Ghost stories

Books are the best places to find good ghost stories.

For children: Start with a classic such as Oscar Wilde's tale The Canterville Ghost.

(You can download a copy here, free.)

In more recent popular children's fiction, try R. L. Stine's Goosebumps books, or some Spooky Campfire Stories. Ask for recommendations at your public library, too.

Charles Dickens' novel, A Christmas Carol is a classic. Download your free copy of the original book, here.

Adults may enjoy "true" ghost stories such as The Myrtles Plantation and The Amityville Horror. Or, choose a really good scare with Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, or the original movie based on it, The Haunting. (That movie inspired Disney's 'Haunted Mansion' attraction.)

However, there are some good ghost stories at websites, too.

For children: MacScouter's Ghost Stories for Scouts.

For adults: The Moonlit Road, Ghost Stories online, and Halloween ghost stories.
