Just a reminder: I'll be at the Ohio Viking Festival/CryptidCon in Chardon, OH on Saturday, October 11, 2025. If you're around the Chardon Square, stop by between 12 PM - 6 PM. There will be vikings, Mothman, and more! I'll be selling books and doing Tarot readings, so I hope I'll see you there.

I don't want to promote myself.
The founder of this chat and my co-host is in hospital, so he can't be here tonight, and huge thanks to Gree for stepping in at short notice.
But he writes such lovely ghost stories. Some of them are short, and cheap. If you could snag his books, it would help no end.

Concluding? Oh please! The Phantasmal Symposium’s work is eternal, as is the thirst for alive souls! We are simply twirling away elsewhere…

Now is your time to join us! What do you write? In what crypts can we peruse it? What more do you have to share?

#HorrorWritersChat

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

The Orchestra Has Performed Their Final Piece!
The Symposium hopes you enjoyed our ghastly arrangement in this music hall! There is no algorithm here – visibility is reliant on your engagement.

Have you answered the questions? Do you have something to share? Promote below, and share each others’ posts!

The orchestra shall resume its operations… next week.

"Edmund, find me"

That voice – real this time, and if his ears weren’t fooling him, the wind seemed to carry it from the church.

And, maybe someday, our collective hard work will make a noticeable, positive difference. And we'll have fewer reasons to be scared.

I won't lie: sometimes thinking about the future scares me more than any movie or book. Still, when walking through hell, keep walking. I'll keep pushing forward, taking what opportunities I can to improve my life and improve the world. I'll encourage others to do the same.

Come forth, Baron Crescendo! Let your guitar split the sky open, for more wraiths to dazzle us!

Behold, a note from him, for you!

“The moment you entered the graveyard, the scrape of ancient stone shadowed your ears.”

Finish it! With word of rhyme, before we dance to the end!

Assuming that ANYTHING can be haunted, I have a soft spot for cemeteries. Continuing with the gothic theme, today I'm going to pick the cemeteries of New Orleans. #HorrorWritersChat

Now, let us begin! Let the flutes bleat and the trumps blare, snatching all the souls of the living away! What are your favourite haunts? Mausoleums? Lavish estates? What secrets do their wraiths protect within?

Listen to the Symposium’s finest vocalist, as their tenor bends the living into unnatural angles and swivels them into the air! Tell us, what ghosts do you prefer? Of the folkloric tradition, or those invented by authors? And why?

Question Three

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

It is always a delight to see our violinists perform! How the living bend their splintering bones as they float above us all! Tell us, our ghostly compatriots – which of us are better? Of the folkloric kind? Or invented by our shadowy creators?

Both can be great, depending on how they are written. I'll go for whatever kind of ghost the author needs to tell the story. Although the majority of my favorite ghost novels involved ghosts dreamed up by the author.

Well keeping with Ghostbusters, the one who visited Ray in his dream was . . .

Your description of the Symposium sounds like a ghostly jazz dance club. 🕺

While I love ghostly folklore alone, I like a combination of folklore and the writer's imagination. Things won't be predictable. I also like non-European ghosts. They're fascinating.
