Private paranormal investigator and former host of GhostHuntUK
"It all fell apart, but I'm still fighting"
She/They
(TMA RP account) (Also cannon divergent, but thatās your fault).
Georgie suggested I use somewhere lessā¦ filled with critics (arseholes) to post about ghosts. On other platforms, it feels like the whole bloody world thinks Iām mad. Honestlyā¦ I donāt blame them anymore. I just hope this one is different.
Iāll probably will use this to talk about ghosts; maybe answer questions too (just donāt be a Bouchard). Iām considering just using this for whatever though, not like anyone can stop me :)
Right! Introductionsā¦ Introductionsā¦
My name is Melanie King, I was the Host of GhostHuntUK but that fell apart for reasons I may get into. I now āworkā privately as a paranormal investigator - which is mostly me running around unpaid to god knows where looking for them.
I likeā¦ What do I like? I hate pompous arses who canāt get off their high horses, I hate being talked down to or manipulated, I especially hate feeling, stuck or trapped. I hate a lot of things really.
I suppose I likeā¦ cats? Ghost too obviously- moreso researching them. Tea is great. Chinese food isnāt bad, but I had this terrible dumpling once- How does anyone manage to get dumplings wrong?
Sorry for the jumble. I suppose- I donāt much like going back on myself so I tend to go with the flow.
Iām making a list of the eldritch beings I know, to update and reference.
Dread Powers (Gods):
Plus their names and what theyāre generally about.
The Fourteen:
The Eye or The Beholding - Being watched, knowledge, books, libraries, tapes.
The Buried - Being buried alive, the fear of walls closing in, suffocation.
The Corruption or The Crawling Rot - Bugs, decay, infection, rot.
The Dark - Darkness, blindness, what lurks in the shadows, that which you cannot see but means you harm.
The Flesh or The Epulo - Cannibalism, meat, blood, feasting, corpses, butchers.
The Spiral or Es Mentiras - Chaos, madness, distrust, mazes, patterns, lies.
The Lonely or The Forsaken - Being alone, isolated, abandoned, rejected, fog, cold.
The Hunt - Stalking, Hunting, animalistic.
The Slaughter - Weapons, buchery, music, violence, war.
The Stranger or The Faceless - Strangers, masks, clowns, circus, mannequins, dolls, theatre, wax, taxidermy.
The Torturing Flame - Fire, burns, heat.
The Unyielding - Death, bones, endings.
The Web or The Weaver - Webs, weaving, spiders, manipulation, puppets(?).
The Newbloods:
"Boss" - I don't think he's actually in this dimension. I have no really clue what it is, but itās caused a lot of strife for my friends. Itās something to do with the FNAF games, and perhaps a loss of control.
The Frozen - - Cold, stagnation, monotony of life, frost, feeling stuck(?).
Aberrations:
Or entities/monsters/servants/whatever the fuck you want to call these things. Iām trying to use the terms anons havenāt told me, for a better picture of my world.
Avatars:
Elias Bouchard (Unfriendly) - The Beholding - He is the head of The Magnus Institute and his known powers include: Limited Omniscience, and Memory Insertion.
Jonathan Sims (?) - The Beholding - The Archavist, his known powers include: Compulsion and giving nightmares(?).
Cass (friendly) The Beholding - Not sure what powers she possesses but her head used to be a tape recorder.
Eryn (friendly) - The Beholding - Working in artefact storage, has a third eye.
Sophia Grace (friendly) - The Buried - A (roughly) eleven year old ātunnel monsterā. She possesses inhuman strength and feeds of the fear released by humans trapped in tight spaces (though I assume all avatars feed of fear in some way).
Samuel Fleischer (Evil) - The Epulo - I donāt have anything to say about this meat freak. Heās a butcher.
Michael (????????) - Es MentirasĀ - His powers revolve around the door that he both is and is not.
Val the Vase (friendly) - Es MentirasĀ - Eats things and used to eat people. Has a partner named Hari who works in artefact storage at The Magnus Institute.
August (friendly) - The Forsaken - Nice kid, possibly a Ramao. Heās certainly one of Davidās. He can turn into fog.
Tyristic (???) - The Forsaken - A postman, he stalked (geolocated) me to give me a package without a sender. Weird guy.
Ness Ramao (friendly) - The Hunt - Works for Freddy Fazbears (Yes like the games). She's a great person. Currently feral, whatever that means. Iām not sure what the hunt does.
Maddie (friendly) - The Hunt - A lovely person split in two. Iāve only met the American half.
Daisy Tonner (???) - The Hunt - A cop with āwolf powersā that stalks the shadows. Probably dating Basira.
Sarah Baldwin (?) - The Faceless - Not sure about her, but I did see her staple her arm back on.
Shoebox creature (too friendly) - The Faceless - much like the vase but with a stranger twist. What is hiding under the floorboards? What lurks in the dark of the closet and the shoebox. Where do ālostā items really go?
Smiles (friendly) - The Faceless - A smiling being that I think appears around or as a doll. Iāve yet to see them move, but as unsettling as Smiles seems, I donāt think they harbour malicious intent. Towards me at least.
The-Thing-That-Was-Not-Holden (friendly) - The Faceless - a Changeling that takes the form of their victim after making themā¦ Disappear.
Mr Smith (friendly) - The Faceless - A posh creature dressed like a bellboy. He is only summed by those who rung his bell to make dealsā¦ I- I donāt know what happens to the humans who do it, but the avatars seem fine.
The Mimic (?) - The Faceless(?) - "A metallic Frankenstein of wires and clicking, snapping ribs." It mimics, I think.
Jude Perry (?) - The Torturing Flame
Izzie Connors (friendly) - The Unyielding - from a timeline where the current archivist is Harlenn. Undead. āGay ghostā
Lily (The Reaper) (friendly) - The Unyielding - A grim reaperā¦ Sheās very excitable.
Annabelle Cane (friendly) - The Weaver - A spider woman.
Ana Cane (?) - The Weaver - A smaller spider woman.
Misc:
Allen Deller (friendly) - The Frozen - Organs made of snow, a perpetual chill following him and the ability to freeze people (it takes 30 seconds).
Florence Miller/Ren (Friendly)- The Crawling Rot and The Beholding - Compulsion (which was hard to stop), bugs follow him(?), bugs understand him, āharass[es] people with bugsā.
Lavender (friendly) - N/A - They are something. Inter-dimensional maybe?
Monsters:
Evil Clown (Evil) - The Faceless
Faceless Strangers (?) - Take a guess
Grey ladies (Evil) - The Slaughter
War ghosts (Evil) - The Slaughter
Dead:
Jane Prentiss (Evil) - The Crawling Rot
The-Thing-That-Was-Not-Sasha (Evil) - The Faceless
Monster pig (???) - ??? - ābig ol monster pigā
Iām just kind of guessing what they serve, I assume there are more gods than the seven I know. I have been made aware that there is roughly 14 fear gods, but that amount may be different as I am also aware that thereās multiple realities.
[Hey. It's about time I stopped by to see you. I don't think I really need to explain. I mean, I doubt people are just walking up to you and signing that.]

