Dark Journeys in the Hocking Hills Author Jannette Quackenbush

Where the Natural World and the Supernatural World Collide

I write about those peculiar little beings like ghosts and cryptids and things that go bump in the night.

Believe

Don’t be Afraid to Explore the Dark

I write about ghosts and cryptids because I’m drawn to the people who chase them. The curious ones. The ones with open minds and restless hearts—who aren’t afraid to explore the dark, the wild, the strange, abandoned, and the forgotten. It’s not just the stories that keep me going.

It’s the community of night hikers, lore seekers, and fearless wanderers who walk into the unknown looking for truth, mystery, and maybe… something more.
