Hey, I’m Kristin—though most folks online know me as Draven or Drav.
I'm a horror-loving variety streamer, agnostic pagan, and paranormal explorer living with chronic illness and Complex PTSD. I bring a mix of plant magic, cozy chaos, and ghostly adventures to everything I do.

Small-town gossip, questionable romantic decisions

Small-town gossip, questionable romantic decisions, paranormal activity, and a pumpkin-related cover-up.

Washington Irving really gave us 1800s reality TV with a gothic twist. 😂🎃

Ichabod, Brom, and Katrina have some explaining to do.

Ichabod Crane really went into those woods knowing

Ichabod Crane really went into those woods knowing full well a headless horseman was running around, and somehow still got surprised when things went sideways. Sir. 😭

Meanwhile, Brom Bones looks suspiciously guilty, Katrina Van Tassel is apparently running an early subscription-based empire, and an entire town treats paranormal activity like neighborhood entertainment.

And that pumpkin? Don't even get me started.

Washington Irving gave us ghosts, gossip, questionable romantic decisions, and what might be the greatest pumpkin-related cover-up in literary history.

Honestly, Brom deserves his own docuseries.

Happy Release Day! ⚰️ The Resurrection of Evania

Happy Release Day! ⚰️

The Resurrection of Evania James by @jaimejowright is officially out today!

A creepy old mansion, human remains in the walls, a missing sister, and secrets spanning two timelines? Yeah, this sounds like my kind of mystery. 😂

If you love Gothic settings, historical mysteries, and the kind of family secrets that make you question EVERYONE, this one's worth checking out.

Happy release day, Jaime Jo Wright!

So, who's adding this one to their TBR? And more importantly, if you found human remains in your walls, are you investigating or calling someone and moving out? Because I'm not sure which I'd do first. ⚰️

👻 Whassamatter with the Snedeker family? More impo

👻 Whassamatter with the Snedeker family? More importantly, whassamatter with this BOOK?

Some paranormal books leave you questioning the nature of the supernatural. This one left me questioning the author's vocabulary choices. 😂

“Whassamatter.” “Hummum.” “Whum.”

I'm sorry, are these actual words, or did I accidentally read a transcript of someone trying to communicate through a mouthful of marshmallows?

Between the bizarre wording, sensational claims, and profanity that seems to exist purely for shock value, this book was a struggle. I came away with very little substance, plenty of questions, and a brain that deserved hazard pay for getting through it.

And the accuracy of those haunting claims? That's a whole separate conversation. One I'll save for another day, preferably after my brain has recovered.

📚 Full review linked in my bio!

Have you ever read a paranormal book that made you question whether the haunting was the strangest thing about it? 👀
