About the Collective

Mortal Ties Collective is a unique blend of genealogy, paranormal investigation, and history. We honor the lives and legacies of those who came before us—through historical research, spiritual connection, and uncovering untold stories. Whether it’s tracing family roots, exploring haunted sites, or preserving memories through creative visuals, we believe in the power of story to connect generations.

Along with our investigations and research, we offer both digital and print products to help families showcase their history in meaningful ways—custom photo keepsakes, family trees, heritage books, and more.

Follow along for insights, investigations, and inspiration from the past—because the ties that bind us don’t end with time.

Mission Statement

At Mortal Ties Collective, we empower individuals and children to uncover, celebrate, and preserve their family histories. Through immersive storytelling, personalized research, and creative learning experiences, we connect people to their ancestors, fostering a deeper understanding of identity, heritage, and the threads that tie generations together.

How we give back

One of our core tenants is inspiring a love for history and genealogy in children. We offer free resources, a mobile museum, and more to support children’s education.

The Mobile Museum includes old cameras, family photographs, letters, books, and other artifacts to tie children to the past.

About the Owner:

Hey, I’m Krystal Haseltine, and I’m the soul behind Mortal Ties Collective. I’ve always been fascinated by the way the past still whispers to us — through family stories, old heirlooms, and even the paranormal.

For me, genealogy, ancestral healing, paranormal exploration, and nature photography all flow together. They’re different ways of listening — to the people who came before us, to the spirits that linger, and to the earth that keeps us rooted. Whether I’m digging into a Civil War family line, investigating a haunting, or hiking with my camera, I’m always chasing those hidden threads that connect us.

At the end of the day, I believe every story matters — human, spirit, and earth alike — and I want to help bring those stories into the light.
