Oh well... that was a long time ago! I remember dearly... I was 10 or 11 and I found this small book of english and american Ghost Stories.
I grabbed it from my Parents shelf and read it... and couldn't sleep after I read "The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall" by John Kendrick Bangs.
That was such a great story!
And perhaps an adult one? I really loved Anne Rices Witch-trilogy and always loved this wisecracking ghost of an uncle!
I'm not sure if a possesed car counts as a ghost story but I'm going to say Christine
Caliban: It sounds like you got into ghost stories at a young age like I did. I loved stories that kept me up at night.
SandyG265: I'll count the possessed car.
Well, I think The Stand would rate right up there. But as it approaches All Hallow's Eve, the cover of this book intrigues me and me thinks I must go to Amazon and download it!
