00:00There's a reason people say you shouldn't bring a Ouija board into a place that's already haunted.

00:06This story takes place in Narberth, Pennsylvania, a town with a history older than most realize.

00:12Just on the outskirts, hidden behind overgrown weeds and crumbling stone walls,

00:16there's an abandoned church that hasn't held a service in decades.

00:20The locals whisper about it, about why it's shut down,

00:24about the strange accidents and sudden deaths tied to the congregation.

00:27Most people avoid it, but of course, for three curious friends, that was all the reason they needed to go inside.

00:36It was late in the evening when Kyle, Rachel, and Devin pulled up to the church.

00:40The building loomed in the darkness, its windows broken, its doors barely hanging on their rusted hinges.

00:47Kyle carried the Ouija board tucked under his arm, smirking.

00:51This is going to be sick, he whispered.

00:53If this place is haunted, we're going to find out.

00:56Rachel rolled her eyes, hugging her jacket close.

01:00Or we're just going to sit around talking to ourselves in a moldy church.

01:04Either way, it's dumb.

01:06Devin, always the cautious one, hesitated at the steps.

01:11Guys, what if somebody's living in there?

01:13A squatter or something?

01:15Kyle just laughed and pushed the heavy wooden door open.

01:18It groaned loudly, echoing through the hollow building.

01:22Inside, the air was damp and cold, filled with the smell of mildew and rot.

01:27Their footsteps crunched against broken glass as they made their way toward what was once the altar.

01:33They set up in the very front, in a wide open space where dust floated to the light of their flashlights.

01:39Kyle laid down the Ouija board on a broken pew, and the three of them sat cross-legged around it.

01:44Rachel sighed, but placed her fingers on the planchette anyway.

01:49Devin did the same, his hands shaking slightly.

01:52Kyle, grinning, set his fingertips on the wood and said,

01:55Okay, let's do this.

01:57They began with the usual.

01:59Is anyone here with us?

02:01At first, nothing happened.

02:03The silence of the church was heavier than expected.

02:06The only sound was the distant creak of old beams and rafters.

02:10Then, slowly, the planchette began to move.

02:14Rachel frowned.

02:16Kyle, are you doing this?

02:17He shook his head.

02:18Not me.

02:20The planchette spelled out a single word.

02:22Yes.

02:23Devin swallowed hard.

02:25His eyes darted toward the dark corners of church.

02:28But he didn't pull away.

02:30Kyle leaned closer, his grin widening.

02:33What's your name?

02:34He asked.

02:35The planchette moved again, scraping against the board.

02:38M.R.K., Rachel whispered.

02:41Mark?

02:42Like, Father Mark?

02:44The priest?

02:45The name sounded familiar.

02:47Years ago, before the church closed down, there had been rumors about the pastor.

02:52Something about misconduct.

02:54Maybe even darker things, though no one in town would ever say it out loud.

02:58Before they could ask another question, a loud crack echoed through the church.

03:03It sounded like a gunshot or a beam snapping in half.

03:06The three of them froze.

03:07Devin nearly jumped his feet.

03:10What the hell was that?

03:11He whispered.

03:12The sound seemed to come from above.

03:14Somewhere in the rafters.

03:16Their flashlights swung upward.

03:18But all they saw were shadows and broken wood.

03:21Rachel's voice was shaking.

03:23Guys, maybe we should just go.

03:26Kyle shook his head.

03:28It's nothing.

03:29Just the building settling.

03:31Let's keep going.

03:31But the uneasy silence that followed told them it wasn't just a building.

03:37Something felt wrong.

03:38Before they could continue, a rock, about the size of a fist, came tumbling out of the shadows and landed on the pew beside them.

03:46All three screamed.

03:47Rachel scrambled to her feet first.

03:50Nope.

03:51I'm out.

03:51Devin didn't need convincing.

03:54He bolted toward the door.

03:56Kyle grabbed the Ouija board.

03:58But in his panic, he dropped it back onto the pew.

04:01The three of them ran out of the church.

04:03Hearts pounding.

04:04Their flashlights bouncing wildly against cracked stone walls as they made their escape into the night.

04:10Outside.

04:11They stood gasping for air in the tall weeds.

04:14Devin's face was pale.

04:16Somebody's in there.

04:17He said breathlessly.

04:19Somebody threw that.

04:21Kyle shook his head.

04:22No way.

04:23We would have heard footsteps.

04:25Seen something.

04:26That rocked and just fall.

04:29Rachel hugged her arms tightly.

04:31I don't care.

04:32I'm not going back in there.

04:34But after a few minutes of standing in the dark, the adrenaline started to wear off.

04:39Kyle, ever the stubborn one, said,

04:42We can't just leave it.

04:43I left the board in there.

04:45Rachel stared at him like he was insane.

04:48Are you serious?

04:49After what just happened,

04:51It's mine, he said firmly.

04:53I'm not leaving it behind.

04:55Reluctantly, Rachel and Devin followed him back up the broken steps,

05:00through the heavy doors, and into the church once again.

05:03The air felt heavier this time, like the entire building was holding its breath.

05:08They made their way back to the altar.

05:10Kyle's flashlight cut across the pew, where he had dropped the board.

05:15His stomach dropped.

05:16It was gone.

05:18The Ouija board wasn't there.

05:20Not on the pew.

05:21Not on the floor.

05:22Not anywhere.

05:23Rachel's voice cracked.

05:25Kyle, where is it?

05:26Devin spun in circles, shining his light across the church.

05:31This isn't funny, man.

05:33Where do you put it?

05:34I didn't put it anywhere.

05:36Kyle snapped.

05:37His voice was shaking now.

05:38The three of them stood there in the silence of the ruined church,

05:42realizing together that something or someone had taken the board while they were outside.

05:47Then, just as the fear settled into their bones,

05:50the faintest sound drifted down from the rafters.

05:54It was the scraping of wood against wood.

05:56Slow.

05:57Deliberate.

05:58Like a planchette moving across a board.

06:01Rachel let out a choke scream and bolted for the door.

06:04Devin was right behind her.

06:06Kyle froze for only a moment, his flashlight shaking in his hand,

06:10before he too turned and sprinted into the night.

06:14None of them ever went back to that church again.

06:16And to this day, the Ouija board has never been found.
