This week we are taking a trip to Elfin Forest. Haunted houses are spooky, but you can leave or move most of the time. Haunted forests and land are a whole different issue, plus San Diego County is less known for its haunted forest and more for its beaches and surfing unless you ask locals ...

The path narrowed as she ran; her lungs burned with each breath. Then, up ahead, a steep incline appeared. She knew the area well enough and remembered there was a small, dark cave to take cover. With little time left for escape, Petra slid down the hill to the cave. Crouching in the darkest corner, ...

Paige sat at the bottom of the front porch poking at the grass with a stick. At fifteen years old, summer break should be a time of fun at the beach and the discovery of life with her friends. Not this time—Paige’s mom often traveled for her marketing job. This summer, her mom must travel ...

Rayna had forgotten what it was like to sit on the front porch—savoring a cup of roasted coffee while a cool, gentle breeze caressed her face.

I wasn’t quite sure which was creepier: the dead guy standing on my right whose face was falling off or the shifter in the corner whose eyes were glued to my ...

I don’t like the dark or small places. I have many valid and rational reasons for not liking either of those things; like lack of oxygen, creepy crawlies, and mice.
