This week’s writing prompt:
As a special birthday surprise, a boyfriend decides to buy tickets for their partner to sleepover at a Ghost Hunt event. The boyfriend doesn’t believe in ghosts, but decides to come along in support.
The Ghost Hunt is at an asylum hospital and orphanage. They join the group to discover if they can detect any spirits. However as time ticks away, the boyfriend must confront his beliefs.
For if the group can detect the spirits, the spirits can detect them.
What happens next is up to you…Let your imagination run wild!

We list every Sunday in our newsletter in advance. If you’d like us to read over your work, please use the form below! We do get a LOT of e-mails at Horror Tree, so we can’t promise to respond, but we’ll absolutely try! If you’d like to give us the option to also include your story in next week’s prompt, be sure to include a bio and click the correct checkbox. (I suggest only doing so if this is something extremely short as if we do print it on the website most markets would think of this as a reprint moving forward and we’d rather see you get paid for your work)
