Greetings, explorers of the unknown and lovers of learning! I'm Caroline Davis, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to The Haunted Pen, a unique corner of the internet where eerie encounters and educational endeavors collide.
Here, I delve into the fascinating world of haunted objects, unearthing tales that will send shivers down your spine. But that's just the beginning. As I explore these spectral stories, I also venture into the realm of popular culture, dissecting its influence and understanding its place in our world.
But what would a journey be without the tools to document it? As an English composition, technical writing, and American Literature educator at San Antonio College, I offer a treasure trove of resources, insights, and curriculum ideas designed to sharpen your writing skills and enhance your ability to articulate the extraordinary.
Whether you're a ghost story aficionado, a pop culture pundit, or an aspiring wordsmith, there's something here for everyone. So, grab your metaphorical lantern and join me in this adventure through the shadowy corridors of the unknown and the enlightening education pathways.
After achieving my Master's degree in Rhetoric and Composition, with a specialized cognate in Technical Communication, my academic journey took an intriguing turn towards the eerie and uncanny. This fascination with horror and its related themes has allowed me to explore the depths of human emotion and storytelling. My studies have equipped me with a profound understanding of effective communication and technical writing and provided me with a unique lens to examine and articulate the complexities and allure of horror in popular culture. This intersection of academic rigor and a passion for the macabre has started to become a cornerstone of my intellectual pursuits, enabling me to weave together the structured world of composition with the boundless realm of spine-chilling narratives.

Presentation at The Popular Culture Association in the South and the American Culture Association in the South in New Orleans Sept. 2023.
I presented research on haunted objects in the film “Skeleton Key” and the series “Mayfair Witches.”
Today, I am working on redesigning my course curriculum to hint at the eerie psychology and fascination with horror. I’m also working on writing a book on haunted objects in popular culture in America.
I look forward to continuing to update and add new, exciting writings, curricula, and presentations.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
