Excellent game
This game is incredibly fun. The basic concept is something like a cross between the movie Frequency and Stranger Things with a fun synth score. A group of teens end up on a haunted island in a series of time loops and have to use radios to communicate with the ghosts and break free. It's an easy way to lose a few hours, and then play all over again with a few surprises. This is among my top IOS games for sure.

I love Susanna Kearsley's novels, they are, in fact, my favorite sort of novels. Partially historical fiction, modern fiction, with a hint of supernatural in the form of ghosts, typically.
I was excited when I read the synopsis of this novel, and couldn't wait to read it. I was slightly disappointed by it, because it wasn't as good as her other novels. The historical portion was a little slow, and the modern novel portion was fairly predictable. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I would have liked to enjoy it.

Old fashioned creepy
A good old fashioned ghost story. A creepy old house, odd servants, a pregnant widow left to her own thoughts in a big empty house.


And wooden people! Wooden people who multiply! And move on their own!

The story is set over 3 time periods. In the 1600s and in the 1800s. What happens in the earlier time is revealed through a diary found by one of the later characters.

Is it witchcraft? Is it insanity? Or ghosts? Read this book to find out. I really enjoyed it.

Mitch Malone has returned to his hometown to teach a seminar on investigative reporting. But that also means facing the ghosts of his past, including several tragic deaths. The murder of his high school crush forces him into facing things he's been running from for a long time. I enjoyed the mystery, which was very fast moving. I felt like the characters outside of Mitch could have used more development.

I saw this one on Amazon. It was pretty creepy once it got past the slow start. The storyline itself was pretty interesting. It was ultimately about secret governmental testing on people in the past. The characters were ok. Not a lot of depth to them but the acting is mediocre. The effects and camera tricks could've been a little better but they conveyed everything well enough. Overall I'd recommend it if you're into creepy ghost stories. Worth a watch.
