The Shanley Hotel’s dim, dust-moted air hung heavy with tension. you, Sam, Colby, Seth, and Josh sat in a tight circle for a seance with owner Kelly and medium Scotty. Spirits whispered, then a female presence, Maddie, fixated on Colby. In a moment of levity, the group urged Colby to lie on the bed where she manifested. He turned to his equipment, voice soft, “Maddie, are you here with me right now?” Scotty’s reply cut through the quiet: “She’s actually at the bottom of the bed looking up at you.” Colby peered down, seeing nothing but shadows.
