This Ouija Board Session Went Too Far…ABACUS OUIJA DEMON COMMUNICATION
In Search of the Paranormal LIVE · December 8, 2014 · 17:13
During our paranormal investigation at the historic Old Washoe Club in Virginia City, Nevada, our session took a dark and chilling turn at the spirit board. Architectural records date the commercial building to the early 1860s, but beyond the local mining lore and saloon legends, our focus was consumed by intense Ouija board responses and direct demon communication.
Following an earlier ghost box session referencing a spirit known as Abacus, the planchette began moving aggressively. When prompted for identification, it repeatedly spelled out A-B-A-C-U-S before confirming 'YES'. As the questions intensified, the entity communicated in unsettling backwards patterns.
The planchette reversed its own name, spelling S-U-C-A-B-A, followed by ominous reverse phrases including L-L-I-K (kill), S-O-N F-O N-A-M (Son of Man), D-O-G (God), and H-T-A-E-D (death). When asked directly whether we were speaking with a human spirit or an inhuman entity, the board spelled D-E-M-O, later spelling S-L-E-G I-O, interpreted as Bad Legion.
The session quickly shifted from verbal questions to documented physical distress. After asking whether the entity intended harm, the board spelled W-A-I-T. Almost immediately, Tim Wood reported severe physical pain on camera, describing his back as feeling like it was twisting into pretzels, followed by sudden dizziness and room-spinning sensations as the planchette moved across the letters G-E-M. While historical records document the saloon's origins and 1870s club gatherings, these dramatic board interactions reflect raw, unedited participant reports captured during our live investigation.
