Summary:
When Mrs. Montague got settled in the house she decided that she wanted to play a game known as Planchette which is similar to the Ouija Board. The only difference is that the Planchette writes out the answers and the Ouija Board gives letters so people can spell the answers out. While playing the game with Author, her driver she discovers the answers to many intriguing stuff. This then led her to discover that the chosen one is in fact, Eleanor. Now they have to find a way to protect Eleanor which will not be easy to accomplish. Eleanor can't even leave the house because the house won't even let that happen. Mrs. Montague however, is expected to leave by Monday since Arthur has to get back to teaching on Tuesday. All of the six inhabitants hear weird sounds and see weird things but there's never any visual proof of a paranormal activity. Then after getting through the whole book it leaves the reader, as in me, wondering what really did happen? It's like an unsolved mystery making the story have no true ending.
Quote:
"Planchette, he went on after a moment, is a device similar to the Ouija Board, or perhaps I might explain better by saying that it is a form of automatic writing" (Jackson 187).
Response:
This quote further explains how a Planchette works. Dr. Montague explains what this is when his wife says she's going to play the game with Arthur.

so if there is no proof of ghosts, was it their own fear that caused the weird events?
