Hi kangers so sorry for your loss.

SpringFollows · 17/06/2011 23:01

Oh, yes and thought the same LadyFlump (jealous alert. :) )

Anyone donea ouija board? My mum is dead scared of them as she has a scary story about one from childhood. And I mean its the ONLY thing she has told me not to do. We had a teacher who once did an assembly about them as there was a run of them at school and a lad hanged himself as he was 'possessed'.

QueeferSutherland · 17/06/2011 23:02

Aw, that's sweet, Spring.

Shock, Flump!

MumblingRagDoll · 17/06/2011 23:03

Nothing has happened to me but I am literally frozen with fear at night. Blush I just dont look...and I think my imagination makes me feel like I am being watched.

LadyFlumpalot · 17/06/2011 23:03
Blush

I've always been a skinny minnie anyway, but chronic heartburn killed my appetite for the last trimester of pregnancy, and I was too tired and busy to even consider eating anything worthwhile after I gave birth...Also BFeeding pulled everything back in really quickly (oh my god - the cramps!)

I'm enjoying having the BFeeding boobage though!

kangers · 17/06/2011 23:03

sorry- unintended pun considering thread and mil- 'dead scared'.

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:04

A few weeks before I had my ds my ornament of an owl started moving around the shelf, no one saw it moved we just saw it in a different position. Then the night before I went into labour, dh, dd and I were all in the bathroom when the mirror fell off the wall and smashed. My ds needed resuciated twice, was found to have a heart condition and subsequently down syndrome. As he was coming up to 7 I was really worried for him, however again all 4 of us went upstairs when unexpectedly another mirror smashed. The past 10 years have been a really long hard slog and the fight continues.

BootyMum · 17/06/2011 23:04

Oh yes Kangers, so sorry to be so shallow and flippant when you have just had a loss Blush. But I hope in some small way we can keep you company whilst you are without your DH.

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:05

yes kangers I have done a few and been present as a child when my mam used to do them, obviously without her knowing.

LadyFlumpalot · 17/06/2011 23:05

Kangers - Please don't do a board. I got laughed at last time I said this on MN but they are dangerous on many levels.

If you believe they can let "hitchhikers" through. Even if you don't believe, they can get into your head...

kangers · 17/06/2011 23:06

devient that must just be coincidence- so sorry for your ongoing struggle, but not sure what role mirror played- not predicting or causing DS problems surely- what do you think?

SpringFollows · 17/06/2011 23:07

Yes, the boards are very very very dangerous, no-one should do them. Really. Best avoided, even if you think it is all harmless fun. It really isn't.

3littlefrogs · 17/06/2011 23:07

TakeMeDrunkImHome - sorry just come back to this. I know exactly what you mean. It is a bit like opening a door I think. Most of the time I am so busy that the door stays closed, but if I sit quietly and think, or if I get into conversation with other people who understand/share the experience, the atmosphere changes and I can "feel" the presence of others. In fact I just felt it very strongly as I type this, so yes, I think they are very aware IYSWIM.

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:07

7 years bad luck

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 17/06/2011 23:07

Kangers - DON'T, PLEASE, use a ouija board. They are really really dangerous. If you don't believe in anything at all then just consider it silly and juvenile and don't use one, if you do, then don't do it. The fucking ouija board is the reason behind my aforementioned "bad experience". DON'T, please.

ddubsgirl · 17/06/2011 23:07

had a few when i lived with my flat mate,very creepy,wasnt nice ghosts,and my friends houses is haunted and had alot of stuff going on lately,even my son saw it when staying there.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 17/06/2011 23:08

3littlefrogs - I have been quiet for a while as I had "listeners" and I didn't like it. Smile

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:08

I agree don't do one as they are dangerous. Any spirit can come through though dead or alive, it just needs to be troubled.

kangers · 17/06/2011 23:10

Flumpalot- I agree.
Not planning on doing one- the only thing that I am very respectful of.
bootymum you're not being shallow or flippant or anyone else- all fine and great with you all. My daughter is playing music instead of watching TV (V weird) she saw dead grandma earlier and being a bit too nice for my liking.

kangers · 17/06/2011 23:13

devient realise 7 yrs idea but surely not involved in something as profound as what you describe with you DS.

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:15

sorry kangers I'm just a sarcastic person at times, in a joke sort of way.....not that I mean he's a joke either. Just thought maybe it was a warning in hindsight.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 17/06/2011 23:17

devient - might be silly question, but what happened to the owl ornament that moved? did you keep it?

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:18

tmhid yes I still have it but it's in a box, I don't have any ornaments around. Ds has challenging behaviour and is great at throwing. Why??

devientenigma · 17/06/2011 23:18

sorry I said your name wrong
