The hospital closed nearly twenty years ago. The doors are chained, the windows boarded, and the records buried in dust. But some wards never truly shut.
Robert "Mr Big" ruled the locked ward with iron discipline, feared by patients and staff alike. He thought his authority made him untouchable-until the day the walls turned against him, and his own reflection became his executioner.
Now, ghost hunter Troy has come to uncover the truth. Armed with little more than a recorder and a sharp mind, he walks the silent corridors where Robert once held power. But the echoes he finds are not just whispers-they are confessions, accusations, and the remnants of a man who refused to be forgotten.
In Hell Ward, the dead still speak. And Troy must decide whether to set them free... or leave them to rot in the ruins they built.

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
The Crescent
In 1939, young journalist Will Drachman is murdered during a visit to Dr. Norman Baker's alleged Cancer Curing Hospital. To move on, Will needs his body properly buried. But there's one problem - he has no idea where it is. Fast forward seventy-eight years, sixteen-year-old Zacari Jones is on a grudging getaway to salvage her relationship with her father at the hospital-turned-hotel named The Crescent. She discovers an old-fashioned camera beneath the floorboards of her room, also known as Baker's old office, and it proves to be more than a dusty artifact when she peers through and finds she is able to communicate with the ghost of Dr. Baker. As Dr. Baker sheds light on his legacy, Will has something to say on the matter. Faced with ghostly contradictions, Zacari must determine who is telling the truth, all the while juggling a neglectful father, a possible romance, and chihuahua sidekick prone to fits of uncontrollable urinating.Complete![The EMT [Sample/In the Editing Process]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/402095613-256-k212685.jpg)

Twice Born
Grief can open doors the living were never meant to find. After losing her brother, Elowen Anderson thought the worst was behind her. But grief doesn't rest, it lingers, it listens. There's a threat. It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time. Yet the more she learns of his pain, the harder it becomes to tell who the true monster is, the hollow spirit that haunts her, or the world that made him. As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.
Loving The Liar
I met him in the ward-room 407, just down the hall from mine. He said he was broken like me. Quiet. Gentle. Safe. But he's not a patient. He checked himself in. And I'm the reason he came. After the overdose, they said I'd lost control. But he knows the truth-because he's the one who watched me fall. Now I'm stuck inside this hospital with him, and the boy I'm falling for might be the very reason I tried to die. He says he can fix me. But first, I have to remember what he did.Complete
The Ghost Book
An expert forensic team are called to the base to investigate a digital security breach, leading to the 141 team hosting one of the investigators. Their temporary guest, a rather odd young woman, seems to have an extreme and rather troubling reaction to Ghost's presence. But when clues to her strange behaviour are uncovered, Ghost's anger and suspicious nature gets the best of him and his quest for answers, forces him to face the darkest parts of himself. So this is a wee bit different. This story formed part of a longer work in progress. However, as that story grew, it was clear that this arc, added an unnecessarily complicated aspect to my main protagonist. Rather than let the longer story get too messy, I decided to make this a short story on it's own. The character is similar but I did end up changing her name and back story.Complete
