70's Seance ruins Dinner
To this day my mum and dad both swear this actually happened:

In the early 70's, and at my Godparents house for some drink and dinner - my parents and G-parents proceeded to enjoy a little light hearted Seancery to break up the evening. It all started innocently enough. The usual 'yes' and 'no' responses. Then things started to liven up a little when the board then came out with 'Oven. On' - to which the smell of burning roast chicken began wafting through to the dining room informing my Godmother that she had indeed left the oven on for too long, and the chicken was infact burnt and unedible.
Apparently, it then started to mention my Godfathers brother who had indeed passed away a few years previous, which proved upsettling news for him to the extent he then shouted out "Bollocks to this! The only Spirits I believe in are here in this glass!", and it was at that point apparently that one of the champagne glasses on the table then shot forwards off the table, shattering upon impact when it hit the wall.
I think it was at this point that spines began to tingle somewhat, and in true theatrical manner my mum shouts out "Enoughs enough now. Prove yourself!" to which the ouija board simply spelt out -

'Look. Behind. The Curtain.'

Everyone freaked out and ran from the room slamming the door behind them.
The facts are a little vague, as I always loved this story as a kid. It plays out like a decent horror movie which knows when to end itself without the need of some shit twist in the final act.
I'll never know if this *really* did happen or not, all I know is that both parents (now divorced) both swear that this *did* indeed happen - and in my head I'd like to keep it that way.

'Look. Behind. The Curtain.'
Maybe they were watching The Wizard of Oz

Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Click your heels three times if you are with us.
There's a very simple algorithm for ouija boards and seances:

Is it the 19th Century?
No.
Are you under 12?
No.
Then you're a dick. Turn the fucking glass over and put some booze in it.

You dick.

But Mary Loves Dick
Derek Acorah said so, so it must be real.

you'd think that they'd be able to reach that conclusion for themselves

I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that some of the people on the internet
might be complete fucking idiots.