//Here is Cass' design. Minus the literal strands of magnetic tape in her hair from having a tape recorder for a head and the few eyes on her neck. (maybe wears a turtle neck instead of a button up for that)
Cass?
I like the hair. I- sorry. How are you? Despite the obvious, that is.
Iāve heardā Well, I feel like every day an anon is telling me someone Ramao-adjacent is about to die or dying.
[Thank you. And, things have been ok. I think Ness is slowly coming back to her senses which is good. Things are a little rough with the Ramaos right now. I mean they uhm... lost a kid unfortunately.]
Good to hear you okay, at least. Honestly, itās good to hear Ness is getting better too. I didnāt know what to think when Iād told sheād gone feral. Still donāt really. I assume thatās what you mean anyway. Itā¦ It is what you mean, right?
They lost a kid? Iā Mustāve been hard for all of you. Be hard. I know what itās like toā¦ Yeah. Anyway, my condolences. To all of you.

Oh! Wait a moment. I just actually read up on a few posts, and you work at the taxidermy shop? I know where that is. We could definitely meet up before I enact my new plan and go wild, but I have genuinely no idea what we'd even talk about. Holden was the big ghost hunter fan, not me. It might still be cool, though.
- Changeling (the-thing-that-used-to-be-Holden or whatever you called me. I'm still too lazy to check verbatim.)
I could interview you?
I havenāt er exactly got much on yourā¦ Skillset.
Itās a shame you ate Holden, though; it seems like it wouldāve been a good conversation, as long as he wasnāt into any of the āghost huntersā who leech off the community's work to peddle nonsense theories. Georgie and I watch their shows sometimes. Laugh at the knowledge we possess as their betters or some other bloody nonsense. Itās fun though.
Still, if you know where it is, I wonāt stop you from popping over.
Um, maybe buy a plushie or something though. Itās so I donāt get yelled at by a bellboy living inā¦ Well a bell.
I er think Iāve mentioned it before on here, but there are these shirts with a picture of a fat taxidermied animal ā we mostly have deer and bears ā with the caption: āIām Stuffed!ā. You could buy one of those. Orā¦ I donāt know a plushie or something.
It was at a hospital. Old man in hospice. Saw a very strange young woman. Very pale. Kind of reminded me of fog? Regardless she was in the room with him and the next time I checked he was just gone entirely. No blood, no signs of anything.
Sorry, this ask got lost to the backlog.
Thereās a few asks that actually stopped existing for some reason, so I apologise for that.
This was about the fog around The Magnus Institute? Or just a general encounter?
It sounds like The Forsaken regardless. Or The End.
An old man in a hospice disappears after talking to a fog-like womanā¦ Could be a ghost too. Iā I might investigate properly if you have the location?
Itās the no sign of force that worries me though. Even ghosts ā especially fear monsters ā would want to get a reaction. Did it need something from him?
Then again, it erā It might him somewhere, and then fed on the poor bastard. Iāll keep an eye out onā¦ The definitely not stolen digital records I have from You-Know-Where.
They are an absolute mess though, like something was alive in the computer and died trying to sift through the files.
Wow. I decided to look back on Tumblr for Halloween, and man, you've definitely made a lot of progress while I wasn't looking.
But either way, I looked under what information you have and seeing a description of ME with 'friendly' in parenthesis definitely gave me... An Emotion. I feel like I'm doing bad at my job here, man. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be scarier than this, but I've just been idling for way longer than I should be.
So I might try something new and maybe see how this goes?? I probably shouldn't announce that publicly, but whatever by this point. I have no idea if this is going to change how I'm categorized or prove that I need more practice. But either way, it's worth a shot, I think? Maybe?
- Changeling (I think you have me listed as "the-thing-that-wasn't-Holden"? Or something similar)
Itās been getting hectic lately.
I mean, I'll be honest here, the bar isn't exactly high. It's more like didn't try and kill me, might try and kill me and tried to kill me. With varying levels of nuance if I can be bothered. I am a professional after all.
But you were friendly: You were polite, you were informative, and you were polite. Generallyā¦ Humane I guess. Donāt get me wrong, you were stillā well you did speak about stealing someoneās life without any sense of empathy. But thatās nothing thatās not expected, unfortunately. You were good.
You should try something new. Iād looking forward to it. Asā as long as itās less murderous.

