"The Inn by the Sea: A Ghost Story"

For my project, I'm going to write a fictional ghost story based on my personal experiences staying at a "haunted" bed & breakfast. I stayed at an inn called Peter Shields, a Georgian mansion by the ocean in Cape May, NJ. I first heard of it on a TV show that features haunted places so I knew I had to go there.  I plan to do the following:

  • Visit the inn twice this year
  • Research ghosts
  • Read as many ghost stories & watch as many shows for inspiration
  • Read a story based on the inn from Cape May Ghost Stories
  • Plan an outline/ plot graph
  • Draft the story
  • Share my personal experiences
  • Embellish my experiences so the story is more terrifying
  • Hope to work on it in March when I stay there for inspiration
  • Post pictures of the inn
  • Post a brief description of the story
Any other ideas/suggestions? What do you think will make my story more spooky?
