Paranelope, a ghost hunter who's been cancelled for faking evidence, must discover the truth behind a local cryptid in order to clear her name.

--
 
Penelope, better known as the ghost hunter PARANELOPE to her millions of followers, has only ever wanted one thing: to find solid, irrefutable proof of the supernatural. But when her ex-boyfriend outs all of her evidence as fake, her fans and the rest of the Internet are quick to turn on her. Now not only is Penelope betrayed, heartbroken, and #cancelled... She's not sure what to believe in anymore.

Seeking refuge, Penelope lands in the quiet little mountain town of Ridgestone, far away from the city and reliable cell service. But Ridgestone isn't as quiet as it first appeared, and washed-up influencers aren't the only thing haunting its surrounding woods. The little town is home to a cryptid, a legendary monster, just like the ones she used to hunt. A monster that seems particularly interested in Penelope. 

If only someone would believe her...

THE HUNTED ONE (A Story of Telekinesis) [ Completed ] by WPutman68

Have you ever had anything strange happen to you that you couldn't explain? One moment you're normal, the next... Well, it happened to me. On my sixteenth birthday, my life changed forever. I learned that day I was different. I have a gift... And I've been hunted by men intending to capture or kill me just because of what I can do. I'm Telekinetic, a mover they call me. I can move objects with just my thoughts. I can do things that most other people only dream about. Except sometimes a dream can start out exciting, and quickly become a nightmare. My name is Kyle... and this is my story. "The Hunted One " is part one of the series. Part two is called "Caitlin's Way". And part three, " Destiny " is also completed. I've also finished writing "The Presence." It's a ghost story with my kind of twist and takes place at the same time as my first two stories and If you're a Hunted One reader, you may find the ending interesting... I also have a story called "Return of the Black Eyed Children " It's based on the legend. (Look it up on Google) My latest is called "Vengeful Spirits." I'm sure the tittle describes what it's about... Please consider all my stories as a first draft. I'll be editing/polishing as time allows. Highest ranking for "The Hunted One" #45 in Paranormal on 09/29/17 And as always silent readers are always welcome. Votes and Comments are always much appreciated! Follow @WPutman68 to keep up on my latest posts. Thanks to everyone for their support and taking some time out of your busy day to spend it in my world...

He now works a minimum wage job and is learning filming and video editing from a certain YouTube star, which happens to involve demon summoning more often than not.

Disgraced Internet celebrity Jamie is working her hardest to salvage her reputation and restore her YouTube channel Witchcraft Wednesday to its former glory. When a golden opportunity in the form of one of the world's most haunted islands crosses her path, the only thing she can do is take it with both hands.

Custos Unicorium 1 ~Longe Aluid--Something Very Different~ by Springtime_Unicorn

Regina has just been chosen to be Keeper of a unicorn. There's only one problem...She can't see them! Make that two problems. She can't get out of it. Regina's tiny village shouldn't be well known. It's about the most avarage "out in the middle of a forest" town you could come by. The thatched houses number to about 75, and there are maybe that many families. Each of which needs a hunter to survive. Nothing special. But the village itself is not what makes it so widely known. It's the local unicorn haven. Nearly every small, innocent, child dreams of becoming a Keeper, a person who watches the unicorns. But run by a group of monks called the Dispatchers, the unicorn haven holds more secrets than anyone in the village suspects. As Regina gets sucked into her new job more and more secrets start coming out. A dark presence makes itself evident on the outskirts of the village. Being now a Keeper, and a tracker, one who protects the village, Regina has to keep up with it all.

Blood remembers by jesuisjas

It was supposed to be just a legend.A silly bedtime story meant to make kids behave, go to sleep quicker.They said if you summoned her, you'd get anything you wished for. Five friends:Victoria,Liam, Dominik, Sarah and Grayson. They didn't believe in fairy tales.They wanted what every kid their age wanted: Friendship. Popularity. A place to belong. So one summer night, just for fun, they followed the ritual. A circle of salt, a chant at midnight, a name whispered into the flame.And it worked. The very next day, their lives began to change. Suddenly, they were seen. Admired. Feared. Everything they ever wanted... came true. But nothing comes without a price. As weeks passed, the changes grew darker. Accidents began to happen. People got hurt. One of them disappeared. And the bond that once held them together began to fracture under the weight of guilt and paranoia.Because that night, they did more than summon a myth.They made a deal.And now,someone or something wants payment. Each of them holds a piece of the secret. Each of them has something to lose. How far would you go to cover up what really happened that night? How far would you go to stay on top, even if it means betraying your friends? And what happens when the secrets start to surface? In a town that feeds on stories, this one might be deadly real.
