Consider a person who has amnesia and has no recollection of his past. He wanders around town with a blank look in his eyes, and every time someone tries to figure out his identity or his past, they hit a dead end. There are whispers that he might be involved in some sort of dark event in the past, but no one really knows for sure. This kind of person, with so much mystery and uncertainty around him, could be described as 'he's a ghost story'.
Someone who always seems to be in the shadows and has a lot of rumors and mysteries surrounding him. For instance, a hermit - like figure who lives in an old, spooky - looking house on the outskirts of town. People don't really know his story, but there are all kinds of strange tales about him. He might be seen at odd hours, and no one really knows what he does. It's as if he's a character straight out of a ghost story.
A hermit who lives alone in an old, dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of town. No one really knows his past, and he rarely comes out. Whenever someone catches a glimpse of him, he's all in black and has a very pale complexion. It's like he stepped out of a ghost story.
Imagine a sailor who was on a ship that was rumored to be cursed. He was the only one who survived a terrible storm that sank the ship. But after that, he was never the same. He would mumble about seeing strange figures on the ship during the storm. Eventually, he disappeared from the town he landed in. People would then say 'so he's a ghost story' because his story was filled with mystery and the unexplained, much like a ghost story.
Sure. In a ghost story, a young girl is staying at an old inn. The inn has a reputation for being haunted. As she lies in bed at night, she hears a strange noise. Then an old man in the next room starts to tell her a story about how, years ago, a maid who worked at the inn saw a ghostly figure in the cellar while she was fetching wine. That's an example of a ghost story within a ghost story.
Sure. In a classic haunted house story, the first ghost could be a lady in white who wanders the halls moaning. Then the second ghost could be a shadowy figure that lurks in the corners and seems to be chasing the characters, adding more danger and fear to the plot.
Frodo Baggins from 'The Lord of the Rings' is a great example of a good person in a story. He undertakes a very difficult and dangerous journey to destroy the One Ring. Along the way, he shows great courage and self - sacrifice. He is also a very gentle and kind - hearted hobbit. He is willing to bear the heavy burden of the ring to save Middle - earth, which shows his selfless nature. He also has a strong sense of friendship and loyalty towards his companions like Samwise Gamgee. His character is a complex mix of vulnerability and great strength, which makes him a truly good person in the story.
Sure. A simple third person story could be: 'John walked to the park. He saw a beautiful flower and decided to pick it for his mother. His mother was very happy when he gave it to her.'
One example could be a story where a ghost of a murdered person haunts the killer. The ghost makes the killer's life a living hell by constantly appearing in his nightmares and in real life, causing him to go insane gradually.
Imagine a 'ghost writer story' where a celebrity who can't write well wants to publish a tell - all book. They hire a ghost writer. The ghost writer is given access to the celebrity's personal diaries and interviews with their friends and family. However, the ghost writer realizes that the celebrity has a very different public image from what is revealed in the private materials. The ghost writer has to find a way to balance presenting the truth while still maintaining the celebrity's marketable image. This story could show the inner workings of the ghost writing world and the complex relationship between the ghost writer, the client, and the public.
Sure. There's a story about a tormentor ghost in an old mansion. The ghost was of a servant who was mistreated and killed by the master. The ghost would lock people in rooms, make them hear the screams from the past, and create cold spots all over the house.
Sure. There could be a story about an artist who is obsessed with creating a mezzotint of a long - forgotten graveyard. Once the mezzotint is completed, the artist starts to experience hauntings. He sees the ghosts of the people buried in the graveyard depicted in the mezzotint. They seem to be reaching out from the print, and strange cold spots appear in his studio. The mezzotint seems to have opened a portal to the spirit world. The artist tries to destroy the mezzotint, but every time he does, something even more terrifying happens.
