Regan Morbid
Teacher, Writer, and Student in Jacksonville, Florida
Some were space kids or dino kids--Regan was a monster kid. Growing up surrounded by the paranormal, she often felt like no one outside of her home could ever believe what she’d seen. Even as an adult, she doesn't like to talk about her personal experiences. As a child, she spent days reading books on ghosts and UFOs from the library, and her nights watching “Mystery Hunters” and “Most Haunted”.
When she wasn’t doing that, she was writing anything and everything. While reading one such book of supposed ‘true’ stories, she found out that the book (though claiming to be non-fiction) was almost completely made up just to sell more copies. Angry, she looked at stories people published and told the paranormal with a skeptical eye after that.
She eventually found friends who listened and not only believed her but also shared stories of their own.
In 2017, she started writing and publishing horror short stories, and was chosen in 2019 to be a ‘Strange Girl’ in the horror anthology novel Strange Girls: Women in Horror Anthology.
After graduating with her creative writing degree, she thought about what she wanted to do with her degree (besides writing more horror stories. Her mind continued going back to those experiences growing up with the paranormal.
Eventually, she decided to start a blog to share and explore other ‘true’ stories of the paranormal, whether they be ghosts, aliens, cryptids, or anything unexplainable.
She currently lives in Florida with her family, including her mother, stepfather, grandmother, and her cousin’s wife and two kids. When she isn’t writing, she works as an 8th grade English teacher, hoping she can instill a love of reading and writing into others.
