One of the best ghost stories I've heard is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. It's about a governess who takes care of two children in a big, old house. She starts seeing strange figures and believes the children are being haunted by the ghosts of former servants. The ambiguity in the story, whether the ghosts are real or just in the governess's mind, makes it truly chilling.
There's this story about a haunted theater. An actress died during a performance on that stage many decades ago. Since then, actors and crew members have reported all sorts of strange happenings. Lights would flicker on and off during rehearsals, and sometimes you could hear the sound of a woman singing when no one was there. I once worked backstage at that theater for a short time. One day, I was alone in the dressing room, and I felt a cold breeze brush past me. I quickly left the room, thinking it might be the ghost of that actress.
A really sad ghost story is about an old man who passed away suddenly in his old house. His ghost stays because he's worried about his dog that he left behind. The dog doesn't understand why its master is gone. The old man's ghost watches over the dog, but he can't interact with it. It's a story full of loneliness and love for a pet.
The one about the haunted house on the hill. There was a family who moved in. Every night, they would hear strange noises, like footsteps and whispers. One day, the daughter saw a figure in white in the attic. They tried to leave, but the doors and windows would not open. Eventually, they called a priest who performed an exorcism, but the priest was thrown down the stairs. They managed to escape in the end, but they never fully recovered from the horror.
The story of the Bloody Mary is often considered a very spooky one. Legend has it that if you stand in a dark bathroom, light some candles, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times, a ghostly figure will appear. It gives people the creeps just thinking about it.
No, I haven't. It might be a very specific or regional story that I'm not familiar with.
I'm afraid I haven't. There are countless ghost stories in different cultures and regions, and this 'lowery ghost story' isn't one that has come to my attention yet. It could be a very unique and local story that only a few people know about.
I'm afraid I haven't. There are so many different things out there, and this seems like a rather specific and perhaps not very well - known combination. It could be something very niche within the 4plebs community or just a title that isn't widely circulated.
I'm afraid not. But I can imagine it would be a great story if it involves a poacher who gets spooked by some sort of ghostly presence while he's out in the wild doing his illegal deeds. It could be a cautionary tale about respecting nature and its boundaries.
Yes, I once heard a story about a championship trophy in a small town's baseball league. The trophy disappeared one night, and then strange noises started coming from the empty trophy case. People said it was the ghost of a former player who was angry that his team hadn't won in years and he took the trophy as a sign of his disappointment.
Sure. There was a white ghost story I heard from an old friend. It was about a white - haired old man's ghost that haunted a dilapidated house. Apparently, he was a former owner who had died under mysterious circumstances. His ghost was often seen wandering around the rooms, especially on stormy nights.
