"Ghost Stories: The Stories Of Those Who Have Moved On"

My name is Jessica, I can see the dead, earthbound spirits whom I have to help cross over to the other side. I know your thinking I am mentally ill but think about it, have you felt a presence? These are their stories. "Murdered"

My story begins when I find my friends ghost is attached to her parents, & at first I think nothing of it, that she will cross over on her own, she just needs to say goodbye to her parents & then she comes to me knowing I can see her. She has dark circles under her eyes and blood is flowing from her cuts, the ones she must have created the day she died. I feel like a terrible friend at the memory & begin to weep telling her that I was sorry but she doesn't blame me she is attacking her parents I ask her why & the only thing she says is that "they murdered me." I have to to think about her words, how could her parents have killed her? why is she blaming them when it was her who ended her own life but I was her friend & she is confused about what happened or is she? I visit her parents & ask them personal questions about their relationship with their daughter they ask me why I want to know all of this & so I tell them that I have a gift, that I can see ghosts & that I've seen their daughter, they dont believe me & freak out. I see Eve looking at me with anger in her eyes, she keeps yelling at them saying that they murdered her & I tell them that she is with us now. Their eyes grow wide & they look scared I tell them that Eve isn't happy that she is saying they murdered her I look at them both carefully & I know that they have something to do with her suicide I tell them that the only way she can be at peace is if they talk to her & tell her what happened, if they know what happened. They refuse to talk to me another second & slam the door in my face, I hear something break & someone screams, then Eve is beside me looking really mad. I look at her intently & ask her if that was her who broke the glass, she said yes but they deserved it, I told her that they won't talk to me which means they won't talk to her she says she knows. I puzzle over how I will get her parents to talk to me, & then ultimately her. I send them a letter telling them about what Eve said she remembered, & put it in their mailbox. The next day I go to Eve's house to talk to her parents but only her mother is home, she lets me in. I talk to her about Eve, she tells me that Eve was a troubled girl who would wake up screaming at night because of a bad dream where she is being murdered by them, & I automatically look at Eve who is standing by her mom, watching her. Eve's mom tells me that Eve cut herself because she wanted to get away from the pain that Eve's father was causing her Eve suddenly remembers what happened & I see that her scars are fading. Eve tells me to tell her mom that she is sorry for causing her so much pain & sorrow, her mother begins to tear up and starts to cry saying that she doesnt blame her for anything, she blames her father but she can't leave him because he might end up hurting her. Eve tells me that her dad is responsible for her suicidal thoughts, which ultimately means that he killed her, so that's what Eve was talking about when she said "they murdered me." I tell Eve's mom that she Eve is crossing over. Eve leaves telling me to tell her mom that she loves her, & I do.

"Bride"

After my encounter with my best friend's ghost I feel at peace when she crosses over, but my job is never done. The next day, I go to the flower shop & see a ghost bride, more like bridezilla, I look closely at her & notice the scar on her forehead. Something has happened to her. I ask her what happened & she says that she didn't know how she died, that she wants to know how she got here, she doesn't remember anything about her past, my first thought is great I have a confused ghost whom doesnt know what happened to her or doesn't know how she got into a wedding dress in the first place. I tell her I can't help her unless she tries to remember what happened, she of course disappears, as many of them do after I tell them to think about their death. I go on through my day trying to figure out what could have happned to her, did her fiancee kill her, did someone kill her or was this an accidental death? This goes through my head when she appears again. I ask her if she remembered what happened, she said no, but she did remember someone who could help, her fiancee, Phillip. I look up the name she gives me & try to locate where he lives. I find the address & drive to his apartment. I knock on the door but there is no answer I try calling for him, then I see the bride, Elena beside me she tells me that he isnt home, so I leave my card & tell him to call me, that I need to talk to him. The next day I come back & he is there, just about to leave when I suddenly stop him he looks at me & asks who I am, I tell him my name is Jessica Packwood & that I was wondering if I could talk to him for a minute, he says sure & so I ask him about his fiancee, he tells me that on their wedding she died, what he thinks was an accidental death, that she tripped & hit her head, then I tell him that about my gift, he looks at me as though I were mentally insane, as everyone does & I tell him that she is here with me now, he looks at me then laughs saying "Elena, is here? why would she be here?" I tell him that I was going to try & find out why, he just laughs. Elena glares at him, because he is laughing as though he doesn't believe me & I don't blame him, most people don't. Elena breaks a vase & Phillip jumps & his eyes are filled with fear. I look at Elena & ask her what that was for, she says that he didn't believe me, that she was still here, I look back at Phillip & tell him that Elena is angry at him because he won't listen to what I have to say, he looks at me then asks if she really is here, I tell him that yes she is, he tells her he loves her, she tells me to tell him that she loves him to, but that she has a secret she needs to tell him, I listen to what she has to say, then tell Phillip that she said that she cheated on him before their wedding day & that she was going to tell him before the wedding but, instead she ended up dying. Phillip looks angry for a while & I give him time to digest this, then I tell him that Elena is sorry for what she did, that she didn't mean to hurt him like this, that it just happened, he asks me to tell her that he knew something was up that Elena wasn't acting the same, I tell him that she can hear him perfectly & he tells her that he loved her from the first moment he saw her, that he didn't blame her for what she did, Elena looked at me & said thank you, & she crossed over, I told Phillip that she left & he begins to sob like I have never seen a man sob before.

