Summary
In these true scary stories, we’ll hear from Vanessa who retells her experience in joining a group of friends to use the ouija board. When that didn’t work, they turned to a ghost box (a spirit communication device), and they were able to contact the other side. Unfortunately for them, the session turned hostile.
In the second story, Kristy tells us about a childhood encounter in a remote house where someone, or something, was moving objects in the dark. It was until much later when Kristy and her cousins learned of the tragic reasons behind the occurrences.
