Dear John,
We are having a seance tonight. I want to end this madness. Elsie is saying terrifying things again about this Mary woman. Only this morning, I asked her who she was playing with and she said “Mary” again!
She told mother that she sees things in her room. I fear that if this house is haunted, it is by more than one ghost. I imagine you laughing as you read this.
I was as sceptical as you are until mother said that there is a man in the nursery. He watches Sarah while she sleeps.
Elsie is something of a little liar, though. She can be a wicked child. Those dolls, it must be the dolls. Why does she lie to me so? I will burn every single one of them.
You’re going to wake me up tomorrow and inform me that this is all a dream.
Sincerely,
Your loving madwoman.
