Summary
Some people grow into the paranormal slowly. Tory Smith Westhoff never had that luxury. Her first brush with the unexplained struck when she was barely old enough to tie her shoes—an age when most children fear the dark, but Tory learned the dark could fear her back. In a house where everyone else slept soundly, she saw the things that moved when the lights went out. She felt the cold brushes of unseen hands. She heard what no one else could hear.
And because no one believed her… she faced it alone.
Those quiet, terrifying nights didn’t fade as she grew older—they followed, shaped, and ultimately forged her into someone the haunted could turn to. Decades later, Tory founded The Paranormal Help Desk, a lifeline for people living the same nightmare she once faced without support.
This isn’t just a haunting. It’s the origin story of a woman the spirits never left alone. This is Part Two of our conversation.
