But according to some who have tried, making contact was only the beginning. Drawn from accounts shared by American and British servicemen, these stories describe Ouija sessions in barracks, an abandoned military morgue, and the historic streets of Tombstone, Arizona — encounters followed by shadow figures, unexplained phenomena, apparent possession, and even a chilling warning of a soldier’s death.
