A haunted house on Virginia’s Eastern Shore becomes a conduit between two women separated by 400 years.

Author and screenwriter Jacquie Walters joins The Dark Mind Podcast to talk about her new novel Turn Off The Light.

We dig into dual timelines, women of knowledge, and how small communities can be more terrifying than any ghost.

Jacquie unpacks how sleep deprivation, grief, and family secrets fracture her characters’ sense of reality.

We explore her use of quantum physics to reframe what a haunting actually is.

She shares how her TV background shapes her pacing, structure, and “cinematic” horror on the page.

Jacquie also opens up about mediumship, trusting her intuition, and how her daughter’s experiences with spirits helped inspire the story.
