...I'm a young teenager traveling with my favorite aunt from somewhere in Illinois, to visit another aunt and uncle, who lived in a roughly two-hundred year old house, next to an abandoned church. The house was where the minister(s) lived back when the church was active, which was apparently up until the early 1920s.

There was a GRAVEYARD behind the house, with grave markers dating from the 1700s until the early 1920s.

My cousin - I'll call her "Dana" - was 4 years older than me, had a collection of occult books and magazines, and a Ouija board.

We started working with the Ouija board, and at some point, it started spelling out answers to questions with neither my cousin or myself being in any physical contact with the planchette, as it's called.

Just like in the 2016 movie Ouija: Origin of Evil.

Later that night, as I laid on a foldout bed/cot with a thin "mattress," covered with a single sheet - it was a warm summer night - the sheet started to be pulled off of me from my feet, one inch at a time, until it was down to my ankles.

It was weird and somewhat terrifying.

I left the cot and went to the next room where my aunt was sleeping, and told her I was going to sleep on the floor.

Over 20 years later, I saw the aunt/uncle that lived in the haunted house, I told them the story, and they agreed with me that strange things had happened there.

For example, they were afraid to go down into the basement, so they left it empty the entire time they lived there.

The End.