When The Distortion lets him go I could have you meet another Ramao kid. Sooner the better imo since he's getting weaker everyday.
Bad ask to have a late response to.
Which is to sayā¦ Is he dead?
If not Iām happy to meet the kid. So long as heāsā¦ Not a literal child. Anything under the age of eight might as well be an avatar of The Faceless with how they behave. Mostly. Iāve met a few rather adorable exceptions.
Actually er, has The Distortion let him go? I didnāt realise it captured people.

Mostly, yeah. How're you holding up, there, Hunter? Still mad? Didnt die at the trophy room, I hope. If so I'm talking to a ghost, which is really ironic, considering your situation. As hunter.
Ooh, yikes. Nono, bad idea, ghost-hunter. You dont tamper with the trophy room, never, never ever do you tamper with the trophy room. Eer, gosh. That really is just, yikes. Yyikeesss. Bad idea. Dont do it, ghost-hunter, I'm warning you.
[She clears her throat, though the tape recorders distortion makes it sound like a sickly cough.]
Well, yes. What d'you expect from a place crawling with dead, clove-ridden animals? Really, better quit while you're ahead. 'Fore you turn into one of them. Gross.

youāre like ghost tommyinit to us :3 heās never living the ājump in the Cadillacā thing down, neither is are you ever living down your meme āØ
Thatās certainly a comparison.
Canāt say ād ever thought Iād be compared to him.
Still, I just thought after erasing it from every corner of the entire internet like it was smallpox, that it would die.
At least the hate edits are truly well and dead. Who even invented those? Why doesā Iām actually not in the mood to go on a tirade about all the crackpots and grifters that came out of the woodworks to get revenge from times I was honest about them.
So glad Iām off social media (I made this afterwards it doesnāt count).
There was one meme that came out of that mess that actually got a laugh out of me, but I really only remember the anger.
Having the Admiral being dressed up as the Archivists is hilarious I love that image sm xD
Oh also I didn't realise how sending you a tiny doll would look I promise I'm not a Stranger š (as much as I could go on rants about identity and faces I'm beginning to think Breekon and Hope really do not like me giving them packages to deliver in the form of dropping them from incredible heights even if I don't break them š)
That being said, I don't know how artefacts become "artefacts" but it wasn't involved in a traumatic situation as far as I'm aware so you should be okay ;D

//ooc I found this blog today and woah you have a ton of stuff going on it's kinda daunting. I'm curious as to where you are in the timeline or if that's stated anywhere & I missed it (+ ur ooc & boundaries and stuff bc I can't find that anywhere š)
// Anyway, this blog is super cool and I wanna interact more (I took a nap and it genuinely came to me in a dream that I should come back here.... I'm sorry if that sounds weird I just think it's funny)
I understoodā¦ Most of that. I think.
And as far as I know, I agree. Artefacts are always artefacts. Or at least, I have heard nothing to suggest they were originally normal.
So Iāll keep the tiny doll, donāt worry.
Then again, I havenāt exactly looked into it. Maybe I should. I mean, humans can become avatars.
//ooc
I donāt really post occ (because I am a snob and immersion or something), so I maybe sorta kinda forgot to make a post concerning my boundaries.
Iāll just put it here:
My boundaries are very generic, so just stick to likeā¦ Basic human decency and youāll be grand.
The blog started sometime after Melanieās first statement, and we are slowly going through the timeline. Currently at (aroundish) episode 100.
And Iām gonna to use that dream to tell my best friend Iām better than them.
