Hamilton House Hauntings Pilot
Project Overview
Haunted Days is a story about a pre-teen girl named Clair who can see ghosts. After the passing of her grandmother/legal guardian, Clair is relocated and brought to live with her Aunt Cleo in the town of Thompsonville. As if starting at a new school and having to make new friends wasn’t hard enough, Clair finds herself in the midst of a ghostly mystery.
Hamilton House is haunted by not one, but dozens of spirits. All of which claim to have been “drawn to the house”. Clair is determined to help these spirits cross over as well as find the angry spirit that first died at Hamilton House and help them rest in peace too.
This story is currently being published as a novel, but we have goals to make it into a graphic novel and YouTube series as well.
Voice actors will be working on the show and audiobook for the novel. Artists will be working on this show as well as other future projects.

Clair’s father was never in the picture and her mother passed away when she was three years of age. She was then raised by her grandmother—Beatrice Harper—until her passing. Clair is now in the care of Max’s sister, Cleo Crews.
Although Clair had never met her aunt Cleo before, the two formed an instant bond.
Cleo works as an event planner and is currently organizing a haunted house event for Halloween. Cleo offers to take Clair to the town’s real-life haunted house, which happens to be where the event is taking place.
Clair obviously excepts and is surprised when she arrives at the house to find that it’s not just haunted by one ghost, but multiple. She discovers that one ghost, in particular, is drawing all the other spirits to the house. She takes it upon herself to find out who this ghost is and help them move on.
She’ll make some friends—both living and alive—along the way as she solves this mystery.
“Hi, I’m Clair. I’m new to Thompsonville.”Said nervously; she’s introducing herself in front of a new class.
“I didn’t have many friends at my old school,” leave a pause for dramatic effect, “but I hope we can all be close.”
“I can see you.” Whispering ominously

Grace’s dream is to lead like her mother.
Grace and Clair become friends almost instantly. Although Clair is a bit odd, Grace doesn’t mind. She actually finds it curious and entertaining.
Little does she know that becoming Clair’s friend comes with its own adventure.
"Morning. I have something for Principal Northwood. He left it at my house when he came over for dinner. "She is delivering something to the school principal and talking to the secretary.

Esmeralda is a ghost girl who died in the 1950s.
Esmeralda is one of the many ghosts living in the Hamilton House. She is the first ghost Clair meets in the house.
Esmeralda follows Clair home and requests that she help the main ghost of the house move on, because the mysterious ghost seems to be very angry and restless.
Although Esmeralda doesn’t remember how she died, or much about her past, she is a happy spirit. She still feels lonely like all the other ghosts in the Hamilton House, but she doesn’t let that keep her down.
"Wait, you can see me?" Pause, "You can see me!?"This is the first time Esmerelda and Clair meet. Esmerelda is very excited--and surprised--to find a living person who can see her.

Emily doesn’t have many close friends at school, but she isn’t lonely. The characters in her books keep her company. She does like it when Grace Prince offers to have a homework date at the library, though. And when Clair shows up in their class, she can’t help but become friends with the girl.

Maggie Jones is wife of Julian Jones and mother to T.J. And Aspen Jones. She owns and instructs at a local dance studio. She normally dresses very casually around the house and around town bull dolls herself up for her dance competitions.
When Maggie was younger she discovered she loved to dance. She’d dance at any chance she got. Her mom would put her in as many classes as they could afford. When Maggie was a teen, she got a part-time job at the same dance studio she had taken classes at as a kid. She used her hard-earned money to pay for her own dance lessons so her parents no longer had to, she used whatever money was left to save for college. She took a break from dance when she went off to college. She studied Acting first, then Theatre. After college, she found it difficult to find a job in either thing she attended school for. She hated the thought of moving away from her parents for work, so she returned to worked full time at the dance studio. But now, instead of cleaning the studio, she was trained to be a dance instructor. She fell in love with dance all over again. Due to the owner now being in their late fifties, Maggie helped with all the boring business paperwork too, so the owner wouldn’t have to. At some point along the way, she was “gifted” the studio.
Maggie met her husband in college. They weren’t exactly friends; more like a friend of a friend. It wasn’t until their mutual friend cancelled last minute on a group outing that the two really got to connect. They eventually got married and had a daughter, and then a son.
