Ghost stories from Ohio

For three weeks, my nephew Leo had been fighting sleep like it was a war he was losing. At first, my sister Mira thought it was just teenage angst, the...
The Cleanse at Red Hollow
I remember the summer we moved to Red Hollow as a time when the light seemed thinner, as if the sun itself was reluctant to touch the earth there. My...
The Rook’s Last Caw
I turned twelve on a Tuesday, and my parents finally agreed to leave me alone for the night. It was a small victory, but it tasted like freedom. My older...
The Cartographer’s Last Meridian
I never believed in the cartographer’s curse, not until I inherited Uncle Jasper’s map shop. The shop itself was a narrow, dusty space wedged between a pawnbroker and a failing...
The Crimson Grocery List
Mara was twenty-six, a single mother to a three-year-old named Lily, and she hadn’t slept through the night in months. The terrors had evolved from vague childhood fears into visceral,...
The Puppet Gallery of Ashford House
My eighteenth birthday fell on the same week my parents had to attend a custody hearing in a town called Mercer, five hours from our home. They left my younger...
The Crossover Protocol
I was twelve, standing at the corner of Maple and 9th, waiting for the light to change. My friends, Jake and Lila, were arguing about which comic book character would...
The Constant Weight of Names
My name is Elara, and I’ve always had a knack for knowing things I shouldn’t. Not like psychic visions in a carnival tent, but more like an itch at the...
The Shelf of Unfinished Things
In the late summer of 2004, I was going through my grandmother’s attic with my cousin, Lena. She had recently inherited the old farmhouse in the hills of West Virginia,...
The Harvest Lantern
The autumn I turned nine, my family moved to the edge of a dying town named Goldengrove, where the main street was lined with shuttered shops and the only sound...

Marlo had been a sound engineer for twenty-three years, and in all that time, she had learned to trust her ears above all else. So when the static began, she...
The Green Receipt
The summer of my ninth year, my sister Dana and I went to stay with Aunt Margo and her partner, Uncle Pete. They’d just moved into a house on the...
The Inked Invitation
I’ve always been a rational man. Thirty years in the military, then a decade on the force—I’ve seen shattered bodies and cold eyes, things that would break a man’s mind....
The Lantern in the Loft
At six, I knew the shape of every crack in the ceiling of my new bedroom. They were rivers and roads, and I would trace them with my finger before...
The Stillness at 3:03
I’ve always been a heavy sleeper. When I was a kid, my dad used to joke that you could set off a bomb next to my head and I’d just...
The Silk Touch
When I was eight, my family lived in a creaking old boarding house on the edge of a town that had more cemeteries than living souls. My mother managed the...
The Last Reel
In the summer of 2018, my wife, Elena, our daughter, Mira, and I decided to take a weekend trip to the historic town of Blackwood Falls, nestled in the Appalachian...
The Student Health Center Incident
Dr. Evelyn Marsh had always prided herself on her rationality. As a professor of comparative literature, she dealt in symbols, metaphors, and the human condition—not in ghosts. But when her...
The Static Orchard
On the last Tuesday of August, Deputy Marshal Callie Renn was ferrying a witness statement from Ash County to the regional barracks in Silver Hollow. The sky to the west...
The Lantern in the Hollow
In the years before the incident, I lived in a rented cottage at the edge of a woodland called the Hollow. The locals avoided it after dusk, muttering about a...
The Porcelain Scent of Ruth
The summer of ’78 found my friend Carl and his soon-to-be bride, Miriam, renting the top floor of a sagging Victorian on Bramblewood Lane in the town of Harrow. The...
The Static That Sings
In the sweltering heat of early August 2011, I sat on the cracked linoleum floor of my studio apartment in a faded suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. My daughter, Lily, who...
The Lantern in the Root Cellar
It was the summer of 1987 when my family moved into the old Beaumont place. My father had inherited a small trust from his late aunt, and my parents decided...
