Chapter 43
Jan and I had quite a talk after her parents left for home. I wasn't jealous of her new found relationship with them but I wanted to know what she was thinking about now that we were alone.
"Caleb my love, I don't know what came over me, I just had this overwhelming urge to make love to my mother while you and Dad were outside. She didn't rebuff me and it was so wonderful to join with her in an act of intimate love. It seemed right for us to experience each other in that way. Then when she asked what my father would think I told her that I didn't care because I wanted to fuck him also. She was shocked at first but when I told her that I didn't have any aspirations of taking him away from her she calmed down a little."
"I don't think she really accepted it until I told her that she could fuck you if she wanted to. I knew you wouldn't pass up the chance to take her to your bed and you didn't disappoint me."
Jan was blushing a bit as she told me what had happened and I held her hand and reassured her that everything was ok.
"I think the best thing was seeing the look on dad's face when Marie showed up and fucked him six ways to Sunday and mom didn't bat an eye."
The weekend was a the chief subject of conversation for the next few days and during some quiet times I had to wonder if there wasn't something about the house that made peoples inhibitions fade away. Jan had called her mother to see if there were any repercussions after they got home and she assured her that everything was great and they were looking forward to another visit with us.
She told Jan that her sex life was the best it had ever been and she wanted it to continue. Jan cautioned her to be careful when they were out socially because there were a lot of people out there that would take advantage of their new relaxed attitudes. Joan assured her that they were ok and there was another couple that they had known for years that had teased them to swap a few times and maybe they would take them up on their offer. Jan changed the subject and they chatted about everything and anything for the next hour or so.
After they hung up I called Jan asking her to join me.
"Baby, I think there is a presence in this house that lowers the inhibitions and makes people do things that they wouldn't normally do. I think we had better careful who we invite here until we find out what is going on. Did you ever think that all our friends and your parents would strip nude in front of each other so easily? I don't think it was just Marie convincing them to do it that pushed them to do it. I remember Marie saying that they had been in the house for a while before she could get them to undress. I don't know what to do about it but we should be careful"
"Maybe Etta can shed some light of our dilemma Caleb, let's call out to her and see if she can sit with us for a while to answer some questions."
Good idea Jan. I called: "Etta can you come and sit with us so we can talk to you?"
There was no answer from her but she materialized in the chair across form us.
"Good Day Jan and Caleb. What can I do for you?"
"Good day to you also Etta, we would like to know if you know of any spirit that is still here besides you. There are strange things that happen when we have guests and we have a feeling that there is something or someone that influences people to act sexual when they wouldn't normally act that way."
"I am the only spirit as such here in the house but the trunk has special powers that can't be ignored. I don't know what causes it or why it does but if I go too close to it I have to join you too in bed to get satisfaction. Pat was a good distraction as was Joan and I am glad they came to visit."
"So you are saying that the trunk is what may be causing the strange behavior that seems to take over anyone that visits us."
"Yes. I hope that helps you."
She faded from our sight before we could continue the conversation but we felt that we had a clue to the mystery.
Life went on normally for us as Jan got back into her business doing paranormal research for people that believed that they had a ghost or something in their house. We had a few places that Jan wanted to travel to and do an investigation so we planned a trip much like the one we did for her final paper for school.
We were getting ready to leave sometime in the next few days when there was a knock on our door. We weren't expecting anyone so I slipped on the robe I kept by the door and opened it to find Ms. Lucinda standing on the porch.
"Well isn't this a good surprise. Won't you come in?" I said inviting her inside.
"Please excuse my being dressed the way I am but we are nudists and I usually just slip on a robe to answer the door."
"Don't think twice about it, I am not offended so feel free to be comfortable in your own home."
I slipped off the robe and asked why she was visiting us.
"I have had you and Jan on my mind ever since you left Salem. I know Jan is a sensitive and I know there is more to your story than we got into at my shop. I need to know more about you two. Sitting here I feel a strange power pulling at me and I don't know what to think."
"What are you feeling Ms. Lucinda? You can tell me because we have had some strange things happen here and maybe you can help sort them out."
"I really don't know, I am being pulled toward the other end of the house for some reason."
Jan entered the room and was as surprised as I was to see our guest. She greeted her warmly as she sat with us.
"Ms. Lucinda was just telling me that she was intrigued by our story and felt that there was more to it than we were telling her. She wanted to come and visit us and see if we would continue with our strange tale. Now she tells me that she is feeling that seems to be pulling her to another part of the house."
"Ms. Lucinda, why don't you let the feeling take you where you it wants to. We don't have anything to hide here and maybe you will find what we have been unable to."
"Please just call me Lucinda, Ms. seems so formal."
She got up and moved toward the back of the house where the attic stairway was located. "What is behind this door" she asked
"That is the attic stairway. Is that where you are being led?"
"It seems so. It is almost as if it is taking my hand to the knob to open the door. What is up there?"
"The only thing up there is the trunk we told you about. We have tried to move it into a back corner but something moves it back to the location it is in now. We locked like you suggested and haven't been up there since."
"May I go up and look at it. Maybe I can get some vibe from it that will tell us something."
I opened the door for her and her eyes rolled back in her head as she fainted. I managed to catch her before she could get hurt and carried her back to the couch as Jan ran to get a wet cloth to put on her brow.
Her eyes fluttered open and she asked what happened. I told her that she fainted and asked her if she remembered what caused her to do that.
She was silent for a few minutes and then explained: "I felt an overwhelming sensation of sexual pleasure. It was if I was being made love to by all the fantasy lovers I have ever had. I know we all have thoughts like that at some point in our lives but this was so real I couldn't handle the overload."
She sat there blushing at her revelations and Jan did the best she could to put her at ease.
