Summary
Some people stumble into the paranormal. Ernie Pack was born into it.
In a family where ghost stories weren’t whispered but welcomed, Ernie’s introduction to the supernatural wasn’t a shadow in the corner or a creak in the night — it was his great-grandfather, standing before him long after the man had passed. That single moment didn’t frighten him… it awakened him.
From that day forward, Ernie’s life unfolded in two worlds: the one everyone sees, and the one only a few acknowledge. His early encounters sparked a fascination that grew into a calling — one that eventually led him to the infamous Waverly Hills Sanatorium, where the veil between the living and the dead feels thinner than anywhere else on earth.
Ernie opens the door to his beginnings: the family that embraced ghosts instead of denying them, the encounters that shaped his beliefs, and the moments that nudged him toward the haunted hallways of Waverly Hills.
This is where his story starts — with a ghost who shared his blood… and a path that’s still pulling him deeper into the shadows.
