True Ghost Stories
A demonic ghost terrifying a young boy in his own home. The ghost of a former resident in a 24-hour residential care facility still roaming his old home, seemingly attached to his possessions still kept there. Ghosts at an historical site engaging in conversation with a paranormal investigator and the ghost of a former steward still haunting a floor of the Queen Mary. These are just some of the very true yet spine-tingling stories you will get to read in True Ghost Stories, a collection of true spooky tales. Reading these stories may make you think twice the next time you dismiss something you see out of the corner of your eye. These stories are proof that even though they may no longer be of this world, certain spirits still cling to their old stomping grounds!

About the author
Dawn Colclasure
98 books24 followersBorn in California, Dawn Colclasure is the third of seven children. Growing up in a large family and constantly moving from one home to the next sharpened her storytelling skills as she often told stories to pass the time. She is a burn survivor, having been in a vehicle accident at the age of 20 months old and suffering third degree burns on her face and left arm. For this reason, she has had to undergo several reconstructive operations at hospitals in Southern California, Northern California and New York. The amazing work of Dr. A. Richard Grossman, Harry J. Buncke and Dr. Elliott Rose have helped her regain some use of her left hand and helped her scarring to heal. Because of these gifted doctors, she will be eternally grateful to them and will never forget those who are no longer a part of this world.
She started writing as a young child when encouraged by a hospital nurse to write poems into a journal, and from there she went on to write short stories, articles, book-length fiction and songs. She later started writing plays and skits. Today she has written books, articles, essays and poems published in regional and national media, including on the World Wide Web. She has also written under the pen name Dana Mitchells.
At the age of 13, Dawn was sickened with spinal meningitis, which left her deaf. In later years, she became profoundly deaf, losing what little hearing remained.
Despite attending several schools since her family was moving from one home to another, she attended only one college, College of the Desert in Palm Desert, California. Though she enjoyed studying for a journalism degree, she was unfortunately unable to complete her studies. She hopes to return to college someday and achieve her goal of getting a college degree.
She has a variety of interests. Her experiences with ghosts and hauntings produced an interest in the paranormal, and a dream experience that she had which lasted for several years is what created an interest in dream analysis and symbolism. Because she has lived in a haunted house, she wrote a series of articles on haunted houses for the Shadowlands website, and the articles were the start of what became the nonfiction book, TOTALLY SCARED: The Complete Book on Haunted Houses which ahe co-authored with Martha Jette. Her dream experience resulted in her novel November's Child, soon to be republished as Shadow of Samhain by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. She is also interested in science, especially astronomy, as well as psychology, religion, culture, parenting, wildlife and history. She loves animals, especially dogs, wolves and horses, and enjoys going for walks in her spare time. She also likes to read books on a variety of subjects and travel whenever and wherever possible.
Dawn has worked as a freelance writer, journalist, book reviewer, editor and ghostwriter. She was the founder of the poetry club, Circle of Poets, in Palm Desert, California, and edited the club’s magazine, American Bard. She has contributed articles to The Desert Sun (Palm Springs, CA) newspaper, and was a staff writer for the newspaper SIGNews, a newspaper for the deaf/HOH.
She has authored print and electronic books. Her books include 365 TIPS FOR WRITERS: Inspiration, Writing Prompts and Beat the Block Tips to Turbo Charge Your Creativity, BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL: How We Survive as Writing Parents, Love is Like a Rainbow: Poems of Love and Devotion, Songs of the Dead and The Yellow Rose. Her ebook, On the Wings of Pink Angels: Triumph, Struggle and Courage Against Breast Cancer, is a semi-anthology and the sales of this ebook will benefit the charity, Courageous Kids.
Dawn is married and the mother of two children, Centauri and Jax. She works from home in Oregon.
