Teens Hunting Ghosts

Ever wondered what it felt like investigating a haunted house? Ever wanted to know if ghosts were real? A.S. Santos, author of the SPRG Series, a paranormal romance trilogy, introduces her first book; Voices in The Theater, with bizarre and dangerous supernatural occurrences. Her book is about one teenage girl's psychic abilities, and the unseen world that exposes her to danger & love.

About the Author

A.S. Santos has been writing for magazines since the age of 14, and has worked professionally as a scriptwriter for TV, a magazine editor, a creative writing teacher, and a creativity workshop facilitator.

The author’s own experiences with the paranormal began in high school, during encounters with the Ouija board. At first it had seemed like a game, until those experiences turned disturbing... then frightening.

Since then, Santos became interested in the paranormal, but mostly in the scientific theories about what makes paranormal phenomena possible.

In 2009, Santos was working on a personal project, a little booklet called “The Top 12 Things Teens Need to Know About the Paranormal.” It was to have been the booklet that the author would’ve wanted to have back then during those teen years, the booklet that would help teens today better understand the paranormal experiences they may have.

However, that booklet project was abandoned, because in the middle of researching it the author suddenly had the idea for a three-book series about a teenage girl who gradually develops her psychic abilities upon joining her school’s paranormal research group.

And that was the beginning of the SPRG series.

Santos is currently working on Book 2 of the SPRG series, titled Corpse in the Mirror.

Voices in the Theater 

Samantha Davidson never expected more from her ability. 

Sam is a girl from New Jersey who never actually lived a normal life. She can hear sounds and voices not most people do. 

It was since her grandmother’s tragic death that Sam realized she can hear the most unusual things. At first she began hearing her dead grandmother’s voice, but then it developed to the point where she can hear people’s thoughts. 

Seeking for answers, Samantha Davidson joined a paranormal research group in a university she was enrolled in within the new country she and her family just moved into. 

The paranormal research group’s objective is to investigate supernatural events and record them so that they may prove or look for its causes scientifically. Sam needed this in order somehow answer the questions she has about her peculiar ability. 

When the group first started investigating and visited one of the rumored haunted rooms in the university, Sam instantly heard different voices that were inhuman. She noticed a pattern the voices were following as they mentioned the names of people who died from suicide. She listened carefully, partly because she knew it was important and partly because something inside her literally told her to do so. As she listened carefully she slowly realized that one of the mentioned names belonged to her father.

At first she thought the voices were only there to scare her. She thought the voices were just one of the new things she needed to be used to since she moved into the new country. She thought that they only remained unheard sounds that only she can perceive. If she only knew what the possessors of these voices are, she wouldn’t consider them harmless.  

Since she heard the voices in the haunted room, she encountered numerous realizations. Her eyes were opened to a whole new world of insights about good and evil. She knew that her father’s life is in danger, threatened by his own actions.

The story goes as she develops her ability and discovers things she never thought existed.  She began to learn more about the ongoing war that lies beneath the voices. 

Sam confronts the voices and strives to save her father’s life even if her downfall was possible. Unfortunately, the owners of the voices aimed for a gruesome response to her opposing gesture. They started digging her hidden memories as they revealed and aimed for her weaknesses. They tormented Sam with colossal blows of heart crushing anguish. They began to gain power, trying to take more lives and claim them as their own.

How could Sam survive?
