Thank you!!

If no one has idea ideas for what ghost we should do off the bat we could always number them then spin a wheel as well XD.

That is a good idea!! My best guess was just "more than your average spirit" which...is broad XD

lol yeah XD. Do we just want to pull from the list of ghosts in phasmo for now? There's 18. Later on we could always make a wheel of cryptids and legendary ghosts as well.

Yeah, I think all of Phas's ghosts would be a good reference. I also thought of some others from classic lore, like Dark Fae and Doppelgängers (which I guess would just be "the mimic" in phas terms lol). There's also the Wendigo, but that one might fit better in the urban legend/legendary ghost category.

I love the idea of throwing Dark Fae in there! And yeah, I think Wendigo might fit better into the second category as well

Yay for reaching our first week's goal! Also, if putting word counts in your post helps you, go ahead, but it's actually no longer necessary thanks to this handy-dandy word counter that the lovely Spearmint made! So if you want to keep putting them in, go ahead, but just letting you know that you don't have to if you don't want to.

As for what kind of ghost, I hadn't really thought about it! Paranormal isn't my usual genre, so I'll defer to you all that have more knowledge about it. The one thing I will say though is that regarding the wendigo, I've heard that that's a pretty heavy cultural thing for Algonquin peoples, and I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable using it here!

I'll try to hang out as much as I can in the pad this weekend, so by all means pop in when you're available so we can do some plotting!

Oh, that's good to know! I was doing it for convenience's sake but it was really annoying so that's much better XD And no problem on the Wendigo either. I'll try to pop into the pad more often too, so it's easier to collab as our characters interact more ^^

I also left some notes about ghost type around line 82 of the pad. @RangerofIthilien, since it sounds like you're in charge of the wheel, maybe you can post the results there and we can spitball ideas from there!

Sounds good! I have a word counter on a different site that I’ve been using but copy pasting the writing leads to errors since it doesn’t like the paragraph spaces and counts two words as one so that’s super helpful!

No problem at all! There are plenty of other things we can use!

@RavenAkuma Alright! I’ll head over there and look at what we have then post results! Once I get them numbered and make a wheel! Maybe I can make a cool gif wheel and post it here as well with the ghost types so everyone gets a notification when one is chosen as well.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how AMAZING the graphic is :0 And I love your title so much! XDD

It's time to find out what's really lurking in the dark...

!!!

"And they also looked tacky," Julie muttered.

They laughed, faking a gasp. "You said you liked it!"

Ah the banter is so sweet :3

However, instead of fear, V looked annoyed. “Cut it out, Liz. We’re in a hotel.”

LOL. No inhuman screeching here, it's a hotel.
The setting descriptions are amazing :0

He imagines the ground shaking in fear and the counter cowering away from him. His mere existence calls for attention, for nobody will treat him like he's worthless ever again.

"Fernando. He just got the order wrong. Relax," Liliana says, then says to the cashier, "You scanned the Doritos twice, sir."

*SOBS* Fernando XD <3

"So you want to investigate this haunted house because you think it's going to be an old burning Spanish nobleman . . . in Ohio."

...This would be a great out of context quote >.>

Why do American's love their corn so much?

Because corn on the cob, corndogs, corn tortillas, corn soup, and cornbread, and corny jokes ;D

Your posts so far read like the start of a supernatural novel! Great job setting the scene and building up anticipation =P You got this!!

Good morning everyone (or evening, or afternoon, wherever you happen to be)! It's Monday, the start of a brilliant new week full of writing so therefor I dare say it's time for me to stop procrastinating trying to find a better wheel gif and just spin it lol.
here we go!

*Drumroll*


And the result is:

MYLING


If you want to look up stuff about each ghost, i'll be putting information in the pad regarding evidence and specific attributes later!
