The ouija board - Laurie anderson[00:00:00]
In 1978 I spent some time in California in the fall[00:00:13]
Looking for a quiet place to live[00:00:19]
I finally found what seemed to be the perfect apartment[00:00:22]
But the night after I moved in[00:00:26]
I heard a tremendous pounding sound[00:00:29]
As it turned out I had moved in right above[00:00:33]
A Hawaiian hallow log drum school[00:00:36]
Every other night it was converted into a hula school[00:00:41]
With a live band of six Hawaiian guitars[00:00:45]
I decided to soundproof my place[00:00:51]
But I didn't hang the door very well and all the sounds kept drifting in[00:00:54]
About this time like a lot of New Yorkers[00:01:02]
Who find themselves on the West Coast[00:01:06]
I got interested in various aspects of California's versions of the occult[00:01:10]
We would sit around at night[00:01:19]
When the Santa Anna winds howled outside[00:01:21]
And ask questions to the ouija board[00:01:26]
I found out a lot of information on my past 9 361 human lives on this planet[00:01:32]
My first life was as a raccoon[00:01:41]
And then you were a cow[00:01:47]
And then you were a bird[00:01:54]
And then you were a hat spelled the ouija[00:02:00]
We said “a hat ”[00:02:06]
We couldn't figure it out [00:02:09]
Finally we guessed that[00:02:11]
The feathers from the bird had been made into a hat[00:02:13]
Is this true[00:02:17]
Yes spelled the ouija Hat counts as half life[00:02:19]
And then[00:02:29]
Hundreds and hundreds of rave eyes[00:02:33]
Now this is apparently my first life as a woman[00:02:43]
Which should explain quite a few things[00:02:47]
Eventually though the ouija's written words[00:02:51]
Seemed to take a kind of personality a kind of a voice[00:02:55]
Finally we began to ask the board[00:03:01]
If the ouija would be willing to appear to us in some other form[00:03:03]
Forget it forget it forget it forget it forget it forget it[00:03:10]
The ouija seemed like it was about to crash[00:03:13]
Please please what can we do now[00:03:15]
So you will show yourself to us in some other manifestation[00:03:18]
You should lurk You should L U R K Lurk [00:03:26]
No I never really figured out how to lurk in my own place[00:03:40]
Even though it was only a rented place[00:03:45]
But I did find myself looking over my shoulder a lot[00:03:49]
And every sound that drifted in[00:03:54]
Seemed to be a version of this phantom voice[00:03:57]
Whispering in a code that I could never crack[00:04:01]
