The novel " Yearning Gate " was not a ghost story. This novel was a modern urban emotional novel. It told the story of the protagonist Lin Lin who accidentally came into contact with the mysterious "Yearning Door" after falling out of love. She met various different characters and experienced a series of bizarre stories. Although there were some fantastical elements in the novel, it was not a ghost story but an adventure full of emotions and humanity.
Well, it might be. There could be unexplained noises, strange lights, or feelings of unease in the house next door that lead people to think it's a ghost story. Maybe previous occupants had some spooky experiences, like objects moving on their own or cold spots. But it could also be just superstition or misunderstandings of normal house noises and drafts.
A really frightening story is about a deserted cabin in Door County. It was the site of a brutal murder. People who pass by say they can see blood - like stains on the windows, even though they've been cleaned many times. And there are tales of a figure that lurks inside the cabin at night.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many open door ghost stories. Generally, it might involve a ghost associated with an open door, perhaps something spooky happening when a door is left open at night, like seeing a strange figure or hearing unexplained noises.
I don't know the exact main characters in this particular story without more details. It could be the people who live in the haunted place with the open door.
It could be both. It might be a story where the presence of a ghost next door initially seems spooky (horror element), but then a love story develops between the main character and the ghost, which is the romantic part.
The story of the haunted inn is quite famous. Guests staying at this particular inn in Door County have reported strange noises during the night, like footsteps in the empty hallways and doors creaking open on their own. Some say it could be the ghosts of former guests or even the original owners who still linger in the building.
