PATIENT HISTORY
The Linde family was fairly normal. Three children, two dogs, and a lovely suburban home. Mr. and Mrs. Linde were high school sweethearts who got married after graduating from the same university. Everything was normal.
Except for their middle child, Rachel.
Rachel was a quiet, complacent child. Even as a baby, she hardly ever cried or demanded attention. The trait carried over into her adolescence. Much to her parents’ dismay, she often spent more time on her own than with her peers. She was never really alone, though. She had a slew of imaginary friends, and she was perfectly content to play with them.
The girl showed creative aptitude at a young age. By the time she left grammar school, she had written and illustrated three children’s books - her drawings weren’t the best, but the imagination behind them is what counts. She was a good student and always eager to learn and apply. But her social skills were severely lacking, and her parents feared that she would never have the networking skills to be successful in life.
Being successful wasn’t an issue to Rachel, however. To her, life was about passion. And passionate, she was. By the time she reached her mid-teens, she had become a very emotional person. Still a mostly quiet girl, she internalized all negative feelings and events and became prone to angry, often violent outbursts when she finally tipped over the edge.
Being a gentle person by nature, her outbursts were never directed at other people; she would injure and demean herself, punishing herself for things that often weren’t her fault. Her parents were sadistically pleased with her methods; they didn’t have to punish their oddball child – she would do it herself.
During one particularly bad fit, Rachel was ready to throw herself over the stairs of her house. That was when she saw her first real ghost – her deceased grandfather. She had seen them before in her imaginary friends, but she never comprehended what they really were. In a tender gesture that her parents could never be bothered with, he embraced her and convinced her not to jump.
When Rachel attempted to tell her parents about the miraculous event, they dismissed it as another one of their daughter’s abnormalities. But after the first encounter, the frequency of ghostly appearances increased. Everywhere Rachel looked, she saw some form of apparition. By the time she was in her early twenties, she had learned to communicate with them through taps, light flashes, and the like. Within a few years, she could talk to the ghosts that she saw most often. Her parents became fed up with her nonsense and used the money saved for her to attend college to send her to Eichen House, so that she may be “fixed.”

PRESENTS WITH
Rachel is convinced that she can see and communicate with ghosts. The apparitions can be as miniscule as a silvery mist or a full-fledged ghost. She uses taps, light flashes, and sometimes Morse Code to communicate. The longer she has been exposed to a ghost, the easier it is to communicate.
