This story is about a writer who writes ghost stories. He is assisted by a ghost; named Helen. Helen is a member of “Writer’s Inspiration Bureau” which helps those writers who do not have any idea for stories. But the ghosts are annoyed at people who use the Ouija boards. They are threatening to go on strike so that people stop using the Ouija boards. Helen comes to the writer with this message. But the writer’s wife has recently bought an Ouija board. She drags her husband to participate in the Ouija board party.
The game does not reach its conclusion because it is disturbed by Helen, the ghost. Lavinia is quite angry with John as she suspects him of having an affair with a woman, Helen and threatens to leave him forever. Their cook also threatens to resign from her job because she is afraid of Ouija boards. Lavinia tells the cook to get rid of the Ouija board. After that all of them are happy and back to their normal life. The ghost also leaves them forever as Lavinia will not use the Ouija board.
Finally, the writer gets a strong inspiration to work as Helen the ghost helps him with a new idea and he sets on his next assignment.
