So I am new to writing in the horror genre. I am planning to work on a ghost story first. How would I research for it? [emoji28] I have no idea. Could you give me some online resources like websites and articles to read?

I don't have a specific site to check out, but the youtube series Buzzfeed Unsolved might give you some inspiration!

You'll want to watch their Supernatural episodes. They go to supposedly haunted locations and look for ghosts, but they also give the history and lore behind the location. It's been a great inspiration for me in the past. <3

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
