This was just kind of a random concept I thought up and will feature a different "ghost" in each chapter, so I hope you guys find it interesting!

All characters (apart form my own) and all rights belong to Supernatural,

Reviews are greatly appreciated,

I hope this turns out!

The question was simple enough:

Who are Sam and Dean Winchester?

The answer, on the other hand, was far more difficult than I previously expected. Even people in the hunting community who knew the brothers could only give me brief glimpse into the darkness that shrouded their life. To find the answer, I was going to have to look a lot deeper.

Maybe I should start from the beginning.

My name is Lainey Kingston. I'm a part time Journalism student and part time coffee shop employee. My interest in the Winchesters extends three years back, when they found themselves in my town by the way of a poltergeist. They had questioned me, asked a bit about the history of the town and whatnot. I answered as best I could and gave them each a free coffee for their trouble. And then I forgot about them, as simply as that. It wasn't until my coworker Janine went missing the next day that we all started to get concerned. I didn't correlate the brothers with her disappearance, at least not right away, and it wasn't until she reappeared and they were long out of town that I learned the truth; Janine claimed to have had a poltergeist problem at her house. As I skeptic I didn't trust a word out of her mouth, but as a friend I gave her my full attention.

It had started off small, keys and shoes went missing, pictures were knocked off the wall, glasses knocked over, nothing that couldn't be attributed to her clumsy cat. And then came the shadows down the hall, the voices heard in the dead of night, and the scratches that appeared on her back and stomach. Janine started to get worried and phoned around, finally being connected to the Winchesters through a friend of her uncle. They had arrived just in time, the spirit had allegedly trapped her in the basement and was moments away from burning the house down when the brothers banished it. Turns out the spirit was a previous owner who had been buried on the property and didn't like people outside of the family living there. Janine swore every word was true but this was also the girl who claimed mice were responsible whenever a leftover muffin went missing from the display cabinet. And yet a spark of curiosity was ignited in my mind. Who were these two men that had come to her rescue? She hadn't paid them and had certainly had never met them before, and yet they were more than willing to just show up and offer their help. As time went on, I found it harder to ignore this nagging feeling that those men were somehow more important than I had originally thought and my obsession with learning everything about them grew. So armed with only their names, I asked Janine to get me in contact with her uncle's friend and thus began my descent into the world of the paranormal.

Any skepticism I had was gone about a month into my research, as was any hope I had of finding what I was looking for. The hunter community was a nice, if rather secluded group. They were happy to divulge information but none were too keen on actually assisting me in finding the answer. The Winchesters were somewhat of a legend, everyone knew their name but no one was actually chummy enough with them to tell me anything of substance. After several more weeks of searching, I stumbled upon a disappointing discovery; those closest with the Winchesters, the people who could tell me everything I wanted to know, were dead. Almost all of them. I was heartbroken; my first major research project cut as short as those peoples' lives had been. But I was not willing to give up quite yet, there had to be another way to go about this. And that was how I met Julius.

I call him my ferryman, but in truth he's just a reaper who was as curious about the topic as I was. Turns out the Winchester name is known by more than just humans. Angels and demons and all monsters in between speak of it with a mix of terror and awe. Their status ranked a lot farther up than I had even imagined. And now I had the key to their lives, an insane plan that I knew could go wrong in so many different ways but I couldn't abandon it without at least trying it out first. Julius had agreed to help me with a task that went against the whole natural order of things. He would bring back the dead from their past, just long enough for one last interview and one last chance for me to figure this all out. It was a dangerous job, it's always dangerous messing around with death, but even more so when it could attract the attention of the man himself. Julius couldn't say how his father would react, but we both agreed that we would go on for as long as we could no matter the consequences.

So with that in mind, I decided to start off at the beginning, with someone from Sam's past. A student not much younger than myself who at one point had a bright future ahead of her with the man she loved.

My first interviewee was the second skeleton in the Winchester closet and Sam's dead girlfriend, Jessica Moore.
