A Ouija Board Warning

Reddit user snaptitude shared this story the other day, and I thought it was interesting enough to pass along.

At about the age of 12, he was using a Ouija board that had belonged to his friend’s great grandmother. At first, it was the usual Ouija experience. But things changed.

“I’m not really someone who’s going to get scared by these things, nor am I a devout believer of them. But this time… it was different. Every time I contacted a spirit, instead of saying anything, as soon as we touched the pointer it would fly back and forth, spelling ‘ZNZ’ over and over again.”

Finally, we tried calling our grandfather who had passed away recently. And I couldn’t get properly a hold of him, but he kept on giving out random numbers and dates. I wrote them all down on a piece of construction paper I had. The last thing he said was ‘Zachery’…”

“A lot of the things said didn’t seem to make sense. And the date wasn’t something that was going to take place for what seemed like a long while.”

Later, these cryptic messages would begin to make sense.


“A few months later I was Ouija-ing again with some friends, and this time I was given more details to the situation. They said that this ZNZ would be the cause of my death…

They told me the situation. He was a pilot. When I got home, I brought out that piece of paper from where it was shoved in some notebook, and it started to make more sense. There was a latitude and longitude on it, as well as the number of people who he was going to kill. That was supposedly my ‘fate’. I didn’t think anything of it. The latitude and longitude said I would be somewhere around Florida.”

As strange as it was, however, over time the details passed out of sight, out of mind. Until one day, several years later.

“Well, when I was 17 my mother told me that we were going back to visit the island that I grew up on- in the Caribbean. I was excited, it was great news…

I had a great time down there, visiting old friends and such.

Our connection flight on the way back was in Miami. I was sitting in the airport and it suddenly came back to me. Because I always remembered what that paper had said. And I was sitting at the Miami International Airport on the same day that paper told me almost 5 years previously.

I remember my heart rate spiking up, and getting butterflies, but I calmed down. I wasn’t scared. I boarded that plane.”

“We were all sitting in our seats, waiting, because the flight was being delayed. When suddenly the captain’s voice came on the loudspeaker, like always, and tells us about the approximate landing time, weather, etc- and introduced himself as Zachery Zeji (sp?). Z (N?) Z.

I was shocked at that. But what was I going to do? Tell my mom and brother we had to get off the plane? I didn’t really believe this was a premonition that could exist. I didn’t say anything. Still, the plane did not take off. Then, suddenly, we were told we had to change planes because during the last check, they found a fault in the engine.

Normally they would just check the records to see if it had been reported and looked at previously, if it’s a dent or something and the flights wouldn’t change. But no; we all had to get off the plane and get reassigned to different flights because they didn’t believe the problem could be fixed quickly enough for everyone to make their connections.

Call it coincidence, call it creepy, call it fake or whatever you want to. I just find it to be an interesting story I went through to share with paranormal junkies like myself :)”
 
Optional Exit Points

What really drew me to this story was a comment left by another Redditor.

“I’ve read that there are optional “exit points” through our lives that we set up before we incarnate. They might be what you call close calls or near misses. Perhaps an entity in the hereafter was giving you a heads up and ultimately you opted to stay in the game of life.

Another angle is, entities can see multidimensional realities and possibilities and this was the one most likely to materialize, but who knows?”

Near misses. Multidimensional realities. Probabilities.

Coincidences.

Every day we make choices. Every day we roll dice. Lucky for snaptitude, the warning he received from that old Ouija board didn’t come to pass. Perhaps, in another universe, he wasn’t so lucky.
