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...

~White Chapel~ by WaywardAuthor

I didn't think I'd be on the run at 16, with two friends and murder on our trail. A bounty over my head, and a race against the clock. I found out things about my self that I didn't think possible, but I guess the monster in the closet watching me was real after all. #1-#OriginalStory (1/10/2020) #1-#SamsDaughter (1/21/2020)

Lost Hunters by James_Wake

A series of short horror stories about hunters of the paranormal. Part 1 - The Gardener Two men arrive at a small town in rural Oregon. Children are going missing. The forests are burning down. Panic is setting in, and time is running out. M and J might not be the brightest of hunters, but they'll do what they can. Part 2 - The Unheard A solo hunter named Lilith leads a trio of teenagers to confront a ghost in their high school. She never used to believe in ghosts. Never used to believe in any of this. But the facts were the facts, and she'd been fired for trying to tell the truth. She isn't about to stop trying to protect people, though. Part 3 - The Library Card Crosby is an old hunter. This isn't his first time seeing a situation like this. People disappearing into a building for days. None of them coming back. No way to know what's waiting for him inside. No way to find out but to go into the old library himself. Part 4 - The Waiting Demons There are demons waiting everywhere, ready to pounce on the smallest sign of weakness. Mrs. Patience has always known this, even before she became a hunter. Now it is her and her husband's job to bring light to dark places. Part 5 - The Slouching Beast Diana isn't a hunter. She watches. And she guides. But something is hunting her.

Marmalade's Love Potion by brightwitchbrews

In the final days of autumn, a young princess climbs her favourite tree clutching a folded star of paper to her aching heart. Contained within its crisp lines are recountings of her dreams and darings... and a plea that she might, at last, be welcomed home. With a kiss for luck, she tosses her star to the southbound winds, and stumbles her way to a crumbling cottage in the deep woods. Years pass and the constellations spin, her pleas have gone unanswered. The princess grows, and her uncertainties are buried beneath the gentle earth of spurned hopes. It is now, when she has almost forgotten how to wish on morning stars, that an invitation of smoke and dream light arrives, carried on horseback by soldiers of a different kingdom; the Dark Moon Ball might prove her salvation. She does not yet know that love is an exquisite, wretched thing and that wishes are fickle as wisp light. She does not yet know that paths of magic have their own sense of poetry, and walking them presses footprints into the deepest sands of self, remaining even as the stars and seasons turn. She does not yet know that home is where you keep your north star.

Seeking help from The Chosen Ones Kyle Richards, an impressive Telekinetic, has to go up against one of the most powerful Paranormals known to stop her from starting a war; a war in which no one would win. With the Special Unit always just one step behind he must elicit help from his new friends to battle not only Caitlin, but an evil spirit that dwells within her, and if he fail's both Paranormal and Human alike will perish in a world of fire... Welcome back everyone!!! And yes you guessed it. This is the next story in The Hunted One series. If you've enjoyed my previous stories then I believe you'll love this one. ***** Note to everyone ***** The Presence takes place at the same time as "The Hunted One and Caitlin's Way" and has clues and hints to " Destiny " in the story. If you at least read the last chapter of "The Presence," I think everything will hopefully fall into place. I hope this clarifies a few comments I've received. If you have any questions please PM me. Thanks again to everyone and I hope you'll enjoy the story!!! As always please comment and let me know your thoughts. Wayne...

The Doe Identity by ChristinaAnnRiley

When the spirit of a comatose man shows up in front of her, Alexis Howard is determined to help him find his identity. Little does she know, she's about to get sucked into a world of secrets, lies, and murder. *** Alexis Howard can see the dead. A gift that has done her more harm than good. Having been forced to move into a strange small town because of it, Alexis vows to cut all contact with the world of the dead. It's easy at first, especially since there don't seem to be any ghosts in Casa Nova. That is until a comatose patient of hers shows up as one. No, he's not dead. He's just semi-dead. And he has no idea who he is. Oh, and the police think he's a cold-blooded criminal who's involved in the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl. Believing otherwise, Alexis decides to help the spirit find his identity and becomes embroiled in the search for the missing girl. Her investigation also leads to a meeting with a peculiar cat, who seems to be much older than she looks. Just what exactly is the connection between the three? What kind of a cat gets shot and shows up without so much as a scratch a few days later? More importantly, who is John Doe?

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.

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... Favorite Quote: "You are the person you are supposed to be, nothing more, nothing less." Thanks again... Wayne...
