This is a good letter. And you got me spooked.

Fingers crossed, but I’m sharing my scariest true ghost story next :)

The Ouija Board in Wil's letter and the seance here tell me everything I need to know about what "opens the door". While I have never experienced these kinds of supernatural events, nor do I personally know anyone who has, there is a common denominator when I read about it. Its a fair enough warning to stay away from the occult.

This was crafty. I had a shadowy guy as a kid. Oddly, he only showed up when I slept in beds that weren't mine. Like at a sleepover, or if I camped out on the sofa bed. He would float toward the bed until I sat up (or woke up?) and then he'd be gone. MORE ODDLY, I've had visits from him as an adult, too. But I respond more violently now. Like I'll actually kick or take a swing at what ends up being thin air (or sometimes my husband if he's in the line of fire.) I've always chalked these visions up to half-sleep nightmares, where I'm aware of the space I'm in, but I'm not completely aware of what's in that space with me. Which is nothing. Right? 🫥
