As a kid growing up on an isloated island we made our own fun and many of us were attracted to doing ouija boards and channeling, my older brother and his friends were heavily into it and i joined in for fun, being to young to really understand it all. I went through around a two year period where i did these things nearly daily and a great many things happened that make me believe in a connection between planes, thinking about it now makes my eyes well as I remember it all.

The one experience i could never explain was a night where we spoke with a friend of my brothers - "P", while he was "sleeping" on his couch at home, 10 miles from where we were. This time i was not with my brother but three of my friends who were as equally freaked out as I was. We never spoke of it again, not trusting that one of the others werent faking it.
About 7 years later after i have moved away from the island i was home and at a dance and i bumped into "P". We spoke for a bit, catching up on the gossip and such when he turned round and said he was surprised that i had never ever mentioned the time we had spoken on the ouija board, I was so shocked i nearly started to cry. I said that i hadnt really believed it had happened or understood how it could have and he explained he had been practicing "astral projection" and as we were using a board he himself had used many times he could channel to it.

I have spoken with family members that had passed, seen objects move and felt the presence of another inside myself. I look back and feel i was foolish to "play" with such things as a child and i have no desire to do so now or again in the future as it is not something to do, properly, lightly.

As for actually seeing a ghost, I never have and always wanted to, though now i dont think i could handle it.
