Spade queen – stories from my childhood.

Another game we had was the game when would go any apartment building and hide at the first floor. Would turn off all the lights and close the door.

Then one of the girls put two small mirrors together and two spade queens poker cards facing each other between the mirrors.

We would say: “Spade queen, see us.  Spade queen see us”.

And I swear every time right after these words we heard heavy footsteps on the top floor.


When we heard those steps we always screamed like crazy and run out from the building.

One time we decided to stay longer, but when the steps were very close almost near us, we could not open the door to get out. Felt like someone was holding it from outside.

We were pushing the door, knocking it without any result, then we heard a dog barked on the second floor, someone let the dog go for a walk.


And in the same minute we open the door, I think one of the girls felt on the ground.  We were scared, and told this story to all the kids in our school. The next time almost everyone wanted to go with us to call the spade queen.
