About Fiona Broome

Fiona Broome grew up in a haunted house, and has been interested in ghosts ever since.


In the mid-1990s, Ms. Broome began her first ghost-related website, called "Yankee Haunts." It focused on haunted places in New England.


In 1999, that website became Hollow Hill, and expanded to include ghost reports from across the U.S., Canada, Ireland and the U.K. Ms. Broome also shares advice for new ghost hunters in Hollow Hill's Ghost Hunters' Guide.


Today, HollowHill.com is one of the Internet's oldest and most respected ghost-related websites.


Fiona has contributed articles to paranormal magazines such as "Fate," and her stories have appeared in books such as Weird Hauntings: True Tales of Ghostly Places.


Ms. Broome is also the inspiration for the character "Fiona" in the Charmed novel, Trickery Treat by Diana G. Gallagher.


Starting in November 2007, look for Fiona's illustrations in the book, Do Not Open.


"Fiona Broome" is a pen name. When she's not researching haunted places, Ms. Broome is an artist known for her landscape paintings of New England, Ireland and the U.K. (She paints both haunted and not-haunted locations.)


For Fiona, ghost hunting combines travel, history and an element of mystery.
