Having to have died ages ago without the ability to pass on to the other side was tough. But sitting through the ages knowing the other side of the war had won made it all the worst! What better outlet was there than scaring the daylights out of the living who dared claim your home as theirs?
The soul of a Confederate fighter finds the familiar routine has begun: the modern wench setting the sign in front of his home, a family finding the house adorable, that same family moving their unflattering furniture about like they owned the place! But that always leads to the most entertaining part of being a ghost: the haunting.
But this family of three carries a small surprise he doesn't expect. For the first time, somebody who was alive SEES him! The boy no older than six, and the soldier and his ghostly acquaintances have no idea how to handle this new experience: does the man allow the boy's family to stay and appease their timely curiosity? Or do they treat them like any other who has entered his home and make sure their afterlives stay uninterrupted?

[COMPLETED] In the year 1921, a family was brutally murdered in a small cottage. The place could fit a small family and had a large garden, it was isolated and quiet, a perfect place to get away with murder and that's exactly what happened. The Avery family was killed. A mother and her son. They were both too young to die, the mother only being 34 and the son only being 16. No one understood why anyone would want to kill the little family, who's been through hell and back after the father walked out on them. He took all the money forcing them to move into the tiny home. Even then, they were still positive about things until... The terrifying day took place. No one has ever moved into the house since then, considering all the rumors going around about the son haunting the cottage. His first sighting being a few months after the murder and since then there's been many reports of his shadowy figure in the windows. Teenagers often explored the place but as soon as they were out of the house, they never went back inside. - Zach Herron, aged 17, now ready to move into a house of his own. After being under his parents watchful eye for years, he's ready to finally walk on his own two feet. He could've moved out at 16, legal age in England, but decided against it but now he was prepared. The cottage seemed like a fitting place for him to stay, he's seen the reviews about it being 'haunted' but paid no mind to it. [This story was written and finished a long time ago, meaning it's completely awful and I highly regret writing it now. I won't stop you from reading if you so desperately want to for whatever reason but please be mentally prepared to cringe multiple times.]Complete
Hope (Based on Call of Duty Ghosts) (Final Book of the Faith Trilogy)
Pain. I didn't know the actual feeling until now. With pain came the emotional experience of hatred and love. None of it did I think I'd actually get to feel pulsing through my blood. The war has begun, it always has been. Now that I've lost people I've loved, I will make them pay. Pay for the lives they've taken and lost. Pay for what they've done. I have people to protect, people to love, and people to enjoy. Now that others have messed with those people, I will kill what stands in my way. Merrick, Hesh, Logan, Kick....all of them. The Federation and my betrayal of a brother will be with them too, all buried in a grave. And I swear by the end of this day, there will finally be a victor. ~~~ Hailey has lost her mind. Everything that once was, is now gone. After the disasters just a year ago, she changed. She left. The Ghosts are alone now and seem more lost than ever before. Without Hailey, they fear, nothing will be won....only lost- especially with a dark, dangerous shadow ready to strike and take back what's theirs. In this final battle of true and false, it will come down to the final two sides: Family and Enemy. The mystery is just figuring out which side is which. ~~~ All credit goes to the makers of Call of Duty: Ghosts! The story line, Alec, Ivana, Hailey, and Hailey's other family members are mine, but the rest of the characters/weapons are completely theirs!Complete
Ghost Hunter: CyberNerf (Alternative Draft)
NOTE TO READERS: This is an alternative draft that we wrote for Saving Rose. It's the same story, but written differently. If you read both, we'd love to hear which you prefer! After Ned's family inherited an old mansion falling apart at the seams, Ned began to play pranks on his six older siblings, trying to convince them the house was haunted. But Ned might as well have been invisible because his family wasn't fooled. Ned was just a nuisance and he really just wanted attention. His dad nagged him to pick up a tool kit and help with the chores, but Ned had a more important job-hunting imaginary ghosts with his Foam Blaster 10,000. It was the only gift he'd ever received that wasn't a hand-me-down. Sometimes the foam darts accidentally got stuck on his siblings' foreheads and that was usually his cue to run upstairs, lock himself in his room, and play his favorite online game, CyberGhost, while he let one of his siblings cool off. But when an anonymous offline player messages Ned to tell him that they need help stopping a ghost invasion IRL, Ned feels important for the first time in his life. He knew it was just a game, but could they actually be serious?Complete

The Masks in Your Life (Ghost x Reader)
18+ | contains smut, emotional/psychological abuse, canon-typical violence | please read the first chapter for more information After a mission that didn't go exactly as planned, Ghost gets assigned a covert mission. But spying on a target who doesn't deliver is less intriguing than watching the beautiful, young woman across the street. Too beautiful to always be alone, too young to look this miserable. He couldn't help but compare you to a bird, a beautiful, magnificent one that was caged against its will, having its wings clipped by someone who didn't understand its urge to be free.Complete
The Lost Treasure
This story is taking place in the 2010s, a group of teens living in Maryland hear about a lost treasure at Point Lookout State Park, one of the most haunted lighthouses in the U.S. They make It their mission for them to find it by the time School starts but little did they know it wouldn't be an easy task...... BEWARE THIS STORY GETS GRAFIC AND CRUEL! DISCLAIMER- The ghost sighting with Mark is an actual experience I had camping here at point lookout state park, it was a night I'll never forget. I can't grasp about what I saw that night, can't comprehend on what it was, it was my first thought, a tall gentleman about 6 feet wearing a confederate uniform standing behind my charred fire with only coals. There was minimal light none on our campsite he just kept looking at me moving back and forth. The part that really scares me is that it was at 3 in the morning, I don't normally wake up in the middle of the night while camping and 3am is also know as devils hour or witches hour just something to think about or is it just a coincidence?Complete

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitComplete
