Deep in the Essex countryside, the Grey Lady of Patience Bridge lures unwary travelers to their deaths. At nearby Temple Roding manor, superstitious maidservant Letty believes herself cursed, and is desperate for help. The irrepressible Perkin is secretly enlisted to quell her fears but he soon discovers that something unearthly is stalking Letty. Why has it picked on this innocent young beauty, and could the haunting be connected with the Grey Lady's tragedy? 
To free herself, Letty hazards everything in a daring gamble, and the smitten Perkin agrees to help. But if her plan fails, it won't just be the dead who are determined to take their revenge on the pair, but the living as well. And the living can be far more dangerous.All Rights Reserved

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.

Kissing the Devil Goodbye by Bellisima1009

Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"

The Witch of Avery by mrs_kaeli

When her great-aunt Georgia dies unexpectedly, Katie Rogers leaves her dead-end life in Tennessee to inherit the family curios shop in the small town of Avery, Vermont where she learned magic in the summers of her youth. Now, Katie can barely cast a decent hangover spell, and with so little power remaining in her gem necklace, she's running out of options. While her money-hungry mother and sister pressure her to seek help from an old flame, Katie struggles to keep the business afloat by herself while fending off help from the perky, intrusive mayor. But when a decades-old illness makes a stunning return to town, people cast their suspicions on the new witch, especially the annoyingly handsome Sheriff Holte. At least Katie has Allister to distract her-a smooth-talking salesman with a penchant for making deals and showing up at just the right time. As Katie's bad reputation grows, so do the mysterious circumstances surrounding Georgia's death. With the help of her friends, and her furry familiar Reggie, Katie uncovers the secrets of Avery, and a strength within herself that goes much deeper than the botched love spell that got her into this mess.

But when Genevieve arrives at Somerset Park estate, she discovers that the handsome and aloof Mr. Pemberton is anything but the heartbroken lover she expected.

But when ghoulish incidents begin to plague the manor, the dogged heroine realizes her tricks may not be required after all.
