Many strange things happened after April, her boyfriend, and her roommates messed with the Ouija board. This incident is just another one. One evening, April was alone in the apartment and reading in her bedroom. Next to her bed on the nightstand was a vase with a dozen dried roses she saved from a special occasion. While trying to read, she kept hearing footsteps in the hallway. The footsteps would not let up and she started hearing other noises as well. It sounded like things were being moved, like furniture sliding across the floor. April yelled out and got no answer. Frightened and unsure of what was going on, she managed to muster up some bravery and went to investigate the noises. She started in the living room, then the kitchen and moved down the hall to the bedrooms. She was yelling “hello” and hoping to get an answer from a roommate, but heard nothing. After checking out her roommates’ bedrooms, she looked in the bathroom and found nothing there as well. The apartment door was locked as well as the sliding glass door, and no one else was in the apartment with her. She went back to the kitchen, got something to drink and headed back to her bedroom. As she got near her door, she saw the dozen dried roses lying in the center of her doorway as if someone put them there. Completely startled and scared, she turned around, got her keys and left the apartment. She called her roommates and told them what happened and to call her when they were headed home. She would wait for them outside and they would all go in together. When she finally got back inside the apartment, the roses were still there in the doorway. After that incident and many other strange occurrences, they decided it was time to move.This is the last of the stories April told me. I am hoping to get with her soon to hear some more.
