PRESTON TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY HE WENT OVER TO VISIT A FRIEND
WHO HAD ORDERED AN OUIJA BOARD FROM A MAIL-ORDER MAGIC COMPANY.
HE SAID THAT AS HIS FRIEND WAS USING THE OUIJA BOARD, WEIRD
VOICES BEGAN FLOATING OUT OF IT, AND THE POINTER BEGAN MOVING
BY ITSELF. HIS FRIEND WAS SO TERRIFIED THAT HE PICKED UP
THE OUIJA BOARD, TOOK IT OUT BACK, BROKE IT UP, AND THREW IT
INTO THE TRASH. EVER SINCE THEN, HIS FRIEND HAS BEEN VERY
NERVOUS ABOUT EVERY STRANGE NOISE, AND WILL NOT TALK ABOUT
THE INCIDENT.
