Ghost Stories

For this contest I would like to read some ghost stories. Making it spooky is ok, but please no bloody gore or extreme violence.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir is one of my favorite movies, if that helps you get my drift.

Everything else is up to you. Have fun writing.

    Wow, the Ghost and Mrs. Muir, I remember that movie from when I was little and my mom would watch it all the time.

    I'll see if I can find something to put together for this.

    Hi

    Have you read 'Too Many Ghosts' by Paul Gallico? It is one of my favorite ghost novels.
