Séance Doesn't Count as Spooky Spirit?

Was a  bit disappointed to find out that communing with the departed on the séance table with the grim reaper while listening to the spooky station on the radio had no effect on the Spooky Spirit tradition lol

Ended up scooping pumpkins instead, which led me to this glitch https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-SSP-Pumpkin-Carving-cannot-be-resumed-if-interrupted/m-p/10560291

Kind of a bummer! D: Shouldn't a séance count as "interacting with ghosts"?
