As a kid, strange things would always occur in our old house...like most kids though I swore my basement was haunted....I actually still do today even at 29 years old! Well, one day, my older brother found an Oweji Board that was hidden in the rafters of our basement that looked like it had been there for years. I was only about 9 years old at the time and was too scared to play. But my brother and cousin, who were 12 and 13 at the time gave it a shot. I don't know what happened in the basement, but the two of them soon came running like maniacs upstairs shouting for my Mom. They were freaked out totally. Our Mom did take the "game" away and asked where they got it from. Both my parents never saw the game before and figured it must of been left by the people we brought the house from years ago. It wasn't the modern average day Oweji Board either, it was an antique one. So being that my Mom is a very superstitious person she didn't want such an old game in her home, but she was reluctant to throw it away. So for the time being, our Dad suggested he put it far back in the rafters again. To make a long story short, about 2 years past, and strange things were still occuring in our home...my entire family felt it. So we called a priest to bless all the rooms of our home. As soon as he entered the basement, he said he felt something cold. He then said, I kid you not, "Do you have a board down here?" My Mom immediately remembered the rafters. I still remember the priest's words exactly to this day when he took hold of the board, "evil lurks among us, and if you look for evil, evil will find you." He ended up taking the Oweji board with him when he left. And I have never played, nor do I intend to play with a Oweji Board ever...they totally freak me out too!
