Ever since I was young, till now, I do believe in paranormal. When I was in high school, my friends and I use to go to this park where lots of kids go and just chill after school. 1/4 of the area was mostly woods but never looked scary to me. So, after school we usually just sit and chat and tell stories about boys, enemies and what not... I had this girl of a friend who is quite very timid and calm and her name was Darlene... As we all chit chat about our day in school, she suddenly changed the topic and starts asking us if we ever did play "Spirits of the coin" ( it's a hand made Ouija that can be used with plain paper and a coin) I never ever heard of this thing she mentioned but for me it was quite interesting since paranormal never did happened to me or did it? Well, as the others go on explaining what it was, it said it was to contact spirits and that it could be fun. In my head I really wanted to try and see if it was real and I was pretty much curious about it. So, that night I couldn't wait to try this spirits of the coin thing to call the dead. So, I waited for my mom to go to bed and stayed in the living room watching tv while I was preparing the sheet and writing down letters from A-Z and numbers 0-9 and wrote down the word YES MAYBE NO and added to that Hi! And BYE. The clock strikes at 12:00am, lighted up the candles, turned of the TV, sited on the floor while the sheet was i front of me. I put my finger on the coin over the sheet and started to pray the Our Father, as I was done with the prayer I whispered " is there any sprits around me? " Then a few seconds I felt a strong breeze and heard a child's laugh. I stopped, pulled out my finger from the coin and got a little scared and thought where did that child laugh come from? It can't be the neighbor's kid because its already past there bed time so that couldn't be them. I stood up and went over to the window to check if there was people outside with a kid, but it was pretty much dead silent and just cleaned up and went to bed. The next day, me and my friends went and watch our guy friends over at the local gym for a basketball game. Most of us was at the cafeteria watching from the upstairs. We laugh talked about the usual but Darlene was pretty quiet and doesn't move and was just staring down the table without her eyes flinching... We tried calling her and shaking her but didn't react. I run downstairs and called one of our friend and came back up with her to check on Darlene, and she suddenly look back
