The Haunting of Hannah Finn Sharon Wilhoite

It has been said that young children are the perfect medium for paranormal activity. The innocence of a child allows them to see and experience this activity. It is also thought that psychic phenomenon tends to run in families. I'm told that my Grandmother had psychic abilities, which she passed to me. "The Haunting of Hannah Finn" is based on experiences that I had as a child. Memories and experiences that I remember in vivid detail. Children have no control over any paranormal ability. They don't know why they see, hear, or do certain things. It just happens. Often parents think that the child is having a nightmare or vivid dream, or just an over active imagination. Small children are more sensitive to paranormal activity because they have not yet learned the negative stigma attached to speaking up about seeing a ghost. As they grow older some children are no longer able to see the paranormal activity, while others never outgrow it. These children continue to see, hear and even communicate with the dead. As they grow they feel different from other children, because they are. Sense children can't control the paranormal activity that they experience; the ghost could be friendly or could be bad. "The Haunting of Hannah Finn" is about a little girl who can see and communicate with the dead. This novel is about the paranormal activity she experiences.
