Geocache Description:

Please don't search for this at night, head torches would not be welcomed, see attributes.

In the 1980s, a group of college girls were huddled in a circle in the middle of a college room using a Ouija board, their fingers just barely touching the planchette as it slid around the board in a lazy figure eight motion. The fourth girl was pacing back and forth near the doorway.


Anne was considered a local Ouija expert on the small college campus. The odds were good that on any given Saturday, a Ouija session would be in progress. On this particular Saturday night, the group of four girls immediately made contact with a restless spirit. The moment the planchette moved, Melissa, who had never used the Ouija board before, was convinced that it was demonic. She immediately jumped up and began pacing by the doorway, refusing to touch the plastic piece again. After asking the entity its name, it responded with, “N-O". Asking it a second time, it responded even quicker as the plastic pointer raced back to “NO" again.


Misty, a short-haired blonde sitting to Anne’s right, leaned forward and whispered, “Why?" The board made a few more figure eight sweeps and stopped, almost as though it was considering the question. Finally, it slowly spelled out, “K-I-L-L-E-D M-Y-S-E-L-F" and then started to move in a faster figure eight as though agitated. Misty gave Anne a confused look, and asked, “Where?" It spelled out its answer: “I-N T-H-E B-A-T-H-R-O-O-M".


"Oh my God," Melissa said, and she opened the door and bolted from the room. The other two girls, also first-timers, couldn’t take it anymore. They stood up, their eyes filled with terror, and raced out of the room. Anne looked at Misty with a smirk.

"Well I guess that’s a wrap," she chuckled, shaking her head. She looked at the board and said “Goodbye". With just the two girls touching the planchette, it moved more slowly, but eventually it dragged itself to spell out "H-E-L-P-M-E" and then stopped moving.

 


The next morning, as all of the girls were getting ready in their rooms, they heard a loud scream from the downstairs bathroom. They all ran into the bathroom to find Melissa standing in front of the mirror, dripping wet and wearing only a towel, one hand over her mouth in horror. In the steamed up mirror, a fingertip had scratched the terrible words “HELP ME". All of the girls ran out of the bathroom, screaming at the top of their lungs.


The next day, a team of three janitors examined the mirror closely and uncovered a small note written by the girl who killed herself in the bathroom, it said "For the reader of this message and anyone who reads its text will be haunted by me until you break the curse and find my souls final resting place, you need to concentrate on a Ouiji board to HELP ME i will talk to you". The mirror then shattered and a terrible cry for help could be heard for miles around.

 

 

You have now read the text can you break your curse?
