The Ghosts of Northanger Hall

- Votes 24
- Parts 22
Katie Morland doesn't just believe ghosts exist - she's absolutely positive they're real. She hasn't read thousands of ghost stories or watched hundreds of episodes of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures for them to be fake. She just has to PROVE it.
When she meets the Tilney siblings and finds herself with the opportunity to set up her ghost hunting gig in a maybe-probably-possibly-definitely real life haunted house, Northanger Hall, she won't let anything stand in her way. Not love. Not family. And not even a possible murder.
A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey with ghosts, a Twitch channel, and a haunted house in New England.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
