Ghost stories are sometimes known as ethereal yarns. 'Ethereal' gives the sense of something not quite of this world, much like ghosts. They can also be referred to as wraith - related recounts. Wraiths are often associated with ghosts in folklore. Additionally, spook yarns is another name. 'Spook' is a common term for a ghost or something scary, and 'yarn' is an old - fashioned way of saying story.
Some other names for ghost stories could be spooky tales or haunted narratives.
Consider names that evoke strong emotions and images related to the supernatural. 'The Sinister Shadows of the Old Mansion' is great as it makes you think of a large, old, and potentially haunted building with menacing shadows. 'The Ghost of the Drowned Village' is also a good one. It gives a backstory and a sense of tragedy which is often associated with ghost stories. And 'The Cursed Forest's Haunting' implies that there is something wrong with the forest, something haunted and cursed.
In Japanese culture, ghost stories are often called 'kaidan'.
Accounts can also be another name for stories. It can imply a more factual or descriptive type of story, such as an account of someone's journey or an event that happened in history.

Gray. This last name can convey a sense of ambiguity. A character named Mr. Gray could be someone who is not clearly good or bad, adding depth to the story. For instance, in a political thriller, he could be a key figure whose motives are hard to decipher.
Instructional narratives can be another name. These types of stories are meant to instruct or educate the reader or listener on proper behavior and values. They can be used in educational settings or just for general self - improvement. For instance, many old folk tales from different cultures are instructional narratives with moral lessons hidden within them.
Well, another example could be in some less - known Christmas stories where there are kids who bully others during the Christmas season. However, the most famous bully - like character in Christmas stories is still the Grinch. He had this really negative attitude towards Christmas and the Whos. He was all alone on his mountain and his envy and bitterness made him do bad things like stealing Christmas from the happy Whos in Whoville. His actions were like those of a bully, but he had a change of heart in the end.
