Past Midnight - Mara Purnhagen

    “I see her,” a man’s voice whispered.     A chill spread through me. Shane played it again. Never had three little words terrified me so much.     I see her.     I felt numb. “When was this recorded?”     “Just a few minutes ago, when you were standing in the doorway,” Shane said.

Charlotte is a teenager trying to get on with a normal life, she has managed to convince her parents to let her attend the same high school for one year consistently. Her parents have even gone so far as to buy a house in a suburb so she can make friends and do normal teenage things. Unfortunately things aren't as normal as they look from the outside. Her parents are ghost hunters/paranormal researchers who have their own reality TV show and they are always keen to involve Charlotte and her college attending sister Avery.
The summer before school starts they are in the town where Avery is attending college, her parents take the opportunity to film at several locations. One of them makes Avery chilled to her bones so they have to abandon filming after the second take. Without another thought to what went on they all go about their lives as usual. Avery goes to college, Charlotte and her parents move into their new home in their new town, and Charlotte starts at her new school. Everything is fine until Charlotte starts having strange dreams and she starts to realise everything is not as okay as it seems.
