Ghost story

A ghost story may be any piece of fiction, or drama, or an account of an experience, that includes a ghost, or simply takes as a premise the possibility of ghosts or characters' belief in them. Colloquially, the term can refer to any kind of scary story. In a narrower sense, the ghost story has been developed as a short story format, within genre fiction. It is a form of supernatural fiction, and is often a horror story. Ghost stories are often explicitly meant to be scary, but they have been made for comedic and tragic effect as well. They are present in many different cultures around the world, and may be passed down orally or in written form.
