Dark Soul (Haunted America)

- [x]

Hildy James: recent college grad, wife, and journalist, has an extraordinary ability, she can see and communicate with the dead. Hired right out of college by Haunted America, a large multimedia company that specializes in the publication of America's most haunted, she has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. Hildy, her husband, Charlie, his twin, Cooper, and friends, Lizzy and Oliver, set out to uncover the secrets of the Clayton estate for their first assignment. Hildy thought this would be a simple weekend, with peaceful ghosts, like she had encountered in the past. She never expected to be targeted by a dark soul, though. A dark soul that wanted to remain hidden in the shadows, and would do anything to make sure that Hildy remained there, too. Excerpt: There it was again. The sound of a woman weeping hung heavy in the air. This was the reason I was running aimlessly alone in the dark. It was coming from a few feet in front of me. Then it stopped. “Hello?” I called out nervously. I came to a stop and strained to make out even the slightest sight or sound. The silence was deafening. I could feel my heart pounding and my breath came out in pants. I stood there for what felt like an eternity, when in reality it was only a couple of minutes. I took a deep breath, but before I could release it, she was right there. “She’s right behind you.” She whispered. A twig snapped. My blood ran cold. Before I could turn around, I felt two hands shove me hard from behind. What was once solid ground beneath my feet, morphed into air, and I went barreling over the side of the cliff.
