At first, I thought the Holy Spirit Board by Holy Spirit Games – Christian Religious Talking Board for Seance with Planchette was one of those photoshop sort […]

I heard a brief conversation, ending with him politely declining whatever the person at our door wanted to sell, and when he got back, I asked who it’d been. “One of our neighbors. […]
