Answer:
Dear student,
John Hallock is the protagonist of the story "A Shady Plot". He is the husband of Lavinia an is plagued by the ghost of Helen. Helen tells John to prevent the use of Ouija Boards, if he wishes to continue his successful career as a ghost story writer. John comes across as a plagued husband, who is worried about his wife's reaction on perceiving an actual ghost. He loves his wife in spite of the fact that she is a spendthrift.
Lavinia is the quintessential modern wife, who loves to spend money and indulge new fashions or trends. She is the one who purchases an Ouija Board and organizes the Ouija party. She may come across as a vacuous wife, but finally displays genuine love and affection for her husband.
Helen, the ghost, was quite humane in nature and humorous. She appeared to be a real human being. She had emotions unlike the other ghost characters who are usually cruel and scary. She not only helped the narrator in writing ghost stories but also helped him to reunite with his wife.
Miss Laura Hinkle was a member of the author's wife's Book Club. She had come to their home to play at the Ouija board. They had decided to sit at the boards in pairs but, at the last moment, the Book Club members got to know that one of their members, Mrs. William Augustus Wainright, could not come. This left Laura without a partner and so the author was asked to take the absent member's place. Laura Hinkle was only a little fliratatious with Mr. Hallock. She also informed Livinia about her husband's connection with a lady named Helen.
