Everyone has a ghost story, something unexplained that happened to them. Maybe you saw something, heard something, or, even, dare I say it, felt something unexplained.
It could have happened when you were a small child, perhaps when you slept over with a friend when you were in your teens, or maybe in your first apartment when you finally went out into the world on your own? Maybe you had a haunted forest you explored behind your house? Or maybe you saw someone after they passed?
I don’t know what your story is… but I want to know and I am sure others do too. If you’d like to share YOUR ghost story, I’ve set up this spooky writing contest where you can share it and enter it for prizes! Keep reading to find out how to enter.
The Contest:
This contest is very easy to enter, simply write your ghost story in a blog post on your personal blog and link it back to this contest, if you do not have a personal blog it’s easy to write a blog post on WordPress, Blogger, or Medium instead. (This may prove to be your prompt to get your blog started.)
It is your ghost story. Tell it as you see fit, but do keep in mind that it will be judged on how realistic and well your feelings about it are conveyed. Did the experience terrify you, make you curious, or give you nightmares ever since? Convey this to your readers. Make us worry about turning out the lights at night and what could be lurking under the bed…
With that said both non-fiction and fictional stories are allowed. Add, “based on a true story,” if it is.
The prizes are:
1st Prize:
->) $125.00 Amazon gift card, a Fire 7 tablet, 7″ display, 16 GB, latest model & a signed copy of Paranormal Evidence from Inside the Haunted Forest.
2nd Prize:
->) $75.00 Amazon gift card
3rd Prize:
->) $50.00 Amazon gift card

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, this contest has been canceled.
By the way, that shadow figure in the photo above is exactly what a shadow figure Wee-Jee looks like. I saw it as clear as day when I was a child and I’ll never forget it!
