The idea of the butcher's tools being haunted. Imagine old, rusty cleavers and meat hooks having some sort of malevolent energy. They were once used to cut up meat, and now it's as if they have a life of their own in the ghost stories. The thought of them moving on their own or being used by a ghost is truly terrifying. Also, the smell of old blood that is sometimes described in the stories, as if the past horrors are still lingering in the air, is very scary.
