I had one for comic relief in my haunted hotel story, Dead Roots. It was a lot of fun. In a romance, I prefer real live characters for the hero and heroine.Nancy J.

One of my favorite ghost stories with a thread of romance is Oliver Onions's "The Beckoning Fair One." Rereading it recently, I found that it's as much about a writer's career midlife crisis as it is about his becoming infatuated with a demanding ghost mistress. I usually like more romance in my ghost stories, so I'm intrigued by the excerpt of Dark Hero!Amanda DeWeeshttp://www.amandadewees.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-77435476300268860392012-08-09T19:06:56.767+07:002012-08-09T19:06:56.767+07:00I like ghost stories too.

As I was reading your blog, I was thinking about that old movie from the 40s or 50s (black and white) - but I can't remember the name of it. 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir', I think. That was a great ghost story with all the elements you mention.

We have two farms and ...Interesting question, Lily. We have two farms and this house is on the second one. My young adult son and his fiance were remodeling before their upcoming marriage. My (now) daughter in law didn't believe in ghosts until the footsteps sounded at random times on the stairs and an upstairs bedroom door refused to remain closed and the doorknob turned and opened on its own while she was in the bathroom--freaked her and the cat out. No one told me any of this, but I dreamed about a troubled soul associated with that house and a small old graveyard up in the field behind the house--turns out there is one. My sense is that the spirit was associated with that plot and the remodeling disturbed him. But after the Anglican exorcism prayer--sent to us by a friend in England after they prayed a violent poltergeist out of the manse--whatever was in my son's house left.Beth Trisselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742049964476824594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-79302295212158826912012-08-08T21:39:50.578+07:002012-08-08T21:39:50.578+07:00Ann T.S., most of my stories to date are in the 18...Ann T.S., most of my stories to date are in the 18th or early 19th century, however, I want to write one that takes place in the middle ages one day.

We have a lot of ghosts and ghost stories here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and the surrounding mountains. A paranormal hot spot for some reason. Like you, I prefer not to have personal contact. But have come close. Had a poltergeist in the old farm house, prayed him out. At least, I think it was a him.<br />Anyway, Dark Hero sounds great.Beth Trisselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742049964476824594noreply@blogger.com
