Lucy Topaz from Cleveland, Ohio called me on 11/13/2020 and explained to me that she had summoned, with 4 of her girlfriends, the Grauballe Man with a Ouija Board. The first thing I thought of was…”who in the heck is Grauballe Man?” Thank goodness for Google, I was able to type in the name and received the information I was seeking. Grauballe Man lived during 290 BC and 310 AD. Archaeologists believed he was a victim of a ceremonial execution.

 

By conducting an autopsy of Grauballe Man at the Moesgaard Museum in Denmark, it was discovered that he may have been giving ergot, a hallucinogenic fungus. Grauballe met up with a horrendous execution. The peat cutters and archaeologists discovered that he received a powerful sharp blow to his legs. This blow brought him down to his knees. Then someone yanked his head back and cut his throat ear to ear. Grauballe Man who died in his 20s or 30s, was basically a peasant. When they conducted an autopsy on Grauballe Man, they found ground up corn porridge, a favorite food of the non-wealthy. Archaeologists believe that Grauballe Man while alive was malnutritioned and the Harris lines that they found supports their theory. Grauballe Man also had bad teeth and problems with his right knee, which probably caused him to limp. It is theorized he was sacrificed for reasons unknown. Many corpses found in the bog, became well-preserved. The bog was a final resting place for paupers and royalty that were executed, sacrificed or simply murdered.

 

 

Seamus Heaney in 1975 wrote this little poem in honor of the Grauballe Man:

 

to his vivid cast?

Who will say ‘body’
to his opaque repose?

 

After learning about the Grauballe Man, I talked with my father and step-mother Cindy and they told me that when they visited Finland, Sweden and Denmark on one of their adventurous vacations, they recall going to the Vejle Museum in Denmark and seeing the well preserved bog mummies. Cindy says that most of them look like they are merely sleeping. Lucy Topaz is fascinated with history and knew a lot about the bog mummies. Lucy said she felt compelled to summon Grauballe Man and find out why he was executed. So on 11/11/2020, Veteran’s Day, Lucy gathered up 4 of her girlfriends for a slumber party and Ouiji Board seance session at her home. They called upon Grauballe Man with 11 candles burning. After an hour into the session, they received a message on the Ouiji Board that said…”jeg er here”, which in the Danish language means “I’m here”. In a dark corner of the room, they saw a shadowy figure and to their surprise, it was the hideous face of the Grauballe Man. Grauballe Man’s head tilted back and blood dripped upon his torso. All 5 girls screamed at the top of their lungs and the Grauballe Man faded away into nothingness. Lucy truly believes she summoned the Grauballe Man and tells me the very next night, she heard pounding on the door of her bedroom closet. I have given Lucy information on how to self-bless her home and explained to her the dangers of using a Ouiji Board. She will follow my instructions of burying the Ouiji Board on hallowed ground, blessing the Ouiji Board with prayers and holy water before actually burying it. Lucy also will conduct a self-blessing of her home and if for some reason her self-blessing of her home does not work, she will consult the pastor of her church. I believe that Lucy has actually summoned a demon that took on the guise of the Grauballe Man.

Now let’s get off track and briefly talk about the Hellyer House in San Jose, see the paragraph below:
