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.

~Wattys 2025 shortlister!~ After a wild adventure involving a powerful magic book, drug dealer Nathan has abandoned his criminal ways. He now works a minimum wage job and is learning filming and video editing from a certain YouTube star, which may or may not involve demon summoning more often than not. But even though everything seems to be going smoothly, it's hard to truly leave the past behind, especially since his feelings for Jamie have become more than strictly platonic.

GHOST 👻 (A Paranormal Romance) by Cocosghost

Frizzy haired and overweight, sixteen year old Elizabeth Summers hears ghosts. She also reads people's auras and sees when something bad is headed their way. Unfortunately, she can't choose which ghosts visit her psychic hotline or when her paranormal abilities are triggered. Since dealing with otherworldly spirits won't help her gain social acceptance in her high school, she hides her psychic gift. Reluctantly, Elizabeth starts exploring her psychic skills, and Dresden's paranormal activity when handsome Australian loner, Dylan Grant, asks her to help him find out what happened to his missing sister. As the summer heats up, Dylan begins to see Elizabeth in a different light than the overweight, psychic girl he corralled for her paranormal abilities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Excerpt from Ghost) "There's a spell on this book." Madame Regina frowns, her brow creasing in concern. "No, not a spell. It's a curse!" Alarmed, I feel the temperature of the room plunge as our breaths collectively plume into the frigid air. The unnatural cold feels as if someone's opened a large freezer door. I can't stop shivering. Madame Regina makes a strangled cry of distress, her voice growing urgent. "Demons are trying to come through. Whatever happens, don't break the circle." Dylan and Jerry look terrified as the delicate tea cup sitting by Jerry's hand starts rattling uncontrollably. Glancing down, I check to see if he's touching the china, but both of his hands are lying flat on the table. Everything's shaking as if we're in a seismic earthquake. "In the name of Christ, I exorcise you from this room!" Madame Regina shouts the command as the feet of the table rises two inches, then crashes back to the floor. Shaking pictures on the wall start rattling, adding to the mayhem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My beautiful new cover is by @SashaLeighS.

GHOST PORTAL (#1 GHOST PORTAL series) by StephRose1201

If you're triggered by something sinister, do you seek its meaning, or do you leave it alone? *** Small-town barista and occasional stray animal rescuer Jessamine Spencer never would have guessed that a video about missing paranormal show-host Amy LaRoya would rile her up so badly, to the point of having nightmarish visions of the house where Amy was last seen, and an ominous sense that she'd been there before. But when Amy's fellow paranormal host Avery Boomer turns up at Jessamine's coffee-shop asking questions, he discovers that Jessamine is in fact linked to Amy--because she WAS at the mystical house Amy was last seen at. The problem is, Jessamine doesn't recall any of the circumstances that led her to be there, nor how she escaped. And Avery needs to locate Amy, because her final footage seems to imply something was after her and might have gotten to her; something clearly supernatural in nature. If Avery convinces Jessamine to help him, will she recover enough of her memories to navigate to this mystery house, and hopefully find Amy there? Or is there more hiding in the forest--forces and prophesies that Avery and Jessamine will never understand? *** Join me as I share the new version of the first novel I ever *fully* wrote! Trigger warning for language, violence, sexual situations, mentions of suicide, possession, jump-scares, and overall disturbing stuff. Enjoy ♥

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist by OnceUponASonder

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.

The Girl Who Was "Insane" {SPN} by Snowkat2003

"I was put in here because they thought I was insane, but I'm not. I might hear voices in my head, but that doesn't mean I'm crazy. This supernatural stuff you keep talking about, I know that it's true. I know because I am a..." ~Amelia "Amy" Tyler. Amelia Tyler was put into a mental facility at the age of 13. Why is because she heard voices in her head and sometimes they lead her places. Those places she was lead to usually ended up having something big happen there. Amy also had these weird dreams that would tell her who was going to die. Of course what happens to her scares her, but she just learns to deal with it. 3 years later and Amy is still in the mental hospital. A lot of weird things are going on and the whispers and dreams are getting more frequent. People are dying left and right, but the only person who has a good idea about who is murdering people is Amy. Two new people came to the hospital also. Who are they? Why do they seem interested in not only the killings, but her as well. Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural, its characters, or its plot. I only own Amy, my ideas for her, and anything not seen in the show.
