Welcome!

About a year ago, in a strange instance of life imitating one's art, I  joined Ghost Stories Ink. GSI was founded by Jessica Freeburg and is a group of authors and illustrators that moonlight as ghost hunters, searching for creative inspiration.

Over this last year, I've met other paranormal groups and realized, there are a lot of good ghost stories, waiting to be told.

Some ghost hunters are out there looking for evidence and proof that spirits exist. I already believe in ghosts (when you see one, it's sort of easier to believe in them). But I'm also an intuitive soul and I just know they are there, the way I know certain things - like when to slow down so I don't get a speeding ticket.

When I go on a ghost hunt, I'm not looking for proof as much as I am looking for their stories. Why are they haunting what they are haunting? Why did they stay behind? Do they know what's going on? What does the world look like from their spectral perspective? I don't know if I have any answers. But I do know, that the more I participate in paranormal investigations, the more compelled I am to share some of the stories.

I wasn't exactly sure how to do it, until now. Welcome to my new blog, Ghost Story Girl! Here, I will share some of my personal ghost stories, and I will invite others to do the same.

I can't think of a better week to start, than the one leading up to Halloween! I will countdown the rest of this week with a few stories, including the one I told on the Crypticon paranormal panel this past weekend. I will save the story from my night in the Stanley Hotel for Halloween.

There will, of course, be more to come after that...

I hope you enjoy them!
