From the Case Files of Steven LaChance I sat back in the comfortable leather seat of the black sedan, taking in the sights outside the window and feeling the cool air from the AC on my torso. “It is going to be a very hot day here. They say it could be as much as…

From the Case Files of Steven LaChance I remember one of my first encounters with a child ghost. The memory comes back to me in fragments, but the feeling it left me with has never faded. I stepped into this old house for the first time during an investigation, and even before I crossed the…

HAUNTING STORIES: FROM THE CASE FILES OF STEVEN LACHANCE Sunday, October 25, 2026 By Steven LaChance I woke in the night, adjusting my eyes to the darkness of the room.

Crazy will always be one of my favorite books I’ve written. First of all, how it was written is different than anything else I have ever done. In 2006, I was personally asked to come to an old truck stop restaurant on Old Route 66. The Tri County Truck Stop in Villa Ridge, Missouri. They…

“He turns; I can see his frontal torso in the light. It’s covered in blood. Is he looking at me? The room begins to spin. The sound of his desperation matches the tempo of his hands scrubbing his body. The room keeps spinning and spinning. I still feel his eyes on me. I can’t breathe.…

I heard a quote once that described a haunted house as one that had gone insane. That made a strange kind of sense to me. The idea that a house could harbor something hidden inside it, a kind of internal system that carries something through its walls and floors like a disease. That is what…
