## Description
Long ago, on a dark and stormy night…just like this one…

A young, brave, charming, funny, successful, attractive, courageous, and currently available woman came up with an idea for the single greatest supernatural investigation show of all time: TARANORMAL. Who was that woman, you might ask? It was ME! (and Maddie(but mostly me))

Since then, it’s been our mission to bring you the most in-depth, in-teresting, and in-credible paranormal videos on the web! And what better way to celebrate the supernatural than an extra special Halloween livestream? It is the very best day of the year, after all.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy as me and Maddie celebrate this most wonderful of days with an awesome treat for all of you. I’m sure you’re all dying to see more of me, after all. Get it? Dying? I’m so funny.

## Characters

A part-time manager, part-time video editor, and full-time babysitter, Maddie has the thankless job of handling the absolute whirlwind that is her best friend Tara.

Hobbies: Film analysis, piano
Likes: Succulents, day planners, peace and quiet
Dislikes: Cold weather, quinoa, flip flops

That, combined with her resistance to traditional social standards, has caused her to develop a bit of a notorious reputation in the village.

However, this resistance is not just an act of rebellion: Morgan knows that there's something sinister deep within Eysenfeld, and she's not going to stop until she tears it out at the roots.
