Hello Brandon,
Dr. Dodge's house's ghostie sounds familiar now that I think of it. Did he not commit suicide? I believe so. Capt. Smith was a great fan of cigars, if I recall his daughter is quoted as saying that it was hard to find him when a wreath of blue cigar smoke didn't swirl around him. Sensible fellow, I love the smell of cigars myself. Hmmm...I wouldn't suggest ever addressing a ghost, it doesn't do well. They get a bit peeved. As for the Ouija, I wouldn't suggest those either. As far as I've heard those sorts of thing increase nasty hauntings quite a bit. The ever-great G.K. Chesterton once remembered toying with a planchett with some friends (the planchett is very similiar to the Ouija) and he says it is not a pleasant expierence, and he would never want anyone to do it, so as much as I respect your opinions on these things, I wouldn't touch one.
God bless,
Addison
PS, reminds me of Lucia in London, from Mapp and Lucia, in which poor old Lucia fiddles with the thing with some friends (the weed-gee as Georgie calls it in the book) and from it comes the ghostly words-- Luuuuuuucia is a sssssssnob...
