Not because I believed in ghosts—but because I needed one good night’s sleep to clear my head.  \nBecause I needed to give my older brother, Wilson, some tangible proof I took our inability to keep our ranch hands safe while staffed seriously. Because he’d sunk so much money into (what now seemed) a pipe dream. My pipe dream.  \nI was over five hundred miles away from home because my brother had burned his hand on the eye of an unlit stove. And I had no clue on how to debunk his current conclusion: we were being haunted.  \nWilson paid two hundred eighty-five dollars for an “extended access”ticket to Oh, So Paranormal Con. His return on investment was a signed hardback copy of Your Ghost, Your Story and a maybe, sort of, if you cross your heart and hope to die, chance for me to speak with the author, Rae Jones.  \n“Could you clarify what you mean by ‘maybe’?” I asked the twitchy teen manning the check-in table.  \nThe teen picked at the side of their phone case, silicon indented with the grooves of past attacks.“She’s a busy person.”  \nRae Jones was a woman who claimed we all had the power to fight our own monsters (most of the time—all the other times she told you to book her for a hefty fee) .  \n“Oh, I’m sure.” I swallowed a laugh that’d been building up since I pulled on my I Believe lanyard.“But I don’t think it’s difficult to offer a  \ndefinitive answer, considering her entire job’s signing copies of books today, no?”  \nRae Jones was the featured guest among the sea of “paranormal investigators” turned internet celebs. They plastered her face all over their official website and the merch being hawked at nearly every table.  \nThey even had themed drinks inspired by her team: Ruby Rae Float, Naughty Nico Berry, Dirty December Shake, and Jonah’s First Sip.  \nThe more I drowned in the commercialization of their likeness, the more my teeth ground. I got gimmicks and understood hustle, but our need for help was dire. Wasting money was unacceptable.  \nThe teen gave in for a second, checking their phone before saying,“Sorry, it just…depends.”  \nThe air went dead as he unlocked the phone and opened a social media app. I watched in silence and utter awe as he slipped into instant distraction. I resisted the urge to click my tongue to regain his attention. Strangers typically weren’t fond of noise cues. Horses were more forgiving…and apparently present","cbCaip4xyLLq42AF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip4xyLLq42AF","pdf",2044994,328,"English","en",105,"# Content Warnings\n# Chapter 1\n# Chapter 2\n# Chapter 3\n# Chapter 4\n# Chapter 5\n# Chapter 6\n# Chapter 7\n# Chapter 8\n# Chapter 9\n# Chapter 10\n# Chapter 11\n# Chapter 12\n# Chapter 13\n# Chapter 14\n# Chapter 15\n# Chapter 16\n# Chapter 17\n# Chapter 18\n# Chapter 19\n# Chapter 20\n# Chapter 21\n# Chapter 22\n# Chapter 23\n# Chapter 24\n# Chapter 25\n# Chapter 26\n# Chapter 27\n# Chapter 28\n# Chapter 29\n# Chapter 30\n# Chapter 31\n# Chapter 32\n# Chapter 33\n# Chapter 34\n# Epilogue\n# Afterword\n# Also by Deanna Grey","[{\"question\":\"How does the convention’s structure affect her attempt to get answers?\",\"answer\":\"Celebrity guests sign in a controlled way with no photos and limited questions, and extended access functions mostly as a bragging-rights package rather than guaranteed conversation.\"}]",1785401204,505,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":77,"head_meta":79,"extra_data":81,"updated_unix":26},"the-case-of-elmwood-ranch-a-sapphic-paranormal-romance","",{"@graph":34,"@context":76},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-case-of-elmwood-ranch-a-sapphic-paranormal-romance/114562/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-01","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"How does the convention’s structure affect her attempt to get answers?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Celebrity guests sign in a controlled way with no photos and limited questions, and extended access functions mostly as a bragging-rights package rather than guaranteed conversation.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":78,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":80,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":83},[84,87,91,95,100,105,110,115,120,123,127],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":122},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":126},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":128,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":130},19,"General","general"]
