(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

What will happen at the end of the case? (Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt, you own you. I only own the characters I add to the story.)

Ghost by y4ndereprincess

A group of friends discover something unexplainable. Something that will uncover and unleash tragedy. Only that something is a she. Note: might be a teensy bit disturbing to those who don't like excessive gore. Lots of grammar and spelling errors, I'll fix them once its complete.

The Fires of Vidar by harrypanther

Supernatural/Modern AU. Finding three mysteriously dead teens causes Sheriff Snotlout Jorgensen to call in his cousin and his band of supernatural investigators. Unexpectedly finding themselves in the past, Hiccup has to solve the mystery or they will all share the dead teens fate. Sequel to 'The Spectre of Raven Point' A/N: Halloween again and I couldn't resist the opportunity to deploy paranormal investigator Hiccup Haddock once more. Of course, there are no more spooky lighthouses in need of exorcism but a spooky house, some mysterious murders and a century-old wrong should keep him busy. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I do not own How To Train Your Dragon. Rights remain with Cressida Cowell and Dreamworks. Brief reference to family names from 'Interesting Times' by Terry Pratchett. The man was a genius. RIP. Apologies to Vala 411 for Astrid's qualifications.

Haunted by YourAverageNerd_

Raven Zheng is definitely not crazy. At least - that's what she tells herself. It's hard to believe that when no one else can see what you see. You see, Raven can see the dead. Ghosts, if you will. They're people who died, just looking for closure and a way to move on from this life. When Raven meets Cade Woods, she's surprised to find a person who understand what she's going through, at least a little bit. He doesn't see the dead, per se, but he's seen enough death in his life to see her point of view. And then the first body is found. Soon enough, Raven is catapulted into Cade's world. There seems to be a serial killer in town, one who has connections to Cade and his father that makes him a suspect in the murders, and Raven has no way to know whether or not he can be trusted at all, given his past and his suspicious parentage. But as the body count climbs, Raven and Cade realize that they might be the only ones with the knowledge to stop the killer, even if they have to embrace their past to do it.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

Jane Grey by AceBookworm13

Ten months ago, high-school graduate and beloved girlfriend Jane Moreaux had disappeared from her home without any trace to where she went. Her phone screen was smashed and many of her personal items including clothes and photographs vanished along with her. Deemed dead after two months of investigating, everyone went about their lives as if nothing had occurred...but those close to her wanted justice, a proper investigation. Closure. No body was found, not even a single strand of DNA found anywhere. And then Kira came along, unsuspecting to the detective looking to prove his guilt. This serial killer had some sort of motive and due to how recent it was, infamous detective L knew somewhere in his mind that they were linked in addition to a case of his past. Unsure of how quite yet, but he was determined that they were. Jane Moreaux, strung in the middle of this all somehow. A woman waiting to be found.
