There was this story on NPR about a particular graveyard. It was said that at midnight, if you stood near a certain tombstone, you could hear faint whispers. A group of curious teens decided to check it out one night. They went there and as they got closer to the tombstone in question, they felt an uneasiness. One of them claimed to have heard what sounded like a name being called, but they couldn't make out whose name it was. They quickly left the place, scared out of their wits.
I recall an NPR real ghost story of a theater. The actors and crew would sometimes notice a figure in the balcony during rehearsals. It was always a woman in a white dress.

Some even said they could smell a faint perfume in the air when she was 'present'.
One NPR ghost story is about a haunted lighthouse. There were reports of strange noises and apparitions.

Well, there's a story about an old inn. Guests staying there would experience their beds being shaken in the middle of the night.
