In my Summer Wind, 29 year-old Ginger is mysteriously drawn to the old mansion, and like the many owners of the real mansion, the haunting had a negative and profound effect on Ginger and her family. Carver's ghost is, supposedly, searching the house's foundations for deeds to a vast tract of land (10,000 square miles) given to him by Sioux Indian chiefs as a reward for the peace treaty he created between two warring tribes. I learned of the colonial explorer Jonathon Carver who lived during the 1700s and whose ghost is believed to be haunting the Summerwind estate, built in the early 20th century.
On the Discovery Channel, is where I got the idea for "Summer Wind". The legend says no tenant is able to stay there until the spirits are chased off by a paranormal investigation team.
And "The Apartment", in which my newlyweds, Bill and Gayle, are plagued by sightings of evil ghosts that threaten their marriage and theirs lives, originated from a real apartment haunted by the ghosts of two homosexual lovers who died violently. A television documentary about a young mother plagued by ghost sightings since childhood, inspired "The Haunting of Barb Marie" and her gift/curse. In "The Legend of Lake Manor", I placed my young psychic, Cassandra Lopez, in a haunted mansion I fashioned on my knowledge of a three-story mansion in my hometown and information from television about a restaurant/bar in Ohio, supposedly ruled by demons so violent that the local police are constantly closing it down. Some of the stories from my anthology, Wicked Intentions, are based on actual hauntings. I watch television programs with the supernatural and paranormal flare documentaries from ordinary people who claim they experienced either an afterlife experience, or a haunting. For my ghost stories, I get a lot of my inspiration from real life experiences. Programs from ordinary people who claim they experienced either an afterlife experience, or a haunting. I watch television programs that partake of the supernatural and paranormal flare. When it comes to ghost stories, I get a lot of my inspiration from real life experiences. The author can go completely over the edge and make something unbelievable seem believable. That is why I love writing paranormal and fantasy stories. When it comes to fiction writing, almost anything goes. JoAnne's collection of paranormal short stories is titled Wicked Intentions (Melange Books trade paperback and ebook formata) and we asked her how developing paranormal plotlines differs from those of standard fiction. We are delighted to welcome back author JoAnne Myers to Omnimystery News.
