Louisa Bacio’s Haunting New Year & BlogHop

Take one mistress of young adult paranormal fiction, Marley Gibson; her fiancé (now husband) Patrick Burns of TruTV’s Haunting Evidence and a recurring judge on Travel Channel’s Paranormal Challenge; a few psychics, mediums, believers and a sprinkling of skeptics, and toss them into a documented haunted lodge on New Year’s Eve. What do you get?

One kick-ass, memorable night!

End of the year, 2010, saw my family and I trekking from Southern California to Sierra Sky Ranch, located near the southern entrance of Yosemite. While growing up, my husband, his parents and his grandparents used to frequent the lodge. My mother-in-law first visited more than 60 years prior. When we saw the information on an overnight paranormal adventure, we quickly signed up.

While I write primarily erotic fiction, I’ve been told on more than one occasion that my writing can be quite dark. It’s that paranormal side, and fascination with the unknown. That evening, spirits spoke from the darkness, and an unseen entity squeezed between me and another woman sitting on the couch. You know the feeling when someone sits next to you and brushes your thigh with theirs? We both got it, as it “pushed” its way between us.

At the end of the night, we returned to our rooms and I stopped at the door. I thanked the spirits for their welcome, but let them know that they were not invited into my room. Since my mother-in-law was watching our sleeping children inside, I didn’t want any darkness coming with us. As I shut and locked the door, no one was outside in the hallway. The moment the door closed, a loud, resounding BANG hit the outside of the wood.

Someone or something was unhappy about being excluded.

How’s that for a haunting New Year’s memory?
