tool? Dammit JD. Knock it off.

JD starts to laugh

JD: Dude, it's not me, it's Baron Bob. And you are a tool. Spirits can only speak the truth!

Erik angrily starts packing up the Ouiji Board.

Erik: What a load of crap!

The rest of the evening was spent playing Halo 2. So there you have it. The terrifying report of two geeky ghost hunters. Absolutely nothing happened. How dull. Now I'm going to have to listen to Erik make fun of me for making Ghost stories up, so I could have him spend the night. I think he was hoping for some situational homosexuality. Kidding. Anyway, I'm totally nervous for tonight, and dreading it more than anything. I guess we'll see how it goes. I'll post an update as soon as I get back. Assuming I still have the will to live. :)
