Jodie passed away on October 12 after declining cancer treatment. Toward the end of the summer, she felt her health worsen and thought continuing the treatment was too risky.

Perryman said that she and her roommates tried to use the Ouija board later on, but they soon realized it didn’t work.

“It’s just paper,” she said while laughing. “We tried but to no avail.”
