Paul's Ghost

Overview

Late one night in an Oakland kitchen, in December of 1969, three teenage girls sift through their Beatles albums for “clues” to the supposed death of Paul McCartney. Adopting “witchy” sounding names and lighting candles to create a mystical mood, they stage their own impromptu séance. With trembling voices and a homemade Ouija board, the girls attempt to contact Paul from beyond the grave – which yields surprising results! As it turns out, an unexpected visitor brings insight and healing to at least one girl’s life, restoring a fractured family in the process.
