19 MAY 2026 · It's a dark and stormy night and our wiccan spooky season lofi study girl, Draculetta LeNoire, is trying her hand at the Ouija board. The planchette moves on its own, speaking the words of some unseen entity. Above her, in the mirror, the faces of ghosts and demons are reflected from some unspeakable netherworld. The lights flicker, as does lightning. We hear the music Draculetta is streaming on her PiPhone.
