The Good Ghost

"A ouija board is like a microwave. Too instant for those who can not use it right and then blows up. People want to have fun with spirit connects like a board game," Clementine explained.

"So we could totally ask the board for a good ghost," Laya wondered.

"Yes but would have to really work to not be deceived by the bad. The average person is not usually very good at that considering the mini manipulations people use on a day to day basis like playing a little dumb to get out of a situation or only half taking accountability," Clementine shook her head.

"Is that why you mostly only see bad possessions in movies?" Clayton asked.

"Yes, many people waver or are fooled even just a little bit, so I must come to know you can handle this before it is done," Clementine nods, "Trust you won't waver even just a little is so important. I see you two have a way of being selfless and listening, but this is why mediums let people speak to their loved ones for a bit and the seance ends quickly. Always cries of more, but I cannot let it go on that long."

"Right, I am so ready to prove to people good ghost possession is possible for my research that is so important," Clayton nodded.

"This is why I will let this happen. You are so devoted to your work, so this will fulfill the selfish interest you have," Clementine nodded and began with the seance. "I am here to call on Clayton's father for his assistance." The room's lights flashed and candles burned brighter while David's voice piped in.

"My son, you are dear to me, please let me guide you," he pulled closer and Clayton wanted badly to let him in but Clementine pushed him off.

"That ghost was too aggressive and was definitely a deceiver," Clementine looked to see Clayton accept her description for the decision with no fight and was impressed. He really was letting her do the job unlike what most others did. She had to sit through a few more mimics before pushing forth Clayton's real father. Normally this is where she would get words from them while fighting off the person across from her being possessed by the fakes, but Clayton actually accepted the real one and the seance ended.

When Clayton opened his eyes he seemed a bit brighter and wise with a new pep in his step. She set him on his way to go about his usual business with his girlfriend Laya and Clementine waited eagerly for his paper.

Clayton was back within the month with a paper about his experience. Clementine could see his father floating over him and smiling with an arm over his son's shoulder. Laya looked even happier than when first meeting.

"It was brilliant! Work ran smoother like I knew how to handle and respond to all that was around me. It was as if I could see the fullness of what was in front of me. My relationship has been better with the helping hand. I am still able to be myself, but with more clarity and knowing. I am so excited to share my findings and prove possession isn't always like the horror movies. A cool ghost loved one can be guiding you at your side," Clayton was excited.

"I just know your work will be life changing, but that it will mean more people will try at this and find themselves negatively possessed, coming to me upset," Clementine knew of the flip side of the coin.

"I will do all I can to make sure that they don't get to blame you for their own mistakes or not using proper diligence and understanding when they try the findings within the paper for themselves," Clayton promised.

"Thank you so much, Clayton. It was a joy to see someone actually be able to find a good ghost to be at their side." They shook hands as Clayton went to edit and turn in his newly found research.
