No. Imaginary friends are creations of the mind, usually by children. They are not the same as ghosts in ghost stories. Ghosts in stories are often depicted as the spirits of the dead, while imaginary friends are just figments of a person's imagination and don't have the same spooky connotations related to death and the afterlife.
According to the information given, there were no novels that involved fantasy, so it was certain that " Ghost Scream " was not a fantasy novel.๐I recommend a few novels to you, such as " Lord Ghost King, Don't disturb me "," The Son of Heaven's Yin Master "," Little Hidden House ", etc. They are all very good. I hope you like my recommendation.๐
I don't think it's a common type. Typical ghost stories often revolve around more general themes such as lost souls, unresolved business from the past, or murders. The 'ribbon around the neck' aspect makes it a more niche or unique kind of ghost story. It might be a regional or local legend in some areas rather than a globally common one.

Another element is the backstory of the ghost. Usually, there is some tragic event in the past that led to the ghost's existence. It could be an unfair death, a broken promise, or some other unresolved issue. This backstory adds depth to the ghost story and makes it more than just a simple tale of a spooky apparition.
A ghost story usually falls under the horror or supernatural fiction genre. It often involves spooky and mysterious elements to thrill and scare the readers.
I recommend the following novels that allow you to see ghosts:
1. " Wangye Farming, Busy Courting His Wife ": The female protagonist of this ancient romance, business, and farming novel was an otaku. After transmigrating, she became a half-blind older girl. However, she unexpectedly had magical powers and could see ghosts. She even took a ghost as a pet.
2. [Carefree Wife: Although it is an ancient time-travel novel, the female protagonist can also see ghosts.] The story also included plots such as rebirth in another world and spatial cheats. I believe that you will be very satisfied.
3. " Hag ": This is an ancient romance novel. The female protagonist can see ghosts after she travels. However, this female lead was not a kind female lead, but a dark female lead's struggle.
I hope that the above recommendations can satisfy your needs for novels that allow you to see ghosts.
One interesting Ghost - type Pokemon story is about Gengar. Legend has it that Gengar was once a Haunter that followed a child around. As the child grew, so did the Haunter's attachment, until it finally evolved into Gengar, always lurking in the shadows, playfully yet spookily around its trainer.
