Well 4 years ago I was at my grandmas on a visit. Now my Gran is a SERIOUSLY honest person, the somewhat over-sincere type. She also happens to genuinely believe (as I now believe she is) that she is genuinely 100% mystic, or a channel if yoiu will. This doeant mean she's psychic, it apparently means that she can act as a conduit for spirits and attracts them somehow (dont ask me the full details i only know what ive heard from her and read up on). Anyway shes always told me about strange stuff thats happened to her to do with ghosts and stuff, and as i was really interested in that type of stuff we had a long talk about it. Ouija boards came up in conversation and I asked her if she'd ever done one. She said she had but they were not to be messed with but being me I begged her to show me, and to be honest I didnt really think it would work it was more a curiousity thing.
Anyway, she got one of the "proper" ouija boards out, hand-crafted and it looked pretty old to me. I asked her how it worked and she said that we simply both placed one finger ewach on the glass tumbler that was placed in the middle of the board and she would ask the board questions, and try to attract a spirit. Feeling a little nervous now i placed my finger on the tumbler with her and... nothing... nothing happened at all for about 4 minutes of sitting there with me beginning to smirk a little. However my Gran hadnt moved and had her eyes closed, so I asked her if it would work. She opened her eyes and just said "be patient and watch". OK i thought and waited a minute longer. Then all of a sudden the small glass tumbler started moving firmly and at a consistent rate to the letters around the board. Of course this made me jump more than a little and I watched the glass spell out the word "EDEN".
The significance of that is that it is my Grandmothers maiden name, and I. just sat there feeling really weird as she asked it "Who are you?" To which it replied (by moving the tumbler to the letters) "CEDRICK". Now Cedrick is my Grandmothers Great-Grandfather, something i didnt know at the time. I looked at my Gran and she just sat there looking really calm and started asking it/him questions like how was he doing in heaven and all this really crazy shlt to which he replied "BEEN SITTING IN THE GARDEN AND HAVE HAD A HARD DAY AT WORK" By this time I was like WTF is going on here, and everytime the glass tumbler moved I "tested" it for any foul-play by exerting pressure against the glass so if that my gran was in any way pushing it it would naturally slow down, but believe me the glass tumbler did not slow down and kept moving at the EXACT same rate, added to which my gran's finger was only barely touching the glass, just resting on it. This was going on for about 10 minutes altogether, and as the minutes went by i noticed the tumbler started to jerk erratically and started whirring round in circles. I asked my Gran why and she said that his time had expired here, apparently he could only come to talk for a short time, so she said some sort of prayer type things and "Goid bless, rest in peace" etc etc and it ended.
After asking my Nan loads of questions in a slightly strained voice she calmly told me that heaven was in some ways like life on earth, people worked, never got ill or died, never suffered from crime (after all if theres a heaven there must be a hell right?) and were perfectly content. She said had contacted Cedrick before several times she told me and every time he said that he'd been in the garden or at work (didnt say what he worked as). As I was starting to ask her more the doorbell rang (it was my Mum back from shopping) and my Gran said my mum was a little funny about things like that so not to tell her.
Anyway to cut an overly long story short, everthing i have described above is the absolute truth as i saw it, i wouldnt take the time to write something like this if I was full of shlt im not the type of person to, and if you dont believe it, hell i dont blame you neither would i if i hadnt have seen it for myself. Needless to say it has sparked a real fvcking curiousity in this sort of thing and its something i want to test again in the future, i just havent had time alone with my Gran as all my family have been there (I see her once every 2 years). But anyway i now believe its the real-deal, and as someone who was once skeptical of this thing to say the least (Im a "believe it when I see it" type person) this was a very big thing for me. Anyway, make your own mind up ive said my (bloody LONG) piece.
