Because everyone is convinced that she developed a psychological problem after watching her Aunt and Uncle burn to death in their home. That couldn't be farther from the truth. There's something more to the dark voices that October hears, that even she can't figure out yet.

One thing's for sure, October's secret may drive her to insanity and kill everyone she loves if she doesn't get help soon. The clock is ticking. Can she save herself?

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

Perception (Apparition Investigations #1) by ElizaLainn

Ghostbusters meets X-Men in a creepy urban fantasy adventure! "A pocket watch. She bought a pocket watch and it killed her. And I thought how we died was bad." As far as apartments go, roommates Stella and Charlotte "Bronte" believe theirs to be just fine. Sure, they hate taking the stairs up to the third floor, especially after grocery shopping. And yes, the apartment staff could be a bit nicer. But all things considered, it's not a bad place to live. Until the sudden chills begin, seizing them at inexplicable times. Until Bronte starts to see shadows out of the corner of her eye and Stella begins to hear voices too close, sighs too near to be the culprit of paper-thin walls. Century-old ghosts Oliver and Cyril have seen what happens to mortals forced, unknowingly, to spend time in their company. For the unlucky few, their perceptions change, allowing them to perceive the departed. And not everyone, they know, are strong enough to handle living with the dead. Determined to save Stella and Bronte from the fate that befell their last haunting, Oliver and Cyril must find a way to prevent their perceptions from deepening. But when the two ghosts encounter a dark creature unlike any they've seen before, they might have to rethink their plan. The two girls might be the key to saving their afterlives. Not to mention themselves.

Deceased Estate by Geoff Shearer by GeoffShearer

ANTIQUE dealer Joshua McAdams at first believes he has purchased the most important deceased estate so far in his young career. The estate of Elizabeth Crowe, the former headmistress of the local girls college who shot herself dead after attending her companion's funeral, is rich with treasures, but even richer in sinister, and what will prove deadly, secrets. When the Crowe mansion is being prepared for removal to make way for a housing estate, a hidden pit is found near the rear of the historic building. Inside are the skeletal remains of an infant and two girls who went missing two decades earlier - one of them, Josh's beloved little sister Sophie. As Elizabeth Crowe's possessions are scattered wide and far through Josh's shopfront and online auctions, via charity shops and secondhand stores, a coronial inquiry finds Crowe guilty of the three deaths. But the findings are flawed and from beyond her grave, a furious, murderous Crowe becomes intent on avenging the false accusations. Via her possessions, her now repositioned house, even through the very soil where the mansion once stood, Crowe's horrific haunting will see her once beloved coastal town become shrouded in terror, insanity and bloods, lots of blood. It is up to Joshua to not only find some way of appeasing Crowe but to uncover the mystery of the burial pit and the real person responsible for the killings. It will test his stamina, his mental strength and what he thought were the principles behind guilt and innocence.

Impotent Death: A Paranormal Mystery by organicorganism

"It wasn't me, it was the ghost. That's the whole point!" she shouted. "Fine. But let's do it again. Just to make sure." I wasn't ready to admit there was a ghost talking to my sister. In 1933, Robyn Weller, a young interior designer, was murdered in cold blood by her husband's closest friend. 79 years later, a sixteen-year-old girl named Makayla Moore moves into the killer's mansion with her family. All is well, until Makayla's little sister claims to have close communication with a spirit that's been haunting the house for several decades. The two sisters discover secrets about the house and about the past that no one has ever dared believe. Will they successfully expose ancient lies? Or will an unseen enemy silence them first? ***This story is completely my original work.

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.

Shadows Of The Past by NIBloomfield

With all its vindictive beauty like the black cobra entwined on the chest of sandalwood - the Golden mansion stood still under the wraps of death and devastation waiting for countless catastrophes to occur holding many concealed secrets in its heart. The mystery that lived unturned for centuries here in the outskirts of Lexington, Kentucky. The age old Mystique Mansion once again opened the doors of doom ready to spill more blood in its wide gorgeous rooms. It is here where Kayla Claire Winston understood the reason why her endless visions had chased her forever like her own shadow. It is this place where she understood the subtle connotation of life and death. Where the pure power of her binding love grew stronger and also felt the cold breeze of fatality wiping their bodies. And then, saw the blazing sun leading their way out of darkness, felt its radiant heat warming them once again - Azure. .....................
