    Usually, after-work suggestions from coworkers mean drinks and karaoke, both of which Opal normally declines in favor of a good nap. Finding herself in a creaky house surrounded by candles and spiderwebs? That should have been her first red flag. The ghost of the house realizes someone can finally see her and suddenly promises are being made to help a sister move on. The sister? A cop with her own vendetta. Opal is dragged into a cold case for a ghost she'd rather not be able to see because apparently, normal life was too much to ask for. Between late nights, dark corners, and dusty old documents Opal finds herself talking to the dead whether she likes it or not. Either they'll find the answers, or they'll be adding to the ghostly population.

    As of right know, all of the cases I will be writing about are cold cases (cases that have never been solved). If new information is posted or a certain case is solved, I will make sure to update any of the cases' information. I may broaden my research to cases that have been solved, or write about cases that have been recommended to me. I know that a lot of people enjoy reading about subjects like this. All I ask is that you be respectful and don't leave harmful or negative comments about any of these cases. Remember that these are real cases with real people who have greiving families. Thank you!
