Haunted houses have always been an effective subject for supernatural fiction and horror stories and your story fit the category to a T. You have natural gift for storytelling and helped progressed your story forward. Kudos, God bless.

Comment from CR Delport
I am very glad a get a chance to visit this writing from long ago. It is very interesting and if I compare it to your last book, I am sure you can see a big difference and see how your writing had developed in such a short time. Great stuff.

Thanks so much, CR. I am extensively editing each chapter before it goes out because it'd be even more painfully obvious was a novice I was when I started this three years ago LoL. Thanks so much for the encouraging review.

Comment from Joan E.
The misty artwork you selected set the mood well for this paranormal adventure. I liked your reference to the "website" in the opening paragraph to indicate the contemporary time period. Your specific details like the "Corolla" and the "gust of arctic air" made the setting come quickly to life. Thanks for the examples of "discarnate entities" and interesting characters in Mike and Mia too. Cheers- Joan

Paranormal investigation of a haunted manor Paranormal Adventures 'Bellingham Manor.' This is such a good chapter you have created here. I enjoyed the power in the narrative, and the structure of your work was solid. Well done.

Thank you so much, chasennov. It's quite different in that I have four main protagonists! Nothing like making things difficult. So appreciate your generous and encouraging review, my friend.

Comment from Rosalyne
Hi, Bev.
This is another great chapter. Paranormal activity is an exciting topic, and Mia's ability as a medium is fascinating. Your attention to details and dialogue is excellent, placing the reader immediately in the story. The caretaker is a great addition to the story, a man of eerie mystery.
I am glued to a television show called, Long Island Medium. I find it remarkable how Theresa Capputo can channel spirit.
Great topic for a book. I can't wait for more.
Bye
Hugs

Yes, I do plan to give you a call before the visit just to touch base and confirm everything if you don't mind. I believe you gave me your number already. I'll let you know when I plan to call just to make sure you'll be home. Can't wait!!
Yes, my mind is a rather strange place at times LoL.
Thanks for the great review... Love you!

Look forward to putting our strange minds together, doll! Am planning a huge baby shower for a friend's daughter at the moment. The good news is my aunt and uncle have changed their plans. I tried to sound disappointed when she told me - I think I did well! Hugs and love xxx

Comment from Jackreese
I love Ghost Hunters and Scariest Places on earth and this had all the elements of those shows and than some. Added plus for it being an actual crime. I will definitely keep my eye out for more.

Thanks so much, Jackreese. I really appreciate that you took time to read my chapter. I'm a lover of all things paranormal. I see those shows and anything else along those lines. I'm really stoked that it looks like Grant is coming back to GhostHunters when they debut in October. I knew he wouldn't stay away forever.
Thanks so much for the great review.

Writingfundimension: It's been months since I've been on site, so this is the first of your work I've read since March. I had forgotten how much I liked reading your work. I'm not sure how often I'm going to be on - depends on how soon my consulting job with the school system begins and how many hours a week I have to work. At any rate, I hope to be able to follow this book. Think it's going to be a winner.
Love,
Jan
