What problems did Helen, the ghost, cause in John Hallock’s life?
The narrator, John Hallock was very desperate for inspiration.

The Ouija Board helped him in summoning the ghost, Helen who provided him with creative inputs for his story. Helen found his mind soft enough to accept impression and helped him. Unfortunately, the new fad of people using Ouija boards to call upon ghosts to answer their questions exhausted her. She threatened John that she would go on strike.
