The Ouija Board Incident

• 💡 In March 1990, 16-year-old Estefania Gutierrez and friends used a Ouija board with a glass, attempting to contact a deceased friend.
• ⚠️ During the session, a spirit claimed to be Estefania's grandfather, and the glass shattered, releasing a strange smoke that entered Estefania.
• 🚪 A teacher, Dolores Molina, witnessed the event and quit her job shortly after, reportedly due to the paranormal activity.
