One real Halloween ghost story is about the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester, the owner, believed she was haunted by the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles.

A popular scary ghost Halloween story involves a deserted asylum. It was once a place of great suffering and many deaths. On Halloween, the ghosts of the patients are said to roam the halls. There was a young journalist who wanted to do a story on the asylum. She entered the building on Halloween night with a flashlight. As she walked through the dark corridors, she heard screams and moans. When she turned around, she saw the face of a little girl, a patient who had died there long ago, staring at her with sad eyes. The journalist quickly left the asylum, too terrified to continue her story.

The 'Headless Horseman' is also a classic Halloween ghost story. In this tale, a headless rider on a horse rides through the night, usually in a small town or forest.

There's a story of a gay man who volunteers at a LGBTQ+ youth shelter. Every Halloween, he and the kids create their own costumes. One year, a shy and withdrawn teen opened up and designed an amazing costume that showed his true self. They all went out together and the teen's confidence grew. It was a heartwarming moment showing the power of acceptance within the gay community during Halloween.

In an old cemetery, there's a tombstone with a strange inscription. It's said that if you touch the tombstone on Halloween and say a certain incantation, a hand will reach out from the ground. A group of teenagers once tried it. As soon as they said the words, they felt a cold breeze and saw a bony hand emerging from the earth. They all screamed and ran away, never to return to that cemetery again.
