Diary of a Haunted Girl- Excerpt

This is another novel Yvonne is currently working in. It is a piece of fiction, but also very loosely based on events and experiences in her own life. Let us know what you think of the books introduction!

A Haunted Girl

It didn’t seem to matter where I lived, the ghosts always followed me. They even followed me on visits, travels and vacations. I didn’t actually have to move for them to go along with me. It wasn’t until I was much older that I learned how to ground myself, and that I could carry a talisman, in order to help keep the spirits away, or at least leave them behind. I really think that they followed me, that I brought them to each place I found them at. I didn’t think like then back then, but I truly believe that now. It’s amazing the things that you learn as you grow older and wiser.

Now I am getting closer to forty and the ghosts that follow me don’t scare me anymore. I am used to them now. They aren’t like many of the evil ghosts that clung to me as a child. But, those evil ghosts are the ones I plan to tell you about. I’ll tell you about my experiences as a haunted girl through my own words and entries from the diaries I kept as I was growing up.

Let me start out by introducing myself. My name is Ivy Rose. I have lived in many homes over the past few decades. It seems like each home had something supernatural residing within it, but maybe it was just me. I started getting into witchcraft when I was thirteen, knew I was a Pagan when I was thirty and left all that behind to believe in something even greater by the time I turned thirty-five. Maybe it was my belief and openness to the occult that drew the spirits to me, both good and bad. Maybe it was the dabbling that brought the evil into my life and into my home. Maybe it was the change in my belief system as a wise old adult that turned all the bad spirits into good ones in my life now. Who knows? Who could know? Maybe I was just a very imaginative kid that grew into a super crazy adult that couldn’t let go of childish beliefs in the paranormal and the mythological. But, can childish beliefs turn on electrical appliances with no one around? Can it move objects in the same way? Can it break things while invisible? I think once you read my story you will believe that ghosts truly do exist too.
