I'm guessing talking to spirits or telling ghost stories would be the equivalent of communing with the Devil at the time and not suitable for a family-friendly book.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-64820751229002273812021-10-26T10:28:21.424-05:002021-10-26T10:28:21.424-05:00Thanks for sharing this!

But fitting paper lanterns over your gas jets? The fire danger must have been off the charts. The dumb game sounds interesting. I can't imagine asking party guest to sit silently for an hour while they watched some dough in front of the fire.
