What I loved
This was a gory, gross ghost story that's perfect for Halloween! I really liked the characters, even though a few started as bullies of sorts. Though this could've all been avoided if one of them was honest with their friends. The ending bit was pretty graphic, and once again, I'm thankful that I have aphantasia and can't picture anything in my mind.
