I am looking for ghost stories that are about ghosts specifically. I am not looking for stories where the ghost is a Scooby Doo hoax, or where the ghost is entirely metaphorical.
I am also specifically not looking for stories where the haunting is caused by some sort of demon or, dare I say it, ‘eNtItY’. I want real, formerly alive, usually human (negotiable) ghosts.
I also want to avoid stories where it starts out as a genuine ghost story before devolving into something whacky. I don’t wanna be several hundred pages into a heartfelt, genuine ghostly drama about family before it turns into a horror-comedy featuring a jealous Pumkpin puppet that forces art students to commit arson and murder.
The genre itself can be anything really – horror, romance, comedy – as long as they have ghosts I am 100% for it!
