"The ladies were allowed to have a holiday party and were given a full hour for lunch before going back to work. One of the women in the group brought a Ouija board for entertainment."
I received the following account:
"Hello. Lon. I have a great respect for the Ouija which began after a story my great-aunt, Margaret Brunner, had told me when I was young.
In the early 1940s, my aunt worked at the Philadelphia Naval Yard, inspecting equipment and various items for the war effort. At the time she worked there, a woman had recently come to the United States from Poland. The woman spoke very broken English but was hired because a few other women employed there spoke both English and Polish well enough to translate for her.
There was a small group of very close women, including my aunt and the bilingual ladies. They would sit together at lunch break and sometimes go for coffee after work since many of their husbands were overseas. Almost immediately after the new Polish woman began working at the Yard, the ladies invited her to join them. My aunt said the woman was always very kind, "rather even-tempered, and not prone to emotional outbursts."
One evening, around Christmas, the ladies were allowed to have a holiday party and were given a full hour for lunch before going back to work. One of the women in the group brought a Ouija board for entertainment. The Polish woman had never seen a Ouija board before and watched as my aunt, who was known for being a greater "connector," and another woman worked the board, and a third woman recorded the letters and any pauses with a slash. In the third round, the group asked the Polish woman to ask the next question.
According to my aunt, the woman was very skeptical so in Polish she asked, "I don't believe any of this so make me believe." With that, the planchette began moving very quickly. The woman assigned to write the letters remarked that something was wrong, that "the spirit must be angry" because the letters made no sense. The planchette stopped just as suddenly as it had started. The woman went to the recorder and asked to see what was written. My aunt said that it looked like nonsense, "a jumble of letters," but before anyone could respond the Polish woman screamed and ran from the break room crying. Everyone was rather confused until one of the bi-lingual women deciphered the message. It didn't make sense to my aunt because it was written in Polish (According to my aunt, the woman recording the letters was Italian) The message, once translated, read "Go home your mother is dead."
The Polish woman did not report the next day, the foreman stated that her mother had passed away the previous morning and that a collection would be taken up for the family. Needless to say, the other women never "played" with the Ouija again and the Polish woman quit shortly just after." TDN
