Can you recommend some short ghost stories?

Sure. One short ghost story could be about a haunted old house. A family moves in and starts to hear strange noises at night. Doors open and close by themselves. They see a shadowy figure in the hallway. Eventually, they find out that a previous owner died in the house under mysterious circumstances and their spirit still lingers.

A short ghost story is about a lighthouse keeper. He was alone in the lighthouse on a stormy night. Suddenly, he saw a figure outside the window, a woman in white. She seemed to be floating. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was his imagination, but she was still there. When he opened the door to confront her, she disappeared. But then he heard her sobbing from inside the lighthouse, and he was never the same again.

Sure. One story could be about a haunted house where every night a strange figure appears at the top of the stairs. Another might be a tale of a ghostly hitchhiker who vanishes from cars. And there's also the story of a ghost in an old library that moves books around.

Well, there's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. It features Ichabod Crane and his encounter with the Headless Horseman. It's a classic ghost story set in a spooky small town. Also, 'Carmilla' is a famous vampire short story which has elements of the supernatural and ghostly undertones as it involves a female vampire preying on a young woman.

Sure. One classic short and scary ghost story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by the vulture - like eye of an old man he lives with and his descent into madness as he tries to deal with it. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' where a family gets a cursed monkey's paw that grants wishes but with terrifying consequences.

I recommend the following two novels to you: 1. The One-Eyed Monster: This is a fantasy-alternative fantasy novel. The plot is compact, the writing is humorous, and there are many elements of suspense and horror. It is very suitable for readers who like short stories. 2. "Welcome to the Bizarre Talk Society": This is a suspense-mystery mystery novel. Each story is independent of each other, so it's not easy to feel tired. Moreover, the plot is full of ups and downs, full of surprises and shocks. It's very suitable for readers who like fantasy stories. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~

Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw' is also an old ghost short story worth mentioning. It tells the story of a young governess who is in charge of two children in a large, isolated estate. She becomes convinced that the place is haunted by the ghosts of former servants, and the story is filled with ambiguity and psychological horror.

Here's another. In a small village, there was a well. Legend had it that a girl who was wronged and drowned in it haunted the well. A traveler passing by didn't believe the story. One night, he went to the well to get some water. As he peered into the well, he saw a pair of pale hands reaching up towards him. He quickly ran away, never to return to that place again.
