Can you recommend some old ghost short stories?

Well, there's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane and his encounter with the Headless Horseman in a small, spooky town. Then there is 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad' by M. R. James. It features a rather eerie apparition that is summoned by whistling an old tune.

Sure. 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu is a famous old Victorian ghost story. It's about a female vampire, which was quite a unique concept at that time. It has a very gothic and spooky atmosphere. Also, there's 'The Woman in Black' by Susan Hill. It tells the story of a vengeful ghost that haunts a small English town and brings great horror to those who encounter it.

The radio show 'Inner Sanctum' also had some excellent ghost - related stories. The opening with the creaking door set the mood right away. They told stories of ghosts that haunted people's pasts, like a long - dead relative coming back to haunt someone because of an unfulfilled promise. These stories were well - written and the sound effects added to the overall spooky feeling.

Sure. 'The Tortoise and the Hare' is a great short old story. It's about a hare who is very confident in his speed and mocks the slow tortoise. But the tortoise, with his perseverance, steadily moves forward and eventually wins the race. It teaches us the lesson that slow and steady wins the race.

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.

Based on the information given, I recommend the following short ghost stories: 1. "Ghost Story with an Unpredictable Ending" 2. "Don't be a Companion with the Spirit." The above is my personal recommendation. I hope you like my recommendation.
