One of the scariest fairy tale stories is 'Bluebeard'. In this tale, Bluebeard is a wealthy man who has a blue beard, which makes him look rather sinister. He marries a young woman and gives her the keys to all the rooms in his castle, but warns her not to open one particular room. Of course, her curiosity gets the better of her, and she discovers the room filled with the bodies of his former wives.

One of the well - known good fairy tale stories is 'Hansel and Gretel'. Two children are left in the forest and they encounter a witch. Their journey of survival and outwitting the witch is really exciting. 'Rapunzel' is also a lovely story. The long - haired Rapunzel locked in the tower and the prince who tries to rescue her make for an interesting plot.

Yes. In 'The Girl with the Matches', the little girl's apparitions and the cold, desolate setting create a ghostly atmosphere. Also, some versions of 'Beauty and the Beast' have a touch of the supernatural that could be related to ghost stories. The Beast's castle, with its enchanted and often spooky elements, and the mystery surrounding his transformation, gives it a bit of a ghostly - like feel.

One popular Indian fairy tale is 'The Monkey and the Crocodile'. In this story, a monkey befriends a crocodile. The crocodile's wife wants to eat the monkey's heart. The monkey cleverly tricks the crocodile and saves himself. It teaches about the importance of intelligence and not trusting blindly.
