[00:34.88]Once we had finished making it,
[00:37.11]we started off with a few virgin¹ white candles
[00:40.28]around us in a circle.
[00:42.79]Now, I don't know how correct this book
[00:45.92]that we had was,
[00:47.34]but it said to put at least 4 virgin (never used) candles
[00:51.35]around us in a circle
[00:53.11]and sit in the middle of them with the board² between us.
[00:57.62]We started off just by asking the normal silly questions
[01:01.45]that 14-year-old girls ask.
[01:04.65]Who will I marry? Am I going to be successful?
[01:08.46]Will I have kids? Yadda yadda yadda...
[01:12.57]Anyhow, whether this part was real
[01:15.13]or it was just Cynthia moving the cursor around on her own
[01:19.75]trying to freak me out, I'd never know.
[01:23.55]To this day she still denies³ it.
[01:26.14]So, I kind of believe her that it wasn't her.
[01:30.84]But the cursor started going clockwise
[01:34.67]in circles around the board.
[01:37.06]I got the bright idea to ask
[01:39.22]"Is there a spirit⁴ that is trying to contact⁵ us?"
[01:42.83]the cursor went to 'yes'.
[01:45.50]At first Cynthia and I were excited.
[01:48.94]Maybe we had actually found a spirit to talk to!
[01:52.85]So then I asked, "Are you a good spirit?"
[01:56.07]The cursor went to 'no'.
[01:59.15]This freaked us out just a little bit, but we just kept going.
[02:03.52]It's just a ghost right?
[02:06.26]It'll go away when we're done with the board. Right? Wrong.
