There might be stories of strange creatures in the book. It could be about a werewolf - like creature that lurks in the woods near a small town. People in the town start to notice strange things like livestock going missing, and then some start to claim they saw a large, wolf - like figure but much more menacing. This kind of story, with its elements of mystery and danger, would fit well in a collection of spooky stories like 'the ghost train and other spooky stories'.

Cold spots are often a part of ghost stories. You could be in a warm room and suddenly come across a freezing - cold area. It's as if the presence of the ghost is sucking the heat out of the air. And then there are the voices. Sometimes, a faint whisper or a scream can be heard, which is very disturbing as there's no visible source for it.

The story of the haunted Thanksgiving table is quite creepy. A family had an heirloom table that they used every Thanksgiving. One year, they noticed that during the meal, the table would shake slightly for no reason. Then, they started seeing a faint face in the wood of the table. It was said that a relative who had been very attached to the table had passed away, and his spirit was somehow connected to it, making his presence known during the Thanksgiving gatherings.

A really spooky Ghost Real Story is from a forest. Hikers claimed to see a glowing figure among the trees. They said it seemed to be floating and would disappear when they got closer. It was rumored to be the spirit of a lost traveler who perished in the forest long ago. There was also a story about a hospital where patients saw a nurse - like figure in the hallways at night, but the hospital didn't have any nurses on duty during those hours.

One spooky campfire ghost story is about the Lady in White. Legend has it that she haunts an old bridge near a forest. People who cross the bridge at night claim to see a figure in a white dress. She is said to be the spirit of a young woman who died tragically there long ago.

A rather spooky RV story involves a family on a road trip. In the RV, their young daughter would talk to an 'invisible friend' who she said lived in the back of the RV. But when they asked her to describe this friend, she described someone who looked like a figure from an old photo they found in the RV which was of a person who had died long ago. It really freaked them out.

In one campground, there is a story about a Native American spirit. The land was once an important site for the local tribe. Campers have reported seeing a strange mist that takes the shape of a warrior on horseback. The apparition rides through the campsite silently at dawn and dusk. It's believed that the spirit is still guarding the land, and any disrespect to the area might bring bad luck, like sudden equipment failures or strange animal behavior.

There's a story where a child saw a ghostly child in the school hallway at night. The school was an old building. The apparition seemed to be lost and looking for something.

The school has since tried to perform some cleansing rituals but the stories still persist.

One classic spooky ghost story is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. It features Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. The idea of a headless rider chasing someone through the misty woods at night is truly terrifying.
