Despite warnings from their grandma, they continued to play with it until eventually, it was taken to a community college where it was discarded, putting an end to the cycle of bad luck.

When the tree was removed, this spirit became restless and roamed the backyard and house. The mother continued to have the house blessed by monks and made offerings to this spirit in the form of food, cigarettes, and alcohol, eventually leading to its departure when the mother prayed and felt a gust of wind.

In another house, where the speaker grew up, there were spirits of their deceased cousins and other entities that caused disturbances.

These events left a lasting impression on the speaker, who felt a sense of unease and the presence of spirits in both houses.

The family's experiences are considered bizarre by doctors and outsiders, and the speaker cannot definitively say whether the Ouija board brought in more spirits or simply opened a doorway to those already present.
Family backgrounds shape experiences with spirits: People's encounters with spirits can be influenced by their family backgrounds and personal boundaries.
The presence of spirits in people's lives can vary greatly depending on their family backgrounds.

The speaker also shared that a psychic once visited their house and offered to help, but they didn't take her seriously at the time. However, they later wondered if they should have trusted her judgment. The speaker's aunt, who is also sensitive to spirits, had asked why they brought the psychic to their house. It's important to note that trust and personal boundaries play a significant role in how people respond to such experiences. The speaker expressed that they are protective of their personal space and trust very few people enough to invite them into their home. This is a personal preference, but it's worth considering that different people may have different ways of dealing with spiritual experiences and the people they bring in to help them.
Childhood home filled with paranormal activity after suspicious woman visited: Speaker experienced unexplained voices and presence of a woman resembling their mother in childhood home, possibly linked to items brought by a suspicious woman
The speaker experienced paranormal activity in their childhood home, starting around the time they encountered a suspicious woman who brought items to their house. The activity included hearing multiple voices speaking in unclear English, and there was also a sensation of a woman resembling the speaker's mother being present in the room during a video call. The speaker's friend, who was with them during some of these experiences, described this woman as looking like their mother, but with her hair down, which was not how the speaker's mother appeared at the time. The speaker believes that this woman may have tricked them, and the paranormal activity may have started after she brought items to their house. The speaker also notes that the voices they heard were not in a clear language, and they are unsure where these entities came from or what they might represent. Overall, the speaker's experiences suggest that they encountered some kind of supernatural presence in their childhood home.

Despite checking their surroundings and not seeing anyone, the speaker's parents' room having a large window, the caller insisting they were in the room added to the creepiness. The speaker also mentions their past experiences with an Ouija board, which they believe may have been the source of some negative occurrences. During these sessions, the board would make predictions about relationships and even make inappropriate comments towards one of the speaker's friends.
