| Horror Story |
Jessica, Karen, Leari, Carmine, and I had come together for a night of revelry, unaware of the horrors that awaited us in the depths of the night. Little did we know that our innocent gathering would soon descend into a nightmare beyond comprehension.
Amidst the flickering candlelight and the crackle of the fireplace, Carmine, always one to stir excitement, produced a mysterious object—a Ouija board. Gasps of surprise echoed through the room as we beheld the ominous artifact, its surface etched with cryptic symbols and faded letters.
"What's that?" Jessica's voice trembled with apprehension as she gestured towards the board, her eyes wide with fear.
"It's a Ouija board," Carmine replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "A tool for communicating with the spirits of the dead."
A shiver ran down my spine as I gazed upon the ancient relic, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a suffocating blanket. I had heard tales of the dangers of tampering with such dark forces, but curiosity gnawed at my resolve, urging me to peer into the abyss that beckoned from beyond.
With hesitant fingers, we gathered around the Ouija board, the flickering candlelight casting eerie shadows upon our faces. Carmine led the session, her voice steady despite the unease that permeated the room.
"Are you a good or evil spirit?" Leari's voice trembled as she posed the question, her eyes darting nervously around the room.
The planchette moved, gliding across the surface of the board with an otherworldly grace. "E-V-I-L," it spelled out, each letter dripping with malice.
A collective gasp escaped our lips as we recoiled in horror, the weight of our actions pressing down upon us like a leaden weight. But Carmine, ever the skeptic, scoffed at our fear, dismissing the ominous message as mere superstition.

"It's just a game," she insisted, her voice tinged with bravado. "Nothing to be afraid of."
But deep down, I knew that we had unleashed something beyond our control, a darkness that hungered for our souls with ravenous intent.
As the night wore on, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the air thick with the palpable sense of dread that hung over us like a shroud. Shadows danced along the walls, their sinister forms twisting and writhing in the flickering candlelight.
And then, as if summoned by our collective fear, a presence materialized before us—a spectral figure cloaked in darkness, its eyes burning with an otherworldly fire.
"Helen Joskie," Carmine whispered, her voice barely audible above the din of our terrified whispers. "The spirit that haunts this house."
A chill ran down my spine as I beheld the ghostly apparition, its visage twisted with anguish and despair. I had heard tales of Helen Joskie, the tormented soul who had met a tragic end within these very walls, but never had I imagined that I would come face to face with her vengeful spirit.
In a voice that seemed to echo from the depths of the abyss, Helen Joskie spoke, her words sending shivers down my spine. "Beware," she warned, her voice a chilling whisper on the wind. "For the darkness that lurks within this house seeks to consume all who dare to tread its hallowed halls."
With trembling hands, we attempted to flee the accursed house, but it was too late—the doors had sealed shut, trapping us within its sinister embrace. Desperate cries filled the air as we struggled against the invisible forces that held us captive, our screams drowned out by the deafening silence of the night.
And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the nightmare ended—the doors swung open, releasing us from the clutches of the haunted house. But as we stumbled into the safety of the night, I knew that the horrors we had witnessed would haunt us for eternity, a grim reminder of the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
As dawn broke on the horizon, we made a solemn vow—to never speak of the events that transpired within those cursed walls, to bury the memory of Helen Joskie and her vengeful spirit deep within the recesses of our minds.
But try as we might, we could never escape the lingering sense of unease that followed us wherever we went, a constant reminder of the darkness that lurked just beyond the veil of reality.
And so, the tale of Helen Joskie and the terrifying encounter with the Ouija board faded into legend, a cautionary reminder of the dangers that lie in wait for those who dare to tempt fate.
But for those who had witnessed the horrors firsthand, the memory of that fateful night would forever haunt their dreams, a lingering specter of the darkness that lurks within us all.
