英语灵异故事-Burning Down the House(烧毁房子) 02（在线收听）

The house was not old. In fact it had only one previous owner. The house was approximately 10 years old when they moved into it. It was a two-story colonial painted yellow and white located in a nice neighborhood. Michelle was in an upstairs bedroom, but not the one that the Ouija board was found in. That was made into an office due to its small size.

　　Well it got dark that night, as you could have well guessed and we turned out all the lights in her room and shut the door. Her mother knew we were going to do this, she didn't mind. We lit candles to set the mood and had a flashlight in the ready in case anything went wrong. My sister and I were using the board along with Michelle. I was so naive I didn't even know what to do. All the girls, including my sister, told me how to place my hands and how to concentrate my energy onto the board. So I did. And it wasn't long before we got a response to our questions. It was quite eerie the way this "spirit" knew things about ourselves that no one else should have. Then we started asking us to tell us what was in store for us in the future. We got all the usual responses about marriage, children, jobs and homes. But then suddenly the room grew really cold.

这栋房子其实并不古老，事实上它之前只有过一家主人。Michelle一家搬进来的时候，这栋房子只有大约十年的历史。房子是殖民地时期的建筑风格，有两层，用黄色和白色涂料粉刷而成。房子所在的小区环境很好。Michelle的房间在楼上，但并不是发现占卜板的那间。那个房间因为面积太小，被改成了一间办公室。

　　你应该能猜得到，那天晚上天黑之后，我们关掉了她房间里所有的灯，并锁上了门。她妈妈知道我们要做什么，所以就没有在意。我们点起了蜡烛，营造好气氛，还准备了一支手电筒，以防发生什么差错。我和妹妹、Michelle一起使用着占卜板。我什么也不懂，根本不知道要怎么做。其他的女孩儿们，包括我的妹妹，告诉我该如何摆放我的手，如何把能量聚集到占卜板上。我按照她们说的做了。不久，我们的问题就得到了回答。这个“灵魂” 用非常怪异的方式讲述了关于我们自己的事情，其他任何人大概都不会使用这种方式。随后我们开始请求它告诉我们未来有什么在等待着我们。对于婚姻、孩子、工作、家庭等问题，我们得到的回答都很平常，但是这时房间里忽然变得非常寒冷。
