JOHN HALLOCK:-
He is a very successful writer of ghost stories. Whenever his publisher asks him for a new story, he is able to write one. Usually, he has no idea where the plot will come from; he suddenly gets inspiration and is able to produce a new story. This made him cocky and overconfident. But being a writer is not enough. He has a wilful and whimsical wife who seems to enjoy spending money on every new fad or fashion. In order to meet her demands, Hallock has to work as a bookkeeper in a warehouse. Hiss encounter with the ghost of Helen is a new and shocking thing as he is told that ghosts inspire him and give him all the ideas for his stories. He holds long and interesting conversations with the ghost and is dismayed by the threat that the spirits are going on strike unless people like his wife stop bothering them with their Ouija boards. He is witty, creative, caring and in moral dread of his wife Lavinia.
