Hailey waited impatiently for the ghost hunting team to return. They weren’t late, but the last two days were horrible. The activity was getting worse, and it forced them to remove much of the delicate parts and dolls from the attic just to ensure their safety. Eddie was pushed down the stairs, but thankfully could catch himself before he’d been seriously hurt. Hailey was certain there was something within that cabinet that was responsible for this activity. She didn’t know what, since magic and all that wasn’t her thing. Dealing with naughty spirits with her dolls was one thing. But this, this was something far darker and she couldn’t understand why it was left in this house. That cabinet dated back to when the house was a private home. For the life of her, she didn’t know what or why this appeared within this home. For that matter, she didn’t know when, either. Why wa

             Eric carried the last of the equipment to the attic. He wasn’t liking any of this. Eric’s fear of this unknown made him feel like Greta was focusing too much on a dangerous situation. He’d heard too much and tinkered with too many pieces of equipment not to know the messages they received were real. Real and too frequent for any haunting. This was too much. He didn’t want to cut and run, per se. No, he just wanted to take a step back and learn more about what they were getting involved in. Eric didn’t want to see Greta harmed in any way. He didn’t want to see any of them harmed.             They’d at least listened to him about bringing in a medium of some sort to help out with this. Now they’d found a key that should unlock the cabinet. There must be something awful in there since not only did th

Eric found Greta scrolling through the internet looking for information. This was her job for the show. It was her duty to research these things. But he didn’t envy her, her job. Much of this wasn’t easy to find, and she’d be up late contacting people or searching the internet. Digging in old archives or libraries. “Have you found anything yet?” Eric came into the upstairs library and spoke to Greta. He’d just finished retesting the equipment that appeared to malfunction on them. Also, he had a message from Hailey for Greta. “No, but I’m sure whatever is bothering Eddie and Hailey, someone kept it in that cabinet. When they moved it, the seal broke and now it’s roaming about probably angry about being sealed up like that for this long. We don’t know if they have more to be angry about, either. Has Hailey decided if we can unlock that book, we found? I don’t want to open it if she’s not comfortable with it. But I truly believe it will tell us a lot about what

Eric entered the dining room with several books and papers. He dropped them down at the table where Greta ate and searched the internet while she could connect to it. The struggle to get onto the internet and stay connect was a nightmare. Now, with the uptick in paranormal activity, it wasn’t just spotty internet, but batteries draining at an unnaturally fast rate, and equipment powering down at random. One machine used to make spirit voices available for them to hear, appeared to become possessed by several spirits that all needed to talk at once. None were interested in taking turn or working with the others. It forced them to shut it down and keep it turned off from then on. Which was no simple task when it would switch itself back on at random or they could say it was the will of the spirits. “I just got back from the bookshop, and she let me look at her private collection of documents on the history of ‘certain’ families in the area. Sure enough, Hailey’s family was conn

Kelly Jones, the owner of Page Turners, came armed with several bags. At first glance, she looked like she was coming to stay. But that wasn’t the case. They needed everything she brought with her for the ceremony. But she carefully stored all her equipment and supplies in what appeared to be custom storage containers.Gabby couldn’t do more than block windows and the section of the back garden from the guests as there wasn’t time to cancel bookings and she wouldn’t evict guests in the middle of their stay. They’d been warned of the haunted nature and odd happenings. This was just another odd happening. Or at least that’s how she instructed Jody to explain it. The guests didn’t need to know exactly what was happening in the back garden on a cold winter evening.Eric stomped his feet to get some warmth into them. This differed from being in the on the island. They couldn’t have any electric current close to this location at the time of the ritual for fear it might affect the results of
