-
It's only been three weeks since Vera Watson and her father moved to Goldhurst Lighthouse. She's trying her best to settle in, but it's hard when they're the only non-white family living on the property. And to make matters worse, she's never worked at a lighthouse before.  

But when a storm rolls in--the first one Vera will experience since moving here--everything changes. In the middle of the raging tempest, Vera finds a strange girl by the rocky shore. Wearing a white dress, her skin pale white and her hair as dark as the night, she looks like a ghost. 

Thing is, she is. 

And she's asking Vera for help.

DEPARTED (#2 in the VANISHED series) #NaNoWriMo2020 ✔ by StephRose1201

Death. What happens after it? What lies beneath the surface? Poor Arielle Daniels stumbled through dangerous hoops to figure this out. She wakes in a new place--the Void--and discovers that what waits after death are layers, dimensions, and sadly... more questions. Even with her new *friend*--that she nicknames THE GHOST, for lack of any other way to describe her--she feels alone, abandoned, afraid. In the living world, Benjamin "Benny" Brooks, knowledgeable in the occult and familiar with paranormal activity, can't crack the mystery behind her death. Or Stella's. Or even... Jade's. He and his FBI agent friend Kylie are on the scene, scraping for clues... and no matter how prepared they think to be, both will get much more than they bargained for. Will Arielle get her ultimate answers, at last? Will she conclude the business that's holding her in the Void? And will Benny finally show the world ghosts are real? • WARNING: this book mentions AND deals with suicide, but DOES NOT endorse it. PLEASE BEWARE. It is rated MATURE for that, among other triggering, sensitive issues. Proceed with caution.

Oh! My D E A D (GxG, Lesbian) by FallinginReverze

"l'll tell you a secret" I said to my friend almost whispering, she leaned closer then looked at me interested. I sighed heavily before speaking. "I see dead people" I said truthfully but she just laughed out loud in return. "You're Crazy" she said tapping my forehead. "Am I?" I asked myself. I'm saying the truth, last time I remember I was drag racing and when I woke up I see dead people. Including the most beautiful girl, no I mean ghost and She's hugging me from my back while laughing as well. It's supposed to be freaking scary but how come I am enjoying it? "I must be really crazy" I mumbled to myself then sighed again heavily. "Yes you are" the ghost girl replied then poked my cheeks, Unfortunately I am the only one that can see her..

🏆 ONC 2025 SHORT-LISTER 🏆 Warning: Explicit mentions of violence, suicide and sexual content. Please proceed with caution. Rated Mature. ============================================= The sun burns too hot outside. And inside her house, the heat isn't the worst thing. Her mother's words hit just as hard, reminding her that she's a disappointment. School isn't much better. No one notices when she's there, no one cares when she's gone. She's background noise, too exhausted to try anymore. And then the puddle appears. It shouldn't be there, not in this drought. When she kneels beside it, her reflection stares back. It blinks. It pulls her in. She thought she would die drowning in. But being alive, dragged into another world isn't the problem. Now she is important to this other world. Now, she is seen. But because she is so valuable, the General wants to use her. And possibly, someone that might want her to stay, for her. Portal is a paranormal fantasy adventure filled with sapphic tension, full of action and death, and a love that goes beyond worlds. For the Open Novella Writing Contest 2025.

VANISHED (#1 in the VANISHED series) #NaNoWriMo2019 ✔ by StephRose1201

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK for August 2021** *FEATURED IN THE "CHILLS AND THRILLS" READING LIST ON WATTPAD'S "Paranormal" page!* **FEATURED ON WATTPAD'S #PrideatWattpad READING LIST** Can we understand what happens after death by summoning ghosts? And are ghosts... real? Twenty-two-year-olds Arielle Daniels and Stella Sullivan go on an east-coast ghost-hunting tour to honor their recently deceased best friend, Jade, whose death remains a mystery. Only her parents know the circumstances, and they refuse to tell anyone. Stella wants to pay her respects by following Jade's bucket-list; but Arielle wants real, palpable answers. What happens after death? Why has she lost so many loved ones? And how exactly did Jade die? In the midst of their journey, Arielle realizes she might have been in love with Jade, but now... she has no way to be sure, and no idea how to reveal this to Stella--or anyone else, for that matter. As they travel, the girls discover more about themselves than they anticipated, both forced to come to terms with their emotions; Arielle to accept her bisexuality, and Stella to acknowledge her heritage as the descendant of a long line of psychic mediums. But the trip takes on an eerie tone when they get more than they bargained for, and swallow up more occult knowledge than either ever expected to find in their lifetimes. • WARNING: this book is rated MATURE for handling triggering, sensitive issues. There will be jumps, screams, and heart-palpitating moments. Proceed with caution.

The Day I Live by orpheusvamp

(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. DISCLAIMER: no images/videos are mine unless I say otherwise. Everything else belongs to me. Please don't steal, I do work hard on my stories.

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]
