About the Collective
Mortal Ties Collective is a unique blend of genealogy, paranormal investigation, and photography. 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.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Krystal Haseltine — founder of Mortal Ties Collective. I’m a passionate researcher, storyteller, and spiritual explorer dedicated to uncovering the hidden threads that connect our past to our present. With a background in social work and a deep love for genealogy, the paranormal, and ancestral healing.
I created Mortal Ties to blend historical research with capturing family heirlooms. Whether I’m tracing family lines through the Civil War or investigating local hauntings, my mission is to honor the lives that came before us and explore how their experiences echo through generations. I believe every story matters — especially the ones still waiting to be heard.
