SKELETON CREW HELD SEANCE TO EXORCISE GHOSTS

Soon after Goth-obsessed Long Island teens partied with skeletal remains snatched from a local cemetery, they returned to the scene of the grisly gala to communicate with the ghosts of those they had disrespected.

“I’m kind of spiritual,” said Jessica Wess, the host of the ghoulish gathering.

She arranged the Ouija-board seance in the basement of her Patchogue home because she feared it was haunted by the ghosts of Elmer Grandin, Eva Adams Grandin and Jason Melvin Adams.

Elmer Grandin’s ossified body – dressed in a Darth Vader mask – and the skulls of the other two were brought to her initial Thanksgiving weekend gathering by Michael Herz, 18; Michael Sossi, 17; and Patrick O’Rourke, 19, Suffolk cops say.

“Look what we got down the road,” Herz allegedly told Wess and the rest of the group as he displayed the bodies at the first party.

“I was freaking out,” Wess told The Post. “I said to him, ‘How could you do that? What kind of person are you?’ “

Herz’s reply: “It’s funny.”

Besides the bodies, the party featured a big bottle of Jack Daniel’s, Wess said.

Days later, worried about the bad karma of having had the corpses in her basement, Wess arranged the seance.

A friend communicated with the ghosts on Wess’s behalf and “said that Elmer forgave her . . . and that Eva didn’t answer. But Jason didn’t forgive her,” recalled a pal, Danielle Boughton.

Jessica Wess said she’s a Christian and denied any interest in Satanism.

Herz and Sossi are charged with cemetery desecration, opening graves and body stealing for taking the remains from 250-year-old Cedar Grove Cemetery in Patchogue. O’Rourke is charged with receiving a stolen body.
