Sure. One 'not so scary story' could be about a friendly ghost who just wants to help a family find their lost cat. The ghost leaves little clues for the family, like moving the cat's favorite toy to a visible place.
One really scary story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by an old man's 'evil eye' and eventually kills him. The guilt then haunts him as he imagines he can still hear the old man's heart beating.
One 'not so scary ghost story' could be about a friendly ghost in an old house. The ghost just likes to move things around a bit to get people's attention. It's more mischievous than scary. For example, it might stack the books in a funny way or turn on the radio to an oldies station. People who live in the house eventually get used to it and consider the ghost as a part of their home.
One not so scary Halloween story is 'The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything'.

One 'not so scary bedtime story' could be 'The Little Red Hen'. It's about a hen who asks for help to plant wheat but no one assists her until it's time to eat the bread made from the wheat. It has a simple moral and a gentle plot.
Sure. One not so scary horror story could be 'The Canterville Ghost' by Oscar Wilde. It's about a ghost who tries to haunt a family but fails in rather comical ways. The family isn't really scared of him and instead he becomes more of an annoyance. Another is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. While it has some spooky elements, it's not overly terrifying. Ichabod Crane is a superstitious schoolteacher who has an encounter with the Headless Horseman. And 'The Monkey's Paw' is also a great one. A family gets a magical paw that can grant wishes, but with horrible consequences. However, the way it's written makes it more thought - provoking than truly scary.
, I recommend the following novels to you: Hello, Mr. Ghost, I created the Myth of the Old One, Tomb Robber Immortal Fate, Demon God's True Understanding, Hell Movie Theater, After Being Trapped in Infinite Entertainment, She Killed the Salted Fish Boss Crazy, and Unnamed Game Records. They all had some dark elements, but they were not too scary. There were more elements of suspense and fantasy, and they were suitable for readers who did not want to read too scary. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
