I don't have an explanation for this - not saying it was paranormal but I don't know what to attribute this to. Long story made really short: Party at my grandparent's house and someone was playing with a Ouija board. Several people claimed it was moving. I thought (and mostly still think) Ouijas are pretty stupid. I broke the board over my knee to provoke "the spirits". The entire house lost power instantly. No joke, not bullshitting. Things on different breakers- every part of the house. We hauled ass outside to the front lawn and noticed that the rest of the street had power. My lights stayed off for about 20 minutes then popped back on. A little extra info: My friend's uncle had been killed on a motorcycle at Ft. Benning (this was '89 or '90 I think). His mother was at the party and she was trying to contact her son when I broke the board. I hadn't known that was what she was doing. Felt bad.
