A séance, are we happy to go there?
A bit scary certainly,
but looks interesting though.
Rather dark with three black candles, but oh,
there’s a skull, a cracked mirror,
and withered old roses.
Are we sure, I mean, what might happen here?
Come on, we can sit by there,
hmm, maybe not… let’s run!

Quite compelling, Chris! Perhaps a wise decision to avoid the seance. 🙂

Hmm, a good decision definitely. However, I bet there are some fun novels about séances. Just a thought, Dave. 🤔

Hmm…I can’t think of one offhand, Chris, but I’m sure you’re right. 🙂 And Arthur Conan Doyle was into seances in real life.

I once picked up a book on superstitions… and in the very beginning it said – if you don’t want your live consumed by superstions – put this book back on the shelf and walk away. So that’s what I did… I didn’t run though 😉
