Comments
It seems like this was a snapshot of a larger story. Many questions with the information given. As Bev states above, this was his brother/sister duo who he has written about before. "Centralia is Still Burning" sounds very familiar. I'm wondering if I've read that.
I'm on the hunt through my books to find out.
They returned in "Blue Plume," which appeared in the anthology The Mothman Files. It's their second visit to an abandoned location.
I watched a number of urban spelunking videos when writing "The Shrieking Woman." The idea of investigating an abandoned building appealed to me. David Morrell has an entire novel set in real-time in a setting like that.
I have a couple of other as-yet-unpublished stories about them. I envision someday bundling them all up into either a collection or a "fix-up" novel.
Wait. Maybe the book reading group at SKMB read it and that's why it sounds so familiar. I didn't have it at the time to participate, as I don't do ebooks or downloads. I've never done one so not sure how that works. Maybe I need to leap into that with both feet and just try it.
One of the synopses of the show:
"Blair Witch Project meets Survivor... Six contestants, armed only with cameras and ghost hunting equipment explore purportedly haunted places in order to determine if supernatural activity is present. They must complete dares in order to win cash prizes. If they fail, they are eliminated. Sound easy? "Fear" is never that simple, especially when you factor in those disembodied footfalls, and shadows that only appear on infrared. Reality TV at its most frightening."
I didn't realize it had been that long ago. I really enjoyed it.
