I'm doing NaNo this year even though my idea is super lame.
I don't know why but I really, really wanted to write something that revolves around paranormal creatures & creepy places. ( more specifically I think I must have been thinking about the Aokigahara Suicide Forest in Japan & the theme park near Chernobyl when I had the idea )
Point being, if you want to do any write-ins, I'd be game.
That doesn't sound lame at all! Those places are incredibly eerie, I love novels about haunted places. Would it be a haunted place you came up with or based on on of the ones you mentioned?
I'm glad you don't think it's lame, at least that's one person, heh. I love to research haunted, eerie & downright satanic places. I may not believe in ghosts or demons but that doesn't mean that the aura some of these places have isn't straight-up scary as all hell.
I'm basing it around the ones I mentioned but it's of my own creation, kind of a mesh between the two & I have it located in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.
I buy into some aspects of spirituality. I mean, I did wear my evil-eye bracelet & carry a can of salt with me yesterday.
An abandoned theme park where a cult famously committed suicide and legend says if you are within its grounds during the anniversary of their deaths you'll die as well. ( I'm half-way basing that off of something that really happened at this theme-park I frequent. In fact - here's the text from the article,
'On July 9, 1980, a 23-year-old man was killed and a 27-year-old woman was injured on the Fire in the Hole indoor roller coaster. A train on the roller coaster was accidentally switched to a maintenance track and storage area, which had low-hanging structures across the track. The male passenger's head struck one of these structures, killing him. The accident was ruled a case of human error, and after an investigation the attraction re-opened two days later. The overhanging structures were later removed from the maintenance area.' - what the article doesn't tell you is that his head striking the structure
( ... )
// Some say it's haunted, I say it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Although, they do have a cave on site within the park that you can take tours in & people have heard strange sounds down there. The cave is called 'Marvel Cave' & a well-known group of vigilantes used to throw people into the cave ( which at the time was only known as a sinkhole ) when they wanted to exact justice upon an individual.
So if ghosts do exist - it's probably the ghost of someone murdered way back in the 1800s, not the guy who was decapitated, but who knows.
