Well, literary agents will look at the originality of the ghost story. If it's just another run - of - the - mill tale of a spooky ghost in an old mansion, it might not stand out. They also want to see how the author builds tension throughout the story. In a ghost story, tension is key. It keeps the readers on the edge of their seats.
