The Spirits' Revenge

Prologue

Amanda Walker crossed her arms, glaring into the mist around her.

A man walked up to her. "You okay?"

Amanda glared at him. "No, I'm not. I'm dead. And on top of that, I'm being impersonated."

The guy frowned. "Someone is stealing your identity?"

"You could say that," growled Amanda. "It's this psychic that's pretending he's channeling me to solve his stupid crime."

The guy looked closely at her. "Shawn Spencer?"

Amanda looked over at him. "Yeah, how'd you know?"

The guy shook his head annoyingly. "That fake has been 'channeling spirits' for two and a half years."

"You're telling me," said a bald guy who walked up to them. "He told the SBPD that he was 'communing with my spirit' in order to pin down the suspect."

A blonde guy walked up. "Yeah. In order to get my murder case reopened, he told the chief that he'd spoken to me from beyond the grave."

"He pretended to be channeling me through a cat," said a blonde woman in annoyance. "Did a horrible job at the impersonation. I was an actress, not a dancer."

"I heard he held a séance for a guy who turned out to be alive," said another woman.

A tall, bald man walked up. "He pretended to talk to my cars to pin down this guy who killed me."

"He and his best friend took turns being psychic to find my murderer," said a guy. "All just to impress the guy's uncle."

An elderly man joined their group. "He supposedly channeled my spirit at my estate auction."

"I heard he pretended to channel a ghost, 'cause this guy thought he was being haunted," said a woman. "Turns out, the guy just had some personality disorder."

Amanda looked around at them. "So…he just pretends to be a psychic? He fakes the whole thing? Makes a profit off of it, while some of us are actually trying to get messages to our loved ones?"

One of the spirits narrowed his eyes at her. "You sound like you have a plan."

Amanda nodded. "I say we do something about it."

"What do you have in mind?" asked the blonde actress.

They all gathered closely, eager to teach this pseudo-psychic a lesson.

"Spencer needs a taste of his own medicine," said Amanda, looking around at the others. "He wants to be a psychic?" She smiled wickedly. "We'll give him psychic."
