There is a story where a medium was called to exorcise a ghost from a building. The medium was all serious, chanting and waving his hands around. But the 'ghost' was actually a malfunctioning air - conditioner making strange sounds. When they realized it, it was a very humorous situation.
Libraries are also a good place. They have collections of ghost stories from different regions and time periods. You can look for anthologies specifically about humorous ghost stories. Librarians can also be very helpful in guiding you to the right books or resources that contain these types of stories.
Sure. There was this one story where a ghost was haunting an old house. But instead of being scary, it was obsessed with rearranging the furniture. Every time the homeowners came back, they'd find their chairs and tables in different positions. It was like the ghost had a passion for interior design.
It depends. Some people find ghost stories funny because of the way they are told or the humorous elements incorporated. But for others, they can be scary or creepy rather than funny.
Well, most ghost stories are just fictional tales made up to scare or entertain people. There's no scientific evidence to prove the existence of real ghosts, so while they are called 'ghost stories', they are usually products of human imagination.
The following is a complete collection of short funny ghost stories:
A young female ghost wanted to return to the human world after she died. Before she died, she found a handsome scholar and asked him to help her return to the human world. The scholar agreed, but the ghost told him that she must stay in his bed for three days and three nights and could not leave the room. The scholar agreed, but on the third night, the female ghost suddenly woke up and found that the scholar had disappeared, leaving only a piece of white paper and a pen. The female ghost was very angry and began to write her message. At the end, she wrote: "I am tired of this boring torture. Now I want to return to my ghost world!"
A couple was walking in the forest when they heard a scream. When they got closer, they found a girl trapped in a bush. The girl looked very scared but the boy decided to save her. As he approached the bushes, he suddenly saw a furry bear. The boy was very afraid but he said calmly,"Don't worry, I'll save you." So the boy took out a dagger and stabbed at the bear. The bear noticed the boy's intention and began to run away. The boy continued to chase, but the bear had already run very fast. The boy finally caught the bear, but the bear died because it had been stabbed in the heart by the boy's dagger. The boy felt very guilty because he only wanted to scare the girl and did not consider the bear's feelings.
A young couple lived in an old apartment. One night they heard a noise that seemed to come from the wall. They turned on the lights and saw a ghostly figure on the wall. They were very scared but they tried to comfort each other and started singing and dancing. However, the ghost became clearer and clearer until they realized that it was just a candle on a candlelight dinner. Because the shadow of the candle swayed, it looked like a person. When they finally stopped singing and dancing, the candle shadows disappeared.
An old lady wanted to return to the human world after she died, so she found a handsome scholar before she died and asked him to help her return to the human world. The scholar agreed, but the old lady told him that she must stay in his bed for three days and three nights and could not leave the room. The scholar agreed, but on the fourth night, the old lady suddenly woke up and found that the scholar had disappeared, leaving only a piece of white paper and a pen. The old lady was very angry and started to write her message. At the end, she wrote,"I'm tired of this boring torture. Now I want to go back to my ghost world!"
In my opinion, it's hard to say all are real ghost stories. There are many fictional elements often added to make them more exciting. However, there are those who claim to have had real encounters and base their stories on that, but it's difficult to prove objectively.
Most likely not. These stories are often part of the folklore that has grown around the 9/11 tragedy. People tend to attach supernatural elements to such large - scale and tragic events. It could be that the collective grief and shock make us more susceptible to believing in such tales, but there is no evidence to suggest that ghosts are real in this context.
The characters' reactions also add to the fun. When people overreact to what they think is a ghost, it can be hilarious. For instance, in a story, a man saw a 'ghostly face' in his window at night. He screamed and ran out of the house, only to find out later that it was his own reflection in a dirty window with a strange pattern that made it look spooky. His extreme reaction is what makes the story funny.
