Halloween Happening

A dark but not stormy night

Good one for getting a fright

Friends coming to stay

And one wants to play

Ouija board.



Not one of us really believed

This game could really succeed.

We sat round the table

Empty chair to enable

The ghost.



Placed the tips of our fingers 

While the planchette lingered

The candles all lit

“Who’s moving it?”

No one.



Hands fly quick to our sides

Nervous giggles abide

You feel her? she asked

The laughter unmasked

Our fear.



In truth we felt something strange

A presence came within range

Sat in the chair 

Provided her there

Her mother.



You may choose not to believe

The idea is hard to conceive

The story is true

And all of us do

In Spirits.
