One common element is the time factor. Often these stories happen at night, like midnight or during a full moon. Another is the idea of the painted figures coming to life. It gives a sense of the supernatural. For example, in many stories, the painted characters on the wall start to move around as if they have their own will.
Well, I've come across a painted wall ghost story. In a small village, there was a church with a painted wall. The painting depicted a group of saints. However, some villagers said that on stormy nights, the saints in the painting would seem to cry, and there were faint moans coming from the wall. It was thought to be a sign of some past misdeeds associated with the church.
"Moon Breeze Listening to the Painted Wall" mainly described the struggle and adventures of the protagonist Xiao Yan after he transmigrated to another world. There were many mysterious characters and complicated plots in the novel. It was full of elements such as war, desire, faith, and human nature. It was a work with ups and downs, rigorous structure, beautiful writing, and profound thoughts.

Yes, there are some ghost stories associated with the Great Wall of China. One story is about the workers who died during its construction. It's said that their spirits still roam the wall. They sacrificed so much in such harsh conditions that their presence is felt as a kind of spectral energy.
I haven't read this 'Atop the Fourth Wall: Amazing Ghost Stories' directly. However, in ghost stories, there are often common themes like revenge, unfinished business, or lost love. So perhaps in this collection, there are ghosts who are seeking revenge on those who wronged them in life. Or maybe there are ghosts who are trying to find their long - lost loves. Another possibility is that the stories are more about the psychological horror of believing in ghosts rather than the actual ghosts themselves, like characters slowly going mad because they think they're being haunted.
The secret might be the cause of the ghost's death. For example, if the ghost was betrayed and killed, and the evidence of that betrayal was hidden in the wall, the ghost would be tied to that location because of the unresolved issue.
Maybe there's a hidden diary of someone who died tragically. It could hold their darkest secrets and unfulfilled wishes, which is why the ghost is still lingering.
It's hard to say. It could be neither. Maybe the ghost is just a manifestation of the secret in the wall. For instance, if the secret is a great sadness or a wrong that was done in the past, the ghost is just a symbol of that and doesn't really have a 'friendly' or'malicious' nature in the traditional sense.
One aspect could be that the stories might feature unique types of ghosts. For instance, there could be elemental ghosts like a fire - based ghost that leaves a trail of heat wherever it goes. It could also have stories where the ghosts have a connection to a specific object or place, like a haunted locket or a cursed well. The settings of the stories might vary widely, from old, spooky mansions to modern - day city apartments.
