Spirit Board

This is a story told to me by a close friend . . . 

My Sister-in-law, Jenny, was playing with a Ouija board.  There had been an ongoing rumor in our family that Jenny was a witch.  My mother told Jenny, "Don't mess with those things, they are very powerful.  They open doors to the other side that you sometimes can't close."  Jenny ignored my mothers warning.

Jenny and my brother had a baby, Nancy, who was sleeping in her crib upstairs on the second floor.  Jenny was at work and my brother was downstairs and heard the baby crying.  He went upstairs and saw on the baby's head; blood.  He touched the baby's head but didn't see any cuts.  Then, my brother felt a damp splat on his hand.  He looks up and see's blood, or what looks like blood, dripping from the ceiling.  He moves the baby's crib into another room, cleans the baby.  He goes into the attic but can't find any thing that's spilled.  There was nothing above the baby's room.  No boxes, no cans of paint or chemicals, nothing. 

My brother tells our Mom about it and she says, "you need to get rid of that Ouija board."  My brother takes the board out back to burn it in the trash.  I was there, and it would not burn.  He poured gasoline on it and it hardly burned, it just smoked.  While the flames seemed to only burn the gasoline, we heard a scream, a screech that came from the board!

After the flames died, my brother took an axe to it.  The board was finally destroyed.  There were no more incidents in the house.
