Chapter 19

As Sophie, Toots, Ida, and Mavis prepared for the evening’s séance, a hint of trepidation filled the air.

“I’m not sure if we should go through with this. If we’re able to contact spirits, and they have the ability to manipulate the objects around us, I’m afraid something might go horribly wrong,” Ida said as they placed the candles around the table.

“You’re the one who wanted to make contact with Thomas. This was your idea. I’m just the medium, that’s all,” Sophie said.

“But what if what he said was true? What if he was really poisoned by something other than tainted meat? Then what?” Ida asked.

“Then I will call Chris. He won’t laugh at us. He’s seen what’s gone on at the beach house. It’s too bad all that expensive equipment Sophie invested a small fortune in didn’t reveal anything. If it had, we’d have our own TV reality show by now,” Toots said.

“Are you sure this is safe? I wouldn’t want to open any of those . . . portals you two are always discussing,” Ida said.

“You read my mind, Ida,” Sophie said. “I called the woman in California who I bought the book from, and I told her our situation. She gave me some advice. In the book it says we have the ability to contact a specific spirit. We need to eliminate the chance that it could harm us. Even if the person was family in life, he or she could be malicious in death. The book has specific instructions on how to make sure that if any spirits come through, they will not be able to harm us.”

“How do we do that?” Ida asked.

“In the book, there is a chant we can say to assure that no spirits harm us and only come forth with good intent,” Sophie explained.

“What is it? Something like ‘Dear dead people, please don’t choke us to death’?” Toots said, laughing.

“No, it’s nothing like that. It’s whatever we want it to be. Just consider it something like a prayer that protects us from evil and evil actions,” Sophie explained again. She was so serious that the others blinked. This was a different Sophie.

Ida lit the candle in front of her and placed it in the center of the table. “I’m hesitant to believe that, but the book did work last time, so I’m willing to give it a shot. Maybe this will set my mind at ease.”

“Sophie, do you think you could add something to the effect of ‘Please don’t mess with my clothing, since I don’t want to ruin any more mourning clothes,’ ” Mavis pleaded.

“We don’t need to wear mourning clothes this time around,” Sophie told her. “Just remember, this is something I’ve never tried before. Again, you all have to be willing to have the bejesus scared out of you.”

“You’re so eloquent,” Toots said. “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”

“Yes, I’m sure, or at least as sure as one can be given the circumstances. You don’t have to sit here and participate.
