I don't remember any mentions or feelings about specific events like that. I do remember there weren't many (if any) mentions of video games / computers / DVDs, but possibly of VHS, which makes me think it's at least early to mid nineties at least.
Bump.

I found this in an Amazon discussion about "The Game":
- "Two sisters, twins I think, get in an accident leaving one paralyzed. The paralyzed twin starts playing with a ouija board and slowly becomes possessed. I remeber a part where they were throwing a house party and a guy piked up the paralyzed sister to dance with her and she tried to make him fall into a bonfire."
- "one twin sister paralyzed and played with the ouija and was possessed"
Thanks, but I don't think that's it, since no one was paralyzed. I'll read it though, just to be sure.

I don't think the details are quite right, but I read a book called Jane-Emily at least 20+ years ago that had a girl possessed by the spirit of another girl, who I think was a relative of an earlier generation. The girl and her older sister (it might have been from the sister's point of view) were staying with an older lady, I think a relative, the ghost was the daughter, maybe, of the woman they were staying with.
It is Waiting Spirits! Thank you!
No problem! It was one of my favorites when I was younger and I recognized it immediately.

It was about a girl and her younger sister who visited their grandmother and decided to bring out a Ouija board for some reason. The grandmother calls the spirit of her dead sister(I believe it was her sister and that she died when they were younger), either accidentally or intentionally, to entertain the kids. They keep doing it for some reason, but it gets out of hand at some point. The older sister gets possessed and (view spoiler)[attacks her younger sister and a boy her own age from the neighbourhood who ends up getting involved. There's an epilogue-type chapter that takes place a few weeks later where the protagonist notes that her sister is still wary around her and that she might be getting involved with the neighbourhood boy. I think they watch movies (VHS tapes, IIRC) together and the experience is positive. (hide spoiler)]
