Can you recommend some best ghost stories for a spooky night?

Sure. 'The Monkey's Paw' is a great choice. It's a short but very effective ghost story. The idea of the cursed monkey's paw that grants wishes but with a horrible price is really terrifying. Just three wishes lead to so much horror.

Sure. 'The Canterville Ghost' is a great pick. It's set in an old English manor during winter, and the ghost has some really funny and spooky antics. Another is 'Thurnley Abbey' which has a very chilling atmosphere, especially when the cold winter winds are howling outside. And 'The Mezzotint' is also a good one. It gives off a very eery feeling, much like a cold winter night.

Sure. There's a story about a lighthouse that was said to be haunted. Supposedly, the ghost of a former lighthouse keeper still roams there. Another good one is about an old inn where guests have reported seeing the figure of a woman in a white dress wandering the halls at night.

Definitely check out the story of the Baychimo. It was a cargo ship that got stuck in the ice in 1931. Even after being abandoned, it was seen drifting in the Arctic for decades. People who claim to have seen it say it looks like a ghost ship, just floating there all alone.

Sure. 'Lights Out' is a great choice. It has a lot of bone - chilling ghost stories. Another good one is 'Suspense' which will keep you on the edge of your seat with its ghostly tales.

Sure. 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe is a great one. It's often available in audio form. The narrator's descent into madness is really spooky.

The story of the headless horseman. He rides through the night looking for his lost head. If you're out on the road where he haunts, you might just see him coming towards you, his horse's hooves making a terrifying sound.

Sure. 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman is a top pick. It has a really creepy other - world filled with a sinister 'other mother' figure. Another is 'The Girl Who Drank the Moon' which has some ghost - like elements in its magical world. And 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl has some spooky moments that are suitable for middle - graders.

Sure. 'Lore' is a top pick. It's filled with historical horror stories that will send shivers down your spine. For example, it might tell you about some old - fashioned superstitions that turned out to have a terrifying truth behind them. Another one is 'The NoSleep Podcast'. The narrators there do a great job of bringing the horror stories to life. And 'Welcome to Night Vale' offers a really unique and spooky experience with its off - kilter town and the strange happenings there.

There are many good ones. For example, 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. The headless horseman chasing Ichabod Crane is a classic spooky image. 'August Heat' is also a short but creepy story where a man meets a stranger whose drawing seems to predict his death in a very strange way. And 'The Black Cat' by Poe again, with its themes of guilt and the supernatural, is a great short spooky tale.