“Burned” My best friend Melinda & I meet up for lunch at the little resturaunt across the street from the flower shop, at first I think this might be a ghost free day, then the smell of smoke from a fire hits me & I look up & see my victim. I tell Melinda that I have to go & take care of something, she says okay that’s fine she needs to go anyway, I say bye & head straight for the man I saw, I talk to him, ask him what happened & he says that he died in a fire a few years back. His news doesn’t make sense to me because he would have come to me for help the day he died like so many of them do, but I don’t argue his point, maybe he just lost track of time when he died or something. As I’m driving by a hotel building, I smell smoke & I hear firetrucks coming towards it, & I notice that the man I saw earlier is on the scene, & I know that he caused the fire. I go over to him & ask why, he says because he needs justice, what that means I don’t know but I have to figure it out before he burns someones house down while they’re in it or worse burn the whole town. I do some reasearch as soon as I get back to the shop my ghost comes to me in the middle of my reasearch he points to a link & then a name I’m assuming its his name and so I click on the link & the name is Jacob Mins I look at him & he stares back I ask if this is him he says yes I ask who he thinks killed him & he points to another name the witness,  Seth Dunken. I look further into the story & see that the police didn’t suspect foul pla but apparently, Jacob did. I dig deeper & find information on the hotel owner & the witness. The witness, Seth, lives about 15 minutes away from the shop so I drive to the location. I see Seth working on the lawn, I don’t think that he could have caused the fire but I know that looks can be decieving I walk up to him & introduce myself, he introduces himself, & I ask him about the fire, he says that he was walking by the hotel when he smelled smoke & called the fire department to tell them there was a fire, they came about 30 minutes later & by that time the building was on fire & only a few people got out before the flames blocked their path one guy they found asleep in his bed totally unaware of what had happened to him. I look at Jacob he nods, it was him who was asleep unaware. I talk to the owner next, who says the fire started in the kitchens, and spread quickly they were only able to get a few people out but that Jacob was totally unaware of what had happened because he was asleep, intoxicated is what the police said. They said that they didn’t suspect anything but the pipe broke. Jacob says that it was Seth Dunken who started & now that I think about it I know that Jacob is right, although why did he want the hotel to burn? Jacob tells me that he knew Seth, that they got into a fight, the night before about something stupid & Jacob walked out mad, & Seth told him he would get him one day, & he found that day. I go back to Seth & tell him about my gift, when he hears it he reacts as though I were a freak, I tell him that Jacob is with us, then he completely goes haywire. I let Seth calm down before I have him talk to Jacob to explain what happened. Seth says that they had a fight but he didn’t kill Jacob, he wouldn’t have put all of those others in danger, just to get back at Jacob, I look at Jacob & then back at Seth I tell him that Jacob is listening. Seth explains to Jacob that he was only walking by the hotel when he smelled the smoke “I swear Jake, I wouldn’t have put all of those people in danger, just to get back at you & I wouldn’t have killed you either” I look at Jacob who tells me to tell Seth that he was sorry for the fight he didn’t mean to get mad & storm out like that, I do & I see Seth’s eyes prick with fear & tears, & then relief. Jacob tells me that he believes Seth, which means that the hotel owner had to be the one who created the fire, or maybe one of the kitchen crew did since the owner said that the fire started in the kitchens. I talk to the owner who tells me the same story as before,
