A Haunting Love Story 

Just in time for Halloween 🎃 👻 


When Emily Portman takes a trip to Concord, Massachusetts she has no idea what she is hoping to find there.

However, by the second night strange and even unsettling events begin taking place at the Elizabeth Inn.

The deeper Emily digs into the mystery surrounding the "Whistling Rider" and a 245 year old tragedy the more enamored she is by this strange place, and the suspicious Country Club owner who is nearly as haunting as the ghosts in and out of the Inn.

The living, the dead, and what lies in between by soyungatonegro_

Important Notice This is a work of fiction created solely for entertainment purposes. While some elements of the story are inspired by cultural practices and traditions related to Haitian culture and other sources, this work incorporates numerous fictional and creative elements that should not be taken literally or as an accurate representation of any belief, religion, practice, or specific community. It is not intended to offend, ridicule, or pass judgment on any culture, group, religion, or tradition. Any resemblance to actual people, events, or practices is purely coincidental. I appreciate your understanding and respect for cultural diversity and remind you that this story is intended solely as a fictional narrative. Amelia Rosales, a fearless anthropologist, travels to the remote community of Montagne des Âmes in Haiti to document its ancestral traditions. What begins as a cultural study quickly turns into a harrowing descent into dark rituals, impossible secrets, and a "selection process" that tests the boundaries of humanity. In a place where the living, the dead, and something else intertwine, Amelia must choose whether to remain an observer or confront a truth that could consume her.

Fractured Legacy: Aicil Paranormal Files #1 by SkyeCallahan

"Callahan has combined two very intriguing characters with a great storyline to create a fast-paced supernatural tale." (Kimber Leigh Wheaton) Paranormal investigator, Kaylyn is thrilled with the opportunity to investigate the Teague Hotel-a beautiful historic building at the heart of Chatham, Ohio-with a not-so-beautiful past. But the conditions of her investigation aren't so ideal... First, she screws up on what should be a simple "pick-up" when she's sent to the local historical society to retrieve an occult object with unknown powers. Then, her new boss threatens to fire her on the spot, potentially ending the career she's dreamed about and worked for her whole life. Unfortunately, even after he relents and gives her one final chance to prove her worth to the organization, things continue to go wrong. Terribly wrong. Unexplainable dreams and blackouts... Fires... Unrelenting attacks against her mind, body, and soul, that may or may not be real. If Kaylyn stands any chance of defeating the powerful force waiting for her in the hotel, she'll first have to convince everyone around her that the threat isn't only in her head. And-possibly the harder task-face up to the fact that she needs to ask for help. "The ending scenes had me on the edge of my seat, behind a cushion hugging my dog." (Never judge a Book by its Movie) Book 1 in the Aicil Paranormal Files Join the members of Aicil, a centuries old organization dedicated to researching and fighting the forces that stalk humankind from just beyond the veil of darkness. Hauntings, occult objects, supernatural beings.... they're just the beginning for these investigators.

Whispers on Blood Lake by notmarriiii

THIS IS FICTIONAL! ITS NOT A TRUE STORY PLEASE DONT RESEARCH IT!! This book is based off the Conjuring and the Haunting of the Hill House Please enjoy ☺️ More than a century ago, the soil around Blood Lake ran red. A British regiment vanished there after a brutal clash with the Wampanoag tribe - and the land was cursed with the echoes of their rage. Now, in the present day, the Carter family moves into the lakeside house built over that haunted ground. For Michael Carter, a history teacher with a passion for old places, it's a dream home - a quiet escape for his wife Laura, their teenage daughter Emily, young son Ben, and their loyal German shepherd, Rex. But from their first night, the past refuses to stay buried. Gunfire cracks in the distance at dawn. War drums pound beneath the lake at night. Emily begins painting scenes she's never witnessed - of slaughter and smoke. Ben whispers about a friend no one else can see. And something inhuman walks the halls, leaving muddy footprints that never dry. As the haunting deepens, the Carters uncover the dark truth of what happened on Blood Lake - and realize the restless dead are not only reliving their final battle, but seeking vengeance. To free themselves, they must face the horrors of history itself... and the blood debt that demands to be paid. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and heart-pounding, Whispers on Blood Lake blends historical tragedy and modern terror in a tale that will leave readers sleeping with the lights on.

Whispers of the Heartwood... by LostMorganna

"My ideal type... Tall, dark hair, piercing blue eyes... Intelligent, confident, and a hint of mystery... Can make me laugh, even on my worst days... Loves adventure, tries new things, and isn't afraid to take risks..." As she wrote, the room seemed to grow quieter, as if the universe was holding its breath. Emily felt a shiver run down her spine. What was she getting herself into? Just as she finished writing, a sudden gust of wind blew through the room, extinguishing the lights. Emily gasped, her heart racing. What was happening? And then, a low, smooth voice spoke out of the darkness: "Hey, darling... why are you up so late?"

Not when they both were attracted to each other on levels they didn't understand. *** "What were you thinking was going to happen tonight?" I question, trying hard to conceal the surge of surprise she's brought on to me. She leans in closer to my face, her voice a seductive whisper "A one night stand". What the fuck? Is she trying to play some kind of a game with me? Because it's working, she keeps surprising me and I couldn't hate her more right now. My hand reaches out to grab her face, my cool skin feels uncomfortable over her warm cheeks. She leans into my touch, green eyes fixed on mine. "As much as I'd like to do that, I have an agenda for tonight" I pull my hand back unwillingly. "What agenda?" She looks at me as if I have grown another head. "I'm going to be honest here, I'm not taking you to have sex with you. This is a kidnapping" *** WARNING! CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEX SCENES, VIOLENCE! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

Oblivion || Tate Langdon - Completed by Kyranicole713

NOTE: This is a somewhat AU story. Tate is not necessarily tied to just Murder House - it will be explained fairly early on why this is so be on the lookout. This may seem like your typical Tate story and it is at some parts but there is so much more to it as well especially later on). Sixteen year old Jade Song and her mother move to Los Angeles to help with her elderly grandmother. She meets a young boy named Tate - who is dead unbeknownst to her - at the tag sale next door. Here, he sells her an antique necklace with a history supposedly tied to her house. As weird things begin to happen in the house and Tate seemingly follows her wherever, she begins to question if the necklace is involved somehow. Tate is seemingly sweet but secrets about him eventually begin to unravel as do many revelations about Jade herself and even her family. How will Jade handle the tumultuous events in the house hold? Will she and Tate be together forever, as promised? What role do the secrets play? "I don't want you going near that girl, Tate." I felt my mother creep behind me in her silk robe as I watched Jade walking around her back yard, adorned in a white dress against the dark trees, casting even darker silhouettes on the ground. "But - " "No buts, Tate," my mother asserted, pointing a finger at me. "She's too pure. You will not bring Hell upon that house."

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎ by SammyE9

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
