The use of atmosphere is crucial. A story that describes a cold, foggy night, with a full moon hidden behind dark clouds, gives a great backdrop for a ghost story.

In a short ghost story, if a character is alone in a dark forest and hears a strange howl that might be related to a ghost, that sense of isolation and fear makes it a cool story.
