The story is set in a desolate, fog - covered landscape and the woman in black is a terrifying apparition that brings death and misfortune wherever she appears.

One classic is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James.

A family comes into possession of a magical monkey's paw that can grant wishes, but with terrifying consequences. And 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, which features the iconic vampire Count Dracula who is often associated with the undead and ghost - like qualities.

Then there's 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu. It's an early vampire story that has a very creepy atmosphere. Also, 'The Canterville Ghost' by Oscar Wilde is quite famous. It shows the humorous side of a ghost trying to haunt a family who doesn't seem too bothered by his spooky antics at first.
